I'd like you to elaborate on exactly what kind of damage Fred Thompson will need to "undo".
Let's start with "Big Government Conservatism" and continue along with a GOP with a moral standing equivalent to the "distinguished gentleman" from the other party and then move to the fact that our "permanent majority" is looking at less permanent and a lot more like a minority and perhaps finish with a removal of the "Good Job Brownie" cronyism and get back to the party of compentent, lean government. Oh yeah, and lastly perhaps repeal that tax hike on Americans abroad that W. and GOP controlled Congress thought was such a good idea the SOBs.
Did you miss these things Rip van Winkel?
