James Dobson, one of the nation's most politically influential evangelical Christians, made it clear in a message to friends this week he will not support Republican presidential hopeful Fred Thompson.Now the Dems won't be able to hang Dobson around Fred's head in the general. Good. The more Thompson Democrats, the better.
It did not kill thompson’s nomination. Dobson will not support Rudy Giuliani, John McCain or Fred Thompson.
LOL. Pissant, I was born at night but not last night my man. You know you posted this just to get a last lick in.
This is how much I care about what James Dobson thinks:
Who appointed Dobson kingmaker?
These self-anointed “conservative leaders” try to destroy the conservative candidates, when they should be taking shots at the Dems. What are they waiting for, a Messiah?
Her gang?
Classless there. So she wouldn’t let Mormons pray at her prayer breakfast. Mormons would never let her into their temples.
Two of a kind I would say.
My husband showed me a recent photo of Thompson, and I had the same impression.
I’m a social conservative.
I like Fred fine.

Thats too bad, but the handwritting was on the wall for a while.
I’ve met James Dobson and he’s a good man. Even good men make mistakes.
Dobson wants Newt to get in.
This was his message tonight.
I’m not on the ballot though.
I thought this whole thing was about defeating Hillary.
I agree with Dobson about Fred’s lack of energy and I’m examining his positions closely as we head towards a collision with Hillary. Energy aside, what concerns me perhaps more is what appears to be the common conclusion of the top-tiered candidates - the status quo just needs a little republican tweaking.
Where’s the visionary leader that will cut the public’s near 9 TRILLION dollar debt? We’re is the visionary that will reduce our 3TRILLION dollar budget and bring spending back to pre-1930’s percent of GDP? Where’s the clarion trumpets sounding about abortion? Which candidate has said they’ll stop the government from reaching into my back pocket, taking out my wallet and removing my and my family’s hard earned money. Where’s the candidate that will take on the teachers unions and call public education what it really is, generally useless.
I’m not a republican, I’m a conservative - as is Dobson. Just because some don’t like the messenger, perhaps we should at least look at the message. Don’t forget, Fred did support McCain-Feingold.
Frankly, I’d take Fred over Newt. So if that is his agenda, count me out. If it’s for Huckabee, really count me out.
There Dobson goes again. I still blame him and the stay at home Conservatives for that motley crew we have in Congress now. Someone needs to SHUT UP !
Dobson had a lot of clout in the eighties, but that time has passed. Remember, the perfect is the enemy of the good...
