You really need to lay blame on losing congress to the POTUS. His impotence on the illegal immigrant problem was and is astounding. This is where we lose enough 20 or 25 votes to control congress. The GOP only lost by 1 or 2 votes in each house.
Dobson is quite influential. Maybe he knows Fred Thompson, maybe he doesn't. I would certainly hope he knows what he stated to be true before he kills off somebody's candidacy.
Don't know much about Fred Thompson other than he seems better than the other three front runners.
Personally I was hoping we could clone Ronald Reagan (maybe make a single exception to the cloning laws).
I blame Dobson but hey you guys that support Dobson enjoy the Democrat congress we that we have now.
