AWE, poor Dr. Dobson doesn't seem to have a Pub candidate to support! |
|
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/huff-wires/20070919/dobson-thompson/DENVER — James Dobson, one of the nation's most politically influential evangelical Christians, made it clear in a message to friends this week he will not support Republican presidential hopeful Fred Thompson.
snip
"Isn't Thompson the candidate who is opposed to a Constitutional amendment to protect marriage, believes there should be 50 different definitions of marriage in the U.S., favors McCain-Feingold, won't talk at all about what he believes, and can't speak his way out of a paper bag on the campaign trail?" Dobson wrote.
"He has no passion, no zeal, and no apparent 'want to.' And yet he is apparently the Great Hope that burns in the breasts of many conservative Christians? Well, not for me, my brothers. Not for me!"
snip
Earlier this year, Dobson said he wouldn't back John McCain because of the Arizona senator's opposition to a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.
Later, Dobson wrote on a conservative news Web site that he wouldn't support former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani should he win the Republican nomination. Dobson called Giuliani an "unapologetic supporter of abortion on demand" and criticized him for signing a bill in 1997 creating domestic-partnership benefits in New York City.
Gee, don't tell me it's actually going to be the Pub Party that finally shuts these people up!

1. I'm still waiting for little Jimmy to come outta the closet. |
|
Wonder if he and Larry Craig were lovers?

2. Has Dobson said anything about Romney yet? |
|
Seems like he's rejected all the other puke front-runners.

Which means he's probably not cool with Dobson. Plus, Romney's waffling record on social issues wouldn't inspire confidence with somebody who wants fielty.

6. I read that he is willing to support Romney (at least he was back in May)-- |
|
He will end up backing Mittens.

4. Wasn't Alan Keyes getting into the race? |
|
So, Dobson should be all set, if that is the case.
