It’s Not!

Tags: Dobson, Fred Thompson, Presidency
Friends,
I just read this at WND:
Responding for the first time to James Dobson’s rejection of his presidential candidacy, former Tennessee senator Fred Thompson suggested in a television interview broadcast last night he didn’t think the Focus on the Family founder’s opinion of him was representative of evangelical Christian leaders.
Asked by the Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity whether it would be helpful to have a conversation with Dobson, Thompson replied, “I have no idea. I don’t particularly care to have a conversation with him.”
“If he wants to call up and apologize again, you know, it’s OK with me,” Thompson said. “But I’m not going to dance to anybody’s tune.”
And I don’t think he should either. He should run for the presidency on his own personal integrity, on what he believes, and on what he believes he can accomplish. He doesn’t need James Dobson’s approval or opinion.
Good for you, Senator!

Life Under the Blue Sky
Thanks for visiting with me for a little while. I hope you find something here that is helpful or encouraging in some way. There's a lot here and I hope that what it shows is a little or a lot of growth on my part. That said, some of the older stuff you find in here may not be all that helpful. I used to be rather graceless and judgmental. Much of that has changed as I have grown more and more accustomed to the grace of God. I will also be changing the format here soon. For now I have been blogging sermons and lessons (and I will continue that), but in the not too distant future this blog will be overhauled to reflect more changes taking place in my life. Thanks again for the visit and as always, feel free to leave a comment. jerryOther Blog Links
