Fred Thompson: Huckabee Is No Conservative
Posted on December 18, 2007
Fred gets the quote of the day at Hot Air. Has Huckabee been unfairly characterized as a conservative? I think so. Huckabee, as Fred has so cleverly put, is a pro-life liberal.

Here is a full video of him on Face the Nation.
Also see my post on Fredmentum. Ace points to more at the American Spectator and says it looks to be the new narrative.
Honestly, having seen Thompson a few times before without being terribly impressed, I almost took off for a faraway Romney event before Thompson stopped by the diner. I’m glad I didn’t. Everything we’d been promised about Thompson, but had never come to pass in his early campaigning, media and debate appearances was on vivid display yesterday.
Thompson strode in and owned the room. He didn’t hold his own or get by unscathed, he owned it. This is a Thompson who, had he been released earlier would almost certainly be in a much better position to win the nomination than he is today: Charismatic, funny (“I think I’m going to have a cup of ethanol when I get homeâ€), on message and bristling with enough energy to make his in-tow younger wife look like the one struggling to keep up. “We’re going to enjoy ourselves, have some fun, and talk about things that are important to the future of this country,†he said.

Thanks for putting up the video, its a bit awkward to write a big positive post on it when you don’t have video to go with it.
That was a great interview, Jay. I especially enjoyed the “I’m not raising my hand again until Chief Justice John Roberts swears me in.”
It’s been a good day for Fred Thompson.
Thanks for posting the piece from AmSpec on your blog, Ace. I loved this:
“Thompson strode in and owned the room.”
Thompson is not conservative either. He is a corporate stooge. I guess there is no longer any real conservatives
Maybe you should run for office kerwin
I am much too socially conservative to be voted in.
I am also not concerned too much about economics which I tend to think will work themselves out as long as you pay the bills. Some investments are foolish but if you can afford them and don’t mind waiting money then go for it.
They “conserve” nothing but their own
self-interests. They never saw a tree they didn’t want to chop down.
