Fred pointed out yet again on Fox this morning that Huckabee has yet to address any of the issues he raised in Thursday’s debate instead resorting to accusations. He firmly put to rest the “Stalking Horse” theory pointing out the truth about John McCain when it comes to the principles of the Reagan Coalition.
Here’s more on McCain not living up to the Reagan vision from a Glen Beck appearance today:
How do you explain with conservatives going out to vote, how are they supporting John McCain? What is this — where is this coming from?
SENATOR THOMPSON: I think the basis of it is national security, national defense. John was right, I think, with regard to Iraq and he stood tough during tough times and I think he turned out to be right. And I was the same place the whole time and have been. We agree on that. But John is wrong on some other important things and he was wrong when he voted against the Bush tax cuts.
GLENN: But wait a minute. I mean –
SENATOR THOMPSON: He says he’s changed his mind about that now and, you know, sobeit. But, you know, I was there during part of that time and I voted the other way. I believed the other way then, I believe the other way now. He’s certainly wrong with regard to the immigration bill that they tried to get the American people sign off on last year and they gave a resounding no and now everybody’s getting tough on the border. But on taxes and immigration, especially, you know, I think he’s wrong. But so is Huckabee as far as that’s concerned.
GLENN: But he’s also wrong with McCain/Lieberman where he wants to sign treaties for global warming. He wants to give away sovereignty on global warming. This guy is not a conservative.
SENATOR THOMPSON: No, I think he’s in the wrong direction on that, too. I think that that’s absolutely true. But, you know, he’s like everybody else.
The truth is slowly being revealed about the other candidates running for the Republican nomination when it comes to THE test. That test is true conservative principles, the principles of the Reagan coalition. Like Huckabee, McCain does NOT pass that test. To learn more about McCain I encourage you to visit this place.
