The (family-planning) people versus Fred Thompson

[CA Conservative]

He plays a character named Otis in this western.

Yes, but that movie didn't come out for more than a year after the conversation in question took place. And for a TV movie, the post-production time frame would not be a year or more...

[airborne]

I hope not, though the Fredheads think I want him out of the race after supporting his entry into it.

I think Thompson has thicker skin than some of his supporters here. ;^)

But if he says one thing and the documentation shows up to prove otherwise, it will be just what the libs are waiting for.

I think if they had it, the'd show it.

Time will tell.

[pissant]

No doubt about that. They expect the rest of the candidate’s supporters to get in line for the coronation. Ain’t happening.

But the LA Times may be chasing a Mary Mapes/Rather story on this one.

[RobbyS]

Well, the OLD Reagan signed a law in Califronia that liberalized abortion.

[Petronski]

Yup. The LA Times is on Par with the tabloids.

Glad you're up to speed.

It’s really common for actors to work a year or more in advance of when a film is released. I don’t know the exact dates when he worked.

[an amused spectator]

The minutes from a meeting where DeSarno SAYS she hired Fred don’t quite rise to the level of convincing proof.

Yeah, but the minutes had peripheral spacing this time! ;-)

[new yorker 77]

Too busy supporting Duncan Heinz to be up to speed.

[an amused spectator]

Meanwhile, the NY Times has decided to attack Thompson as the "old man" with the "trophy wife", while Hilliary! is a "woman of faith".

Yes, and the NY Times reporterette who wrote the story married an old man herself, so I guess she herself is a "trophy wife". ;-)

If fred fans are going to paint his as equally stalwart and consistent, I’m going to correct that.

I assume you are speaking of his opposition to abortion here. What are you using here to "correct" them here other than a dubious story in the LA Times?

[hoosierpearl]

“I want the records to be clear on ALL the candidates.”

If Bill or Hill is involved in a campaign, that is never going to happen. Confuse, lie, distort. They and their underlings are known for many falsehoods. It takes a long time to find the proof sometimes [Peter Paul’s videos took five years to be released that prove she’s lied].

I like Duncan Hunter too, he’s a great candidate. If he ever had any polling numbers like FDT, he’s be attacked and lied about too. You’re holding Fred to an impossible standard.

To me, the 0 he gets from pro abortion groups is proof enough. He would not have a 0 from them if he had ever worked for them. There has been other information offered from his spokesman and John Sununu. It takes forever to go through billing records and do it carefully.

I’m not impressed with your posts, and I do not consider them fairminded.

[Stallone]

The truth hurts.

Try Hydrocodone.

[Stallone]

What is so good about this for Fred, is:

Inane accusations inure voters to such charges, thereby immunizing him against future potentially more substantial or credible ones.

Fred would be wise to even help plant wildass accusations early. People will tire of hearing them.

Way to go, Dummycrats!
