While Ann Coulter is jumping on the Mitt bandwagon, Alicia Colon, a columnist with the New York Sun published an article in support of Fred Thompson in the Jewish World Review. Via the American Thinker blog.
There probably has never been a clearer choice between the two major political parties. Democrats are pro-choice; for gay marriage; a repeal of the tax cuts; bigger government and want a withdrawal from Iraq. The Republican candidates other than Ron Paul on Iraq are adamantly opposed to all these positions. Yet according to Dick Morris, the Republican Party is fractured into three factions. The social conservatives are for Huckabee; the economic conservatives are for Romney and the national security crowd is for Giuliani. Oddly enough, Fred Thompson meets the criteria of all three blocs and sooner or later it's going to dawn on all these Republicans that they like Fred, too.
Ms Colon touches on a lot of the reasons why people like Fred, and why he gets ignored by the mass market media. Of course it could also be because when Fred answers a question, the media with their short attention spans, and eager pursuit of soundbites, just can't comprehend Fred's answers. Their brain cells damaged by too much indoctrination at Liberal U and programmed to have all of life's problems solved in the time it takes to watch a sitcom, simply can't handle mature, reasoned, and well thought out responses.
This may also account for the serious lack of coverage they give as evidenced by this report of media coverage from last week.
