In a surprising move Dr. James Dobson of Focus on the Family announced in an op-ed in the New York Times that he and some 50 colleagues met and discussed what position they would take in the upcoming Presidential race.
According to a report on Fox news October 9, 2007 Dobson said 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, and the result was almost unanimous.

Signed up yesterday to tell a decade-long Freeper he’s a DU pest? Trash talking a well known conservative leader as an attention hungry fool?
Go away, TROLL.
any rational repub knows 4 or 8 year of evil hilary will mean the end of the this website
***I signed up on this website when we had Clinton1. We will survive, but I doubt you will.
Someone must have turned over a log or something — lotta trolls lately.
"Dr. James Dobson Caught Between a rock and the ego."
There fixed it!
I think Dobson is right on this one.
I will never lower my standards and vote for Rudy. I’ll skip that race on the ballot. If its between Rudy and Hillary.
I am one of millions. We are not giving up the pro-life issue for Rudy.
I don’t think for a minute that Rudy will nominate any conservative to the S. Court.
I was just thinking the same thing. It is explicitly forbidden. His campaigning now is against a non profit status. I had noticed that he took great pains to say that he wasnt talking on behalf of his organization just himself when he was on Hannity but having meetings and giving interviews belies that point. But (gets ready for the fire), this wouldnt be the first time he has used semantics to do as he pleases or put out what he thinks.
This is why we have primaries.
Let's see what you've got.
Go on. Bring it.
Um, Dobson isn’t a preacher.
Yeah, gee, you’re right. Completely blow off something that is so close to your core beliefs. Yep. Life. Who needs that to get in the way?
Glad we have your type around to keep us all straight.
Then by your account why is he on the pulpit?
On the pulpit?
I think that’s what he meant ....
I think Dobson met well but nothing can be forced and it is the Lord ball game!
People of a nation have to earn good leadership!
Elsewise we are back to lesser of two evils!
What ever we were doing to get Reagan we should be doing again!
We are blessed when we deserve it!
Third party is rebellion to the universal laws!
LOL, already we hear the cry of the party faithful. The Framers did not intend for us to vote for a party, we were asked to vote for a candidate that represented our views. If Hillary wins it's not the fault of those that choose to vote in a different fashion, it's the fault of the candidate for not representing the views of those whose vote he seeks. And instead of the party faithful influencing their candidate, they blame those in the electorate for daring to think for themselves. The audacity!!
Now there are two problems here. First, the electorate is generally too stupid and too easily led to influence choosing the Senate or the Presidency. They vote for who promises the most. Or they see it as some sort of team sport and blame anyone who refuses to not play for their team. That's like asking someone if they want to be hit in the head or the gut. A sensible person will choose neither. And you're blaming them for it.
Second, whoever Dobson would suggest as a third party candidate would be just as much as a nanny statist as anyone the Republicans or Democrats would put regularly put up.
The candidates no longer debate on whether something should be done (i.e. federal control over a myriad of things) but what fashion it should be done in.
I don’t know what Fred has lost through Dobson’s rash and unfortunate stance, but I know what Dobson has lost.
He’s lost my husband, former subscriber.
Me, too. I took my name off the FOTF mailing list after over 20 years. I am considering selling the Dobson books I own.
I don’t need advice from someone with such TERRIBLE judgment.
You are living down to your screen name, again. He said no such thing. It was a threat, with weight, because for eight long years the GOP has been in the process of stiffing the base that elected them.
Like I said in that post,
Interesting vision you have of such a party no real soul, like the Whig party. Youve heard of that party, havent you? All the ignorant, egotistical social conservatives left that party and formed the republican party.

OK, we wont let the door hit us on the way out.
Comment:
I would hope that there wasn’t 50 so-called self described fundamentalist leaders willing to sell Gods favorite country down the tubes to satisfy their Sanhedrin ego’s.
I also hope these guys and gals are not waiting with baited breath for Hillary and the evil Clinton Machine to invite them to sleep in the Lincoln bedroom as a thank you for helping throw the election.
They better instead hope that the Clinton Machine forgets to invite them for a peaceful noonday picnic at Fort Marcy Park.
As for forming a new party made up of fundamentalist, ain’t gonna happen, ask that egomaniac Ross Perot.
On the way out of the party please do not turn out the lights because this Christian and lots of other Patriots will still be here fighting the good fight against the Evil of Left Wing Liberalism.
Just the lowly opinion of a red state wannabe.
