Fred Thompson stepped up his attacks against Mitt Romney today in South Carolina on two fronts: his immigration stance and his campaign financing.
Governor Romney supported the immigration bill that I opposed back before it became a controversial issue, Thompson said, referring to the failed immigration bill put forth earlier this year. The governor once again has changed his position.
Thompson told a packed lunchtime crowd at the Beef OBradys restaurant in Ft. Mill that Romney was trying to buy his way to the nomination. "Governor, you cant buy South Carolina. You cant even rent it.
Some polls show Thompson leading the Republican pack in South Carolina, despite not yet airing any ads there.
The governor of Massachusetts has now apparently put in $20 million of his personal fortune, and spent a good chunk of it in South Carolina. I havent bought one TV ad yet, one radio ad yet, and yet I seem to be in the lead, he said. So from a management standpoint, I think Im getting a little bit more for my money right now.

I completely disagree because Hollyweird is not how I became aware of FDT.(you did say "no one") He was, to me, 'one of those guys I wish would run for President but I know he never will' politicians before I knew him to be an actor.
FWIW, I support FDT yet I've never watched Law and Order, tho I keep meaning to check it out simply because he's on the show. IMHO, the 'he's from Hollywood' dog just doesn't hunt. Others might, who knows, but not that one.
btw...should your guy be the Rep nom, I can vote for him. I can't comfortable say that about a couple others.
Poised to belatedly begin his South Carolina campaign, into which he's about to sink millions of campaign dollars, Thompson commits audacious hypocrisy by claiming that Romney is attempting to "buy" South Carolina with his own campaign's millions. Think about it. Thompson is kicking off his multimillion dollar campaign in SC and is condemning Romney for engaging in his own multimillion dollar campaign.
Heh heh...”you can’t even rent it”.
If Fred locks up the South, it’s over.
Powerful comment, newbie. Any other meaningless info that you want to share with us?
Your on a roll.
Romney, McCain, and Thompson are already getting protests, called "flaggings" in South Carolina, and it has had an effect on their supportors.
Thompson has been described as a "Scalawag", and the Massachusettes yankee (Romney) is a carpetbagger.
Their efforts are dead in SC.
There should be some kind of intelligence question on free republic before people like you would fail.
