"No, Fred thumbed his nose at Dobson. How did he thumb his nose at other evangelicals?"

His stances on the Federal Marriage Amendment and abortion showed he could care less about some key issues that are important to evangelicals. That's what caused Dobson to go off and threaten to go third party.

Granted Dobson might have reserved his fire for the more social liberals in the crowd. But I'm not sure the result would have been any different. Fred at that point became a dissapointment, and Dobson simply reflected that fact.

I'm an evangelical. I'm also a federalist.

As Christians, me & my buddy Fred are opposed to abortion and gay marriage.

As federalists, me & my buddy Fred believe that those matters are not defined in the Constitutions and are reserved for the jurisdiction of the states.

As Republicans, me & my buddy Fred can count noses and have figured out that both issues could or would lose in a federal legislation or constitutional amendment process.

What part of politics and the 10th Amendment do you & Dobson not understand?

Dobson didn't reflect disappointment in Fred. Dobson PROJECTED his religious bigotry and political ignorance.

So, it's your position that a Republican President could get not one, but two Constitutional amendments through a Democratic Congress? Non starter. And not federalist either. Dobson needs a political primer course.
