		Thompson, who's not the first candidate this year to be linked to a donor with a criminal past, seemed to brush off the news.
		Thompson said that none of the contributions raised by Martin, who's head of a group called "first day founders," are "improper." He did not indicate that he would return any of the funds from Martin.

		Thompson, a former senator from Tennessee, said it might be time to reconsider the country's long-standing practice -- one prescribed by the Constitution -- of granting citizenship to any child born on U.S. soil.

	Fred Thompson starts South Carolina campaign leg - Nashville, Tennessee - Monday, 09/10/07 - Tennessean.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Fred Thompson is undoubtedly the most accomplished actor of all of the presidential candidates, and I enjoyed listening to him recently when he filled in for Paul Harvey and read his folksy-but-scripted commentaries on the news.
		Fred is great with a script and a Web site, but the problem is that the presidency is only 2 percent scripted show business.
		The fact is that Fred Thompson apparently wasted a lot of opportunity and accomplished little during his many years as a U.S. Senator, and then proceeded to rake in the cash during the "W" years as a D.C. "Good Ole' Lobbyist." Nothing illegal, but not very inspiring, either.
