The media has brewed up a ridiculous Fred Thompson scandal that no one will remember in a day or two. I think the left wing is scared of the guy, so they are throwing a bunch of shit at him, waiting for something to stick. This time he was filmed responding yes to the question, "If the FairTax bill passes the house and senate, would you sign that legislation?" Well duh, the typical thing for a President to do after a bill has passed the House and Senate is to sign it. Unless he wants to veto it. So not a big surprise that he would sign it at that point. The controversy comes when he was asked a similar yet different question a few days later, basically was he really a Fairtax supporter? He, or his office, said no, so the media jumped on him as being a flip-flopper. But that's retarded. Asking if you support something is totally different than asking if you would sign a bill that has passed both parts of Congress. And the mainstream media wonders why their ratings/circulation are constantly falling? Maybe it's because Americans know that they don't get the truth, they get reality filtered through liberal media glasses.
