As the WaPo describes him, a "top adviser" to the Mitt Romney campaign was caught with a Web site that attacked Fred Thompson:
Before it vanished, the front page of the website featured a picture of a regal Thompson dressed in a frilly outfit more befitting a Gilbert and Sullivan production than a presidential campaign. Under the heading, "Playboy Fred," the site asks the question: "Once a Pro-Choice Skirt Chaser, Now Standard Bearer of the Religious Right?"
Nice. Real classy. Was this done at the request of the Romney campaign? If so, it should be a deal breaker for Mitt Romney. Especially considering Romney's flirtation with abortion is far, far more extensive than whatever Fred Thompson has done on the subject.
We're a long way from Reagan's 11th commandment.

16. Linda K. Nabors - I like some of the things Romney has said, but I haven't made up my mind yet - it's still too early. One thing that turns me off, though, is statements like yours about returning to "family tradition of our forefathers." You mean like the traditions that women couldn't inherit property, or the one where women couldn't vote, or the one about slavery? There's a lot of supposed "family tradition" that I'd just as soon not have our next president support. The generic statements about family traditions or family values, from ANY candidate, are just so much posturing and hot air. Let's have some specifics.

19. IF THIS IS AS "DIRTY" AS IT GETS WITH THE REPUBLICANS, THEN I CAN HANDLE IT. GIVE ME THIS ANY DAY OVER CHINESE CONNECTION DONATIONS THAT ARE RECEIVED BY THE "FILTHY" TO INFLUENCE OUR ELECTION AND POLICIES AS WELL.

21. I would think that a Romney/Thompson-Thompson/Romney Ticket would be interesting to see, heck in a handbasket, I just want to see Romney in office. We need a God Fearing, single family individual in office. We need family values and National Pride in office. We need Romney.

22. 1. Thompson was playing a "part" not his real life.
2. Thompson has been linked to VP Cheney which really
scares me.
3. How a person worships God (or not) shouldn't be
an issue.
4. What about the 2002 Olympics. Pretty cool in my
book.
5. As for MA? Romney Did not back away from
health care OR the big dig. Something we need.

25. I DONT SWEAT THE SMALL POLITICAL SMEARING... IF IT DOESNT INFLUENCE OUR ELECTION PROCESS OR OUR FOREIGN POLICIES WITH LARGE COMMY MONEY DONATIONS I CAN HANDLE IT. YOU ASK IN YOUR ARTICLE "WAS THIS DONE AT THE REQUEST OF THE ROMNEY CAMPAIGN?" LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION... ARENT "YOU" SUPPOSE TO FIND THAT OUT BEFORE YOU START A SMEAR CAMPAIGN OF YOUR OWN OF A PRESIDENTAL CANDIDATE? TYPICAL LEFT WING MEDIA... WRITING ARTICLES WITH NO FACTS TO BACK THEM UP.

28. This is proove the point of how weak most candidates that are now running for President really are.They seems to be scared of Mr Romneys successful Resume and his Articulate Style that majority of Americans are leaning towards him.And whats really fuming this trash on Romney are the Loser they see no light of day except the darkness of the night.They see a real Candidate with a real LEADERSHIP ABILITY TO STEER OUR BELOVED COUNTRY TOWARDS THE RIGHT WAY AND A MORE SAFER AMERICA.He has been TRAINED and PREPARED through his LIFES EXPERIENCES as A LEADER in EDUCATION,WORK HISTORY,PUBLIC AND GOVERNMENT SERVICES to be one day become a greatest PRESIDENT we will forever be PROUD OF AND BE GREATFUL FOR.IN GOD WE TRUST AMERICA not the ANTI Romney and WHATEVER THEY CONSTRUCT.

29. Mr. Thompson seems like a fine person and a fair actor. If he has a plan, he has not revealed it. Unlike President Reagan, who I liked and disliked, who was a class "A" leader and communicator, Mr. Thompson does have those qualities. Besides, one actor is enough as president for a century or two.

30. Pab323 if you are so concerned with Hillary's lies, then why aren't you concerned with Bush's lies resulting in 600,000 dead, 2,000,000 refugees and 500 Bllion dollars wasted. You sure have a funny set of priorities.
How much are you making on the war? Cheney tripled his net worth to over 100 million dollars are you selling out the lives of our troops like him?
