Dawn of the Fred
Despite the fact that he's a conservative (and he helped John McClain save the airport), there's things about Fred Thompson that would piss off the modern day, "you-better-follow-my-checklist-to-a-'T'" conservative. Things like his connections to John McCain, campaign-finance reform, and Clinton's impeachment (to name a few).
How long will the McCain-hating, Clinton-loathing, homophobic, anti-trial lawyer wing of the Republican Party ignore Thompson's "shortcomings?" Or are we in a some new age where as long as it's a Republican, it doesn't matter if they support things the base typically hates?
It's hard to take a political party seriously when they can't hold their own candidates (potential or not) to the standards they set for the American public.
