		<description>The worst part is that almost none of his supporters want to vote for Fred. They want to vote for the DA from Law &amp; Order.

		<description>&lt;em&gt;People are allowed to change positions on issues during the course of a life time.&lt;/em&gt;

Sure. If you&#039;re a Republican. If you&#039;re a Dem, that makes you a &quot;flip-flopper.&quot;

		<description>&lt;i&gt;The problem with this accusation is that a lawyer spending 19 hours on something a couple of decades ago and forgetting it looks like a hit job with spit balls.&lt;/i&gt;

This is the tactic: the rightwing will pretend Thompson was hired as a lawyer to provide legal advice.

The reality is very much different: Thompson was paid as a lobbyist and, in this capacity, he wasn&#039;t providing legal advice. He was paid to provide access and to advocate a certain agenda.

		<description>&lt;i&gt;It doesn&#039;t have quite that meaning on the right. Lying requires a willful throwing your finger at the camera &quot;I did not have sex with that woman&quot; kind of deliberateness.
&lt;/i&gt;

Dugger has already conceded that Clinton was not lying when he said that. Dugger thinks he &lt;i&gt;might&lt;/i&gt; have been lying, but can&#039;t get in his head to know for sure.

And the good Dr. has pwn3d you.

		<description>No, he LOBBIED for baby-killing, before he flip-flopped and voted against it.

Got it, Kathy?

Get with the program.

Actually, we Libs are VERY scared with regard to Fred Thompson.

We are very scared he will chicken out and not run.

Cons seem to be getting behind the idea he is the second coming of Ronald Reagan, their icon and hero.

BUt there&#039;s one BIG difference, aside from the huge differences between them as politicains and as men:  Ronald Reagan only had to beat Jimmy Carter, a kind Christian soul, with not a mean bone in his bubba-the-peanut-farmer body.

Nightmare-on-K-Street Freddy Thompson will have to beat Hillary Clinton AND the easy access to information provided by the Web AND a big money disadvantage.

Lessee what happens, K?

		<description>Kathy, I fixed your sentence for you:

&quot;Lying requires a willful throwing your finger at the camera &#039;We do not torture&#039; kind of deliberateness.&quot;

		<description>So he lied about being a baby killer. BFD! You Libruls should really worry about things that matter to us 26%ers.
We don&#039;t care about lying and baby killing for profit.
We want Fred!

		<description>The problem with this accusation is that a lawyer spending 19 hours on something a couple of decades ago and forgetting it looks like a hit job with spit balls.

The left throws &#039;lied&#039; around so much the meaning is dumbed down to misstatements, omissions, and a failed crystal ball.

It doesn&#039;t have quite that meaning on the right. Lying requires a willful throwing your finger at the camera &quot;I did not have sex with that woman&quot; kind of deliberateness.

Even if there is proof that Thompson had hundreds of advocacy hours on this issue his Senate record stands in the way of that doing serious damage.

People are allowed to change positions on issues during the course of a life time. The evidence of Thompson&#039;s Senate record indicates a strong Pro-Life position. He did not vote for abortion before he voted against it.

And the right does see this as a sign the left is small-minded, petty, ignorant, and scared. Nice to know the &#039;scared&#039; part doesn&#039;t bother you.

		<description>If it was just 20 hours, why did his campaign lie and say he hadn&#039;t worked on this issue at all?

		<description>Well he&#039;s bald so we can&#039;t spend three weeks on any of his haircuts.

&quot;All we have&quot; is that he&#039;s a liar.  And before he even announces (which he&#039;s avoiding doing to keep getting those Hollywood paychecks).  Do you not get dinner that night if you think impure of Leader?

		<description>Hopefully the right sees this &#039;attack&#039; as a sign we are scared. His numbers are not as strong against the Democrats as Rudy&#039;s are. He does well with the Republican&#039;s core demographic, but poor with just about everyone else, including independents.
