I support Dobson and I support Fred. I think Dr. Dobson is mistaken in his criticism of Fred and should be using his influence to help him - like how about a private meeting to discuss the issues of concern and share the gospel, rather than alienating? All in all Fred is solid down the line on all issues of concern to this social conservative Christian voting for a President not a preacher. If Dobson has a problem with the Federal Marriage Act vs. Federalism, that is worth a discussion. Fred will need all the prayers and wisdom he can get.

This is excellent and wise advise. Dobson and Billy Graham are not truly comparable because Graham was a theologist and preacher, but Dobson is not a pastor, he is a child psychologist who is also an evangelical Christian. He doesn't even seem to have adults figured out, IMHO. I find him grating and stubborn in his retro mannerisms. That said, he has been an invaluable leader and galvanizer of Christians to take an interest in their political fate. His Citizen magazine is a terrific resource.

I agree with your post for the most part. I think there is something underlying Dobson's take on Thompson, either a rumor that he believes, or something he knows, or something personal. Regardless, he's said negative things twice that hit the public, so he's definitely against Thompson at this point.
