2008 Shakeup Time (Carl Cameron on Senator Thompson)
Fox News ^ | January 21, 2008 | Carl Cameron

Posted on 01/21/2008 7:03:26 PM PST by Kurt Evans

Fred Thompson sources say the actor and former Tenn senator may withdraw from the race. There are no plans to attend Thursday’s Florida debate.

Staffers have been on partial pay since the NH primary. The Senators plans are very fluid. As of 8:45 this evening, there are no plans for any announcement about whether he will stay in the race or not. The team is wrestling with very few options. The Senator is in Nashville visiting his mother (in her 90’s) who has been ill.

From THE FIRST DAY Fox News broke the story last March of his candidacy, Thompson has always had a vice presidential bid in mind. Today a top aide even mentioned the idea on Brian and the Judge on Fox News Radio.

why hasn’t it showed up before tonight?

It has, but if you don't have a horse in shining armor, you can't ride into the sunset, can you?

The MittBots are making it impossible to support Romney if the need arises . We are not going to sit here and get insulted and watch Fred get insulted , and then support Flip Romney or the Huckster like nothing ever happened .

We are dead serious about this . I’m keeping options open , but I will not put up with the disgusting anti-Fred smears and propaganda .... I will sit the damn thing out ....

Get ready , the Mittbots and the Hucksters are about to be rolled by McPain if his minions keep this up .

Did you read my post #3 where I called out Carl Cameron? Hey I’m with you on Fred. But you have to admit you are one of the leading Mitt bashers.

“Oh wow , this is a smear Fred thread . I hope it gets pulled ...”

Are you suggesting that something in post #2 isn’t true?

My backup plan, Duncan Hunter, bailed on Saturday. This article (which you may have seen), sums things up for me and the overall outlook perfectly.

I’m calling Mitt out on his anti-gun flip flops . He still doesn’t have a clue about the issue . This is important .

“kick him while he’s down huh?”

I’m kicking his candidacy, not him. I believe it would be in Senator Thompson’s own best interest to forsake any pursuit of the presidency or vice presidency.

They need to pull these rumor threads. This one was a trojan rumor thread.

Ribbed or Reservoir Tip?

“Thompson has a 100% pro-life Senate record.”

That isn’t true:

“The NRLC itself on at least three occasions during Mr. Thompson’s Senate term included votes related to McCain-Feingold as key votes on their congressional scorecard, votes needed to ensure the vitality of the pro-life movement. Mr. Thompson received a failing grade each time by voting for McCain-Feingold.”

Fred Thompson and the NRLC:

Thanks Carl Cameron. Starting tomorrow I will be saving money by dropping FOX News from my cable. Saving about thirteen dollars a month. Now to Fred’s website for another donation. Fox News Fair and Balanced my Ass!
