Quick response time by Fred. We need more of that with Republicans, that is for sure.

[Does so]

Is Thompson not "announcing" because there may be other issues yet to emerge? It would be smart to wait so these become "old news", though.

Hillary’s people are behind this story about Fred:

Isn’t it amazing how good 16 year old memories are when the Dems want then to be.
I can’t remember what I had for supper last night.

I’ve read on a different website, that this smear was caused by the Clinton team in advance to Thompson’s entry into the race. Hitjobs such as this can always be traced back to whom it was given to advance. Typical of the Clinton team. Besides, I heard on Hannity’s where Bob Beckel stated clearly that the only thing dems are afraid of was an entry of Fred Thompson.

The Dims have only begun to show how desperate they are.

Fred’s wife will be the focus, unfortunately.

It will backfire on them. When he defends his wife, he will gain that many more votes.

This a hit piece on Thompson put out by the Hillary machine! Give it the due consideration that it deserves...which is none!

[LibertarianInExile]

But every thing that is negative about Fred Thompson is just a smear.
Voted NO on allowing reimportation of Rx drugs from Canada? Smear!
Voted YES on limiting self-employment health deduction. SMEAR!
Voted NO on medical savings acounts. SMEAR!
Video documenting past support for abortion? SMEAR!
Lobbyist for clients like Toyota and Jean-Paul Aristide? A DAMN SMEAR!
First past-the-post backer of RINOs supreme Lamar Alexander and John McCain? SMEARARAMA!
Voted for minimum wage increasse? SMEARTASTIC!
Voted yes on funding the NEA? SMEARAJAMARAMA!
McCain-Feingold point man? SMEARALICIOUS!

It’s just so...so...AWFUL...that a proven, doctrinaire, constitutionalist, conservative like Fred can be SMEARED like this!

The people claiming this have lied about at least one item. In the article that appeared in the Sacramento Bee, the woman who supposedly met with Thompson to discuss the lobbying effort said she remembered the meetng in particular because Thompson acted out a cowboy's death scene from one of his movies. I checked FDT's filmography, and Thompson had not appeared in any western or other movie involving cowboys by 1991.

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.

[Mr. Silverback]

NewsMax and WND have both been giving voice to silly abortion-related hit pieces on Thompson lately. I really don’t put any stock in either site anymore, especially NewsMax.
