Fred Thompson voted for McCain-Feingold and is a lawyer. In addition, he supported McCain in 2000. Those Senators who supported McCain such as Hagel and Limpey Graham have proven untrustworthy.

Fred Thompson voted for McCain-Feingold and is a lawyer.

Fred has since voiced the opinion that CFR probably needs to be replaced with full disclosure. Unlike Rudy, who still like is.

He's explained why he voted for McCain-Feingold, and why it has not worked out like he expected that it would.

In addition, he supported McCain in 2000.

Well, the other front runner at the time was Bush, and Bush wasn't that well known, and didn't do the best of jobs in selling himself with his public speaking. I think that Bush turned out far better than McCain would have, but Bush still has his own flaws as well.

Those Senators who supported McCain such as Hagel and Limpey Graham have proven untrustworthy.

He has has his own voting record, and with the exception of McCain-Feingold, it is far more conservative and consistent than Hagel or Graham.

He has also shown more recently a willingness to speak out on tough issues, and an ability and willingness to take on the press.

This is an essential skill for a Republican presidential candidate in today's political environment. Bush has let the liberal press dictate their own view of the world and he seems unwilling to boldly contest it.

We need a President that is not only conservative, but one that can sell those conservative values to the people.
