Fred Thompson was in Iowa making the case that he could beat Hillary Clinton in the election. He builds that case on the foundation of common sense conservatism:
“To my Republican friends, I point out that in 1992, we were down after a Clinton victory,” Thompson said in a video announcement posted to his campaign Web site Thursday morning.
“In ‘94, our conservative principles led us to a comeback and majority control of the Congress. Now, you don’t want to have to come back from another Clinton victory. Our country needs us to win next year, and I’m ready to lead that effort,” he said.
…
“I still have the same common-sense conservative beliefs,” Thompson said in Iowa, citing his belief in the “sanctity of life, lower taxes, less regulation, market economy, free competition, respect for private property rights, free and fair trade.”
“If we stick with that, be successful and continue to be prosperous in this country,” Americans will vote for the Republican ticket, he said.
I agree. But it will take a lot of work to get the swing votes. I’d still take the worst Republican candidate over the best Democrat candidate. The country has enough socialism as it is.
