"Isn't Thompson the candidate who is opposed to a Constitutional amendment to protect marriage, believes there should be 50 different definitions of marriage in the U.S., favors McCain-Feingold, won't talk at all about what he believes, and can't speak his way out of a paper bag on the campaign trail?" Dobson wrote.
"He has no passion, no zeal, and no apparent 'want to.' And yet he is apparently the Great Hope that burns in the breasts of many conservative Christians? Well, not for me, my brothers. Not for me!"

   Fred Thompson, to his credit, stated, " I won't dance to any body's tune".

As a response to Dr Dobson's letter I started my first Blog to tell others the truth about this issue.  You can read it at (http://federalistfred.blogspot.com/).   It is ironic that Dr Dobson risked loosing his FOTF non-profit status with the IRS to support Bush yet won't support a better candidate in Thompson.
    As for Giuliani, he defiantly does not stand for pro-life.  Yet, he says he intends to appoint conservative judges, and he will support strong defense & conservative economics.  McCain has very shaky economics but strong defense and leans to the conservative side of family issues. Romney has said that he is now pro-life and has a strong economics history as governor of Massachusetts.  However, for most evangelicals his Mormonism is a real concern. (I don't believe his Mormon faith disqualifies him for the presidency.)   The truth is that any of these candidates would be superior to Clinton.  
     I learned the hard way when Bill Clinton was running the first time.  Wanting my vote to count I voted for Ross Perot even though I was sure he wouldn't win.  I didn't like either Bush or Clinton for president, thus voting for "None Of The Above".  In reality someone is going to win.  I learned that we have to pick the lesser of two evils sometimes or get the worst picked for us.  We all need to unite and back a candidate that has a realistic chance of winning or face another eight years of the Clintons.
       I am going to pray for wisdom and the Lords hand on this nation.  Then I am going to send an e-mail to (http://family.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/family.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=14190) and postal mail to Dr. Dobson asking him to consider  what the long term consequences a Clinton presidency  will have on the Family and the unborn.  I am asking everyone to do the same.  In addition, if you would send this e-mail to all those who stand with us as family and pro-life supporters, it could make a big difference.  Shane
