Fred Thompson: Booo Teachers!

Yay Fundamentalist Christians! On the way to work this morning I was listening to the radio (NPR) say that Fred Thompson is down in South Carolina trying to pry the evangelical votes away from Huckabee. The way he is doing this is to say that he had won the National Right to Life endorsenment and Huckabee only had the endorsement of the NEA.

Republican politics in this campaign are laughable. Thompson, the guy who got 1% in NH, the guy who was billed as the Neo-Reagan poster boy, came into this election thinking he would be the saviour of the Republican party. Best part is that he is no worse than the top tier candidates, but doesn't stand a chance. As I recently read on the Daily Kos frontpage, the front runners are a guy who doesn't believe in science, a guy who is OK with staying in Iraq for 100 years and a plutocrat attempting to purchase the presidency.
