I could really care less about this. The GOP has to get over monicagate or we will lose. There are more important issues to discuss other than this to win with, really important issues. I think the fact that Hillary is either stupid or complicit is inmportant, but shouldn’t be a main foucs.

No one can ever accuse either men of being pro-clinton. So what’s the point??

I think how a candidate has responded to situations in the past is very relevant. It's not that it's about Clinton. It's that it's about Thompson and how he read the facts, responded to them, dealt with pressure, etc.

Thommpson is conservative-lite and that may be the best we can get at this point since everyone has squandered time, money and energy on strategy "look at us, we aren't really that conservative" type candidates rather than on true conservatives.

I still say Thompson is more or less McCain without the temper. He may be a little less conservative than McCain.

Exactly. This isn't going to sway me to vote for McCain-Feingold...er, I mean McCain.

The point is that the reasoning that gives Clinton a pass on the perjury charge is the same reason that keeps scumbags like Larry Craig in office, overly legalistic to the point of obsuring justice. In a sane society, these clowns would be run out of town on a rail. And because Fred Thompson is part of the apologists for it, you are too. You may even concur that it is brilliant to make that argument. Shame.
