I am not supporting Fred as my first choice either and have found the “Fredheads” to be somewhat obnoxious as well. However, I do think he is conservative on most issues. I just don’t think he can win a general election.
Thompson talks a good game but his senate record wasn’t all that stellar. Many politicians run as conservatives but tend to cave to pressure from liberals and the media way too easy. I think Thompson is one of those politicians. I also think all the rest of the front runners are that type, also. They know the right words to say but lack the courage of their convictions in regard to conservatism.
