Did you support Bush in 04? Because he signed that McCain Feingold bill, and pushed the drug benefit. If Fred is more conservative than Bush on the border, I'm in. Fred would be so much better than the three RINO's who seem to think that one of them is the inevitable nominee.

Yes. I held my nose and voted for Bush in 00 and 04. Even did some campaigning for him in both general elections. I haven't written Fred Thompson off just because he supported CFR and restrictions on issue ads. I just mentioned it because conservatives may have an issue with that. Yes, I know Bush made the mistake of signing CFR, but I voted for him anyway. Similary, I don't know why I couldn't be convinced to vote for Thompson in the General Election.

Understood.

I just think that McCain gets a bad wrap for CFR. Yeah he wrote the law but a whole lot of Republicans voted for it.

And our president signed it.

They are all to blame. Not just McCain.
