Dr. Dobson was a speed bump on the road to the White House.

Giuliani said he understands that some voters view his position on abortion as a deal breaker, stating, “I respect that.” “I’m not going to get every vote,” Giuliani said.

OK if he respects and understands this, I'm not sure why the RINOS and the single-issue-anti-Hillary-I'll-vote-for-Rudy crowd can't seem to comprehend this same thought?

“Santorum, however, believes that Dobson’s comments and Thompson’s reluctance to embrace the evangelical community’s stance on marriage issues could hurt him with the crowd.”

“His position on marriage is something of a concern,” Santorum said.

I believe it was Senator Santorum that coined the phrase Islamic Facists. He was warning about Osama and that crazy in Iran early on.

Senator Thompson should listen to what Senator Santorum has to say about the moral conservatives. It isn’t a matter of bowing the knee to James Dobson, it is about his stand on pushing for constitutional remedies (ammendment) to the homosexual situation. This is one area where an extreme allegance to “Federalism” hurts him.

I would like to see Senator Thompson do better and sow up the nomination. To do so he needs to swing a little more to the right on moral issues. He must secure the moral conservative base to stomp out Mayor Guiliani. Otherwise the moral conservatives will be split over several candidates in the primaries which could throw the nod to Guiliani. A Guiliani win will shatter the Republican party and guarantee a Clinton victory.

I hope Thompson and Dobson bury the hatchet.

“I think what we can expect is a lot of folks talking about how dissatisfied they are with the choices they have,” former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) said.

Now I'm just plain ticked. Is Santorum a deaf and blind imbecile. How can he possibly miss the candidate who has all the makings of a great President - Duncan Hunter.

His Twelve Commitments:
I will keep America on offense in the Terrorists’ War on Us.
I will end illegal immigration, secure our borders, and identify every non-citizen in our nation.
I will restore fiscal discipline and cut wasteful Washington spending.
I will cut taxes and reform the tax code.
I will impose accountability on Washington.
I will lead America towards energy independence.
I will give Americans more control over, and access to, healthcare with affordable and portable free-market solutions.
I will increase adoptions, decrease abortions, and protect the quality of life for our children.
I will reform the legal system and appoint strict constructionist judges.
I will ensure that every community in America is prepared for terrorist attacks and natural disasters.
I will provide access to a quality education to every child in America by giving real school choice to parents.
I will expand America’s involvement in the global economy and strengthen our reputation around the world.

If that isn't a great start for a conservative man running for President, I don't know what is. How come I know this information and Santorum is clueless? What a crock.

I sure hope none of these people endorse Rudy.

I know Robertson has and he is now anathema in my book.

These so-called "Values Voters" may want to heed the words of the founders of the Modern Conservative movement and keep their theology in their churches. Not everybody, well most everybody in this great nation really couldn't give a fiddler's what Dr. Dobson thinks.

Let the candidates campaign on their positions, instead of massaging their principles or lack thereof to fit a specific audience or voting block.

I support Dobson and I support Thompson (and Hunter.)

Dobson’s words are mischaracterized.

He said he didn’t “THINK” Thompson was a Christian in a conversation. He followed that by saying that was his IMPRESSION. In other words, he was saying that he didn’t have a lot of info at the time.

Dobson’s words do not prevent him from voting for Fred. They meant that it was an area he needed more info about.
