Armey and the Club in South Carolina
January 17th, 2008 by Peter SudermanFreedomWorks Chairman Dick Armey appeared at an even FreedomWorks cosponsored with our friends at the Club for Growth in South Carolina. The purpose was to warn conservatives in the state to be wary of the misguided fiscal policies being peddled by Republican primary candidate Mike Huckabee. The New York Times has the scoop (and a picture of Armey):
In addition, the Club for Growth, an antitax group based in Washington that has spent $780,000 so far in anti-Huckabee television spots in primary and caucus states, held a news conference in front of the State Capitol on Wednesday. In it, Dick Armey, the former Republican House majority leader, assailed Mr. Huckabee as a “misguided populist” and not a true conservative.

And that is why we all need to support and endorse Fred Thompson for President. Sen. Thompson is a social conservative, but he is also a limited government, economic, and defense conservative. Sen. Thompson is the Coalition conservative that conservatives are looking for.
