That same sight gives Bush a more conservative rating than Fred Thompson.

That's not encouraging.

But....he was on TV!

I don't think the site does a good job ranking answers to questions to put you on that chart. It doesn't take more than a couple odd votes to move you around quite a bit.

I always recommend looking at the actual votes and deciding for yourself what they mean. the ACU ratings are more accurate I believe, as well as the rankings of the various special interest organizations on the left and right.

Thompson wasn't well-ranked by ANY liberal organization, and had a respectable but not stellar rating by the ACU.

I wish Hunter could do something, anything, to distinguish himself as a leader or to fall on his face, so either he'd jump into the top tier or go away so we could try someone else in his place. Right now, I'd put Gilmore above him, and I'm pretty certain Gilmore is unelectable.

That site is completely useless.

I'm not quite sure how accurate that thing is. It's a fun test but by no means exhaustive.

Fred is more conservative than Bush on guns, immigration, and fiscal policy, probably similar on the WOT, and ever so slightly less so on social issues.

IOW considerably better than Rudy McRomney...
