Fred on the Attack Fred Thompson's 30
second video spot shows Romney blatantly supporting his pro-choice
position and Huckabee arguing for an income tax surcharge. When
Anderson Cooper asked Fred "What's up with that [video]?" Fred gets a
great crowd response when he smiles innocently and responds "I wanted
to give my buddies here some extra air-time. I don't know what's up
with it, those are their words!"
Like I mentioned earlier, Thompson's falling poll numbers are going to require a more agressive strategy. The gloves are coming off and the Republican party almost seems to be unravelling before my eyes. Reagan's old adage of "Speak no Evil" seems to be a distant historical relic. Listening to the candidates argue tonight, I can't see much that's logically holding this party together. Virtually every position on an issue is represented and there is no "core conservative" belief set. Thompson may just have the most "authentic" middle of the road conservatism, but that is not, apparently, what the Republicans are looking for.
