Was this supposed to be cute? Let me not apologize for reminding everyone about Thompson’s record on the First Amendment free speech clause. He voted to regulate speech via Campaign Finance Reform. Really, it doesn’t matter what else you think. If you haven’t got the right to argue your case before the public then representative government is dead.

Your reminder is selective. I'll remind you that all the candidates have voted for Campaign Finance Reform.

No, some only voted for the second one which only made sure everyone played by the same dreadful rules. They were AGAINST CFR, but once passed, it had to be implemented fairly.

What Thompson did was argue for it from the start. He was very instrumental in getting it passed, right up there with McCain. In fact, Thompson is pretty much McCain without the temper. That beats Romney, but it sure doesn't make him a saint.
