Fred Thompson is Writing for Townhall

Fred Thompson, my first choice for the Republican presidential nominee, is now writing for Townhall.com. In his first article, he writes:

Our nation has some serious issues to work through for today … and for the next generation. Now isn’t the time for conservatives to be looking for a tailored message or a politically expedient route to victory if the end result is going to be the inevitable slide toward the liberalization and secularization of America, and the growth of government and loss of freedom that inevitably ensues. For us conservatives it must be about principles and policies that are grounded in freedom, free markets and the rule of law. That’s what I’ve been talking and writing about for the past few years, and that’s what I want to talk write about here on Townhall and in the new Townhall Magazine.

I have to wonder, with him having written the above, how he can support John McCain for president. With John’s faith in the CoGW, you can expect an expansion of government oversight if he is elected. I also wonder if the highlighted section above isn’t a shot at Johnny Mac himself.
