Maybe, I haven’t been paying to much attention but I feel its rare to have actual quotes from Fred Thompson in news articles. As of late it seems all the articles are downplaying his candidacy rather than focusing in on his core beliefs.

From the AP:

LAGUNA WOODS, Calif. (AP) – Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson said Saturday that election of a Democrat to the White House in 2008 would open the way for a welfare state where bigger government, higher taxes and defense cutbacks sap the country’s economic and military strength.

“Our country is at a crossroads,” Thompson told several hundred people at a rally at a community clubhouse.

“We know that the most liberal element of the Democratic Party has taken control of the Democratic Party, and if they win this next election we’re going to go down the road of a welfare state,” he said.

After warning of a government that gets “bigger and bigger,” he said “I don’t think the American people are going to turn the keys to this country over to the most left-wing part of a left-wing party next year.”

“We’ve got to make sure that doesn’t happen,” he said.
