Fred Thompson Stepping Away From McCain-Feingold?

Potential GOP presidential contender Fred Thompson has the charisma and the credentials to run away with the 2008 GOP nomination if he enters the field, but he isn't without his flaws. One of the most glaring was his tacit support of the McCain-Feingold "campign finance reform" bill, which actually turned out to be one of the biggest assaults on free speech in decades and actually forced more shady political money underground rather than bringing it to the light. In an interview with John Fund from the Wall Street Journal, via Captain's Quarters, he appears to be stepping away from his support of that diastorus bill, instead favoring full disclosure of everything, very few limits on political contributions, and huge penalties for non-disclosure. Not only would this remove an issue that sticks in the craw of many conservatives, it would show him to be a man who is willing to change course when a solution, especially one he helped support, isn't fixing the problem for which it was formulated. Let's hope he's serious about getting away from McCain-Feingold.
