Not this Christian. As much as I like Dr. Dobson for his support for family issues, he doesn't tell me who to vote for.
I think that’s the attitude that all of us Christian voters have got to have. I don’t want to take it too far, but when I voted for GW, I thought I was getting a different quantity than what I actually got. Voting for the “Christian” candidate is not necessarily the best option, although maybe it actually was in the case of Bush. There wasn’t much of a choice back then, either. But voting for the “Christian” candidate is not a panacea, and ought not necessarily be a given, even if you’re Christian.
Here, here.
I respect Dobson for his family support and views on social issues,
but if you want the gov’t to stay out of our wallets and out of promoting leftist social issues,
you have to disempower it to promote conservative social issues as well.
A limited gov’t in and of itself is systemically “socially conservative” because it doesn’t force a third party to pay for the consequences of immoral behavior. This reduces the occurrences of said behavior.
Dr Jim needs to understand not to throw the baby out with the bath water.
The religious voters are a big part of the gop and if they run a 3rd party candidate we can forget about winning the presidency. The cast of republican candidates are inadequate at best so either way it looks like 2008 will be a repeat of 2006
