Look at what this guy is defending!
ABC News: Fred Thompson Defends His Lobbying Past:
"Thompson, who likes to cast himself as a political outsider, earned more than $1 million lobbying the federal government for more than 20 years. He lobbied for a savings-and-loan deregulation bill that helped hasten the industry's collapse and a failed nuclear energy project that cost taxpayers more than a billion dollars.
He also was a lobbyist for deposed Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, who was widely criticized for endorsing 'necklacing,' the gruesome practice of execution where gasoline-soaked tires are thrown over a person's neck and set ablaze."
