IMO, Fred’s decline in the polls seems to have begun when he said of the Schiavo case (on 9/13)

“I can’t pass judgment on it. I know that good people were doing what they thought was best,” Thompson said. “That’s going back in history. I don’t remember the details of it.”

It certainly took the wind out of my sails. :(

I thought Terri Schiavo was a tragedy as well. But...r
Do you really think Congress can come in and pass special bill every time there is a miscarriage of justice, even a serious one, at the state level? The intention was good, but such a policy is bad.

So, because Thompson wasn’t as deeply immersed in the story as we here at FR were, he’s not a good candidate? Illogical.

Looking back over your posts, I find no “wind in your sails” to begin with concerning FRed.

No harm, no foul, eh?

At least Thompson’s voting record has been consistanley pro-life, which is more than can be said of the other top tier candidates.

Do you really think that nobody is aware of your posting history?

In Rasmussen, Thompson hit his high water mark a full two weeks later. This was the point at which the full press of negative articles kicked in and his numbers began to shrink.

Dear sweet lord in heaven.

Did you really just dredge up the Schiavo case, and blame his drop in the polls on that statement?

Sounds like you need a vacation from politics for a bit.
