Former TN Senator Fred Thompson just endorsed Newt Gingrich

[oreo]

Thompson first explained what his criteria were in making his decision.

“The way I view the strength of these candidates had to do with the way I view the status and direction of our government,” Thompson said. “We’re in deep trouble. I probably think, I think that probably we are in greater trouble than most people do. Even these numbers that are coming out of Washington that look so bleak are understated.”

“I think we’re at a tipping point in this country,” he said. As far as that tipping point, Thompson described some of the things that might trouble the country in the future.

“There are going to be more people in the wagons soon than are pulling the wagon,” he predicted. “I think we’re there. Almost half the people are the recipient of some federal program. Almost half the people pay no federal income tax. I think this president is taking us down the road of a genuine welfare state full-fledged, even when we have the example of Europe to teach us and guide us. And I think the American people see what is going on there, see what’s going on in their own country.”

Thus, Thompson said, he was supporting Gingrich because he considered him the best at communicating what was important to Thompson.

“Newt Gingrich is the guy who can articulate what America is all about, American exceptionalism, can make the case and not just read the talking points or do it off the teleprompter, can make the case for free markets and our basic case that lower taxes can be good for everybody, and bring about growth, it’s good for everybody,” Thompson said.

Fred Thompson | Newt Gingrich | Endorsement | The Daily Caller

Fred Thompson--also part time actor and 2008 GOP candidate said something I agree with. He stated--that while everyone is continually looking for candidates outside of Washington D.C.--which Romney continually reminds of,--Thompson stated that Gingrich has spent 35 years in Washington D.C.---knows the problems and agencies within the federal government and is better equipped to dismantle these overblown agencies. He said to get it done--we're going to need someone who is TOUGH.

Fred has a lot of influence with over 65 year old voters.

Which is most of the Repubican Party.

J.C. Watts also endorsed Gingrich - but I wouldn't brag about that endorsement, either.

I used to like Thompson.....then I saw him doing one of those "reverse mortgage" ads. All the hell those things accomplish is taking old folk's homes for a little over half of market value. A good friend of mine whose wife had al heimers checked into one of those and the best he was offered was 60% of the appraised value. Also....one must stay in the home and keep up the maintenance.

That's interesting. I like Thompson. I was living in Nunnelly when he ran for Senator. And yes he campaigned in his little red truck.

The republican party as such is dead. It is neither fiscal conservative nor socially responsible which is why my father in law says the party walked away from him.
He was a hard core republican fiscal conservative for 60 years.... until now.

The death of the republican party began when Watergate, Jerry Falwell,the Texas white house, Iran Contra and home loan frauds became the mission statement. To further put nails in the coffin
of the republican party was accomplished through the expertise of:

Elliott Abrams / James Baker / Gary Bauer / William J. Bennett / George Herbert

Walker Bush / GW Bush / Jeb Bush / Dick Cheney / Eliot A. Cohen / Midge Decter / Paula

Dobriansky / Steve Forbes / Aaron Friedberg / Francis Fukuyama / Frank Gaffney /

Newt Gingrich / Fred C. Ikle / Donald Kagan / Zalmay Khalilzad / I. Lewis Libby /

Oliver North / Norman Podhoretz / Vice Adm John Poindexter / Dan Quayle / Peter

W. Rodman / Stephen P. Rosen / Henry S. Rowen /Donald Rumsfeld / Vin Weber

/ George Weigel / Paul Wolfowitz /

 

[merrill]

Fred is an actor which shined in his days as Senator.

 

[JoeB131]

I like Fred, but I'm still remembering how me massively disappointed me in 2008 by showing up to a gunfight with a knife.

Until Rick Perry showed up to a gunfight with a spoon. Then Fred took on a new dignity.

You're exactly right but with me this hurt them just as bad. It's why I left the party and will never return:
