This was very early on with Fred Thompson, and at that point that's why Dobson used the qualifier "think."
I don't "think" he's a Christian does not mean, "He is not a Christian."
It means "I don't think that's true." or "I don't think it's a full moon tonight." or "I don't think dogs really eat cats."
It is a word of uncertainty. That is why he follows up with the expression, "at least that's my IMPRESSION."
Those who insist on Giulian will lead to the election of Hillary.
To vote for Giuliani would cause me to violate God's commandments.
Dobson knew exactly what he was doing when he said that. If his priority was the truth he would have:
a) done some research or
b)asked to meet with Fred Thompson to discuss his faith
_before_ opening his mouth.
Maybe the good Dr. should truly Focus on the Family and let politics take care of itself.
