It's funny how sexual immorality ceases to be an issue for you when we're discussing Democrats. With Clinton even when he committed perjury, the mantra was: "It's just sex, it doesn't affect how he does his job".
Funny how the tune changes when we're discussing a Republican.
The same regarding Mark Foley, when so many Democrats had more clearly violated the law and had sex (gay and heterosexual) with under-age interns. Not only did Democrats not call for charges, in most cases they re-elected them.

Mitt Romney had to walk a fine line, as a Republican governor in a liberal state. He sure takes a hard stance on immigration, which is the reason I support him.

Regarding Fred Thompson, I have some reservations about how qualified he is compared to the others, but I don't see who he previously represented as a problem. I'm sure you could dig up quite a few unsavory clients represented by Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards. That's as much a red herring as saying Arnold Schwarzenegger's father was an officer for the Nazi SS. It's irrelevant. Thompson himself didn't do the things you allege by association.
Wikipedia doesn't mention "burning tire" lobbying controversy that you do, so I can only assume it's a liberal-partisan fabrication, on the part of the fanatics at MediaMatters.
