Your End Of the Week Fred Thompson Fix
James "I get to decide who's Christian and who's not" Dobson doesn't think much of Senator Thompson's potential candidacy. The Freepers react with something between a stifled yawn and righteous indignation:.
...
I agree. It's a joke. I am not a fan of Dobson because of things like this. He has earthly political goals. Newt has kissed his ring, Thompson hasn't so Newt gets the good christian certification. I don't think James Dobson should be our kingmaker.
...
I think Mr. Dobson should quit while he is behind.
One of our crazy liberal friends - not like "he's a liberal so he's crazy", but "he's crazy even for a liberal" - described the Freeper reaction as "eerily sane-ish." Our conclusion: Fred Thompson brings out the best in everybody. Except, apparently, in James Dobson.
In other news, a reader who's deeply plugged into California conservative politics wrote in about the quiet groundswell of Fred support that's been building:
He goes on to say that the speaker wasn't particularly enthused about Thompson - and that this skepticism did not sit well with the crowd at all. A true grassroots conservative who's also deeply ethical and thoughtful? Sign. Us. Up.
