“At some point, politically sophisticated conservatives will have to recognize that no Republican can win in 2008 and that their only choice is to support the most conservative Democrat for the nomination. Call me crazy, but I think that person is Hillary Clinton.”

When did Thompson come out in favor of the “fair tax” aka national retail sales tax?

This boob also advocates a VAT on top of all our existing taxes in order to pay for socialized medicine.

Bruce Bartlett on the Value-Added Tax

After reading this article, the only possible conclusion is that Bartlett has suffered some sort of brain injury or he is seriously impaired by mind-altering chemicals. He makes the literally insane assertion that even if a VAT is added as a new tax, without replacing any existing tax, the total amount of taxes collected does not go up. You can't make that kind of thing up.

It seems he doesn’t like the idea of Candidate Fred Thompson’s National Sales Tax proposal

Fairtaxers need to quite repeating this lie.

An honest person would fix their mistake. Oh well.
