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.

When he says that Mitt is buying South Carolina he also implies that South Carolina voters are offering their votes for sale. That’s probably not a very wise strategy and sounds a little desperate.
I like Fred, but not working very hard in a campaign is a bad habit to get into. It may not work very well in the general election.
What does “We don’t have need” mean.
Oooh oooh! That’s a great tagline.
None of those. It's just the Romney Sleaze Machine churning out lies again.
The bad news is, candidates who think they are in trouble attack.
Have you noticed his blog has an entry almost every day? He responds through the internet at an enormous rate.
Because he is not holding your hand and stroking your ego( or whatever else needs attention) constantly doesn't mean he isn't working hard.
It will be a new statement. Of course he hasn't said that yet.
I thought Congress makes the law, not the President. Fail in Civics did you?
He forgot New Hampshire and Iowa.

Maybe you should continue reading to see what he said...
“Governor, you cant buy South Carolina. You cant even rent it.
Brushes off hands ..there thinks that fixed it.
A bill passes into law when the President signs it. Hell the President can even issue executive orders without the congress at all. What Fred should do when he gets elected is issue an executive order banning all the filthy dirty running-dog capitalist money out of politics and we can just have the government fund elections itself. That should keep durn greedy rich folk from stealing elections like Bush done in Florida.
I guess you also never knew that a bill passes into law when the President signs it. Why exactly are you Confrederates so ignorant?
Pssst.....the President doesn’t write the bills. Better get out a 4th grade Civics book. It doesn’t have pictures, but the writing is at your level.
Too late— now you have to play the old cya game.
The President can write executive orders and pass them into law without congress. Ain’t you never heard of them executive orders?
