Yes, he has. The anti-Fredsters aren't going to sink him with their silly "he's not as conservative as Lindsey Graham" bunk.
Sturm Ruger, I believe this is the post that has finally made me a Fred fan...will have to think about it a little more, but I've been looking, and really, there is no one else.

Almost fully Frederalized, eh? Then pulling the all-nighter to transcribe the interview was worth it!
I think I’m going to try to catch a few z’s now, LOL...
Fred would be a fine candidate. But lumpimg Duncan Hunter in as a “no one else” is folly.
Fred Thompson is not as conservative as Lindsey Graham. "True conservative" FDT has a lifetime conservative rating of 84%, "RINO traitor" LG has a lifetime conservative rating of 91%. You may not like that fact because it goes against your agenda on this forum, but facts are facts.
You guys can continue to whine about "Torture bill" and "Gang of 14" (which turned out to be not that bad, though I guess you guys are still frantic about it) all you want. The only reason why Fred isn't "tainted" by those is NOT because he ever came out against it, but because he was retired from the Senate by the time it came up.
Fred Thompson is just as much of a McCain supporter (as he retaliates in the interview) as Lindsey Graham, he was instrumental in passing CFR, and like all Washington politicians he insists he's "against amnesty" but his voting record shows he voted for it, and he claims enforcing the laws on the books and actually DEPORTING the illegal already here is not a "realistic option". Whether you want to admit it or not, everything you condemn Graham for, you're willing to give Fred a pass on because he sounds manly and tough instead of "light in the loafers"
A guy with a 91% conservative record is unfit to serve in the Senate but a guy with an 84% conservative record should be leader of the free world. Right.
Sheer hypocrisy.
