Most of the GOP guys seem pretty liberal to me. People SAY Fred Thompson is a conservative but wasn't he a trail lawyer (like Edwards) and a lobbiest ? How can you trust a man like that?

If you are looking for a real conservative try Huckabee.

Yes, Fred Thompson was a lobbyist for 17 years and he had a pro choice view on abortion. Many derogatory remarks were made about his poor work habits and lack luster performance during his 8 years in the Senate. These remarks have more credibility to me since he had no plans whatsoever to run for the Presidency at that time.
The most conservative guy is Mike Huckabee, but he's way down in the 2nd tier. I like him even though I am a tied dye liberal because he has integrity, and his answer on the evolution question made a lot of sense. He was a good governor and as long as everyone is bringing religion into politics, why not elect a minister? Chuck Hagel is also an honest man and a real conservative and he's anti-Iraq-war, but sadly he's not running. Mind you I'd never vote for these guys, but I wish we could have some honest men on the ballot for a change.

If you want someone truely conservative you can always let Bush cancel the next elections cause we cant have a change in leadership in the middle of a global war and crisis. That would be irresponsible now wouldn't it?

Fred Thompson was pro-choice before switching stances to pacify his party....sound familiar(Guliani, Romney)

I find that trial lawyers, such as me, are quite trustworthy.
You are welcome to vote for the conservative of your choice.
