It was Romney that planted that false story to "The Politico" on the day of the Iowa Caucus that Thompson was quitting the race.

Got any proof of that? I didn't think so. If you actually read the Politico piece, you would see that it cited those in Thompson's campaign making the claim. It went further to speculate that Thompson would then endorse McCain.

I can appreciate fervor for your candidate, but it doesn't mean you have to lie about soneone elses.

Moreover, there is more sleaze from the Romney camp:

Got any proof of that? I didn't think so

Sheesh. You "didn't think so."

You were correct with your words "I didn't think" and should have stopped there.

But you sound like the kind of person that wouldn't admit being caught red handed if it was on videotape. Here is a FR thread discussing it:

Even more telling, Thompson stated "another campaign" planted that false story. The reporter tried to make him say on the air which campaign it was, and Thompson said the famous "I owe you nothing" line.

Everyone knows it was Romney. But his handling of the question just shows how much more class and integrity Thompson has than Mitty.

With regards to the rest of the Romney sleaze machine, they have been busy:
