Is the Thompson campaign in trouble? Aide is Out After Crimes Revealed..

Quote

We all know the Democrats love a good smear campaign no matter how old the allegations are. They seem to be at it again. An Aid was forced to resign.

[link to www.thedenverchannel.com]

An adviser to Republican Fred Thompson quit the presidential candidate's campaign Monday, one day after a report about his decades-old criminal record for drug dealing.

"I have decided to resign my position as chair of 'First Day Founders' of 'The Friends of Fred Thompson,"' Philip Martin said in a statement. "The focus of this campaign should be on Fred Thompson's positions on the issues and his outstanding leadership ability, not on mistakes I made some 24 years ago. I deeply regret any embarrassment this has caused."

Martin pleaded guilty to the sale of 11 pounds of marijuana in 1979, but the court withheld judgment pending completion of his probation. In 1983, he was charged with violating probation and multiple counts of bookmaking, cocaine trafficking and conspiracy. He pleaded no contest to the cocaine-trafficking and conspiracy charges, and was continued on probation, the newspaper said.

"Nobody's made any accusations that he's done anything illegal with regard to our campaign," said Thompson, questioned about it on NBC's "Meet the Press."

"I know Phil is a good man. He is my friend. He is going to remain my friend. He didn't go to jail, he got probation, he's paid his debt to society and turned himself around and become a good, productive, successful citizen," Thompson said.

He said he would talk to Martin and figure out "what the right thing is," but that "I'm not going to throw my friend under the bus for something he did, you know, 25 years ago if he's OK now."

Doesn't matter, the shovels are out and expect more to be dug up on others. Ron Paul should watch out even if the skeletons haves turned to dust, it's fair game to liberals.
