WASHINGTON — Former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson on Sunday joined the crowded field of Republicans running for the White House in 2008 and proclaimed himself the “reliable conservative” in the race.

Thompson, who was health and human services secretary during President Bush’s first term, also said he is the only GOP candidate who has helped assemble both a state and federal budget.

If I had a dime for every time I heard a GOP candidate refer to themselves as a “conservative” I would be filthy rich.

I’m still waiting for the “reliable conservative” to show up (and yes, that means I don’t necessarily think all that highly of Ron Paul either). They all have a major chink in their armor which seriously undermines these claims.
