Oh, golly gee. Big surprise there. And a huge yawn, too. Dobson’s busy stomping on the final embers of his influence.

[Moral Hazard]

Again? I thought he endorsed Huckabee several posts ago.

[jpf]

Where’s the horse? Forget it, where’s the barn door?

[bshomoic]

Thurprise thurprise thurprise!

[Constitution Day]

Dobson emphasizes that when he endorses candidates, he is doing so as a private citizen and not as a representative of Focus on the Family, a tax-exempt organization.

Yeah. Sure. Dobson is tiresome.

[aruanan]

Sort of like not wanting to support Mao because he’s an evil communist so he decides to support Deng Xioping.

[hadaclueonce]

“James Dobson, one of the nation’s most prominent evangelical Christian leaders”

Huh?

In more news tonight, Rocky endorses Bullwinkle as his “Moose of the Year.”

[coramdeo]

This is really disappointing. After coming out strong against McCain, Dobson endorses McCain’s attack Chihuahua. My wife and I decided tonight that we will no longer support Focus on the Family, and that is a very sad and difficult decision.

[fso301]

Dobson should shut up.

[Rudder]

...he is the best fit to advance Dobson's moral worldview.

By what right do these buttholes lay claim to moral leadership? No wonder the left can't stand evangelicals...I can't either.

[elizabetty]

I wonder what he reasoning is here. Is he getting a lot of guff from evangelicals for not supporting Huck?

It is an exercise in futility because Huck has already won his confederate states and will get no more than one hundred delegates in the remaining races.

Dobson went on the record endorsing the loser after he already lost.

Makes no sense.

Sad!! I just commented to my husband today that we need to send a extra check to Focus On the Family. The last week's broadcasts on the dangers' of Islam were some of the best we have heard.Dobson is not speaking on behalf of Focus. He is speaking as a individual.

[The_Republican]

Timing is weird. Only Yesterday, Huckster reacted to Dobson’s comments about not voting for McCain by saying that those people are not conservatives and are in it for themselves. He would vote for Mac before he votes for Hillobama.

Today he gets Dobson’s endorsement.

Funny!

[freespirited]

Endorsing someone at a point when he cannot get enough delegates to win is kinda strange.

[JSDude1]

you didn’t really answer why? If you don’t care about evangelicals (then the fellings mutual) politically..as for you personally I don’t know you, so I can’t really comment there!

[HawaiianGecko]

Dobson's almost as stupid as Huckabee.  Why either of them think Huck can capture 84% of the remaining delegates while to date he has only captured 15% is beyond me.

[EdJay]

Will Dobson endorse Huckabee for V-P, if we end up with a McCain-Huckabee ticket? (Not at all an impossibility since McC. needs to conciliate at least some segment of the Evangelical crowd & Huckabee is one means to that end.) Or will Dobson then denounce Huckabee for associating with Satan, AKA John McCain?

[Rudder]

If you don’t care about evangelicals (then the fellings mutual

Well, that's the Christian thing to say, isn't it.

Why? you ask.

Hypocrisy like the kind you demonstrated.
