Right On The Right

This is Justin on Fred, a new running commentary series I'm going to be presenting here on ROTR on a regular basis. I intend to prove to you that Thompson is the only hope for the United States. My first piece is about Tancredo's endorsement of Romney, which was absolutely idiotic. Hot Air has Tancredo's speech, while Steve King is replying on behalf of the Thompson campaign. Here's a transcript of this piece:

Hi. This is Justin from Right on the Right.

This is a new audio series entitled Justin on Fred, where I'm going to make the case that Fred Thompson can be, should be, and needs to be the next President of the United States.

Congressman Tom Tancredo, one of the most prominent defenders of American sovereignty, dropped out of the Presidential race today, and endorsed Mitt Romney. His colleague, Steve King, another anti-illegal stalwart in Congress, has already endorsed Fred Thompson, and responded to the Tancredo endorsement on behalf of the Thompson campaign. King was a gentleman, saying that Tanc ran a good race, yadda yadda yadda. I love King, but the Thompson campaign needs to come out with fighting words. Mitt allowed Boston to stay a sanctuary city and receive state funding, Giuliani was the mayor OF a sanctuary city, John McCain literally writes the bills on amnesty, and Mike Huckabee is so far off-base on immigration that he said the struggle to maintain our borders was rooted in racism. Talk about non-Conservatism.

Fred has the moral high ground on the issue, and he DESERVED the Tancredo endorsement. Tom, I know you want to beat Huck, but you're abandoning your principles. You made the wrong call. Fred Thompson will secure the borders, beat the terrorists, and punch the hippies. Alright, the Conservative blogosphere added the last part. But to my readers, and other bloggers, I present to you, for your consideration, the true Conservative of 2008, Fred Dalton Thompson.

On a closing note, to the great blogger Ace, I think you're naive in picking Mitt and abandoning Thompson this early in the race. Fredmentum is building, and big name bloggers will help. Help power the machine that can and will win Iowa.

TRANSCRIPT: Hi. This is Justin from Right on the Right and this is another edition of Justin on Fred.

One of the constant complaints I hear from Conservatives about Fred Thompson is that he isn't running a "fire in the belly" campaign, and that he doesn't have the support necessary to win the nomination. I'm here to tell them that they're wrong. Fred Thompson's blitz in Iowa this past week has been impressive, so impressive in fact that even the USA Today took notice. Patrick Ruffini, a Giuliani man, wrote a post on Townhall marveling at his schedule. He wants to win it, and he plans on telling voters that face-to-face.

Meanwhile, on the support front, Fred Thompson's campaign exceeded contribution goals several times in the past couple weeks, emphasizing his "hands down" win in the debate hosted by the Des Moines Register. Money is only one facit to his support however. Fred is dominating the new media. Jay from Stop the ACLU has compiled a partial list of blog endorsements of FDT. John Hawkins of RightWing News, the founder and a leading contributor to RedState.com, Eugene Volokh, Bill Quick of Daily Pundit, Beldar from Beldar's Blog, Rick Moran of Right Wing Nuthouse, Frank J. of IMAO, and myself, just to name a few. The Conservative support for Thompson online is overwhelming, and as Fred hits the ground, he's sure to surge.

You can donate to Fred's campaign. You can call on behalf of Fred. You can do a lot of things that'll help the Fredmentum build, and help the Conservative movement bring forth a real champion of our principles, as opposed to the open borders zealot John McCain, the big government populist Mike Huckabee, and the gun-rights opposing Mitt Romney. The support is out there, so don't doubt Fred on that basis. Support the movement, support his record, support Fred Thompson.

First off, here's the partial list Jay compiled of bloggers supporting Thompson. His support is huge in the blogosphere. Ruffini's post is online here and the USA Today article is also on the net. While I'm at it, I'd like to point to a big endorsement Fred received, Tom Tancredo's former Iowa chair. That video is on Fred's site. I have to ask, if Tancredo's man isn't willing to follow Tom to support Romney, should Tom's endorsement really be looked at? Iowa may be Thompson's Waterloo, but I think he's on the opposite side of Napoleon.

TRANSCRIPT: Hi. This is Justin from Right on the Right. Can you say Fredmentum?

Fred's bringing back the red pick-up truck. Fred's launching an ad across the state of Iowa that paints him as the one true Conservative. Fred's meeting with the folks, on the ground, and spreading the message of low taxes, strong foreign policy, and strong borders to the people of Iowa. No wonder the Conservative blogosphere loves him!

Today, hundreds of Conservative blogs, some big, some small, are working together to raise money for Fred, and to help him in his 11th hour push to surprise the world in Iowa. The pundits think John McCain is surging, the strategists are still talking about the Huckaboom, but in the blogosphere, it's all about Fredmentum. In today's post, I'm compiling a list of blogs and posts that support Fred. I'm also going to ask my readers to do two things. One, donate to Fred if you're financially able. He needs about a quarter of a million dollars to cover Iowa with his latest ad. You can help. Two, call for Fred in Iowa. Actual voices talking to actual people mean the world. It's not too late for Conservatism to win this election. It's Fred time.

So, on to the blogburst. Hundreds of blogs are weighing in. Here are some perspectives:

Wake Up America is talking about another big Iowa newspaper endorsement Thompson received. Momentum on the ground? Spree also gives an opinion of Rick Moran's post.

Mr. Skulduggery calls Fred the gift that keeps on giving. Christmas surprise maybe?

You know why I think Fred absolutely can't lose? He has the pirate endorsement. Can Rudy Giuliani or Mike Huckabee say they have that? I think not.

Fred's new ad, in addition to being the objective in Iowa, is getting A LOT of play on the internet. bRight and Early sure found the ad worthy of play. Then again, so did I.

An Ol' Broad is rambling about Fred, and how that even though no candidate can have her 100% support, Fred is closest with about 90%. That's about as close to an endorsement as you can get in this race.

Stay tuned for more updates on the blogburst...
