Perhaps that is because of the people who repeatedly come on with a list of “questions” about Thompson when they already know the answers.

I love answering sincere questions, but they are few and far between. Mostly it’s “You are stupid, you only like him because he’s an actor, you haven’t done any research.”

We are mostly really sick of it.

Those things may be true, but the supporters of other candidates have also seen a great deal of stupidity and negativity towards their candidates. The Romney supporters have had to deal with dozens of the "Mormons believe they are gods on their way to another planet" threads. They get the full range "flip flop" accusations on all kinds of issues. I'm a Duncan Hunter supporter, and I get thoroughly tired of the "he can't win" posts or the "isolationist" posts.

We need to look at all of these strengths and weaknesses in all of the candidates. The questions don't go away just because we're tired of dealing with them. To the extent that the supporters of one candidate seem more likely to lead with an insult when someone says something that they don't like, those individuals who lead with an insult may be driving support from their candidate. I don't remember your doing anything of that nature, so I'm not accusing you personally.
