So I take it you’re saying that Fred Thompson isn’t a conservative? Please tell us why it is that you think so.
Is Fred better than the other 3? Yes. A whole lot. But his refusal to support a constitutional ammendment to protect marriage (and to also protect republican democrary and prevent rule by fiat on the part of judges) is a serious problem.
I see a lot criticizing Huckabee on immigration. Fred has an even more liberal policy, as do the others. Fred isn’t an articulate defender of conservatism, he’s a nice guy but it almost ends there. He’s not going to shape anyone’s ideology. Huckabee can.
