Republican and Conservative political analysis and commentary

Turk at Kung Fu Quip digs deeply into Fred Thompson's voting record and past statements on such issues as national security, public corruption, Social Security and campaign reforms, and concludes that Thompson "may well be the only real Republican in the top tier." He writes:

Thompson, if nothing else, connects with a sense of Federalism that runs deep in me. I still fundamentally believe that the political discourse in our nation must ultimately come down to the size and scope of the Fed. I do not believe the Fed has the power, or the instincts to address many of our most urgent issues. On that front, the more I read of Thompson’s past positions, the more I like.

Federalism is the foundation of Fred Thompson's approach to politics.
