We got your message, Mr. Dobson.

NOT Giuliani
NOT Thompson
NOT Romney
NOT McCain

Then, pray tell, who?

Instead of trying to pull down the frontrunners, perhaps Dobson and his minions should be spending their energy promoting own their man/woman for the job.

What are they doing to put forth a candidate whom we all can support?

Maybe they can use their influence to persuade Haley Barbour to run, or to push Duncan Hunter to the top of the heap. Threatening to bolt from the party or sit out the election is not going to help anyone, except Hillary.

...and perhaps Dobson and co should keep well out of party politics.
Tell us what you think Jesus would do Mr Preacher, and let us (under the influence of the Holy Spirit) make up our own minds.

The MSM overestimates the power of these religious leaders. Dobson’s limited ability to influence believers will evaporate instantly if he ever departs from scripture or if his integrity is ever suspect. Christians vote because of our core beliefs—not because some so-called kingmaker tells us what to do. Our allegiance is to the true King.

I believe Dobson was ready to throw his support to Gingrich (he had Gingrich on his show a few months back.) But since Gingrich says he won’t run, I, too, wonder who he’s backing.
I, personally, found him being an apologist for Gingrich (he gave Gingrich a platform to “explain” about his past marriages), to be a little sickening. I’ve often wondered, especially after Dobson stepped down as the President of Focus on the Family, if Dobson didn’t have political aspirations of his own.

Dobson is the Republicans’ Je$$e Jack$on. I am as conservative as they come but the “religious right” is beginning to scare the hell out of me.

***That’s what I think he should do.
