the faith of political leader ought to be irrelevant, since they have no authority to impose their religion or values on others.  we should be careful in selecting our leaders who will preserve the individual rights of everyone to be free from any such impositions.  

so i can't really say whether or not dobson lacks support for thompson for a reason that i agree with, but i can safely say that thompson has not been a consistent politician and does not defend conservative principles vehemently enough.  

he voted for sarbanes-oxley, he voted to increase the debt limit,  he has voted numerous times to restrict hand-gun ownership.  his lobbyist connections are also of concern, and not just his work for a pro-abortion group.
