Fred Thompson Rocks the Debate

The focus group loved him. Ron Paul? Not so much. LOL.
I’m still trying to find video from the Luntz group rating RP “the lowest in any debate ever” when he was shrieking like Adam Gadahn about Iran. ;-)
Lots of links to praise of Fred Thompson’s performance in the debate at The Fred File here and here. Video of key moments are here. While you’re there, make a donation!
Fred Thompson also got an important endorsement today from Human Events. If there’s any doubt about who the consistent conservative is, this ought to settle it.
We begin by recalling the profound words of Ronald Reagan at the Conservative Political Action Conference Feb. 15, 1975: “A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency or simply to swell its numbers.” We believed that then, and we believe it now. The issue for us — and for the conservative community — boils down to which of the candidates is most representative of the fundamental conservative principles we believe in. The answer is Fred Thompson.
…
We make this endorsement on the basis of much research, having interviewed Sen. Thompson and some of his opponents, as well as examining what they have all said and done. We conclude that Thompson is a solid conservative whose judgment is grounded in our principles.

I think you’re not much of a Sullivan fan, but he did at least say good things about The Fred! in his debate review. Of course he still glows about The Mac and The Paul. Ah well.

Beth,
Thank you muchly for posting this Fred stuff!! Don’t have a working TV so enjoyed the vid clips!!
And thanks for the live blogging last night! That was quite a party!! It’ll
take me a while to get used to it, ’specially the delay between entering & posting when the live blog is bizzy!! Or is that the comment que delay!!
Now I know why Fred has been cooling it these past few weeks! He was waiting for the dumocraps to wear themselves, MSM & the public out on Iowa & N.H. He sure struck like snake last night! The focus group demonstrated how effective he was!
I noticed a coupla wimminz in the focus group totally missed what Fred was about for emotional reasons, like he was flip, or he did talk as nice as they thought he should!! They’d make great democraps!!
Seems like a whole new campaign ballgame, thanks to Fred’s “surge”! (HA!)
Cheers…………………….Lance
PeeEss: I thoroughly enjoyed the way Fred chewed up Hukabuk & spit ‘im out!!! Chuck Norris better watch his ass!! Dayum!!!
