Thompson Not A Churchgoer
It turns out that Fred Thompson — who was courted to join the race by many social conservatives and has been going after Christian-right support — isn't a regular churchgoer, according to Bloomberg News.
Thompson attends church with his mother when he visits her in Tennessee, but does not belong to any church or attend one in Virginia, where he currently resides.
"I know that I'm right with God and the people I love," Thompson said while campaigning in Greenville, South Carolina. However, Thompson added that it's "just the way I am not to talk about some of these things."

If a Democrat said this, the Republican right would be all over them like a cheap suit!

Look for Thompson to drum up the Law and Order factor in his attempt to get convince voters he is the uber conservative.

The Constitution requires that their be 'no religous test for public office'. That was written into our greatest document even before freedom of speech, and freedom of religion, were written in. Yet that principal - that law, that requirement - has been violated, again and again. Raped, as it were. With no one having the courage to defend it.
Thompson has a real opportunity to lead here. As a conservative republican, he could clearly answer all personal religous questions put to him with a 'that's personal....and our constitution requires that it not be a part of any Presidential election, so please don't bring it up again....I'll have to defend that Constitution as President, and that defense starts right now".
Only Nixon could go to China. Perhaps only a conservative republican candidate in 2007 can lead us back to the American path again.
