Thompson was a prominent McCain supporter in 2000, and it’s likely he would back the Arizona senator if he dropped out of the race. But Rollins and Huckabee have repeatedly slammed Thompson since a debate in South Carolina, when the former senator tore into Huckabee, accusing him of “liberal” policies on foreign affairs and economics. In turn, Rollins called Thompson “a successful lobbyist and so-so actor” who was “never a Reaganite,” noting Thompson had backed Reagan’s GOP opponents in primaries in 1976 and 1980.

He would not same scenario different year, these people putting thier captions on Fred Bashing McCain, forget the history of what has allready set precedent.
LOL

Maybe, but recall McCain’s betrayal of the conservatives are all POST 2000 -— and also recall that Thompson became notably more conservative as time went on.

Two friends on opposite paths, so to speak.

The Thompson of today endorsing the McCain of today? Possible, but doubtful.

Well Fred certainly wasn't a McCain supporter THIS year. He's been out of the race for several weeks, and he hasn't endorsed anyone yet. I don't think he's likely to do so.

Fred will not endorse McCain. McCain was a conservative back then, and is now 180 degrees opposite of everything Fred stands for. Even Mary Matalin bitch-slapped McCain.

As for Huck and Fred, Huck is just mad that his mouth piece Chuck Norris wears Fred pajamas.
