John Thune, the guy that made Tom Daschle a name I no longer have to read about ever again. God bless him, and continued hope his conservativism will influence many conservatives young and old.

Now, what I do about it after I talk to him with regard to the future, we will just have to see," Thompson said.

There is this, which had to be left as an alternative considering the circumstances.

I’m of a mind that if he turned his life around and rehabilitated himself, that should have an impact.

I agree...mostly...as I'm all for giving people a second chance if they mend their ways. However, there is a level of trust that's been bruised. I'm betting Martin is putting in one bad night tonight.

The more I see about this, the more I think it’s a weak attempt by the media to smear Thompson. But I also get the feeling that the MSM is holding back details, and there’s still some information yet to come on this.

Martin was still on probation when he got charged with the cocaine trafficking and felony bookmaking, and all he got was a longer probation sentence. That’s enough to set off alarms with me, and it should with anyone. He must have some very powerful friends to pull strings like that.

And why did this “good friend” endanger Fred by not telling him about these charges? What else is he hiding?

Some have also suggested it’s an attempt to distract from the current “Is Hillary a Lesbian?” story, or the fact that she choked at the last debate.

Fred handled the initial round. We’ll have to wait and see what comes next.

It's not to late, everyone else was too early. Fred's support will b one of the many "suprises" that the MSM will have to report once again.


It's also not too late to help out a fellow FReeper...checkout the tagline and take action.
