Jesusland Author Endorses Fred Thompson
A major Christian leader has endorsed Fred Thompson. This time, David Jeffers, who authored Understanding Evangelicals: A Guide to Jesusland, has given Fred Thompson a substantive endorsement that’s sure to be noted within the evangelical community. Here’s part of Mr. Jeffers’ endorsement statement:
“Evangelicals are looking for a candidate who is strongly pro-life, is for traditional families, and who is an actual Reagan Conservative.” Jeffers explains, “Every GOP candidate is espousing Reagan-like characteristics, but only Thompson has the record to back it up.”
“There are three important agendas in the Reagan Conservative and while the social agenda is certainly important, Huckabee is weak on the foreign policy and fiscal agendas,” Jeffers said.
Jeffers makes a persuasive case for Fred, which isn’t surprising. Mr. Jeffers’ articulation of Reaganite conservatism is spot on, which is why this will likely remind SC voters of the total ‘Reagan Package’. Here’s another portion of Jeffers’ statement:
“Senator Thompson has a 100% pro-life voting record, is a strong defender of 2nd Amendment rights, and is a proven fiscal conservative.”
As an evangelical Christian, I know that each of those things are important to me in screening potential presidential candidates. As I’ve said before, Fred’s the gold standard on each of those issues.
It’s time for evangelical Christians to understand that the ideal presidential candidate is more than just being pro life. I believe that they’ve come to that realization to a large extent. Now it’s time for them to make that statement at the ballotbox this Saturday.
