“Winning the presidential election is vitally important, but not at the expense of what we hold most dear.”

It appears that Dobson would rather see Hillary as president...and witness retreat in the jihad, a nuclear Iran, National Healthcare and no less than 3 Hillary appointed USSC Justices...than to vote for Rudy.

That's a man of principal, yessiree.

“It appears that Dobson would rather see Hillary as president”

Or his values are just more important than which liberal occupies the oval office in 2008.

Sean interviewed Dobson today and what really has me upset is the vitriol in his leaked, private email about Fred Thompson... a man whom he has never met... and the words that he used to describe his perceived faults... let us just say that it was not very Christian. Dobson has a dark side to him. I never have seen it before today... I was a huge admirer of his and watched his program quite often. He is not what he appears to be.IMHO, YMMV etc.

The simple fact is that any vote not cast, or one cast for a 3rd party out of "conscience" is a vote for whoever won.

A conservative with a conscience protesting the nominee by failing to vote for the Republican in an election where the Democrat wins has effectively voted for the Democrat. Anyone remember 1992 and 1996?

How can anyone speaking of being true to their conscience not vote for the best choice of two, even if the best choice is not perfect, or is even far from perfect?

The primaries are the place for selecting the best standard bearers. Opinions on who's best will vary. My first choice in 1980 was not Reagan -- I wanted Phil Crane. My first choice in 1988 was not Bush -- I wanted Kemp.

As a Republican, I chose to support the Republican party's nominee, because no Democrat is an electoral option for a conservative with a CONSCIENCE.

Make the choice to support the most conservative choice of the two electable choices, and do so as matter of damage control if for no other reason.

A vote cast on that basis should give any one with a good conscience a clear conscience -- that is if the person really cares about electoral outcomes, and Supreme Court appointments to be making something more than just a self-righteous statement about themselves.

The stakes are higher than any single issue.

We're on the team fighting for conservatism. We may not always like the quarterback, but we will be certain to make no touch downs if we choose to play tepidly or simply decide to just walk off the field.

No, he just doesn't want to see a liberal in the White House, like most of us he realizes that there is ZERO difference between Rooty Toot and Hitlery (other than the fact that Rooty is more comfortable wearing a dress).

I know what James Dobson’s principles are, but what are yours?

No, a man with a brain that realizes that voting for a liberal Republican is going to harm the nation more than Hillary Clinton.

Giuliani would push for and get liberal legislation pasted that Hillary never could hope to. Giuliani will cost the Republicans seats in Congress while a Hillary Presidency gives them a chance to regain the majority, maybe as quickly as 2010.

And, if you think Giuliani is going to nominate conservative judges when he appointed liberal ones in New York when the Democrats control the Senate, you're living in a fantasy world.

It'd be good for Dobson's racket.
