What do you think I don't know?
Thompson's policies and votes have been quite close to John McCain's.
He's also pro state's choice on abortion (the Stephen A. Douglas approach).
Thompson is far more conservative than McCain.
During the eight years that Thompson and McCain served together, they cast votes on 102 CQ-defined key votes and agreed on 83 of them - or 81.4 percent of the time. They disagreed 18.6% of the time, that’s pretty high considering that both are Republicans and both are considered relatively conservative. Just as an example from one year, among the instances in which Thompson and McCain differed were votes in 2002 to effectively extend a repeal of the estate tax beyond 2010, to authorize oil drilling in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and to postpone tougher automobile fuel efficiency standards. Thompson voted “aye” and McCain voted “no” in all three cases.
Nice spin, unspun...
BS. You just exposed yourself as a hack.
Zero credibility score for you from here on out. You’ll have to change your moniker to get another chance but it won’t work because these issues have been vetted many times over here on FR. And the outcome is a big Barbara Streisand to hacks like you.
great spin................or at least a nice try!
