To hear the comments when Dobson said this one would gather that Dobson had no follower at all, that he was a kook. He was lambasted for daring to say what all Christians voters take as number one in voting... and Fred and his follower followed the nearest exit off lemming cliff to mass suicide with comments like "I don't wear my faith on my sleeve" and "Dobson is an idiot". Lukewarm was about all that could be said about Fred and his faith and straddling that fence was not where you want to be come election time. The last thing true Christians want is someone that is ashamed of them and their faith. Fred further distanced himself from conservative Christians with his abortion statements that muddied the water instead of the opposite. Yet surprisingly in this year's field where Duncan was still a nobody, Fred did have a lot of Christian supporters (here on FR and otherwise, including my cousin, who now has switched to Huckabee).
Now the last thing Fredheads need to do is to just keep driving that nail between themselves and Christians. Eve blamed that cunning snake, Adam blamed Eve... Fredheads have blamed everything under the sun. Perhaps the sad fact is that the American populace is just a bunch of RINO's and liberals and there is little we can do about it. The socialist cake has been tasted and many have come back for second helpings and big government is more than happy to keep serving it.
I'll remind myself to do that to me.

Really? All Christian voters have "evangelical Christian" as their number one qualification? Good thing we didn't have that for Reagan. Or Bush 1.

I didn't say Dobson was an idiot. I said he was a Machiavellian, wannabe-king-maker, sanctimonious, self-righteous prig with delusions of grandeur who got a whiff of power with Falwell deceased and Robertson off the reservation (with his Giuliani endorsement). I may have missed a few. But that's the gist. And I'll stand by every iota.

Fred wasn't ashamed of his faith. He just didn't try to milk his faith for your vote. That may be difficult for some people to grasp as they believe that faith is about loud proclamations over bullhorns.

I wasn't confused. I do reckon Mike Huckabee had a hard time understanding them, but he's still trying to figure out where Pakistan is on the map, so no surprise.
And again, NEITHER DOBSON NOR YOU speak for all Christians.
