Fred Thompson I had infinitely more respect for than Lamar! Unfortunately, he made the horrendous mistake of allowing the 'Rats to control the agenda with regard to Chinagate when he ran Gov't Reform & Oversight. He realized too late exactly what was at stake, and it was one of the reasons he opted to exit the Senate when he did. Just like Dorothy, he saw behind the curtain.

I remember when CNN did a puff piece on one of America's greatest traitors, John Glenn, they went to Thompson to get some feel-good soundbite on his Senate & Committee colleague. Thompson told them they couldn't play on air what he thought about Glenn.

It's sad about Fred. He was literally the best man for the job in the senate to bring down Bill Clinton. Fred had the skills and the track record to do it. Something bad happened between "Let the chips fall where they may" and "Don't mention any names". I imagine he was bitter about Glenn but the biggest favor he could do the GOP and this nation at this point is expose who owns them now. Like you mentioned who is the man or men behind that curtain that has an absolute hold on the GOP and I don't mean elected leaders I mean the ones controlling them? It may well be the very same names who control the DEMs by power and money.
