Thompson is McCain-lite. Hunter has more conservative credentials.
Give me a break. Hunter voted in favor of Medicare Part D & No Child Left Behind. He doesn't know what the proper role of the federal government is.
I like Hunter but I want the fiscal conservative equation addressed too. The federal government is out of control with all these departments and agencies. What has Hunter done to limit them? When has Hunter address SS/Medicare/Medicaid?
Thompson has always believed that states & local governments know what's best. On domestic issues, Thompson is the Ron Paul of the Senate, often casting the lone dissenting vote.
