Fred didn’t want to stay in the Senate to listen to McPain, but he recommends continued pain for the country and AZ. I am sure AZ voters are listening and will stick with the pain they have inflicted on the nation for so long.
No one wanted to remember that Fred was campaign co-chairman for John McCain, like so many other things that SHOULD have been considered. Some ties do matter. Some associations DO mean something.
“In the 2000 Republican presidential primaries, Thompson backed former Tennessee Gov. Lamar Alexander, who eventually succeeded Thompson in the Senate two years later. When Alexander dropped out, Thompson endorsed Senator John McCain’s bid and became his national co-chairman.”
