Associated Press released the DNC attack piece on Fred Thompson as some original work of art, only days after DNC newsletters set the stage for the assault.
Now NewsMax (Rudy central) is pretending like there is something news worthy in here somewhere!
How sad! and how typical of today's RINO community!
The more I hear about Fred, the more I want to vote for him!
RUN FRED - save the GOP!
Bring back some principles!

Campaign reform advocate finds himself in hot water
More competition in banking is fine with me! I don’t want the GOVERNMENT regulating it.
Since when did the “industry collapse”?
Nuclear energy is the WAY TO GO! While Fred didn’t “manage” it he is for it as I am. Odd how even France uses nuclear power ... even the STUPID French see the value of NUCLEAR POWER as the wave of the FUTURE.
“Lobbying clients paid him about half a million dollars between 1975 and 1993, when he started his campaign for the Senate. He released 20 years worth of tax returns during the race.”
Yes, he is honest - what a handicap! Never saw Clinton’s tax returns ... he “lobbies” for issues I AGREE WITH!
“One of his clients at the time was the Tennessee Savings and Loan League, on whose behalf Thompson lobbied for a bill to deregulate the industry. Experts say the final version of that bill played a large role in the savings-and-loan crisis of the late 1980s, opening the door to widespread fraud and mismanagement.”
SOUR GRAPES looking to BLAME someone else for their OWN MISMANAGEMENT! Fred wasn’t IN THE BANDS “mismanaging” and promoting “fraud” - this was done by folks RUNNING THE BANK!
On and on and on it goes. Twisted lies to blame Fred for the mistakes of others. All a politician can do is LOBBY for the RIGHT DIRECTION!
What’s with NewsMax? Are they on Hillary’s campaign payroll?
This is a disgraceful smear campaign against Fred.
REAL conservatives LIKE candidates who have a track record of helping to keep capitalism alive and are looking for alternative sources of energy.
RUN Fred!
OMG, an EVIL lobbyist! But Fred’s not quite evil enough: he’s semi-evil, quasi-evil, the margarine of evil; he’s the Diet Coke of evil - just one calorie, not evil enough!
IMHO, Fred’s critics just need to zip it!
$1 million over 20+ years lobbying isn’t exactly a fortune. Sounds like just an income supplement to me.
If this is the worst that the Rudy or Romney people can come up with, then they might as well leave the race right now - and pursue a lobbying career.
I wonder what some digging would uncover about the other candidates?
I guess $1 million sounds more excessive than $50k a year.
John Edwards must have made all his money building wheelchair ramps for the poor.
Is NewsMax really in the Rudy corner? [I really don’t know. NewsMax always put out such garbage, I quit reading it a good while back.]
So?
Fred Thompson is the right man at the right time for the right reasons.
Affiliated with the Council on the Foreign Relations and lobbying, to boot ping!
My source tells me that some of these trolls have been hiding among the conservative membership since before the 2004 election like snakes under a rock waiting to strike when given the order.
The main idea is to cast doubts about conservative candidates and cause havoc among conservative members.
Newsmax is pulling for Rooty??? Wonder why?
