Slime? If I were a guy I’d consider this report more like a triple scoop sundae with all the trimmings.
One of my late husbands was precisely this kind of woman magnet. If I left my seat anywhere, some woman was in it when I got back.
And not just women. People who hated everybody, loved him.
Seems to me this is a good thing, particularly when you’re single.

Why people are worked up at you doesn't make sense.

Fred will get the support of all his ex-girlfriends because he's a gentleman around women. Clinton treated women as HO's. With rape and violence, subterfuge, and sordid behavior. Rudy finally found the elusive thing. Just my observation if it matters to you ladies.

Still waiting for my answer Veronica?

How many times does a man have to commit adultery to be considered a serial adulterer? Rudy has three in the bag that we know of.

You mean to tell me...that Fred Thompson got laid while he was single?! THE TRAVESTY!!!!!!!!! THE HORROR!!!!!!!!!!! EEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you tell us if this will be the position of Richard Land and the religious right?

Personally I dont care much about this stuff, and I like both Fred and Rudy. But I think the pure Fredheads may be underestimating the potential for this to be an issue. Fred had a reputation as a notorious womanizer. It's impossible to write it off as an issue when you dont know the details.

Unforunately relaying that sentiment was neither the authors nor the posters intent.

You constantly nitpick. Even your “positive” threads are accompanied by a series of negative posts. You come up with some false conclusion and then post it ad nauseum.

Fred NEVER said he wouldn’t campaign hard. You are just a liar. He said he didn’t think that campaigning in the modern age required him to abandon his family.

Yet you have repeated your lie dozens of times, trying to convey the impression that Fred is a lazy old man.

You constantly whine about Fred’s problems when YOUR candidate has the same problems magnified.

You are disgusting.

The former Tennessee senator, who is considering his own run for the GOP nomination, was a swinging single.

As opposed to Rudy's catting around while he was married?

Let’s see. I’m a conservative Baptist voter.....

Pro-lifer who dated woman while single weighed against serial adulter who would pay to murder his own grandchild.

DUH!!

Why are 10 year-old articles about Rudy relevant, but not 2 week-old articles about Fred Thompson-who I hope DOES run.

Why do you hope Fred runs?

any attempt to sleaze the man over being a single guy dating a few women and having girlfriends will fail, sounds like he was faithful to his girlfriends at the time. The man has TWO small children now with his wife that he MARRIED and committed to. Those two little ones will blow out of the water any attempt to make this into a negative.

Most people really don’t care about Fred Thompson’s OR Rudy’s sex life.

Except that Fred was single at the time. Rudy wasn't.

Handsome, prestigious, eligible batchelor gets plenty of dates until he finds the right girl, settles down, and has a couple of kids.

Makes me want to vote for him even more!

Go, Fred, go!

I heard that questions about his dating life was the reason Bush went with Cheney over Thompson.

Sounds like he’ll get the Clinton second term voters all on his side!

That Fred dated between his marriages is nothing...but Margaret Carlson? At least George Washington never dated Helen Thomas during his bachelorhood.

but good grief, MARGARET CARLSON?

Wow, 37 posts on the thread before some astute freeper posted what was my exact first reaction.

MARGARET CARLSON??

LOL!
