He neglected to add that Fred was REELECTED to a new term in even bigger record numbers! He likely would have been so reelected in 2002, leaving office in Jan 2003 after 11 years in office= but he had just lost a child and decided not to pursue another campaign. Personal tragedy can slow one down for a bit.

Also, as many forget, Fred ran on a pro-term limit platform and promised from day one to only serve two terms- a promise he kept.

As for the article, I'm going through these votes, but I see some that are referenced are procedural votes and not actual bill votes. There was a influx of anti-Fred posts a few weeks back quoting some anti-immigration site that proved Fred voted for illegal immigration. This was shown to be bogus because they only pointed out the procedural votes to move the bill to and from committee (which he voted For) and ignored completely that when the actual bill went to vote, he voted against it.

Maybe we need a Thompson truth file. A lot of the garbage I’ve been reading lately is just a recirculation of charges that have previously been proven to be incorrect. A kind of “Giuliani Truth File” in reverse.
