Watching Fred Thompson talking about John McCain at the Republican National Convention.
I do wish Fred were running.
But I’m appreciative and encouraged by the kind words from Fred, the well spoken story of McCain’s experience as a POW.  Sharing about the times that McCain has done the right thing.
As much as he’s saying about John and [...]

I’m hoping that the fact you have come to this web site means that you care more about government than the average person.  If you care about government, how we do government, and who is doing the work of government on our behalf, then this article is for you.
I’ve alluded to this before, and I [...]

Fred is speaking at the NRTL Convention right now (Thursday, 10:00 AM Eastern). You can see it here at TownHall.com. (Update 12:40 PM Eastern: Looks like they have a line of speakers before Fred hits the key note.  Below is the recorded version… The introduction for Fred starts at 37:30)

I was subjected to scenes of Barack and Hillary playing nice with each other on stage at a rally in Unity, New Hampshire.  It was a bit over the top.
I don’t know what the real content (if any) of their speeches consisted of, and the newscasts simply showed snippets of each of them saying cute [...]

Thursday morning’s Wall Street Journal featured an opinion piece from Karl Rove titled “The GOP Must Stand for Something“.  The piece is well focused on the most critical battleground we face this year: Congressional seats.
In the midst of watching the melee within the Democratic Party, the scant attacks by the MSM against McCain, and the [...]

We’ve kept it pretty loose here at TCR with regard to the continued havoc being wrought by Hillary Clinton against her party. Every day, the lack of her stepping down extends further and further the demise of Democrats and Obama’s chance to manipulate his way into high office.
Amazingly enough, however, the party faithful are [...]

I make no bones about it: I’m a Conservative and a Republican.  If I ever think think the Party is a lost cause, I could abandon it, but current circumstances don’t put me there.  Not even close.
I read with some appreciation Cal Thomas’ column on this subject last week.  His comments regarding the romanticism of [...]

I promised I would try and take a position on the remaining candidates before things are settled. I’m probably too late, but tomorrow still has possibilities for Romney. The party is definitely looking like it’s leaning to port, and it’s what we have to work with.
Of the remaining candidates, I definitely prefer Mitt [...]

I’ve already read a number of strong and thought provoking comments around various blogs as people have anticipated (prior to yesterday’s announcement) and reacted to Fred’s departure from the race. There is significant support for Fred’s message, disappointment (and some outrage) over his announcement, and frustration that the remaining lot of Republican candidates leave [...]

Just got word from KCCI TV (via email, not posted on the web site yet) that Fred has decided to drop out of the race.  More to come later today, I’m sure.
Disappointing, to say the least.
