A liberal blogger has filed a federal complaint against former Sen. Fred Thompson, the actor and unannounced Republican candidate for president, accusing him of violating election laws as he ponders his entry into the race.
The blogger, Lane Hudson, submitted his complaint to the Federal Election Commission on Monday saying Thompson has raised far more money than he needs to explore whether to run for president.

Nice headline!
Lane Hudson, the blogger who staged the Mark Foley scandal last year while working for the pro-gay Human Rights Campaign...
I think your headline should read “Fred Thompson”.
Tommy just read the handwriting on the wall and took a hike.
Somebody is confused.
Apparently this guy wants to draw out his 15 minutes...
Tom, Dick, Harry.....or Fred? LOL
Can I fedex you an espresso?
Those AP copy editors must all be products of publik skule edjukashun.
I wonder how much hillary clinton’s listening tours raised? I bet it was a heck of a lot more than thompson.
(of course he does not see invisible people...)
Since the Commission is, by law, divided into three members who are Republicans, and three who are Democrats, (and all are party loyalists) it is unlikely that the Commission would take any action against Thompson. So even if this gets by staff, it won't get by the FEC itself. This "liberal blogger" is on a fool's errand.

Why would he attack Thompson? F.Thompson opposes the Federal Marraige Amendment.
Does anyone have the $$$ amount raise by hilary clinton during her “exploration”? (I wonder how many mailing lists or data files have moved from the senate campaign to the presidential campaign)
My name’s not Tommy
My name is Freddy
Tommy left you
Long, ago...
Well, in this country, you can sue anyone over anything. The libs are so paranoid that any possible ploy is acceptable, including lawsuits screaming “not fair” in regards to picking up a few bucks to test the water. My fondest hope is that more and more muck rises to the surface on Hitlary and her houseboy, and the rest of those hacks. I think a wake-up call to the masses would have to be so loud that everyone would go deaf, and we would have to continue all discourse in print and closed captioning. One thing liberals can’t handle is confrontation, and we need to take the gloves off and call these fools on all the stuff they try to pass off as fact. It’s time folks, and we need to speak out or lose the whole thing.
IMHO, one the worst enemies we face is the MSM. Not only will they not lay a hand on her, they'll carry her water and kiss her ass, all the while posing as neutral observers.
OK Headline fixed-I take it back now.
According to The Tennesseean, “the complaint names the Fred Thompson for President Exploratory Committee, which does not exist. Instead, Thompson formed a different kind of committee, called Friends of Fred Thompson Inc.”
