Asked by reporters later to clarify his stance on religion, Thompson said: ``Me getting up and talking about what a wonderful person I am and that sort of thing, I'm not comfortable with that, and I don't think it does me any good. People will make up their own mind about that, and that's the way I like it.''
Christianity = "getting up and talking about what a wonderful person I am"
No, I think I understand and sadly we had to "make up" our "own mind about that".
Your propensity to believe the absolute worst about a man who has done nothing to deserve that is bizarre. Contrast that with the ability to take everything a Huckster says at face value without batting an eyelid and it becomes some sort of alternate universe. No sane person would have read the article you quoted and thought that Fred was talking about Christianity in general when he said the quote you posted.
Why you feel the need to continue to paint him in a negative light after he's dropped out is indicative that you have nothing left to fight for in the election. Which is indicative of how effective the strategy of the Evangelical Right was overall. You did get rid of Thompson. Too bad about Romney and McCain. They're the only two left with a chance. One is a Mormon who has been no friend to right-to-lifers in the past. The other will nominate judges somewhere to the left of Stephens and Souter and call them "bipartisan moderates."
