Happy New Year From Us to You

We wish all of you a very happy new year, with peace, health, love and prosperity.
An Old Fashioned “Talkin To”
That is what this message from Fred Thompson to those in Iowa reminded me of.
Not the stern kind of “talkin to” that we all got as kids when we misbehaved, but the kind that our parents and grandparents gave us when there were life lessons to be learned.
If I had to vote tomorrow for a GOP candidate for President, I suppose this little talk could sway my thinking. It’s the best I’ve personally heard so far, not filled with venom for another candidate but calm and laden with details of plans for the future.
I don’t know if Thompson has a chance in Iowa or anywhere else. I don’t know if he could win a national election if he were nominated. What I do know is that I would feel very comfortable inviting him to my home and sitting down to a conversation involving important issues of the day. In the political climate of today, to me that speaks volumes.
