As we discussed a couple weeks ago, Fred Thompson has been pushing the boundaries of FEC law, claiming to be “testing the waters” but not campaigning — which frees him to avoid filing an FEC disclosure. As The Hill reported, Thompson’s activities have looked a lot like a campaign, which would mean he’s breaking the law by not filing. Now Adam Bonin of Daily Kos has a good in-depth look at the story, including a number of damning statements from Thompson’s own mouth. This isn’t going away.

Something to say?
Catch him !He has looked like a candidate for a while now! His delays are growing to look like fear, now add a willingness to stretch the law to his advantage….. at least it gives us a look at his true color and leadership ethics. He looks less like a principled leader every day. Somewhere in the conservative litmus test is there a check for honesty & integrity? There needs to be one.This smells like a “good old boy” attitude to me.
