Evangelical Leader Threatens to Use His Political Muscle Against Some Demo
the Christian whack job patrol is gearing up to take your lives away from you! This asshole is the one who pushed the whole "submissive wife" bullshit in his Focus on the Family series. Everytime I look at Laura Bush, that is what a see, a Dobson clone.

The dems better gear up and launch a similar attack, like display a threat that we are going to have BULLS FUCKING EYE on them if they continue to erode our rights!!!

COLORADO SPRINGS - James C. Dobson, the nation's most influential evangelical leader, is threatening to put six potentially vulnerable Democratic senators "in the 'bull's-eye' " if they block conservative appointments to the Supreme Court.

In a letter his aides say is being sent to more than one million of his supporters, Dr. Dobson, the child psychologist and founder of the evangelical organization Focus on the Family, promises "a battle of enormous proportions from sea to shining sea" if President Bush fails to appoint "strict constructionist" jurists or if Democrats filibuster to block conservative nominees.

Dr. Dobson recalled the conservative efforts that helped in the November defeat of Senator Tom Daschle of South Dakota, the Senate minority leader who led Democrats in using the filibuster to block 10 of Mr. Bush's judicial nominees.

"Let his colleagues beware," Dr. Dobson warned, "especially those representing 'red' states. Many of them will be in the 'bull's-eye' the next time they seek re-election."

2. With Harry Reid at the helm the Democrats
will roll over and give Bush most if not all of his nominees. They will claim they are doing this in the name of "healing" the country following a bitter presidential campaign.

The Democrats have forgotten how to FIGHT for something. Instead they vere further and further to the right, thinking that Rev Dobson and his ilk will like them if they become more Republican like. What they fail to understand is that as long as there is a D following their name, they will forever be percieved as the other.

I look forward to the day when people whisper the word conservative or call it the C word as many now do with liberal. Surely that day will come.

We might have the upper hand on midterms. Let's just hope he's venting some hot air. Here's a link to the states that are up: http://politikoll.blogspot.com/
