Fred Thompson: I’m Not A Churchgoer

Oh, Fred, the religious far right can’t like that.

Talking to reporters later, Thompson, a former Tennessee senator, said his church attendance “varies.”

“I attend church when I’m in Tennessee. I’m in McLean right now,” he said referring to the Virginia suburb of Washington, D.C., where he lives. “I don’t attend regularly when I’m up there.”

Thompson said he usually attends church when visiting his mother in Tennessee and isn’t a member of any church in the Washington area.

    It never mattered that GW Bush doesn’t attend church (he didn’t you know). All that matters to the X-tian right is that they hate the right people- gays, libruls, Mexicans, and Mooslims. The church part is extraneous.

    Oh, please. Shrub has never been a churchgoer. If conservatives think they’ll win by backing the Gucci Loafer, they’ll climb on board. If not, they won’t.

    I, too, attend church only when I’m in Tennessee. But I don’t hate Mexicans enough to be a GOP presidential candidate.

    It is nice that he takes his 100 year old mother to church.
