ditto.
Cute.
Pray very hard. With fasting.
What you said--you are right on the money!
Yeah, those Christians are ruining it for everyone.
I suppose FR is open to anti-Christians such as yourself....
Amen, Dr. Dobson, amen!
Speaking also as a private individual; I would not, could not, should not, nor will not vote mclame under any circumstances, either.
My dear.... tough
You mean the anti-religious, pro-abortion, pro gun control "moderates"? I think you meant to say LIBERALS.
Dobson's entitled to his opinion, but I'm one conservative who will fight like hell to get McCain elected, if he's the nominee.
Those who stay home or vote for third parties will reap what they sow (Now there's a Bible ref. for ya, Jimmy!)
Social and fiscal conservatism were able to co-exist until very recently because the fundamentalists and their "My way or the highway" attitude were always relegated to the fringe where they belonged. Remember that Bush is still hugely popular with the religious right crowd, even though in many ways he is just as much of a RINO as McCain or Rudy are accused of being. Social conservatism in the name of God is simply Stateism.
Do you suppose Reagan voted for Ford in 76? You bet he did.
And if he were alive in 08, he'd vote for McCain. Guess that makes him soft on principle, too.
Agree with every point. The "you'll just elect hillary crowd" though won't listen though.
Your category is called "social liberals," I think, and their fab ideas from the Great Society fraud, to abortion on demand, to euthanasia, to gay marriage have devastated this nation over the past 40 years.
Social conservatives have steadfastly resisted these gross evils. Social conservatives are the procreating and family-honoring core life force of the Republican Party. They are not a fringe element.
Social conservatives can survive without social liberals--regardless of which party the social liberals identify with.
Social liberals cannot survive without social conservatives to do the heavy lifting in supporting traditional families and honoring traditional virtues that social liberals disdain.
Thanks for sharing. It is always a pleasure.
That about sums it up...but I'd take HIS "old, mean and crazy" over Hillary's....
So...Dobson was for Haggard then against him then kinda for him. Maybe. The he is gonna engage in renewal pastoring with Haggard then withdraws. Now he's against McCain after being for him. Kinda maybe...
I don't think very highly of Dobson. He has the distinct odor of opportunist about him.
McCain's chance came and went in 2000.
Prediction:
A lot of FReepers ignore the fact that single/married Democrat women stayed home in the last election. John Kerry was no inspiration.
If they get someone like Obama on the ticket (think Oprah)...the Dems will be formidable.
It might be Hillary at the helm...it might be Al Gore. Who knows, as yet?
Dobson is an old nasty crank with no desire to win the White House for anyone with even a PERCENTAGE of our beliefs.
There's a Ronald Reagan quote that many FReepers have used about compromise to get at least a percentage of your ultimate end. I am looking for it.
Indeed. Dobson probably thinks that his position on Giuliani is so self-evident that he hardly needs to admit it. Personally, I would at least consider the idea of a John McCain (though I will not vote for him in the primary), whereas sadly I would not vote for Giuliani.
