THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER

Even conservatives think the presidential campaign of Fred Thompson is all but dead. His well-researched issue solutions such as tax reform have sunk out of sight within days after they were first floated.

Grow the military for a revitalized national defense, that’s what Fred wants–sixty-four brigade combat teams and 50,000 more Marines. A timely idea that sounds good to me. MORE: Fred’s career as an assistant U.S. Attorney in Nashville–what the L.A. Times left out. 

Fred ain’t dead, but he’s sure flying under the radar, leaving Rudy to be hammered by the Left–counterproductively, of course: "…the more vocal, vicious and unfounded the liberal attacks on Mr. Giuliani become, the easier it is for him to make his case to conservative primary voters that they agree on a lot more than [...]

Meanwhile Fred’s going after government waste, always a good theme, given the huge numbers of government haters, never more apparent than today: "We found $20 billion in waste. [...]

I wouldn’t expect the MSM to report supportively on Fred Thompson, the way they do for their favored Democrats, like Hillarity, everyone’s wicked stepmother. I recall that Reagan’s early campaign was met mainly with skepticism. Most of the news media is not conservative, after all, and considers Republicans to be the folks you call when [...]
