while Dobson didn’t believe Thompson belonged to a non-Christian faith, he "has never known Thompson to be a committed Christian – someone who openly talks about his faith.

So Dobson would presumably prefer Newt Gingrich--who spent his career womanizing, and then conveniently "repents" to Dobson just before embarking on a Presidential campaign? THAT is a sincere "Christian"? Give me a break.

Apparently Dobson has taken over the role once filled by Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and a bunch of others:
"You have to go through me first, I'm the most important player". There couldn't be anything more tiresome, or useless. I recall a positively pathetic picture on the front page of the New York Times a day or two after the Sean Bell shooting in the Bronx (the guy who was about to get married, out at a strip club or whatever it was with friends) The picture shows Al Sharpton, looking appropriately aggrieved,teary-eyed, nearly immobile with sadness, and in serious need of public ego-stroking, standing face to face with Mayor Bloomberg, who is only too willing to play his part as another "player" and hold both Sharpton's arms above the elbow with his hands,looking him straight in the eye, literally "reaching out". This image was so emblematic of both the cynical nature of photo-ops and the media game played by the political players , that I made a point of storing this issue of the TIMES away for posterity. The same type of thing goes on, a hundred times a day among the political class. And it always makes me puke. And the worst thing about the omnipresence of Dobson for the last 10 years, is how gleefully the MSM reports on him, and if he is some kind of Leading Light/Philosopher King of the Republican Party or Conservatism: he is nothing of the sort---I know he has both hard and soft supporters, but at most , they account for about 5 % of Republicans.

Do any of you actually know what a real Christian is? I do.
