Sometimes the most honorable thing a politician can do is lay down his political life and die for the larger cause. I think Dornan is one of those folks. He has become something of an embarrassment.

Bob Dornan is principled... not an embarassment. If half the politicians in our country had the that he does our country would be far better off than it is. His passion makes him likeable!

I like Bob Dornan, but I doubt he's going to get very far being "The Republican who campaigns like a Democrat."
Sadly, "B-1 Bob" has become a living anachronism.

Dornan wasn't a bad guy, and he was betrayed by his fellow Republicans when Sanchez stole the first election and they voted to seat her. But this was a stupid thing to do. It wrecks whatever reputation he has left.

Question: If Dornan was interested in changing DC, why is he not running for US Senate--that way he only has to run every six years instead of two?!
He ran against another conservative and now looks like an idiot.

Every politician needs to be on the receiving end of a spotlight now and then. Their actions need examination and their motives need to be analyzed. Dana Rohrabacher has been overdue for a little bright light and Bob Dornan put him there like no one else could.
I love every idiosyncratic bone in Bob Dornan's body. There are men for times of peace and there are men for times of war. We need a few more like Bob Dornan right now.
They might embarrass you when the moment calls for tact but when the chips are down and your side needs to play or fold you know that men with backbone like Dornan will take the heat, stand up, and play. You know which side they're on and you know they'll be there when they're needed, not off playing CYA.
I was glad to see Dornan on the stage again and I hope we haven't seen the last of him.
From Bob Dornan's website:
"...For over thousand years marauding Islamic warriors tried to conquer the known world. Then in 1683 A.D. after a two month siege of Vienna with the conquest of all Europe in the balance, Polish Calvary led by a 72 year old prince destroyed the Muslim forces on "September 11th". Osama picked that very date to strike America 318 years later. For three centuries the Muslim's assaults were bloody but confined to piracy, the Balkans and genocide of 1,500,000 Armenians while Europe typically turned its back. Now starting in the 1980's with increasing ferocity the dark side of Islamic expansionism has returned with a jealous vengeance and gone inter-continental..."
