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.

46. To Ron And Jor,
You two are poorly informed and ignorant of what you say about Mormmons.
Besides, The constitution garantees the right to worship according to one's own dictates. Do you propose to supend that article?
By the way, there is NO CONSTITUTIONAL provision about which religeon a man MUST ascribe to to become a viable presidential candidate! Do you propose to suspend that article as well?
Before you go spouting off about someone else's religeon why don't you study up JUST A LITTLE BIT.
Finally, I hope America has gotten past religeous hatred. What sad words you spout, what a sad spirit you bring to the forum. It really has no place in the political Arena in America!

47. If you really don't want decency and honesty, and a refreshingly smart President of these United Srates, then don't vote for Mitt Romney

For your information, Romney inherited the "Big Dig" and did what was necessary to finish the disastrous project...which by the way was started by a Democratic Governor and Legislature.
Romney also balanced the $3B budget deficit left by his predecessors.

50. A GREAT Ticket would be Thompson-Romney said Gonzo # 10 above. I agree, except I think it should be Romney-Thompson. I agree with Pab323, Hillary is a liar and should be in jail for the land scandal she and slick willy orchestrated, and for not protecting America from several Terrorist attacks, and for weakening America - reduction of military - reducing and nearly terminating our intelligence-spy network opening America to the 9/11 attack, plunging us into a recession, and for being such total liars. Even their greatest money raiser dropped the Clintons for lying so easily. I agree with Marla # 15 above. Any mudslinging by Republicans pales in comparison to the Democrats and their lies and dishonest antics. Come on Bas # 13 above. Pull your head out. When Mitt Romney or other Republicans talk about family values or traditional values they are not talking about slavery, or traditions that women couldn't inherit property, or the one where women couldn't vote. Please, give us a break. They are talking about doing something about the the attacks on family values where children are denied parents, where children are defrauded and misled by teachings that advance the gay rights agenda and its unnatural arrangements denying a boy a father or a girl a mother, etc. They are talking about the rising divorce rate, the falling birth rate, the marriage rate between a man and a woman, and so forth. As for A. J. Koporc's comments - it lacks mental acuity. Get a grip. People need to get past the presentation, and look at the substance of what's being said. To reject an argument or evidence because the presentation isn't what you want shows a lack of intellectual and analytical ability.You apparently prefer form over substance? This business of "it's not what you say but how you say it" is nonsense. The Democrats, especially Hillary, and the liberal new media say all kinds of vicious-distorted lies, untruths, mudslinging, and uncivilized comments - but Hillary and the Demos and the media say them so nice. Is that the type of person we want as President? NO. We want direct honest communication (without violating national security). WE WILL NEVER GET HONEST COMMUNICATION FROM HILLARY CLINTON - SHE'S A LIAR, A CHEAT, AND A MINIPULATOR.
GO ROMNEY & THOMPSON!!!!!

51. If American (from Supreme Court Justice to Florida' Hispanics) had shown their love for G.W.Bush (the most bigot ever exist) twice, why not Mitt Romney?
