Isn't it amazing how retired elected representatives who relied on the vote of the Christian Right and mouthed support for our values end up turning on us in a heated and vicious fashion once they no longer need us?!
Dick Armey can do this with impunity knowing that Dr. Dobson is a gentleman and would never respond in kind.
Dick Armey... you are a coward, a sell-out and a turncoat. But, I still pray that you will receive the Lord and the eternal life that is His promise.

I'd think twice about criticizing with a name like Tricky Dicky.

I don't know about Dobson in specific, but I do know one of his state guys blew a chance to get some pro-Christian legislation passed because he was heavy handed in the state of Ohio. It was the guy who got the Marriage Protection amendment (Phil Burress) on the ballot. He pressed too hard on some State Senators who are friendly to his causes and torqued them off. They let some one of his pet bills die. It's only logical that if the Lt in Dobson's army didn't get scorched by being heavy handed, then Dobson must appreciate the tactics.

Dick Army has always been a libertarian. I'm going to add loony atheist to that too. Terry Schiavo is dead (due to her criminal husband) but that isn't good enough for this jackass.

I am surprised to see that because Armey went after Dobson most of the people act like he attacked all Christians. I can't stand Dobson for his way of making money off that interview he did with Ted Bundy claiming it was porno that cause him to commit all of those murders. If Dobson did his research he would have realized in the first minute that he was being used by Bundy. In my opinion, Dobson spit on all of the graves of Bundy's victims just to promote his campaign against pornography.

I think this is akin to Christine Todd Whitman (aka Christine Todd Whitless) whining abou the passing of the "go along to get along" congress.
The country club BS is dying and it shuts them out.

I'm a Christian. I'm not a big fan of Dobson. IMO, he isn't discerning enough to know where to place his trust in the political world. But he is NOT a thug.
Armey compares Christians to thugs, and the Dems compare Christians to the Mullahs.
And people wonder why Christians have sat out more then one election?
The only reason they hasven't the last few years is that the bigotry, intolerance and discrimination has become too much to ignore.
Enjoy your retirement with Whitman, Armey.

He sounds a little jealous of Dobson's success. I don't think Dobson is exactly a bully. But there are plenty of spineless congresscritters willing to crawl around him begging him to tell them what he wants.
Political preachers are generally a bad idea. Even more so when they shovel psychology into their preaching. Even worse are politicians who tell you exactly what they really think. Like ol' Dick did in this article. Back when he was in office, his staff wouldn't have let him say something this blunt.

Too outraged for words!!! Words fail what I am feeling towards Armey right now!

What is happening? This seems so odd, unless he plans something, and these remarks will make him a hero among the leftist elite. I would say that when I think of James Dobson, I think of forceful speech. I don't consider him a "bombthrower" as O'Reilly would put it, or a thug. Wasn't Dick ARmey the one who called Barney Frank, "Barney Fag"? I don't think Mr Armey should be casting aspersions on Rev Dobson.

Thugs, Mr. Armey? Christians just want the Republican party to remain the Republican party. But the party has drifted so far left that we Christians MUST speak out. I wouldn't characterize us as you so rudely do, but we're finding that it takes fire to fight fire. A good thing you are leaving because by your rhetoric, it is obvious you have been in Washington far too long. You also owe Dr. Dobson a sincere apology.
To: truthandlife
Prick Armey, we never knew you.
And now that we do, we don't like you.
Thank God and Greyhound you are gone!

Well Mr. Armey. Thanks for being honest about how you feel about me.
Why didn't you say this repetitively while the Christian right was casting votes for you?
It's because you needed us, right?

I stand with Dobson. Literally. It was my privilege to meet and briefly speak with Dr. Dobson when I drove through Colorado in May 2006. Dobson is no bully. He doesn't bat 1.000 in candidate picks or issues--but he strives to do so based on absolute truth and Biblical, Conservative principles. There are few more gracious, courageous and trustworthy men in this world.
