Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Not sure, but I remember him being a social conservative and no-nonsense guy.
The ACU knows where Thompson stands, and therefore I do too:
His lifetime Congressional ACU rating of 86 puts him just 6 points behind the likes of Duncan Hunter.
Most of his lost standing is due to missed votes, but when he votes bad, he votes VERY bad, as in his votes FOR McCain-Feingold and AGAINST even rudimentary tort reform.
Being a lawyer first last and always, he'd never do anything to upset that little applecart.
He's no conservative hero, but I could vote for him: something I could never do for Romney nor for Rudy.
Read all about him right here. Go Fred.
