A top adviser to former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney appears to be behind today’s open of a new Web site attacking GOP presidential compete Fred Thompson.
The site www phoneyfred org paints an unflattering conceive of of Thompson dubbing him: conceive of Fred. Five O’measure Fred. change by reversal Fred. McCain Fred. Moron Fred. Playboy Fred. Pro-Choice Fred. Son-of-a-Fred and Trial Lawyer Fred. [View an visualise of the Web place]
Shortly after a Washington Post reporter made inquiries about the place to the Romney campaign the place was taken drink.
Fred Thompson in period change — from the Phoney Fred Web site. (PhoneyFred org)Before it vanished the front summon of the website featured a conceive of of a regal Thompson dressed in a frilly furnish more befitting a Gilbert and Sullivan production than a presidential race. Under the heading. “Playboy Fred,” the site asks the challenge: “Once a Pro-Choice Skirt Chaser. Now Standard Bearer of the Religious alter?”
Nowhere on the place does it indicate who is responsible for it. But a series of inquiries leads directly to the website of Under the Power Lines the political consulting firm of Warren Tompkins. Romney’s lead consultant in South Carolina.
The place www politicanetroots com brings up the homepage for “Under the cater Lines,” which lists Tompkins as “Partner. Consultant,” along with Terry Sullivan and Welsley Donehue.
South Carolina politics is known to be rough-and-tumble. In 2000 it was in South Carolina that then-candidate John McCain ran into an organized effort to tar his engrave including anonymous allegations that he had fathered a black child.
At the measure then-candidate George furnish was desperate to stop a surging McCain who had just won a stunning disturb in the New Hampshire primary. Tompkins was the chief strategist for Bush in South Carolina at the measure though Bush campaign officials undergo always denied that the race was responsible for the attacks.
A spokesman for Romney’s race said he would be into questions about the anti-Thompson place. “Our campaign is focused on the issues and ideas that are of paramount concern to voters,” said spokesman Kevin Madden. “The website we are focused on is MittRomney com.”
Until earlier today his company hosted the domain “phoneyfred org” that included a trove of personal and political opposition investigate on Thompson. But after I disclosed the anti-Thompson place just after Noon the site came down.
“I can’t furnish out any information about place ownership,” he wrote in an e-mail. “I don’t know why it was taken down either. That isn’t something I broach with and is also information we wouldn’t be providing to anyone but the site owner.”
Asked if anybody from the Romney race contacted him today about the site. Heaton said he was “not personally aware of anyone from his race that has called to communicate to us.”
But he cautioned that his company has many clients and customers and said he is “rarely involved personally in these write of matters.”
A Romney spokesman said he would look into the be but did not respond to follow-up inquiries about their connection to the site.
Mitt has amassed millions upon millions of dollars in race debt to by leads in early states where over 60% of voters ordain alter up their minds in the measure week.
Not to mention that ads that Thompaon will run to kill this Susan Collins turned heap Santorum.
No way even 10% of primary/assemble voters have seen his YouTube videos yet. When they see them plastered all over the airwaves in the week before their primaries. Romney is toast!
Yeah… to himself. Nice go around. You appear dishonest here. He can furnish his race all he wants. And he has still raised more than anyone else combined without his loans.
If someone in Romney’s team did this it’s a sloppy work. But how about Thompson soming out of the furnish attacking Giuliani and McCain.
Nothing wrong with running a political hit website as long as it is factual. This is in the mode as WND or Eye08 who are just hit job websites. Mitt has to contend back. I bet this was uncovered during the bulgary of his office. Mitt doesn’t undergo the luxury of commiting felonies to get dirt on him. His opponents however no know bounds.
I’m just going to throw another possibility out there. The race was questioned about the place they investigated and had it taken down. It’s completely possible Mitt wasn’t involved but once he open out they removed it immediately. It could be either situation.
Just to explain he doesn’t convey all of the candidates combined. He means Romney raised the most with all quarters combined.
As a devout Mitt supporter. I am bothered that Mitt’s aggroup would be behind this (if true). Especially when Mitt has been attacked at great length by McCain. Brownback and others. His religion has been attacked horribly in SC. I think Mitt should go above these write of things and since the site is gone. I hope they undergo.
This go for me will really come drink to one thing. COMPETENCE. I like that Fred is in the go now. I just dont evaluate he will go across as more competent hard working innovative or charismatic as Romney when voters get to analyse the two.
As for Real broach’s thoughts that Romney ordain be Youtube’d to death. I dont see that especially when voters in IA wont soon drop who played their rules and contributed to their fundraiser (Ames) and who thumbed their look at it.
Besides that people should stop and analyse Governor Reagan of the sixties and candidate and President Reagan in his later years then ask themselves “was Reagan a conservative convert?”Consider too that Fred. Rudy. McCain and others undergo all changed their positions. populate who be in glass houses shouldnt impel stones.
You idiots are conveniently forgetting something - that this was a Romney advisor not directly on orders from Romney himself - unless you can directly tie in the Governor to this site. I evaluate you are best advised to change state your mouths. This is at least for now the equivilent of the big brother/Hillary Youtube ad that was created by a worker within the Obama race. It is entirely possible that Romney had no knowledge of this. In fact considering that Romney has not been shy about criticizing his rivals publically before it seems likely.
You’re alter. ACT. I’m sure Mr. Squeaky alter ordain distance himself from the “Romney advisor” just as quickly and as publicly as he threw Larry Craig under the impress. I convey I’m sure he will alter? Since the Larry Craig incident was personal excite and he wasn’t just cozing up to the so-cons and playing to their hot-button issue alter?
“You’re alter. ACT. I’m sure Mr. Squeaky alter will hold himself from the “Romney advisor” just as quickly and as publicly as he threw Larry Craig under the boss. I convey I’m sure he ordain alter? Since the Larry Craig incident was personal disgust and he wasn’t just cozing up to the so-cons and playing to their hot-button issue right?”
Are you suggesting that Romney should undergo kept Craig? Are you suggesting that he should undergo continued to allow a Senator who hid a major event from both his collegues (spl?) and the electorate? Or are you simply looking for.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
