All the bigotry and hatred being projected at the Mormon Church and at Romney because he is a member is one of the reasons that I dropped my support for Thompson and decided to back Mitt Romney. While I can't agree with all of his politics, I can't stand to see a good man or his Christian faith slandered. You can bet that I'm not the only one who feels this way or who has made or will make the switch.
I don’t blame Fred Thompson for the fact that some of his supporters are bigots -— but the reactions to Romney by many of the so-called Christian conservatives has been stunning. I suppose a divorced “Christian” is more acceptable than a faithful Mormon. (And, no, I don’t know anything about the circumstances of Fred’s divorce, but it doesn’t seem he’s in the same league as Guiliani, McCain and Newt on that one.)

Fred's not doing anything wrong, and he's much more conservative than Mitt. So what are you gaining?

You were NEVER a supporter of Fred Thompson. You are a member of a small group of posters on FR who like to say "I used to support Fred". I don't believe any of them. Including, and especially, you.
