Less than a week until Fred is in!
Update from Imwithfred.com the official Fred Thompson exploratory committee website:


Fred to Announce September 6
Posted on August 30th, 2007By Sean in Announcements

Next week, Fred will announce he is running for President of the United States. The internet has been buzzing these past few hours and excitement continues to build as we near the day of his announcement.

The plan is Fred announcing September 6 by a webcast at www.imwithfred.com. Then Fred will head out on a five-day campaign tour through Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Florida before his homecoming in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee.

It’s exciting for everyone who has been supporting Fred these past few months, but this is just the beginning. As Fred said, “we have an opportunity to change politics in Washington and across the country.” Supporters from all over the country can now devote their time, energy, and resources to supporting a man who wants to keep America secure, unite us, and push for continued prosperity.

The first step begins September 6. Join us on this journey. Sign up to be a Friend of Fred. Put widgets and buttons on your blogs and MySpace pages. Tell friends and family why you think Fred would be great for America.

Gather with your friends and family at one of the thousands of national house parties for Fred September 6. Together we can show our support for a leader who will help keep America secure, unite us, and keeps us on a path of prosperity.

A lawsuit I can get behind

Even a big tort reformer like me can get by this lawsuit against Alan Mollohan's buddy north of the Mason-Dixon line.

A retired military man like Murtha should know better. With his record of service, he understands the impact of Washington politicians who use blatant hyperbole against our troops in a time of war to forward their own aims. He apparently has decided to place his new found antiwar base ahead of the troops formerly under his command.

This man is no better than the Berkeley, CA hippie scum that spit in the face of soldiers getting off the plane after a tour in Vietnam. At least ignorance was their excuse, he has none.

I'm back, and the wait is nearly over!!!

I am back from an extended break from blogging to get my leisure time in before the 2008 Campaign starts gaining steam. Just like Fred, I found that jumping into the center of the Presidential Campaign in the summer of an odd numbered year to be pointless.

With a September 1st deadline looming to register as a candidate to the West Virginia Republican Party Convention, Fred Thompson has approximately 48 hours to register here.

My prediction is that he WILL participate in the West Virginia Convention, and I suspect his internal meeting today may be to inform his troops that his FEC papers are in the mail and that he will be announcing the day after the September 5th debate. He may even tell them the papers to participate in West Virginia are on their way also.

Did our state's deadline encourage him to set things in motion now so that he could participate here? I don't know, but that would be cool. It is hard to get used to WV as a key battleground state in Presidential politics. After all the defining moment of the 2004 Presidential Election took place in Huntington.

Guliani, Romney, Huckabee, McCain, and company have all been in the race for several months now, and the only significant developments has been the very predictable collapse of McCain and the emergence of Ron Paul as the official GOP hippie magnet (anti-war and pro-drug legalization)

Newt was right, it is pointless to have spent all of this Spring and Summer criss-crossing the country begging for attention.
