Gary Bauer: Don't Burn Bridges

According to Ethan Cole at the Christian Post reports that Gary Bauer, while not offering a glowing endorsement, is encouraging Evangelicals to at least consider supporting Fred. His reason is largely practical--there are no others in the top tier that are as close to the "conservative Christian" position as FDT. Bauer says:

“He (Thompson)’s obviously against same-sex marriage. He doesn’t support quite the same constitutional amendment that some of the others of us do, but he’s been talking with us about it, and has been moving closer and closer on the amendment,” said Bauer, who is president of American Values, according to OneNewsNow.

“So I hope that we can, as a movement, be very wise about this, and not savage candidates that we may very well have to support in 2008 if they’re running against Hillary Clinton.”
