Every major GOP candidate (and non-candidate) has now weighed in on Falwell. Fred Thompson’s office issued this statement minutes ago: “America has lost a man of great faith, and a leader dedicated to defending the rights of all Americans to express their faith in the public square. Jeri and I wish to extend out deepest condolences to the Falwell family, and we will keep them in our prayers.”
And addressing the “crossover” issue:
“That video is amazing. One of the reasons that I wish Thompson suited my politics better, so I could vote for him (if only he could have Jerry Orbach as VP!).”
People just LIKE Fred.
Speaking of that- I remember Leon Panetta (sp) when the FRED talk first started...sometime in late Feb early March...was asked about him. He tried really hard- but simply could NOT say one negative word about Fred. He even chuckled about it...admitted what a good guy he is and some more complimentary words..
