Highlights of Fred Thompson’s speech at the Republican National Convention Sept. 2, 2008.
Now our opponents tell you not to worry about their tax increases.
They tell you they are not going to tax your family.
No, they’re just going to tax “businesses”! So unless you buy something from a “business”, like groceries or clothes or gasoline … or unless you get a paycheck from a big or a small “business”, don’t worry … it’s not going to affect you.
They say they are not going to take any water out of your side of the bucket, just the “other” side of the bucket! That’s their idea of tax reform.
My friends, we need a leader who stands on principle.
We need a President, and Vice President, who will take the federal bureaucracy by the scruff of the neck and give it a good shaking.
And we need a President who doesn’t think that the protection of the unborn or a newly born baby is above his pay grade.
The man who will be that President is John McCain.

Fred always knows how to say just the right things.
Do we need a government that will spend $10 billion a month in Iraq without a tax revenue base that will support that kind of expenditure?
Can’t have it both ways, guys.
