Fred Thompson's Latest South Carolina Ad
With two days to go until the South Carolina primary, he's laying it all out for you right here. Those of you who complain that there are no conservatives left in the Republican party need to take a second look at Fred Thompson.
Here, Fred comments on President Bush's recent appeal to the Saudis to increase production in order to give oil prices some slack:
"It's not in the United States' long-term interest to go hat in hand begging people to do things that in the end we know they're not going to do," Thompson said.
"What we need to concentrate on is diversifying our own energy sources here in this country and opening up what oil reserves that we have here ... using nuclear more, using clean coal technology more and all the other things that we can do," Thompson said.
Self-reliance? Isn't that what our Founding Fathers and the others who settled this country were famous for? We need to get that back, and Fred can help lead the way. (Notice I said lead, not that he'd do it all for us. That's what nannies do.)

across this great land because without you it is going down a slippery slope under the hand of anyone else. If you make it and visit Maryland I'll put out
signs and whatever else I can do for you!
Depends which founding fathers you are talking about when you discuss self reliance. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison all relied on many slaves, hardly the self sufficient type you imagine them to be.
