Anyone who would sell out their religious principles because they think someone “could win” or believer the Murdoch media that a certain metrosexual greasy politician with a whore for a wife is “tough” deserves to be called out as a sap.
What is this...a little common sense?
Senator Fred Thompson is by far the most conservative of the top three GOP candidates (Romney and Giuliani being the other two). John McCain is finished, kaput, toast, yesterday’s newspaper. Conservatives (including Evangelicals) should back Fred Thompson, or get used to the term “Madam President” IMHO.
When the poll shows 43% of voters are looking at moral values, perhaps common sense needs to be defined correctly...
Is Ron Paul in line with moral values?
Perhaps, i think Fred is as well.
I agree, and Fred is just fine with both his values and his common sense.
Let me ask you Rudder, is divorce a factor in your opinion of Fred?
For me, Rudy’s litany of divorces doesn’t speak well of the man, Fred had one so I can’t just say “It’s fine” but he does seem very principled in his positions.
Fred’s the most conservative? NOT! Family values? Definitely NOT! Fred will NOT get my vote (and keep the Evangelicals out of it. They’re a cult).
A cult...very nice.
“keep the Evangelicals out of it”...spoken like a true liberal.
Fred’s one divorce and the on-going good relation speaks well for him, far better than Rudy’s record. My personal opinion is that faulting a candidate for one divorce is expecting perfection. How many Presidents have had one divorce?
Please fill me in on why Fred Thompson doesn’t meet your standards. I really am curious.
As if anyone else did.
This is sure breathtaking information.
Hmmm... doesn't look like the Dems have a sure pick either. Who would a thunk it?
How many Presidents have had one divorce?
Only one. It seems Republicans divorce alot. I guess it is just one of our parties negatives. One divorce will not kill Fred if everything else is good.
Gods in charge.
It worked with Reagan.
God will vote for Fred.
“I agree, and Fred is just fine with both his values and his common sense.”
I think if Fred officially enters the race, he’ll run away with both the Southern vote, and the evangelical vote at large.
Though most people overlook him, I believe that Duncan Hunter best represents my faith as a Christian. Of the candidates, he probably has done the most supporting Christianity and Christian valves. Not only has he introduced the Right to Life Act which would provide protection to all human life from the moment of conception but also he has introduced amendments which have prevented the Mt. Soledad Veterans Memorial Cross from being taken down by the ACLU and have supported military chaplains in their ability to pray in Jesus’ name. In addition, he is the only candidate who has promised as President to nominate only pro-life judges. Duncan Hunter also claims to be born-again and attends a Southern Baptist church regularly.
