It escapes me why any soul could possibly be surprised by this. Thompson and McCain were joined at the hip in the Senate, and Fred carried the water for McCain-Feingold more than any other single individual. Both Feingold and McCain’s chief of staff publicly credited Thompson with being the prime mover of the bill through the Congress.

All true, but the denial runs real deep around here.

Fred Thompson also help get Roberts on the SC.

Fred Thompson has every right to endorse anyone he pleases for POTUS. Thompson and McCain have been friends for years and that was never a secret.

***Because the Fredheads had FDS, Fred Derangement Syndrome, where anything bad you could point out about him was simply not true, no way, na-na-na-na-na and you’d get shouted down. They drank the kool aid.

Also FDT opposed Reagan (as did Goldwater) in 1976. And he opposed him in 1980 too until Reagan had the nomination cornered.

You ain't the only one who can't figure out why this surprises anyone. Denial and blinders, I guess.
