if Dobson hadn’t waited till the last minute to endorse McCain we might not be in this horrible Marxist mess we find ourselves in....
I am not disagreeing or even trying to be contrary , but did Dr. Dobson's late endorsement cause some to vote for Obama or to sit out this election ? Are you suggesting he should have endorsed a candidate during the primary ? I know many , many people influenced by Dr. Dobson and they all voted GOP .
Although I sort of agree with your point, I too (like Dobson) found myself embarrassed at having to defend McCain as the Republican candidate. (I only agreed to volunteer and donate after the GOP convention, and by then it was too late)
It's beem crystal clear for years that McCain had no use or respect for faith-based conservatives .... and if not for his solid proLife and pro-security record ... McCain would be better off in the populist Democrat camp.
In fact, I blame McCain for encouraging the hate-filled anti-American anti-Christian media each time he slammed and ridiculed President Bush.
And he did it A LOT.
Each time McCain dissed Bush, whether with rhetoric or by caucusing AGAINST the Administration, it gave the left cover to scream "SEE even top Republicans hate this Administration."
From his pandering views on global warming, on his 'no-drill' energy policy, or homo rights, or his vote against tax cuts.... McCain pumped up the anti-conservative attitudes every time he kissed up to his left-wing buddies in the NYTimes, WaPost, CNN, MSNBC, and LATimes.
Ironically, the same reporters that played kissie kissie with McCain from 2000-2007 suddenly stabbed him in the back in 2008..... which was the only time justice prevailed this entire election cycle.
Dobson lost much credibility for endorsing MccAin't at all. He did himself, and the Conservative cause no favor in doing so whatsoever.
Dobson endorsed Palin. McCain got the nod purely because he chose Palin. Up to that point, he wasn’t going to get it from Dobson.
Nor from me.
McCain’s loss had nothing to do with Dobson. McCain ran a lousy campaign. He wouldn’t tackle issues like life, abortion, gay marriage, guns, self-defense, morality, terrorism, past associations, and congressional hands that were covered with mortgage blood.
I’m still not convinced he wasn’t trying to lose.
“if Dobson hadn’t waited till the last minute to endorse McCain we might not be in this horrible Marxist mess we find ourselves in....”
If McCain had not been the nominee we would not be in this horrible Marxist mess we find ourselves in.
If Dobson wouldn't have leaked his own private message saying Fred Thompson wasn't a Christian, we'd be talking about President Fred.
Dobson torpedoed Thompson in hopes of promoting Huckaphoney without publicly endorsing him and instead doomed us with McCain.
