Beware of Leftists Bearing Gifts of Advice
By Bruce Walker (06/27/07)

As it becomes increasing clear that Fred Thompson will enter the race for the Republican nomination and also that he will immediately be at least equal to Rudy Giuliani in that race and that, if he wins the nomination (which he surely will), that he would be the favorite to win the presidential race in November (with a highly energized Republican base and a Democrat base increasingly disenchanted by the amoral and power hungry leaders of their party), the Left will begin to chip away more and more at Thompson.

One of the favorite tactics of the Left, when its priests and priestesses want to interfere in Republican politics, is to tell us that a great candidate is %u201Cnot really conservative%u201D or that he does not say what he believes. These druids of the Left vaguely understand that sixty percent of the American people are conservative and that only about thirty-five percent are liberal. They also faintly grasp that any candidate who ran as a conservative against a Democrat who was an unabashed Leftist would win in a landslide (recall that Reagan in 1984 came very close to carrying every single state in the nation.)
