Fred is going to be our next president.
I still remember Fred from the Clinton finance committee hearings.
Very disappointing.
I remember every job I’ve ever held.
The work clearly had so little impact on Thompson's life that he doesn't even recall doing it. Guys like Richard Land are saying this story is a non-starter.
Seriously, if this is the best the opposition can offer, this is going to be a cakewalk for Thompson.
The dems will have a field day if Fred wins the nomination. All his years of lobbying are filled with juicy attack points. For example the attempt to shield asbestos companies from litigation, or this issue.
The Dem/media plan will be to stay on the attack for the whole presidential election against Thompson with one shady lobbying story after another. Forcing the Thompson campaign onto the defensive for the campaign.
This ground swell of support is unprecedented and it is hard for both Thompson’s camp as well as his potential competitors to deal with.
As far as did he or didn’t he support abortion, it is clear where he stands now and that position is built over many years of solid proof. I concur with someone who put forth that before he was a Senator he may never have had any thoughts on the subject. I know I did not early on, mainly because such things did not go on in my crowd or if it did it was quickly and quietly done. When I became politically active, I “formalized” my position as pro life.
Reagan was about the same way. His stance grew.
For what it is worth, I have read more on Hunter and like him. I wish he would set the world on fire. Maybe he can in the end, but I feel comfortable that except for a couple of folks, we have a good field going into the primaries.
It’s entertaining to see how many “FReepers” don’t want the Republicans to have a candidate. It would prevent them from expressing the cynicism and apathy that comprises their entire political DNA. If you are even mildly acting like you don’t want a Republican to win the WH in 08, then you are supporting a leftist Democrat in my book.
No. This is a flat-out lie. Read Fred’s piece. We discussed it up and down here yesterday.
So, what we have in this item you posted, is no new information. It’s just old information interpreted in a way that you like. The same as ever. Pfftt!
*Yawn*
Despite the worst efforts by you, the lib media and the Democrats, Fred’s still doing great among likely voters!
Rasmussen Friday the 13th:
Fred Thompson 25%
Rudy Giuliani 24%
John McCain 12%
Mitt Romney 12%
Mike Huckabee 2%
Sam Brownback 2%
Keep it up! I just donated another $100 to Friends of Fred, bringing my total so far to $250 since their website went up June 5th.
On my modest salary, I hadn’t planned to give so much so soon, but you guys bring out the campaign donor in me!
The inside buzz is that all of the slime heaped on Fred is actually helping his campaign by painting him as a symapathetic figure under attack from panicky rivals and the drive-by media.
Thanks for your part in all that, and thanks for persuding me to open my wallet for Fred Thompson!
This article is taking a legal statement about how legal representation works and twisting it to say he did actually work for this firm.
Ya’ll know about this issue more than me. Any “inconsistencies”?
Rob21 got banned for trying to hold Fred’s feet to the fire on abortion. The claim was that he was distorting the record, but that claim is starting to sound hollow to me.
Abortion - Don’t just hold Rudy and Mitt accountable, remember Fred

Isn't this why most Freepers railed against Harriet Miers?
I am backing no candidate, but see a lot of hypocrisy in the starry-eyed backing of Thompson when Miers traversed a similar course on abortion.
btt
This is what he said from the beginning.
