Only one real conservative in race
It is increasingly clear from watching the recent presidential debates that there is only one true conservative in the race, and even Rush Limbaugh agrees: Fred Thompson.
Only Sen. Thompson has a consistent record supporting life, the Second Amendment, border security, the rule of law applied to our immigration policies, a strong military and national defense, and fiscal responsibility. Every one of his opponents on the stage has to explain away some past decision or position (or perhaps many of them), while Sen. Thompson simply sticks to the same positions he has long held dear.
It is that consistent conservatism born of principled experience that leads me to support Sen. Thompson's campaign for the presidency.
It is my strong belief that only Sen. Thompson can hold together the Reagan Republican coalition of conservatives of every stripe -- social conservatives, fiscal disciplinarians, defense hawks and border security advocates. We will need that full coalition against either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama.
I hope that, whichever of those factions you may find yourself in, you will join me in supporting Fred Thompson for president.
