This time it is a separate thread by jy22077. Thanks for the ping to Calpernia.
There can be no doubt that Thompson’s flip-flops on the right to life and the Terri Schiavo case, as examined in several of my columns, have been extremely detrimental to his candidacy. He is registering at only four percent in New Hampshire, even behind Ron Paul.
The latest installment of this seemingly never-ending saga was Thompson’s November 18 interview with George Stephanopoulos, in which the former Senator said “I didn’t know that,” but concurred when told by Stephanopoulos that Terri Schiavo, who was starved to death in 2005 by her estranged husband, was “brain dead” and that autopsies had proven that. The implication was that she didn’t deserve to live.
Thompson’s exact comments were “I didn’t know that, you know, at the time that was all kicking around and everybody was asking my opinion based on what was in the newspaper.”

It is so easy to see our battle against dark forces in the grimmest of terms. We fight a battle against bitter opponents and may figure ourselves justified in a serious frown or two.
Today, reflecting on Thanksgiving, I recall how T'wit would have put it, likely, with light humor, how much we all have and the abundance of grace for which we should be truly thankful.
In that lighter tone, I hope all will have a Thanksgiving like we intend here in the rainy, drippy gloom of Maine early winter, a cheer and optimism that life is pretty good and full of good friendships on our side of the street.
An optimistic Thanksgiving to all...
