This article raises some interesting questions about Fred Thompson, his lobbying work, and his ethical dilemmas. They even compare him to Jack Abramoff.

If Thompson took money to lobby on behalf of a pro-choice group, told them he had multiple conversations with White House Chief of Staff John Sununu on their behalf, and never actually had those conversations, he may have committed criminal fraud. Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff is serving over 5 years in Federal prison for taking money from Native American tribes to lobby on their behalf and then doing the opposite.

On the other hand, if Thompson did serve as a paid lobbyist for a pro-choice organization, then his claim to be the one potential Republican presidential candidate to fully embrace the "pro-life" cause is a fraud. He was willing to sell it out to the highest bidder.

wow. Interesting questions. link here.
