Right On The Right

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.
