		<description><![CDATA[Why aren&#039;t more libertarians enthusiastic about Fred Thompson?

It&#039;s my understanding, that Thompson was backed by the Republican Liberty Caucus in his first race in the early 1990s.  

His scores on the RLC Indexes were always very high.  

I could support Giuliani.  But Thompson is more libertarian and trustworthy.

Ron Paul just seems too fringe to the typical Republican voters.  And as much as I enjoy him getting his message out, he&#039;s no match for Thompson, image wise or in electability.  

As a longtime libertarian, I&#039;m now in the Thompson camp.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[National Taxpayers Union is conservative, not libertarian.

Thompson is going to run on as a &quot;guns and butter&quot; candidate. The best I can ascertain, Thompson advocates simultaneous wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria, and tentatively, Mexico, given the rhetoric.

How does all these wars jive with a fundamental reform of our tax code...in short, it doesn&#039;t compute.

Thompson==Fraud

But you know, Thompson played a Chief of Staff, a General, a prosecutor, and a CIA director in Hollywood, so the conservatives worship at his one-dimensional acting shrine to deliver them a miracle. And Thompson is already re-cycling old movie lines, not even having the decency to acknowledge the lines are from his co-stars.

That bit about &quot;Al-Qaeda plans for the next 100 years while we plan for the next election&quot; is straight from &quot;In the Line of Fire.&quot; Except it was uttered by the John Malkovich character,  he uttered &quot;the Japanese plan for the next quarter century while we plan for the next fiscal quarter,&quot; playing an assassin trying to cozy up to party figure-heads so he could get a clean shot at the president at a fund raiser.

Fred, if i recall corectly, you played a cowardly suck-up politico dissed by Eastwood&#039;s bravery in the end for that movie. Don&#039;t remind us...]]></description>
