Fred Thompson’s “Cheeseburgers and Skoal for All” health care plan!

August 24, 2007 By Charley on the MTA

… Well, it’s as good a guess as any. I’m just trying to fill a gaping void in our civic conversation:

Likely GOP voters were asked how familiar they were the healthcare plans of all their candidates, “even including non-candidate Fred Thompson.”

“The results? In Nevada 29% said they were familiar with Thompson’s healthcare plan. In New Hampshire it was 15%, in Iowa 18%, in Florida it was 22% and in South Carolina had 24% with some idea about his plan.”

The problem? Thompson hasn’t even discussed a healthcare plan yet.

Well, maybe that’s why they’re familiar with it. “Hell yeah, I’m familiar! That Thompson fella ain’t got one!” Didn’t think of that, huh smart guy?

Please share widely!

    these are the folks who voted for a second term of G W Bush. (People who don’t pay much attention “to the details”)

    If I truly love my children, should I move my family to Canada?  Or to France?  What the heck is going on in the U.S. of A.!!!????

    FYI, until Romney’s announcement this week, not one GOP candidate had a healthcare plan. Not one. When I checked their websites earlier this year, only Romney addressed it at all, and all he said was “market reforms” with no detail of what that meant.
