Oh, and by the way, I’m a former youth pastor, so my Christian credentials are solid.

With apologies to The Princess Bride, "No good. I've known too many youth pastors."

All humor aside, I agree 100% with you. Sen. Thompson is one of the few candidates unwilling to impose a "social conservative" agenda upon the States. He is one of the few who takes federalism seriously - at least to the extent that Sen. Thompson takes **anything** seriously.

There's the rub, and the reason I am hesitant to support Sen. Thompson. What's he done? He has less of a record than even Barack Obama!

“Most ignorant statement ever” award.

Was Obama a Watergate counsel?
Did Obama take down a sitting governor in a corruption probe?
Did Obama spend his last days in the Senate fighting tooth and nail to keep unions from “protecting” the employees of the new formed Homeland Security Department?
Has Obama ever been asked to serve on quasi-governmental boards discussing the national security threats to the United States?
Did Obama ever write a treatise on government waste and how to curb government spending?

Hmm?

HUH?? Obama has been in the US Senate for what,2 1/2 yrs? Or is it 4 1/2?,and would have lost to Ryan if his sealed divorce records hadn't been published.

By the way. Just how much Experience did Lincoln have before he was elected?
