Well..Romney is criticised by many Fred fans for just changing his mind on the issue.

If the article is true, then how coming Fred is given a free pass even though he could have actually lobbyed for a abortion right’s group.

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.

If the man he hired is good at his job, why should Fred fire him? Just to satisfy those who don't like the guy's lifestyle choices? I want Fred to have the best people on the job helping him win the Presidency. As long as the man isn't making policy, it doesn't matter.

" We have to remember that this is a war. The other side has no moral standard. Everything goes. They can pretend to be a concerned FReeper, meanwhile, giving doubts about a targeted candidate. Remember that this site has a lot of readers. The more doubts they create in the lurkers or legit FReepers the better "

The DNC and Hillary's people are paid to lurk on FR and other Conservitive sights to sow discord, to spread lies and put doubts in weak hearts and minds, it's our job to stand firm, and hold the tide ( Hillary ? Fred is going to win, might as well pack up and move back to New York ).

As someone who was pretty enthusiastic about the prospect of a Thompson candidacy, now I think I'll keep looking.

See, this is why the left anf MSM throw out these DAN RATHER FAKE BUT ACCURATE stories, because they know they work with a small percentage of mindless dupes.

Ditto for Romney supporters. Thank you.

From Newsbusters:

"The AP did a wonderful job making this story seem more cut and dried than it really is, of course, but the fact is, this claim of Thompson's supposed lobbying for the National Family Planning and Reproductive Health Association is nothing but an unproven (and maybe unprovable) claim against Thompson made by people who are well-known, far left activists and heavy contributors to the Hillary Clinton for President campaign."

With all due respect, conservatives who believe this stuff with the current level of evidence (and the current accusers) are almost certainly biased in some way. I wouldn't believe these Hillary-supporting bags of crap if they told me Rudy Giuliani lobbied for a pro-abort group. Why the heck do you believe them?

It's also worth noting that Hillary's folks are scared of Fred. Hmmmmm...

Truth is, he may or may not have done legal work for them almost 20 years ago.

I don’t really care if it is true or not.

I will take his very strong pro-life voting record over these many, many years as opposed to the very pro abort record of his opponents any day.

Not sure why this is an issue for anyone. You will be choosing between two or more people. Pick the best. He is the best on abortion between all the front-runners for certain.

Anyone who gets all hyper about this must make the Demo machine and their friends at the LA times roll in laughter at how easy they are manipulated. Sad.

This is the Rudy Guliani folks scrambling, perhaps in cahoots even with the pro-Hillary abortion on demand folks and the LATimes.

This site will be inundated as Rudy falls more. They are in full panic mode about Fred. They are getting mean, viscious, and stopping at nothing. Some were already mean before they got kicked out of here. Fred continues to climb in the polls, Guliani is falling and it is making some mad as heck.

Not only is the left afraid of Fred, but now the left field Republicans are too.

Most likely an exiled one from this year, who is in full panic mode about Rudy losing to a guy that hasn’t even announced yet... Many said, including myself, that it was too early to crown Rudy Guliani king of all peoples and that he was the only one that could win. They got mean, tore down RR and other good conservatives... There is a battle to push the party way left and the claims have been that the conservative right didn’t have a strangle hold on the party anymore. I think Fred’s rise proves them wrong. The electorate is finding about Rudy’s positions... Many want an alternative.

I agree with you completely. This is much ado about nothing. It's the job of a lawyer to provide representation to people. Doesnt matter whether they agree with them or not. Whether they think they are innocent or guilty, creepy or nice, right or wrong ....

His campaign person may not be handling this in the best way but that's another story.

The idea that Rudy’s folks act in cahoots with Hillary’s is absurd. This thing has the prints of her PI types all over it.

They dont need help from anyone else to land something in the NYT and LAT on the same day.

That said, I still think it is much ado about nothing.
