Do you think Dobson is a "Rudybot"?

"Thompson’s faith became an issue in the national media when Focus on the Family founder James Dobson appeared to throw cold water on a Thompson candidacy in an interview with U.S. News.

“Everyone knows he’s conservative and has come out strongly for the things that the pro-family movement stands for,” Dobson said of Thompson. “(But) I don’t think he’s a Christian; at least that’s my impression,” Dobson added, telling U.S. News that such an impression would make it difficult for Thompson to connect with the Republican Party’s conservative Christian base and win the GOP nomination.

Focus on the Family later issued a clarifying statement, saying that in the U.S. News interview, “Dr. Dobson was attempting to highlight that to the best of his knowledge, Senator Thompson hadn’t clearly communicated his religious faith, and many evangelical Christians might find this a barrier to supporting him. Dr. Dobson told (the reporter) he had never met Senator Thompson and wasn’t certain that his understanding of the former senator’s religious convictions was accurate. Unfortunately, these qualifiers weren’t reported. … We were, however, pleased to learn from his spokesperson that Senator Thompson professes to be a believer.”

What's Dobson got to do with this post of yours?

Nope, he endorsed the creepy Gingrich because he laughably "repented" on Dobson's radio show. Thompson has more character in his pinky than all of Newt. But this is the Church of Dobson, and Fred hasn't prostrated himself there.

Dobson may not be a "Rudybot", but he is a jerk.

I think Dobson has gotten too damn big for his britches and is trying to play kingmaker for the rest of us peons. I'll pick my own candidate, thank you.

Lord help Dobson if his mistakes ever come to light. And he has them. He's human. Everyone has skeletons in their closet. And if you spend your time looking for others, rest assured, payback will be hell.
