“If Fred were not a bona fide conservative choice in this election, Jim Robinson would certainly not support him.”
No disrespect to Jim, but each of us is capable of digesting where Fred stands of the issues and judging him on that basis.
Thompson opposes a Marriage Protection Amendment, for example. On that non-negotiable issue, I don’t need either Jim — Dobson or Robinson — to tell me that I won’t be supporting Fred unless he “sees the light” on that issue.
Dr. Dobson judges him negatively on the same issue and perhaps others, and millions if not tens of millions of Americans know his name and deeply respect his judgment.
That doesn’t detract from the influence of Jim Robinson or Free Republic, but I doubt FR comes anywhere close to matching the numbers of Dobson’s reach.
Thank you for the typical “Christian Conservative Movement” “We’re perfect. Let’s elect a Dem because the C doesn’t kow tow to us 1000%” answer.
Strongly suggest you read # 794
But you DO disrespect JR when you marginalize his support of Fred.
Fred’s opposition to the Marriage Protection Amendement is based on sound Federalist principles ~ he’s not endorsing gay marriage!
If so many Americans ~ tens of millions you say ~ know Dobson’s name and “deeply respect his judgement,” why hasn’t HE been drafted as a conservative alternative for POTUS?
