THE HIGH ROAD

Fred was professional as ever last night.


CNN's attempt at a professional debate fell flat - beginning with the hokey song that started things off. The YouTube format was an attempt to appease the younger generation. With over 5000 entries, the choices CNN made were ridiculous. It seemed they were more interested in shock and awe, then in true discussion on important issues.

Topping that were the intentional planting of Brig. Gen Kerr. We knew as soon as he stood to talk, that he was planted to stir things up, little did CNN realize that it would backfire as it has. Their insistence that they did not have any idea who he was - only to find out he was part of the Clinton G&L Steering Committee?? Pathetic.

Thankfully Fred escaped the dog and pony show that other candidates fell into. The childish bickering, personal attacks and finger pointing were unbecoming to these men who want to lead our country. The spinning was out of control, I am still confused of the stance of the front runners.

Fred answered with wisdom and authority any and all questions that were asked of him. He did not fall into the juvenile backyard bashing the other candidates did.

He is refreshingly real. Each time he talks, I feel like he is doing just that - talking! To us, not down to us. He is not phony or canned. He is professional and sure of himself. Much like Reagan, Fred's calm demeanor brings assurance that he believes what he says, which brings hope to those he serves that he will follow up on what he promises

Trust will always trump hype.

Fred is true to who he is. It is becoming more evident that he will pull out in front of the pack and win the nomination to surely defeat Hilary.

I was listening to Rush Limbaugh today... and although he will not "officially" endorse a candidate until after the prelims... here is what he said after the debate last night.

"There was one candidate who did not display any moderateness or liberalism or have any of his past forays into those areas displayed, and that candidate was Fred Thompson."
