Fred Thompson's Shadow Campaign Signage

by: Dean Barker

Fri Aug 31, 2007 at 19:46:19 PM EDT


Does Fred Thompson remember that, outside of Hollywood, there is such a thing as a Federal Election Commission, with you know, rules and laws and stuff about running for office?  A vigilant reader sent me this cell phone pic, taken today "from the south side of Hollis near the Nashua border":
Thompson
That sign is as "grassroots" looking as "I'm With Fred", the officially authorized non-campaign website from Nashville, TN. For more on Frederick of Hollywood's casual interpretation of campaign finance laws, see Adam B's excellent summary, and elwood's take on the announcement date.

Update: Well, lookie here!  That sign is from the "Official Thompson Store", which looks exactly like in style and functionality, but is not found on, his non-campaign campaign website.

This seems really fishy to me.  He's not disclosing, he has yet to declare, and his "store" is not on his website, though they are clearly done by the same outfit.  What's going on here?

Looks like (4.00 / 1)
another Republican that doesn't like to adhere to the law. 

Republicans have (0.00 / 0)
all the same values.

Great find (4.00 / 1)
So cheesy!

Yep that looks like (4.00 / 1)
Thompson style!  He's a movie star and thinks it doesn't matter to the little people!

All votes should count - one vote/one person.
