Yeah, campaign spin. I’ve seen it... and heard it. Simply increases the untrustworthy spin factor.
BTW, I forgot to mention Thompson and I'd be confident McCain voting along with so many others for Title X funding of Planned Parenthood, something of the kind that would go on my list of reasons for armed revolt, if feasible.
But, I won't slam Thompson for it and I don't have any bug up my... nose against Thompson supporters. Good man on our side.
Funny thing is, I feel the same way about Mike Huckabee.
