I love the terms they use to describe those who want to force upon others how to live their own lives: “social conservatives”.

“can I get an amenah!”
“baaaah”
“can I get a halleluyah!”
“BAAAAH!”
“thank you jesusah!”

Don’t you have a meeting with Jerry Fallwell, Mr. Dobson?

I don’t think FT is the Great Right Hope. He’s just…a catalyst, maybe in some ways a laxative. His presence forces the other Rep. candidates to take a position, lest they draw comparison to FT. Hillary, Obama, Edwards – these people would crush FT. He has to know this. Hasn’t he?

Fred Thompson, is not right for president. He seems to be a flake. He kept putting off getting in now he wont answer questions about faith. MR.Thompson what do you beleive and when did you beleive it?

We’re Screwed! What happened to my Party? I’m not looking for a “Social Conservative”. I am looking for a “Reagan Conservative”.

I have nobody to vote for.

“I have nobody to vote for.”

Indicative of a much larger issue of who we are allowed to elect. Huzzah for the 2 party system(of control).

Hallzee, ive been asking what happened to the GOP since Jerry Ford lost to Jimmy Carter.

What happened to the GOP? First they had to resort to trickery/crime to win elections on a national scale. 2nd: every single day more liberals are born than conservatives. It’s the issues, man. Stay out of our bedrooms, out of the middle east, and keep our jobs here, and you MAY strike up your side again. Otherwise, just deal with the fact that your side is looked at as racists, bigots, and money grubbers. Not that money grubbers don’t lie in the liberal side, either. But, I think you get the jist…….

Coach, i agree with some of your points, i dont see how we can stay out of the middle east, but i agree about tricks and social issues hurting the GOP.

Fred Could make his stand on this issue. Say he acts like the only viable candidate to beat a Democrat. Dobson says, he is not Christian enough.

“i dont see how we can stay out of the middle east”

I don’t think the GOP does either ray. Thats why I despise them. Iran is finally starting to fight back after half a century of abuse and now suddenly its a justification to stay and pacify them.

Sigh. Passing history aught to be mandatory to vote.

I think it’s great that there isn’t one candidate that the religious right can get behind. Religion and politics should be separate. Just witness the corruption of both religion and politics of the past six years under George W. Bush. I’m tired of these good intentioned but power hungry religious leaders dictating to me and the rest of the country of how I should live my life. You believe that Jesus Christ is your personal Lord and saviour. That’s Great! Now leave me alone to pursue my religious beliefs and I’ll leave you alone with your beliefs.

I think Fred Thompson is an empty suit. He brings nothing to the debate and doesn’s appear to have a strong stand on a single relevant issue. Just another Republican lemming willing to go over the cliff for the Party of Lincoln and Reagan….who are both dead, by the way!

Stay out, i dont hate either party id like to see more parties that could win. The more viable parties the better.

Fred Thompson still looks like a frog.

Thompson is an experienced actor. Even more of one than Ronald Reagan.

He’s the perfect puppet.

Funny that James Dobson says something about Fred Thompson and that gets covered here, yet nothing on Jesse Jackson’s racist statement that Barack Obama is “acting like he is white.” Only bad stuff about Republicans, right Tim?

Isn’t “Focus on the Family” a religious organization? If so does that mean they get tax exempt status? The IRS might be very interested in Dobsons endorsements of certain candidates.

it wasn’t a public endorsement, it was a leaked email. No infraction of the religious tax exclusion clause. This doesn’t mean that there aren’t other probable reasons to revoke that tax exempt status. IMO, that status should have a caviat… that you spend as much money in social programs that benefit the general community as you would have payed in taxes.

Jed,

Welcome back. Is that ‘leaked’ as in Valerie Plame?

Dobson(?)What would you expect from the guy and his group who gave us Bush?

And what did we learn from the past seven years about mixing church and state?

Why is Dobson in a position to give his special anointing to his “Preferred Candidate”?

Shouldn’t he be busy evaluating/ doing background checks on his fellow Evangelical leaders? Maybe concerning himself with his flock and addressing their needs.

We have had to suffer through the past seven years with the guy that had the church’s “spiritual approval” and look where that got us!

The Republican candidates all spout the War Cry and seem to have no clue about the need to rebuild our infra-structure(taxes)and attend to domestic issues that are going south, fast(education, heath care, social security, workers benefits).

Thompson, Giuliani, Romney, McCain, Huckabee, etc. are all going to Continue the “Fun” we have already had, and it makes them all Lousy Candidates!

I realize that Matt Taibbi is a joke and shameless propagandist masquerading as a “journalist” and his article on Fred Thompson is more liberal business as unusual…but I must take exception to calling Carl Cameron a “right-wing hatchet man”. What would Mr Taibbi consider himself?? A suicide bomber??

It’s amazing to me how so many can be so sure about something that is invisible.
