If that is true, why does the National Review and several other conservative experts, including Rush, say he is conservative. Has he got them all fooled? I doubt it. I think you are more likely to be wrong. I actually prefer Fred Thompson from what little I know about the candidates. At this point, I mainly know who I do not like, which are McCain and Huckabee. They are not conservative with tax policy.
