Fred Thompson in Iowa: Here are his views, face to face.

Fred finally defines himself and his positions.
"First the roll of the federal government is limited to the powers given to it in the constitution. Second, the Dollar belongs in the pocket of the person who earns it, unless the government has s compelling reason why it can use it better. Third, we don't spend money we don't have or borrow money that our children and grandchildren will have to pay back. And the best way to avoid war is to be Stronger than our enemies, but if we're caught in a fight we need to win it, because not doing so makes us much more likely to be attacked in the future. Also, the federal judiciary is supposed to decide cases, not set social policy and bad social policy at that. AND the bigger the government gets the less competent it gets at running our lives."
"I believe I am the only candidate in the race that can bring our party to victory in the fall. First because of the firmness of my principles and the trust that that engenders. Secondly, because of the detailed program I've put before the people. Third, because I've been tried and tested and I'm a known quantity in public life. But most of all I think I know how to talk to the American people about the opposition and the danger their victory would pose to the principles we hold dear."

Fred Thompson has said that he is not particularly interested in the presidency, but he thinks he is the right man for the job. The reluctant hero? Surely he means to be.

After this speech, I like him.. Reminds me of Kennedy and Regan in talk at least.
