The barbarians are at the gate!

Amid a blizzard of disheartening polls a month out from the general election, the John McCain-Sarah Palin Republican ticket got some great news this afternoon:
A clear go-ahead signal to millions of evangelicals across the country from Dr. James Dobson, founder and chairman of FocDr James Dobson founder and chairman of Focus on the Family who radio program and newsletters reach millions of evangelicals approves a vote for the Republican ticket of John McCain and Sarah Palinus on the Family, to vote for the GOP ticket. It couldn't have come at a better time given more polls showing a Democratic lead on the eve of the next presidential debate, tomorrow night in Nashville.
On his radio broadcast today to hundreds of stations Dobson said, "America's future seems to hang in the balance."
Reading from his October newsletter, Dobson said he would not endorse a candidate for president. He then proceeded to endorse a candidate for president.
"It’s probably obvious which of the two major candidates’ views are most palatable to those of us who embrace a pro-life, pro-family worldview," Dobson said.
"While I will not endorse either candidate this year, (in fact, I’ve only endorsed one presidential nominee in my life) I can say that I am now supportive of Senator John McCain and his bid for the presidency."
A distinction without a difference for a Republican ticket that desperately needs an energized family values base determined to vote despite what seem increasing odds.

The barbarians are at the gate!
Dobson has been backing McCain for several weeks now. He really is a model citizen here in Colorado Springs. The liberals love to say “Focus on you’re own d*** family
Good, we need the boost.
I do believe Dobsons followers were going to vote the right way anyway...but maybe he can get them to actually VOTE and not sit home and let God "handle" it.....
“But McCain’s selection as his VP running mate of Palin, the governor of Alaska and a mother of five who walked the pro-life walk with her recent Downs baby as well as talked it, seems to have sealed the Dobson nod for the GOP ticket.”
Is the reason Palin?
Is this Big? How Big?
He mentions that He only Endorsed 1 other President, do you know who?
If conservatives weren’t so afraid of being labeled mean and intolerant they’d win more elections. It has been by allowing the left to blur the distinction on fiscal and social issues that has hurt the GOP. I’m not a super duper fan of Dobson but we need the support of everyone for this last battle. Now I hope Christian organizations pony up some money for ads not just for McCain but for the conservatives in Senate and House races.
I assumed as much. Of course, the left will come up with some twisted controversy about Dobson within the next 24 hours, no doubt.
we know for a fact that we had hussien taking what I call bribes for his protection of his rich buddies at fannie mae and freddi.. I read somewhere that hussien was a top recipient of that other crook at Lehman bros.
I don't know if there will be talk radio if hussein takes over......
GW Bush
I wasn’t expecting that.....
Yes that is what is important. How are you cherry? Are you the cherry I know from Texas?
So true,so true.
Dobson, the Kingmaker?
Dobson, convince the bio-fuel Iowans voting for barry, the alternative energy nut who brought us the $4.00 box of dry cereal.
