New York Times Poll: Evangelicals Agree with Dr. Dobson

Do you really have any idea how frightening it would be if the intellect of the Creator of the universe was so small that one of us could figure out what he “wants?”

It is easy to find out what He wants... He wrote a Book.

Assuming Rudy wins the GOP nomination doing anything to get him defeated and putting any democrat in the WH (IMO) sets the pro-life movement back 10(?)-20(?) more years and cases the deaths of untold numbers of children.

Look at his record, not his promises.

Then why doesn’t Dobson line up behind Hunter?

However, I do understand that the only realiable thing I will get if I vote 3rd party is Hillary elected and Ruth Bader Ginsberg redux.

And, if Giuliani gets elected we get David Souter redux as well as a guarantee no conservative reaches the White House for eight years and that Republicans remain in the minority in Congress for likely a decade.

Do you think God wants 3 more Ruth Ginsburgs on the court so we can forget overturning Roe v Wade and try to overturn things such as partial birth abortion restrictions?

Do you think God wants someone that supports taxpayer-funding for abortion, has opposed a ban on partial-birth infanticide and marched in every gay pride parades as mayor of New York in office?

And let's not forget Rudy has spoken very highly of Ginsburg. I would not trust him not to put someone like her on the bench, he put even worse on the bench when he was mayor.

Giuliani:"That is not the critical factor. And what's important to me is to have a very intelligent, very honest, very good lawyer on the court. And [John Roberts] fits that category, in the same way Justice Ginsburg fit that category. I mean, she was -- she maybe came at it from a very different political background, very qualified lawyer, very smart person. Lots of Republicans supported her.

"No matter how much you disagree with Rudy if he’s the candidate of the party and you sit out the vote,
or vote for a third party candidate, knowing full well he or she can’t win you are
in essence casting a vote for the opposition."

That is a lie that if, God forbid, anyone to the left of Fred Thompson is nominated
we will hear over and over, ad nauseum.

Sometimes you have to pick the side you know is going to lose, just because it's the right thing to do.
If George Washington didn't believe that we'd still be spending pounds and drinking tea.

I will NOT vote for a RINO in the Republican primary but I will probably plug my nose and vote for whoever wins the Republican nomination, whether they are a RINO or not because the prospect of a President Clinton or President Obama stinks even worse.

Then why doesn’t Dobson line up behind Hunter?

I don't know why, He is the perfect canidate with some push that Dobson and the Christian Right (which I am a proud member of when it is right) could give him.

I have emailed Focus on the Family about this tonight. Hopefully he will relook Mr. Hunter a second time.

Then why doesn’t Dobson line up behind Hunter?

He (or rather Focus on the Family) cannot endorse a candidate due to IRS restrictions. But he can eliminate candidates by saying who he does not endorse... ;)

Bullcrap. Instead, why doesn't the Republican party nominate someone who stands on principle?

A lot of the Rudybots on FR really have no core beliefs, no values, no sense of surpassing truth, no principles, and so they don't understand the notion of a "line in the sand." They conduct a rigorous self examination and they conclude their only core belief is that they don't like Hillary. Rudy can throw off wives like he's changing underpants; he can promote "gay" rights, abortion "rights," gun control, and higher taxes, and none of that triggers any nausea in them, because he's "not as bad as Hillary." They actually see this cowardice as some sort of virtue, but the fact is simple--Republicans will never really win without principled conservatives getting out the vote. It's important to remind them that there can be no winning coalition with RINOS in charge. Rudy should be a good American and bow out.

hillary couldn’t plan it better—maybe she did.

Then maybe the party needs to get its act together and stop promoting candidates that split the party, if they don’t want a good chunk of its members voting for the opposition.

Republicans will never really win without principled conservatives getting out the vote. It's important to remind them that there can be no winning coalition with RINOS in charge.

Nor will any of the top four... Corporate packaging plus "Anyone but Hillary" fear mongering suggests to each that they have a good chance of winning.

What no one seems to understand, those who labor for the RINOs is that they labor in vain. There is no win in the general election without the Conservative Christians and the Conservative libertarians. PERIOD. Ain't gonna happen. There is no popularity available that outweighs the Right Wing.

Christians and Libertarians vote on deeply held convictions. That isn't a problem for the Republicans if they stick to what they stand for. What is being wholly ignored is that the principles of the Republican party are the ONLY thing that keep us united. When the party is off it's rails all unity dissolves immediately.

It isn't the Christians and the Libertarians that are compromised, it is the RINOs who cannot understand that the very compromises they insist upon are invariably driving the wedges deeper and deeper.

Where are the howling hordes that swore they would kick the RINOs out just a few short months ago during the immigration mess? How many of y'all are now supporting a RINO and how can you justify that?

Oh ye of little faith!

Good post, although the best Commander-in-Chief shall place God first in his thinking in all things at all times. That doesn’t prevent him from exercising legitimate national authority in the defense of the nation, even by the use of offensive tactics.

IMHO, we’ve succumbed to the notion that living within the world implies one must be worldly in their thinking, rather than recognizing His Plan is best fulfilled by those remaining in faith through Christ in all things first, including the defense of the nation from antiChristian assault by active measures.

BTW, I also do not advocate those who seek Christian crusades. Instead, every believer is to respect those institutions God has etablished and their legitimate authority, which are available to believer and unbeliever alike, namely free will, marriage, family and national governance.

That is precisely how it affected me... like a playground bully.... immature and angry beyond reason.

I was a supporter of dobson’s... no more. I think you have summed it up nicely.

Ann says she could vote for Thompson... she told o’bloviator that. She will not vote for rootie unless he comes to Jesus for real. That will not happen. Ann and I agree on rootie.

We must make sure we do not nominate Rudy. Beyond that, our side has no consensus as to who is acceptable. That is the problem. Everyone says that either we nominate my guy or I'm not playing ball.

I fear Hillary so much that any of our guys are preferable to her.

How very correct! The party seems to have a death wish. We’ve got to remember that liberals are followers, not leaders. Leaders think for themselves, followers are content to get a reason for something from someone else.
