Dr. James Dobson, whose advice about parenting, child-rearing, marriage and faith has guided millions of Americans and whose counsel on family matters has been sought by presidents, today blasted the Republican Party for abandoning a strong GOP candidate to be U.S. senator, U.S. Rep. Todd Akin.
Dobson, the founder and president of Family Talk, which produces his regular radio program, “Dr. James Dobson’s Family Talk,” told WND it is “disgraceful” that the “GOP political bosses” have told Akin to drop out of his race, have withdrawn financial support and publicly maligned the congressman.
“I regret to say that Congressman Akin has been subjected to disgraceful treatment at the hands of the GOP political bosses,” Dobson said. “They have withheld funds for his campaign, even though he won the GOP primary for the Senate seat. Karl Rove and Haley Barbour have said things about his character that are untrue. Their vicious opposition could get his Democratic opponent elected in his stead. That is curious since an Akin win could give the Senate majority to the Republicans.”

Thank you.
Let me reiterate
FU Akin
dont you realize that toothless barefooted hillbillies that believe in what Akin said are 55% of the electorate in Missouri. thats why there are two republican senators, a governor etc.
Nonsense.
Recent polls put him about even with Clarabelle. That's better than most of the GOP Senate candidates that the NRSC and Rove PACs will spend millions on knowing in advance that they are the really lost causes. The GOPe are just stuck on stupid and stubborn.
How about we put this nation back together ... but without idiots like Akin trying to help?
I do not want people like Akin (and other nitwits from both parties) in Congress. How about we work together to get dundering imbeciles like Aking OUT of Congress and more intelligent people in Congress?
Sick of choosing the lesser of two idiots. I’ve had enough. I refuse to play nice. I want them ALL out whether Dem or Repub.
Every
Single
One
Dobson? Is him a kin of Akin?
I can’t vote for him, but my children can and will. I would also if I lived across the state line. You are declaring that conservatives must support losers because they are conservatives. We’ve tried that before in Senate races in Nevada and Rhode Island among others. Its not a winning strategy.
Independents will vote for McCaskill or note vote at all in this race. That will be enough to deliver the race to her. Not a pleasant thought, but that’s the way that its going to be.
But, I’m sure that you will blame the “phoney conservatives” and not yourself for that outcome because the real conservatives stuck by their guy. It may soothe your emotional soul, but its not a good political move.
I believe that I’ve made my points without hurling personal insults, how about you?
Well said.
I’m for islands not capsizing too ... but for reasons that make sense. Akin is a moron.
Let’s get some actually intelligent people to run for the House. It already has a quorum of blithering idiots .. we don’t need more.
I'll bet you do a lot of salivating with those Democrats.
No — he’s the Dob[’s]son.
BS. Akin had the support of the the NRCC, RNC, and other GOP PACS until he opened his mouth and said something so mind-numbingly stupid, that he rendered himself unelectable. Unfortunately, the Rats along with their foot soldiers in the MSM, were able to use one moron’s statements to smear the entire GOP. It played right into their stupid “GOP’s war on women” BS narrative. If Akin had left the race immediately, the damage would not have spilled over, but being the arrogant, ignorant, unpatriotic ass that he is, he refused.
Btw, Akin has damaged the pro-life message. I’ve had apolitical friends ask me if all pro-life Republicans believe what Akin believes.
We do but they soon learn that they are too intelligectual to be bound by the speeches they gave to the electorate to get them into those offices and sell out their constituencies once there. Should we have more of those???
[ who didn’t say anything wrong ]
The guy said that a woman’s body can prevent pregnancy when she is raped. That is WRONG! It is moronic!
I understand your support for Akin, but you are being a little selective in your citing of polls. Did you include Rasmussen of 12 Sep in your calculus? (M 49 A 43)
McCaskill has a boatload of money to saturate the KC and StL markets with ads reminding the voters of Akin's words. Akin will lose big in Platte, Clay, and Jackson counties, and in the St. Louis suburbs outside of Chesterfield. This is just not going to happen and its probably too late to do anything about it.
We really could do with different candidates and if we could get both out of there and replace them with people who don't play footsie with Democrats, I"d be fine with that.
Show me where it reads that the Senate race in Missouri is a lost cause for Akin???
Show Me -- and Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
We can keep voting them out every 2 years until we get one that represents us ... and is not a blithering idiot.
You are presenting a false choice.
Voter fraud, nah, not a chance.
His remarks regarding legalized murder of unborn babies may be politically stupid and may prove to be suicidal to his chances of retaking the Senate, but he is certainly not wrong in his condemnation of legalized child murder. I don't know much about either his political or moral principles, but if he is sincere in what he said I would not desert him even though he may be politically incorrect and incapable of winning a Senate seat.
Although I realize that retaking the Senate would go a long way toward ameliorating the disastrous results of another Obama term in the White House, and that Akin's political gaffe may be our downfall in re the open Senate seat, but I can't in good conscience condemn him for speaking the truth on what I believe to be the most important issue in regard to the continued existence of our nation. I'm afraid that Roe v Wade may have already earned for our formerly God-fearing nation the wrath of Him who according to His infallible Word both establishes and disestablishes governments and rulers.
That poll is actually 49-47 if you read that 4% want some other candidate. Those 4% are Republicans still hoping for a Sept 25th resignation so their dream candidate can be appointed but that will not happen. We still have not seen the internals of that poll. Rasmussen should publish them. Everyone else publishes theirs.
She does have a ferryboat load of money but she lacks boots on the ground and that is worth something that money can't buy.
