Romney and Huck stayed in the race far far longer than Fred and won states, Thompson didn’t. Plus Thompson didn’t sign Norquist’s no-tax pledge. He was a hack, pure and simple

Romney and Huck are also liberals. Thompson wasn't.

Calling him a hack or whatever mindless insult will not change that fact.

Sounds like somebody's bitter because Thompson took support away from whatever candidate you supported.

Thing is, enough people were rooked into supporting two liberals in Huck and Romney, allowing McCain to slither into the nomination.

Thanks a bunch.
