What would Dobson say to President Hillary Clinton and a continued Democratic majority, starting in January ‘09? The entire U.S. will definitely get much worse much quicker if conservatives don’t become a majority very soon, and all conservatives all over the U.S. truly need to get together and then vote in the majority for truly conservative politicians at every level in ‘07, ‘08, and beyond. Making the country much worse isn’t making the country much better, and encouraging too many conservatives to stay home on election day will only help in creating a socialistic U.S. for the long-term!
I think people here, and within the party, fail to see that Dobson is just expressing what much of the base already thinks:
Social and fiscal conservatives are battling with bluebloods for control of the party. Dobson didn’t have to tell people to stay home. Many people stayed home because they are sick of the party’s elite choosing lukewarm candidates for us.
Lukewarm candidates are people who are not passionate about what is right or wrong. Lukewarm people really don’t care what happens to their neighbors. They don’s live by fundamental principles like:
Thou shalt not kill.
Lukewarm candidates really aren’s all that concerned about abortion, which they think is just another campaign issue.
It is not.
If one does not defend innocent human life, one stands for nothing.
Dobson is looking at Fred Thompson’s record and coming to the conclusion that Fred Thompson clearly is not all that concerned about defending inocent human life. Lots of us see the same thing, and we don’t need Dobson to tell us what we see.
Did Thompson vote for most of the prolife bills put before him? Apparently, he did. Did he offer any legislation himself to counter the horror of abortion? Not that I have seen.
Does he think Roe v. Wade should be overturned? Apparently not because he keeps trying to suggest each state should decide whther or not the God-given right to life, intended for innocent human beings, should be upheld by voters, as if we have the right to condemn innocent children to more butchery.
Dobson is just reading the tea leaves that are already in front of him. Problem is: Mnay Republican insiders are not.
(hmmm...I remember something about lukewarm versus hot or cold, and how lukewarm was something one should vomit out of one’s mouth...)But I digress.
