Fred weighs in on "robo-dial bigotry" (Push-polls against Romney)

From the desk of Todd Harris, communications director to Fred Thompson:

"There is no room for this kind of smut in a Republican primary election. While there are certainly issues our campaigns disagree on, we are united by far more than that which divides us. One of our candidates is going to emerge from this process as the standard bearer for all Republicans, and we will need a united party to win next year. This kind of robo-dial bigotry which tears down Republicans today will only serve to prop up Democrats tomorrow. It has to end and end now."

Another example of character and leadership from Fred Thompson. Where are Rudy, John, Mike, Ron and Duncan on this? I hope they don't condone the ugly practice.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Ping!

I thought you might find this interesting - it’s like someone is reading my mind...

I will admit, I’m a Sentor Thompson backer. I was one of those who was ridiculed here for saying he should run when everyone thought he was comfortably retired from politics.

This is that attitude, tone, and agenda that the GOP needs. Whether it be Senator Thompson or another, we need a united front and a strong central platform.

Classy and insightful.

I would expect no less from FRed.

Fred Ping.

"(Graphics removed due to excessive whining and attacks."

) From who? Im4Fred and Be4Fred? LOL

[Politicalmom]

Could be. :p

[ImpBill]

I don't think pissant is still posting under that moniker. Seems he was just a bit too over the top. No loss as far as I am concerned. And I would bet Duncan Hunter wouldn't disagree, as he is a class act and a great conservative as well as FDT.

Fred really needs to close the gap with MittOmni!

Did ya’ll notice that the Thread in-which Pissant was zotted (TIPWZ) was removed in it’s entirety?

[Clara Lou]

FRed Thompson is a class act.

[Clara Lou]

I noticed. I couldn’t quite figure out why. Whatever.

[DesScorp]

Nicely said, Fred. Smut indeed.

Rudy may be exciting to some, but Fred leads.

[The Pack Knight]

Someone’s going to be awfully embarrassed when the source of this garbage is exposed.

[Bobbisox]

I feel the wind at our backs and Fred is leading the way to victory.

“(Graphics removed due to excessive whining and attacks.)”

Whine of nasty widdle gnats ping!

[sweet_diane]

Amen

And that is the tone I saw this morning when I met FDT and his wife and daugher. He looked great.. much better than any pictures or tv appearances I've seen. He is a very engaging speaker, yet I did watch for uh's and ah's and head bobs. There were none. A well delivered speech, without notes, that didn't sound like he was reciting it for the 100th time.

Had a nice visit with Jeri and Hayden (sp?). Talked mainly about kids and how they go and grow up on us too fast. lol

And the Ron Paul folks who chose to attend were, as far as I could see, very well behaved. (well, their signs were obnoxiously large)

“Someone’s going to be awfully embarrassed when the source of this garbage is exposed.”

I missed the garbage so don’t know what you all are talking about. What is the “robo-dial bigotry”??

I guess someone said they got a “robo” call attacking Romney’s faith.

I like the speed with which Thompson and his campaign responds when issues like this arise. Considering Mitt blamed McCain/Feingold, it was a hit at both McCain and at him, so his swift response makes his position clear on these tactics. But Mitt is a big boy and the last thing we need is for him to start playing the victim of faith discrimination while Hillary trying to get sympathy on the gender card. It’s wimpy. I hope for better from all of our GOP candidates so the electorate sees a clear difference.

You're right, Duncan Hunter would never accuse someone falsely behind their back as you just did.
