Stuff like this is why not a single major talking point on the evangelical Christian agenda has been advanced. Dobson won't support Fred Thompson, not because he has political views that are hostile to the political goals of conservatives, social conservatives in particular, but because he is pretty sure that Thompson isn't a Christian.
Call me naive, call me anti-Christ, but I could have sworn that we are choosing a political leader for a secular state, not the next emperor of Christian Constantinople, an American evangelical pope or something along those lines. Isn't it just a little more important to have a President with solidly conservative and at least mildly libertarian credentials, who is a secularist at heart, than have a President who is a professing Christian, but has an affinity for Socialism and globalism? Apparently not according to Dobson.
I'm not familiar with Thompson's voting record when he was a senator. Apparently a lot of people think he is a principled conservative, which makes him sound a lot better than most of the other Republican contenders at first glance. Considering the fact that Dobson is down with George Bush, a man who has been largely repudiated by actual conservatives, I just don't trust anything that Dobson has to say about endorsing politicians.
