Third party.
“Third party.”
Hogwash. If Dobson were to do that (1)the majority of social conservatives would ignore him and vote for conservative Thompson anyway and (2) Dobson would forever consign himself to being irrelevant.
Since when have “Christians” taken orders from this self-appointed jacka$$. Especially when other Christian leaders(Land et al) have publicly supported Thompson.
Have you looked at the Constitution Party?
I wrote the above and then I went to the website and the first sentence involved James Dobson planning a campaign strategy.....so never mind
Third party gets you Hillary.
85% friend vs 5% friend. Hmm... Real tough choice there.
Third party.
The moral “Majority” appears to be out to tank the next election, unless Dobson and his ilk get to annoint whomever they believe to be the “Chosen One”.
Third parties have only ever split the votes of whatever party they spring from.
The republicans were a third party when they formed and did not win the presidency the first time around. They gained ascendancy over a period of years by actively winning over converts to their side regardless of whether it was a presidential election year or not. They had a hotbutton issue to do that with — slavery. They spent even the off years bringing people into the party by actively pursuing and keeping their key issues in front of the public and selling them. These days 3rd parties only actively do anything in a presidential election year which is too little too late. A third party split from the GOP would be the hildebeeste’s fondest dream.
