[CanYoAssDigIt] Re: [OregonDems_etc] Thompson gives no opinion on Schiavo, can't remember details of the case

He has a political memory that doesn't go back two years. "Back in history," he said. That makes him a pretty good representation of the American people, who forgot Nixon,and elected Reagan, forgot Reagan and Bush and elected Bush II. Well, Bush II was selected, not elected, but I'll bet not one in 20 Americans remembers or cares about that!

  Thompson gives no opinion on Schiavo

     THE VILLAGES, Fla. - Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson gave no opinion Thursday when asked about efforts by President Bush and Congress to keep Terri Schiavo alive, saying he does not remember details of the right-to-die case that stirred national debate.         Thompson was asked in an interview for Bay News 9's "Political Connections" program whether he thought Congress' intervention to save the life of the brain-damaged woman two years ago was appropriate.

     "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."

Congress passed a bill after Schiavo's feeding tube was removed in March 2005 to allow a federal court to review the case, and Bush returned from his Texas ranch to sign the bill into law. But a federal judge refused to order the tube reinserted, a decision upheld by a federal appeals court and the Supreme Court. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070914/ap_po/thompson_florida;_ylt=ApYGGHaXx8ghWLBcu9pSeuOs0NUE
