THE MORE I SEE THE MORE I LIKE - RUN FRED RUN!!!

Posted on June 29, 2007

Every day I read something more about Fred Thompson that makes me really want him as the next President. We do have a lot in common, we are both conservative, ex-senators, currently unemployed, were recognized as having no qualms about being lone votes on issues (he 99-1, me 23-1).

I see in a quote from him at the NH GOP Senate PAC fund raiser that his two questions before voting for or against a bill pretty well match what I considered:

“Number one, should the government be doing this and number two, if it should, at what level should the government be doing it?” Thompson said.

Mine were “should the state be doing this and would we still do it if it was 100% state taxpayer money”.

The Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, he said, were sometimes forgotten but still very relevant to today.

I co-founded the NH House Republican Alliance based on the principle that NH Republican legislators should consider the state constitution and the party platform in voting.

Republicans, he said, must also tap into the wisdom of the ages, which teaches that there is such a thing as human nature, which is subject to error but also is capable of aspiring to and achieving great things.

All these principles, Thompson said, are designed to ensure the freedom and independence of citizens. “Incidentally, freedom and independence are the first words I think of when I think of New Hampshire,” Thompson said.

Boy do I wish I could have been there at the Wayfarer last night!
