James Dobson Not Supporting Thompson

It seems Dr. James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, won't be supporting Fred Thompson's bid for the presidency.

From OneNewsNow:

In a private e-mail obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press, Dobson accuses the former Tennessee senator and actor of being weak on the campaign trail and wrong on issues dear to social conservatives.

"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!"

I haven't written off my support for Thompson yet, but I agree with Dobson this far: Thompson's unwillingness to address the problem of homosexual "marriage" (which is a national issue whether Thompson likes it or not), his support of the uconstitutional assault on the First Amendment known as McCain-Feingold (aka the Incumbent Protection Act), and his reticence to be up front about his faith certainly throw a lot of cold water on the enthusiasm of millions of Christians who do take their faith seriously.
