Dobson: Where have GOP values gone? [GOP was AWOL on conservative values]

The 2012 election was an open door for the GOP to lead America back to its roots in faith and morality, and the Republicans were AWOL, says Dr. James Dobson, founder of Family Talk and a brand new political outreach arm called Family Talk Action.

“I waited throughout the campaign for Mitt Romney to declare himself, to at least identify with the moral issues that are before us. He would not touch them,” Dobson said on a two-part radio program in which Penny Nance, head of Concerned Women for America, joined.

Agree or disagree with James Dobson (I happen to completely disagree with his psychology-based "Christian counseling" - a worldly philosophy) he is right on the mark in his assessment of how the RINO Party of Stupid lost millions of values voters.

Dear Dr. Dobson: please Google RINO.

dobson does not deserve the attention or respect these stupid journalists give him, he is a psychologist, first, which is about as respectable as an actor in a traveling troupe, second he prides himself on controlling his dog, by beating it, his family by physical means and is in other ways a narcissistic control freak.

Alan Keyes was SO one issued anti-abortion, and yet, that USED t'be a standard plank in the platform.

We all know what happened to Alan Keyes and ANYone that espouses a true and hard conservative value line.

I think we should stop using the word 'conservative' and start using the word "American"

Anyone that has read much of me knows how I love Norman Rockwell, and THAT is the America I remember .. almost to a brush stroke.

They were too busy trying to get the black, brown, yellow, and perverted homosexual vote. They need to get the conservatve vote more then skin color or sexual perversion vote.

Um... can you elaborate on his beating his dog and physically abusing his family? I think I smell B.S.

So, are you now joining the Leftist chorus of “no-spanking” bans and liberal feel goodism?

I am not sure the GOP has ever represented conservatives. Anyone who believes that the GOP is conservatives, is AS easily led as the Obamaphone voters.

I don’t mean to be cruel, but it is the truth.

I am not sure the GOP has ever represented conservatives. Anyone who believes that the GOP is conservative in nature, is AS easily led as the Obamaphone voters.

The Republicans are just as much to blame for over spending- and giving away free stuff.

I don’t mean to be cruel, but it is the truth.

So, Ronald Reagan never championed the unborn? I must have missed that.

wow, dim wit that was quite a leap.

No, what I was saying is that dobson has no credibility because he is a dipsh8 psychologist. I do not ascribe to his clap trap and I do not ascribe to “Dr” Spock’s either. However, I would never dream of beating a kid or a dog with a belt. I have walloped my kids on the butt occasionally, very rarely, but I wasn’t proud of it. Still, totally beside the point, DOBSON HAS NO CREDIBILITY AS A CONSERVATIVE ANYTHING

This is absurd. GOP values took a hike years ago and have been MIA for at least 20 years.

IOW, since Reagan completed his second term.

And, it IS the lack of conservative values by the GOP-E that has driven many conservatives (myself included), to the Tea Party.

Frankly, the GOP has lost its way so badly that it doesn’t represent much of anything at all, these days, except Democrat-lite. I’m not a Democrat-lite and won’t support their policies or candidates so . . . . .

. . . . . if the Tea Party won’t step up, conservatives will have to look elsewhere for representation.

Until the TEA Party, or another movement of real conservatism, gains critical mass, we are stuck with working within the GOP and pushing candidates of this brand who represent us. Sorry, but that's the reality of it.

Even Tea Party candidates identify as "Republican" for now.
