I guess James Dobson ain’t with Fred:
–
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? 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!
–
Ouch.

Hi Bob,From everything I know, Huckabee seems to be a decent guy, but to be honest, I don’t really consider him a serious presidential contender. He’s got a few big-govt. tendencies too many, and I can’t imagine him coming even close to edging out Rudy, Mitt or Fred. As for me, I think the best, most realistic hope for conservatism in general, and the Culture War in particular, lies with Mitt Romney, for reasons I lay out here:http://rightcal.blogspot.com/search/label/romney

*Yawn* everybody knows Mitt used to be pro-choice. But so was Fred. Unlike the buffoons over at Fred File, most of us are actually honest enough to admit our candidate’s flaws.Better luck next time, Michael.
