[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

First one on the list could be called McCain-Feingold-Thompson.

I actually found one reference that said that from contemporary news articles.

But you have to admit, Thompson’s name isn’t on all those other bills. Mark Levin did an excellent job laying out the cumulative assault on conservatives that changed McCain from a solid 2nd choice in 2000, to the anathema that he has become today for many conservatives.

Correct...Fred was just as hot to trot on CFR as the other 2.

And then he was one of the four in Congress to back McCain for President!

A good amount of cognitive dissonance going around these days.

I heard Thompson address McCain-Feingold yesterday on the radio. He said the bill was an attempt to reign in soft money that Clinton was spreading around back then perhaps illegally but definitely through loopholes. Clinton was gaming the system. Thompson said he backed the bill to address this corruption. He also said he was WRONG. Way better than any position McCain has taken on the bill.

And the gang of 14 could be called "gang of 15". Thompson played go-between to give the group legitimacy.
