While I still would like to see Fred Thompson win I don't understand the hatred expessed here for McCain. He has been more hawkish on the War on Terror than either Huckabee or Romney. I believe this country would be safer with him in the White House than either one of them. Domestically, he is slightly more conservative than either of them. I would vote for McCain in a heartbeat over any of the Democrats or Huckabee or Romney.
I recently took one of those online tests to see which candidate is closest to my desires. It came up with Fred Thompson and John McCain having the same (highest) score for my choices.
Now, I feel very comfortable with Fred Thompson, but why did McCain rate the same? I am uncomfortable with John McCain.
I suspect that it is his claimed positions, rather than the positions he has taken over the past several years.
AND...it looks like Fred (my first choice, my second being Duncan Hunter) and Duncan are completely out of the race.
What’s a conservative to do?
