“You never have to wonder where he stands on things.
His position on the first amendment is pretty clear “
Occupied,
You are correct that he definitely screwed up in supporting the McCain/Feingold anti first amendment bill. He has been questioned about this, admitted that he was wrong in his support of this and apologized for this. Really it is the only black mark on his record.
Let me tell you about another republican candidate. This particular candidate was a governor of a large state who passed gun control legisation and actually raised some taxes. The candidates name was Ronald Reagan. No one is perfect. The point is to try to find a candidate who comes closest to the conservative principles that guide most of us. I think out of the top tier of candidates that would be Fred Thompson.
If I had my ideal choice of the candidates that are running it would be either Duncan Hunter or Alan Keyes. However, Duncan Hunter is polling at about 1% and Dr. Keyes has never even held an elected office (I do not believe). I’m sure if these two were scrutinized more I would find some things I don’t like about them also.
Except me and thee and sometimes I wonder about thee.
Agreed that you can't get what you want in a candidate, but have to take the best mix of what's available. I'm sure it isn't Rooty or McCain or Romney, but not sure it is Thompsen.
lol. Why? Cuz Marvin the Martian ain't runnin?
