“Id heard about the not a Christian thing, but I guess I missed the news when this second slam against Thompson came out. Would someone please clue me in? What was it, anyway, that Dobson said against Thompson?”
Here you go

“Everyone knows he’s conservative and has come out strongly for the things that the pro-family movement stands for,” Dobson said of Thompson. “[But] I don’t think he’s a Christian; at least that’s my impression,” Dobson added, saying that such an impression would make it difficult for Thompson to connect with the Republican Party’s conservative Christian base and win the GOP nomination.
Mark Corallo, a spokesman for Thompson, took issue with Dobson’s characterization of the former Tennessee senator. “Thompson is indeed a Christian,” he said. “He was baptized into the Church of Christ.”
In a follow-up phone conversation, Focus on the Family spokesman Gary Schneeberger stood by Dobson’s claim. He said that, while Dobson didn’t believe Thompson to be a member of a non-Christian faith, Dobson nevertheless “has never known Thompson to be a committed Christiansomeone who talks openly about his faith.”
I didn’t realize the “anti-Christian” comment was made so many months ago. Dobson’s apparently been against Fred from the beginning.
Wonder who he’s really shilling for.....
From what Dobson has said, I think this is essentially correct. I don't want a president who "talks openly about his faith". Words are cheap, I want a president who lives his faith.
The last two Democrat presidents have talked about their faith. One was even a Sunday School teacher in an evangelical church, and we all know how bad he was.
