RE: Fool me thrice

Steve opines: "Thompson is probably the only candidate running, aside from Ron Paul, who even understands what federalism is. That being said, I too am wary of Thompson's "conservative" credentials, especially now that Bush's lemming gallery among the punditry have latched on to him en masse. I don't watch Faux News any more, but if they decide to convert from their all Giuliani, all the time format to back Thompson, he will really begin to worry me."

Most of the beltway pundits are still in love with John McCain. They were calling him and Lindsey Graham (a.k.a. John McCain, Jr.) "heroes" for standing up for immigration reform. From what I hear, these same pundits think Fred Thompson is lazy... And they are probably jealous because he has a much younger attractive wife. Thompson comes across as someone who doesn't give a rat's rear end what the beltway pundits think, so they are probably upset over that.
