Can you please point me to some threads where Thompson is getting attacked from the right? I genuinely want to go to them and defend him.
I can but I won't. You don't seem to have any trouble finding your own fights.
I'll attack him from the right. He was a milquetoast senator who I'd rather not see in the WH. I think his previous views on abortion and McCain fiengold and illegal immigration are not conservative.
That said, he is still conservative on balance and I would not withhold a vote for him. Especially if he repudiates his former positions, ala Romney.
BTW, did he support the "assault" weapons ban?
