Yes, he did. He watered McPain's version down, to make it palatable. He saw corruption, and did something about it. Lead, follow, or get out of the way.

FRed's that kinda' guy.

BTW, who's camp are you in?

:O)

Good evening to you sir! I see pissant’s a Hunter supporter, I was wondering if Hunter has said whether he would fly co-pilot or not.

Romeny does handle himself pretty well most of the time. But he strikes many as a phony for coming to many conservative positions in the last 2 years, after deciding to run. He may have had a change of heart, but he’ll have to demonstrate it.

And just for the record, Hunter is superior to Romeny on most issues, and can articulate them well. Mitt’s got a real shot though. Lotsa folks like him.

If Romeny and Hunter and Thompson end up battling it out for the top spot, my faith in GOP voters will be restored.

LMAO!!! :) Mitt’s not pro-life I don’t believe, and he’s anti-gun, so I’m definately not a fan of Mitt.

>> Thanks, I had no idea he helped write the campaign finance bill. You are right, I think he is McCain-light. <<

The FredHeads lost all credibility with me when they denounce Lindsey Graham as a treasonous RINO because he's McCain's good buddy, weak on illegals, and pro-CFR, but when Fred supported ALL those things, they think it's just fine and dandy and he should be leader of the free world.

If you bring up those facts around them, they're just resort to straw-men arguments and scream that Graham is "light in the loafers" and rant the Gang of 14 thing and Torture Bill (knowing quite well the reason why Fred can't be tied to those things is he was RETIRED from the Senate by the time they came up, and took no position)

The fact is Fred Thompson's "record" is exactly like Graham's, except Graham's overall record is slightly to the right of Fred (Graham has a 91% lifetime conservative rating from the ACU, Fred's is 84% I believe). Both FT & LG are a tad more conservative than their ally John McCain.

For months they've used the excuse that it's bad when Graham votes that way because he's from a "red state" and therefore is NOT ALLOWED to go wobbly, but then red state Fred comes along and their excuse is "pay NO attention to how he voted! Pay attention to what he says now!"

Now hold on, isn't that the very thing they told us was unacceptable about Romney? His 1994 positions vs. what he says now? Whether the FredHeads want to admit it or not, the truth is they care more about how a candidate looks and sounds on TV than their actual "record" in office. Graham & McCain sound wimpy & effeminate on TV, but their hero Fred Thompson sounds all tough and manly, so he gets a pass cuz they think he can "win" nationally.

Backing Fred for leader of the free world while saying Graham should be run out of Washington on a rail is sheer hypocrisy on their part. While Fred would be an acceptable choice in the general election, it's total BS that Fred is a true conservative stalwart next to McCain & Romney. IF Fred enters the race, there's no reason to believe he'd be any "better". Hunter, Tancredo, and that OTHER Thompson, Tommy, continue to be better choices for conservatives.

I can't think of an issue that Romney is superior to Hunter or FRed on, except maybe his hair.

You are pretty intolerant, typical for a hatemonger that demonizes Free Trade. Oh my gosh, I’m a bot, you’re an intolerant hatemonger who hates on everybody with the words RINO, bot, or neocon. I am not a bot, you are you Michael Savage commie. Michael Savage and his minions are like a cult, one drink of that Savage koolaid and you are a minion. I’ve reached a boiling point with the extreme Alex Jones/Michael Savage commies. Joe Lieberman is right when he says Democrats have now become like REPUBLICANS when they kick him out of their party for taking a different stand.

If he had run to strongly conservative in Mass, he would have never been the Governor. He did what he could as a conservative in that state. I read his record and it is superb. He got a lot accompolished, and considering he had an 85% opposition in both houses, it is extremely impressive.

Yes, the man is talented. But that is Rudy’s excuse as well. Blue city. That’s why we don’t elect NE republicans anymore to national office. Too much liberal baggage.
