A couple of interesting things here...

1) "No child left behind" predates the Terri Schaivo case, and yet he can't remember the more recent?

2) His opinions on "No child left behind" are almost a verbatum quote from the NEA.

Before I read this I was much more positively inclined towards Thompson.

The more I hear out of Fred the less I’m impressed. Maybe he should have waited until January to get into the race.

See post # 18.

You must not have read all his comments because he branched off significantly from the NEA when he put the responsibility back on the parents and his complaint was that the boards who oversee this aren't answerable to the parents.

Before I read this I was much more positively inclined towards Thompson.

That's why you made comments in the past like "I've got too much self respect to vote for him", (He) "play a politician on the Tee Vee", "Hunter is the only Republican candidate that I find interesting. The rest seem to be "Dems in disguise"", "Hunter's judges would be (far) better than Thompson's", "Fred Thompson has all the credentials to be "just another insider"".... No positive inclination anywhere in there...

I like what another poster said. Everyone should disclose who they endorse so at least we can judge motivation (and honesty in this case.) You are doing Hunter no favors by trying these little tricks.

Based on this post you've only known him as somebody other than an actor since 9/6/2007. You said at that time:

Regarding Fred Thompson, all I know about him is that he's been an actor on TV and in the movies, and that he's from my home state of Tennessee. I've got too much self respect to vote for him based solely on those criteria.

So you weren't REALLY very "positively inclined" towards Thompson before now, were you?
