***** It's far more arbitrary than that. It's currently for ex-abortion lobbyist, first amendment choking, FRed Thompson. Why? Because he has a conservative sounding voice. (i.e., he speaks "southron," a kind of redneck ebonics). ******

Aw come on. That abortion lobbyist thing is baloney - 20 billing hours, and decades ago to boot - whoopee. And so is the CFR slam. Fred has admitted that backing McIsane-Feingold was a mistake.

In any case that has nothing to do with why the Rudybots got zotted. And it certainly wasn't 'arbitrary'.

Not only did he vote for it, but he bragged about co-authoring it. Anyone who thought he was doing the right thing in ignoring the constitution and voting to limit free speech is not a conservative. But he does play a conservative on TV.
