Here Come the Intra-Party Attacks on Fred

Now here is a guy who does not like Fred Thompson for President (or maybe I should say couple).

In an article I read by Dick Morris and Eileen McGann, Fred is skewered by a number of citations of low moments of Thompson’s Conservative credentials.

The Morris/McGann article endorses Giuliani or McCain on there credentials on Security.

The Morris/McGann article proclaims Thompson’s stand on social issues and film/TV making fame are not issues to become elected as President.

Morris/McGann concedes to Hillary Clinton as President anyway and they reason why should we vote for a Republican candidate that has core Conservative social values?

Hmm … Let me think about that.

The issues Morris/McGann brings up are compelling; nonetheless the social issues facing America will make or break her from the inside out. I seem to remember a more famous Hollywood actor also called to horribly uninformed, inexperienced and way too trigger happy to qualify as President.

Only time will tell if Thompson has the chutzpa President Reagan had; however it is the social issues and the terrorist issues combined Americans should be thinking about. Can anyone claim Thompson is cut-n-run or anti-victory in the War on Terror?

I will vote for any Republican that wins the nomination, but I hope it is Thompson.

Thompson Strategically Avoids Sept 5 Republican Debate

The next Republican debate is scheduled for Wednesday September 5th. Thompson’s official campaign announcement for President will occur on a webcast that can be viewed by all on September 6th.

Captain’s Quarters calls the strategy brilliant for it places Thompson in a position of overshadowing the Republican debaters while simultaneously not have to respond to candidate retorts in which Thompson may not be prepared for as yet.

I agree with Capt. Ed, Thompson’s late start means he has not acquired a huge campaign war chest comparable to some of the other Republican front runners. A gaffe from Thompson just before his official campaign announcement could be politically suicidal even before the official work begins.

Capt. Ed points out also that even after entering the campaign fray, Thompson cannot afford political misstatements. Every word in his early stages must be weighed in order that Thompson does not shoot himself in the foot.

Fred’s campaign reputation took a little hit when Thompson released Tom Collamore who was to be the Campaign Manager designate and replaced him with Spencer Abraham. The rub with Abraham is that anti-jihadist journalist Debbie Schlussel has exposed Abraham as pro-Arab with a little cozying up to Islamists. This information frankly concerned me about Fred Thompson when I first read it.

Evidently it concerned Fred as well for Abraham’s campaign involvement was downsized to campaign advisor.

Fred Thompson then went out and got friend Bill Lacey to run the upcoming Thompson campaign for President. It appears Randy Enwright will be the number two guy in the campaign hierarchy followed by Spencer Abraham. Linda Rozett has recently departed from an apparent spokesperson position for the Thompson Campaign.

Lacey and Enwright certainly are additions resulting from the image stains of Spencer Abraham (or Jihad Spencer as Schlussel calls him).

With the staff apparently solidified, the nuts and bolts of acquiring delegates from State Primaries and Caucuses will now begin with a September sixth webcast announcement the next day after the Republican debate in New Hampshire.
