As predicted, when folks start taking Fred Thompson seriously, he’ll have to face the withering fire of partisans from both sides. He’s already taking hits and his responses are revealing about what kind of president he might be. Evidently he’s adopted Reagan’s “Teflon” approach. Seems that he was hired as a lobbyist for a
“family-planning group to help ease a controversial abortion restriction, according to a 1991 document and several people familiar with the matter.” (Josh Marshall)
Steve Benen elaborates:
“Getting away with lobbying for a pro-choice client is an awkward hurdle. Getting caught lying about it can dog a presidential campaign for quite a while.”
Same old same old for the Republicans. Why can’t they simply admit that what they do is considered “business as usual?” That because they BELIEVE that they are GOOD Americans that anything they do is allowed because they are GOOD and they are fighting EVIL. Put up or shut up Repubs!
