Give me a break. This smells of desperation from a Romney supporter.
Fred Thompson is the Reagan Conservative in the race.
Honestly, there is no Reagan in the race, that’s the real problem. Any claims that Thompson is a liberal are coming from fringers holding on to the purist positions. Keyes supporter EV comes to mind, he’s said as much about Thompson in the past on threads. IMHO, its nuts whoever says it so just ignore it as twaddle. Thompson has had deviations and the only erroneous thought is to think we must have a candidate who is 100% conservative purist.
It wont happen. None in the race are.
This from an protectionist anti-free-trader, not any Romney supporter ... They make clear their choices later on ...
“And like all neocons, Thompson supports free trade, which is destroying our economy and undermining our sovereignty. ... Fred Thompson is no real conservative. He’s a neocon globalist. Only look at his past actions, memberships and words.
We already have three real conservatives in the running (Tom Tancredo, Ron Paul, and Duncan Hunter) and let’s give them the support they deserve. If Fred Thompson receives the nomination, I’m voting Constitution Party.”
Hey, I'm not saying I think Fred is a liberal.
I donated to him once or twice already, even though I don't think he can win.
I'm just saying that they ALL claim the other guy is too liberal, and that THEY themselves are the real conservative.
It's just politic stump speak, and they all do it from time to time.
