Focus on the Family founder James Dobson said Friday that GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee's victory in the Iowa caucuses shows that Christian conservatives still have considerable influence.
Huckabee easily defeated second-place finisher Mitt Romney in Iowa Thursday thanks to a wave of support from evangelical Christians.
"The results of the Iowa caucuses reveal that conservative Christians remain a powerful force in American politics. That had to be a great shock to those on the far left," Dobson said in a written release.
Dobson criticized what he called media elites, saying they had written off religious conservatives.
Huckabee's victory "was evidence of an energized and highly motivated conservative community," Dobson said. "Not bad for a supposed bunch of demoralized, depressed, disillusioned and disengaged Reaganites."
Dobson said he has not endorsed Huckabee and said the former Arkansas governor may not win the GOP nomination.
In the next test, the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday, Christian conservatives are expected to be less of a force than they were in Iowa.
‘Dobson is a Christian. Your mischaracterization of him is based solely on his being a Christian with a platform and a voice. By definition: anti-Christian.’
Sorry, thats not ‘anti Christian’ its Anti Dobson.
I’ve never posted anything remotely close to anti Christian, the post you cite doesn’t come close to supporting that statement.
You can try again if you like.....(chuckle)
‘I believe it was badeye who was accused of “anti-christian crap” by Theo, not NavVet. I said it was possible that Theo was right.’
Nope, Theo isn’t even close to ‘being right’. You cannot produce a single post of mine that is ‘anti Christian’.
In that post, you equated christians who were standing up for the deity of Christ as bigots, by saying, “ you just noted bigotry is a virtue.”
That is an anti-christian statement.
We’ll let the readers decide for themselves whether it was anti-christian, since the term has not been defined.
Chuckle all you want, but Jesus was put to death on the cross for claiming equality with God. Calling people who stand up for that central claim to christianity as “bigots” is anti-christian.
Badeye, I produced a post from you that was antichristian with just a simple glimpse at your posting history, so I’m moving from saying that Theo was possibly right to saying that Theo was right. What you posted was antichristian.
‘In that post, you equated christians who were standing up for the deity of Christ as bigots, by saying, “ you just noted bigotry is a virtue.”
That is an anti-christian statement.’
BS. You are seeing things that simply don’t exist.
I’d say it make you a kook.
‘Badeye, I produced a post from you that was antichristian with just a simple glimpse at your posting history, so I’m moving from saying that Theo was possibly right to saying that Theo was right. What you posted was antichristian.’
I’d say your hitting on Theo.
...sigh...
no one apparently is listening to that little jewel of a fact
Unfortunately, there are a lot of Evangelicals who are NOT conservative. Some of them are lefties, many are moderates or simply less than informed folks (politically) who simply like it when someone speaks about Christ.

I’d say it make you a kook.
***Let the readers decide for themselves. In particular, look at Badeye’s next post.
I’d say your hitting on Theo.
***Again, let the readers decide for themselves.
Thanks for participating.
one wonders if evangelicals elected Jimmeh Carter? Or was it merely the left wing Babtists that carried his water?
No problem, thanks for demonstrating your a kook.
It was Evangelicals.
