Fred's Instead

“Throughout this campaign, Fred Thompson brought a laudable focus to the challenges confronting our country and the solutions necessary to meet them. He stood for strong conservative ideas and believed strongly in the need to keep our conservative coalition together.” -- Mitt Romney, January 23, 2008

So now nobody is talking about true conservative issues. Even the one libertarian is way off message with his isolationist and conspiracy BS. Maddening. The thing is, there are still big differences among the Republican candidates, and the press ignores it. Yet on the Democrat side, there are no discernible differences in the candidates positions, and the candidates are portrayed as very different. I find that ironic. No differences, except for differences only racists and sexists can discern; and so now that's some sort of "defining issue" for this election.

It's amazing to watch. Clinton is more "Clinton" than she is woman. Obama is more Democrat than he is black. When all the superficial stuff blows over, this is why he has a good shot at winning the nomination. But, there isn't much to be gained with Obama in her place. He's still going to push for his brand of socialism, and as long as we are going to have a socialist running the country, as far as the electorate is concerned, it might as well be Obama.

With Huckabee emerging as the next Bill Clinton, and Obama echoing the Reagan Lovefest we hear from the Republican Candidates, I have to wonder if there are still two major parties.

Scoring Update

It's funny that no candidate has said much of anything remarkable in the last 30 days, what with there being a caucus and an election. I will have to deduct Hillary a point for promising to divvy up 110 billion of your money to her friends. Barry and John wish they'd said it first. Also, if Huckabee was a conservative, as he claims, he wouldn't be supporting national health care, higher taxes, and open borders. He should just start his own party (I like "The Populist Party").

Fred gets back to even with his Iranian Speed Boat comments.
