I cant tell you yes or no. I can tell you that it is a mistake to assume that Mike Barnes is lying simply because he is a Democrat, favors gun control or [fill in liberal pipedream here]. He’s an honorable guy.

This is just indicative of just how scared the Dems and their LLL buddies are of Fred. They do not want him to run because they know there is no way the losers the Democrats have running can win against him. So they have gone into full fledged feces flinging monkey mode hoping something will stick.
They also assume that all us “knuckle draggin’, bible thumpin’, gun totin’, double wide dwellin’ christianazis” are as Pavlovian as they are. They figure they ring the “right bell” and everyone will run away from Fred like the plague. What the dwellers of the “reality-based community” do not understand is that there will be more people inclined to vote for Fred then run away from him. They know that there is no way Hillary would win against him and she is about as “palatable” to the general population as the Democratic candidates come.
Why would this happen? Because to the “average citizen” national security is greater then the 40+ year old Abortion debate. And I hate to say this to you but national security IS more important right now. It won’t matter if abortion is legal or not if we are all dead.
If Michael Barnes’ lips are moving he’s lying. End of story.
Remember what they did to Clarence Thomas? I’m thinking they’re trying to pull an Anita Hill on Fred...the he said, she said part with all sorts of recollections of things that may or may not have happened. Amazing the lengths people will go to just so they can kill babies.
Fred gets zeros from the pro abortion people - I’m happy with that.
I’ll take the word of John Sununu and Fred Thompson over some leftist moonbat any day.
Fred Thompson is not pro-abortion. He may have worked with a pro-abortion group as a lobbyist back in the day, lobbyists have many different clients. When he was a Senator, he voted straight pro-life, and he’s already said he wants Roe-v-Wade overturned. This is just another attempt, like the one just like this one, two days ago, to turn conservatives against Thompson because he seems to be beginning to pull in front of the other candidates.
How many times is this Thompson hit piece going to be posted ? This is as bad as that Romney dog carrier story. Posted about 5 times a day for several days .
Any Maryland Democrat is a Lying P.O.S......Also believe he’s a “Pipe smoker”.

Why would you be leaning toward thinking that he accepted the work? Is that an f150 or a 4 cyl Ranger? :p
Horse puckey. Run, FRed, run!!
He’s toast if true.
I smell bullshite here. Must be you.

“I would like to hear Fred’s version of this. If Fred’s got an answer he better give it soon. I’m sure lawyers sometimes have to represent people/issues they may disagree with on a personal level. I still trust Fred more than I trust Mitt. And I think it’s safe to say that the Drive-Bys fear Fred the most.”
(1) I would like to hear Sen. Thompson’s side also.
(2) It is purported they were hiring him as a lobbyist not an attorney. IF (big if) true that he took a job to lobby for the abortion industry, it cannot be equated with an attorney defending a client in a criminal case where the principle of “everyone deserves representation” applies. IF true, he was just plain wrong. Saying without waivering, “I was wrong and wouldn’t do something like that again” would mitigate the error.
(3) It is probably true that the “mainstream media” fear FDT the most because he has charm and appeal. He is likeable while Sen. Clinton is not.
(4) He just hired an openly homosexual man to help run his campaign. Not a very bright thing to do if one claims to be a conservative. He needs to reverse his position there also and fire the dude. Tell people plainly that he doesn’t approve of homosexuality and will not aid and abeit it in the least.
(5) If the lobby story turns out to be true and FDT doesn’t show better judgement in who he surrounds himself with (AKA homosexuals), then he will lose his luster quickly. I would probably still check his name on the ballot, but not because I’m voting for him, but against the worser evil of a Rudy or Mitt.
(6) I want to VOTE FOR someone, not against someone. I am disenchanted with FDT. He could redeem himself, but I don’t think he will try. That “reality of Hollywood” he joked about has apparently affected his values.
So if they are lying about that, what do you think the odds are that they are lying about the whole thing? The whole TANG fiasco with Presidnet Bush shows the left is very willing to manufacture documents to support their claims.
