After two hours of deliberation, we voted on a resolution that can be summarized as follows: If neither of the two major political parties nominates an individual who pledges himself or herself to the sanctity of human life, we will join others in voting for a minor-party candidate. Those agreeing with the proposition were invited to stand. The result was almost unanimous.
The other issue discussed at length concerned the advisability of creating a third party if Democrats and Republicans do indeed abandon the sanctity of human life and other traditional family values. Though there was some support for the proposal, no consensus emerged.
Speaking personally, and not for the organization I represent or the other leaders gathered in Salt Lake City, I firmly believe that the selection of a president should begin with a recommitment to traditional moral values and beliefs. Those include the sanctity of human life, the institution of marriage, and other inviolable pro-family principles. Only after that determination is made can the acceptability of a nominee be assessed.

Your words are unconscionable!...You are unconscionable!
I'm thinking you are correct. Dobson is starting to act like a grandstanding demogogue.
bvw: “Our hardest-working friends are our enemies! Bash friends! Bash Dobson!”
I totally agree with you. This is a conservative website. I don’t think any one even answered you.
Does Dobson seriously consider Mitt Romney to be an acceptable choice for President? What does Dobson think about Mitt Romney?
Well, if you literally believe Hillary Clinton is Satan, I think you'd have to go "Christian third party", right?
bvw: “Don’t elect Hillery by omission! Vote the GOP. Fight for your candidate in the primary, support whomever wins the party nod. Otherwise bow before Queen Hillary and Consort Billy Jeff”

He's not nearly as important as he cries out to be, plus, if there is any third party that takes off, it would be an independent Bloomberg run which could really cause electoral havoc to both of the two parties strategies
A pro-life single issue platform would be in a '4th' or '5th party' position. Barely a blip, a craction of a percent, not a double digit result.

You can have Alito, Scalia, Roberts (who Giuliani specifically mentioned as the kind of justices he would nominate)
OR
Stevens, Ginsberg, or Kennedy
Ya know, I’m religous, I’m right-wing, and I don’t like Rudy Guiliani as Republican candidate for president (he’d be fine as a Democrat...). But I think this Dobson person is really full of himself.
Go Fred!
This makes me think less of Dobson. These “leaders” who think they have such power that they can influence what others think and do, have an inflated view of themselves.
is not this guy
He's the equivalent of this fraud
Wikipedia says the Constitution Party is only on the ballot in 15 states, and not even as “the Constitution Party” in about half of those - so it’d have to be some sort of independent run, and I don’t know what the rules are on getting on the ballot that way.
See #139
And there is enough unrest to pull of a hijacking of the Republican conservative voters who are attracted to a “Conservative Republican Party.”
The bottom line, though, is that anyone who nominates Rudy DESIRES to lose to Hillary. They know that conservative Christians can never vote for a pro-abortion candidate.
They should switch to a candidate like Hunter, Huckabee, Thompson, who support life. As it stands, Rudy has zero chance of winning.
Why don’t you throw a temper tantrum there Dobbs?
Supporting a third party candidate will only help Hillary.
History repeats. No lesson learned. Welcome Hillary and Socialism.
So if FT is the great candidate being espoused so rabidly on every thread here, then why are so many here concerned about Rudy being nominated? This just doesn't make sense to me.
Wrong. We got Bill Clinton because we chose Bob Dole. If we get Hillary it will be because we chose Giuliani.
