"If he wants to call up and apologize again, that's ok with me. But I'm not going to dance to anybody's tune."

That's my guy.

Beautiful response. Fred is his own man, and that is going to resonate throughout his campaign, and is something that will pull in people who might otherwise disagree with one or more of his positions.

That was an excellent response from Thompson. Dobson was way off base to say what he did. It’s people like him that give the religious right a bad name.

If mclame can kick the Christians off the ‘truth’ bus....Fred will be different, and kick the Christians out of his ‘red’ truck.

My take on Fred is he is not as conservative as I would like, but he is conservative enough. He is not my first choice and I am still supporting Duncan Hunter, but I could vote for him. I can’t vote for Rino Rudy.

Frankly Dobson has been a real jerk to Thompson and I think Fred made it very clear that he will kiss no ones ring to be President. I thought it was refreshing and laudable.

btw, remember Dobson said he didn’t believe Thompson to be a Christian.

Yep, that’s my Fred. Who does this Dobson character think he is?

Notice that Rudy hasn’t said anything about Rush and the leftists who attack free speech. Anyone else hear anything from Rudy?

Principles, that’s what you need to be President. Something Hillary Matters doesn’t understand.

Apparently Thompson didn’t kiss Dobson’s ring (or whatever it is he likes to have kissed) so he is being blackballed by the self appointed religious leader. Go Thompson, get the nomination. Go Dobson, I don’t care where just go.

Well, I guess Thompson won’t be getting Dobson’s vote. Seems like none of the declared candidates will be getting Dobson’s vote.

It looks like the Christian political movement has come full circle. Before Falwell, Christians stayed at home and made no impact on the political process. Then Falwell changed that. Christians pretty much ran the show for 20 years. Now Christians are going back to sulking in the corner.

Outstanding. Hooray Fred! Our differences are microscopically insignificant when compared with those who lie to us, want to enslave us and want to kill us.

Good for Fred.

About time someone put this jackass in his place.

I bet this all started because Fred wouldn't pimp one of his books.

I am a Christian and I do not demand that my president publicly declare his faith

I want a president that will uphold the Constitution,defend our borders and stay out of my wallet.

I figure if that president believes in the Constitution I will still be able to worship in my church.

Mr. Dobson has the right to say what he does not speak for me, I make up my own mind and I would hope his followers will do the same.

Besides, Jimmy Carter claims himself as a Christian and we are not impressed.

If someone I had never met and didn’t know made a public statement, or a statement that he knew would go public, that I was not a Christian.....I would have told that person AND the horse he rode in on, to take a hike too.

I don’t see where he said, “Take a hike.”

Is NRO misrepresenting Fred’s response so as to denigrate Dobson?
