Dobson Admits Doubt -- Focus Founder Questioning Early Endorsement of Miers

All I know is this: Miers better perform or Republicans will lose the next couple elections due to a split ticket.

[headsonpikes]

Enough from the sky pilots, already!

[FreeRep]

If Harriet Miers is confirmed, she will be the only evangelical on the U.S. Supreme Court. Sometimes it comes down to just "faith and trust" alone.

[Ol' Sparky]

The sign from God would be a proven track record that a nominee is an originalist and pro-life. There is no such proof with Miers so any thinking conservative or Christian should reject the pick, demand the nomination be withdrawn and proven originalist nominated in her place.

[Siena Dreaming]

Dobson is basically saying there's no way to know how someone will actually vote and he's praying it's the right choice.

That's a good thing.

[Magnolia]

In light of some of the deliberate misinformation being reported, I'd take this with a grain of salt until it's got several independent sources.

[Ol' Sparky]

Sometimes it comes down to just "faith and trust" alone.

Why? With 55 seats in the Senate, there is no good reason that we shouldn't be getting a known quantity. That so many conservatives are willing to accept a stealth unknown and have for 25 years is the reason the Supreme Court is the mess it is and will continue to be.

[Hank Rearden]

An anguished James Dobson prayed Wednesday for a sign from God, telling his Christian radio listeners he was questioning his early endorsement of Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers.

Oooga-booga-BOO! Toss some chicken bones and let us all know what you see, JD.

I always get the willies when a preacher is "Dr." instead of "Rev." or "Fr." - weirdness often abounds as a result.

[Ol' Sparky]

Dobson is basically saying there's no way to know how someone will actually vote and he's praying it's the right choice. That's a good thing.

No, a very stupid thing.

[Siena Dreaming]

Praying is very stupid?

[conservative barking moonbat]

Oh no!!!

[Cautor]

Dobson stuck his neck out.....way out. He's trying to recover.

[THEUPMAN]

evangelical ?

I would like to know a bit more about her and what makes her " evangelical " ...

I trust Bush , He knows the importance of this appointment.

I only hope my trust is not misplaced.

[NeoCaveman]

Sen. Leaky Leahy said that he wanted to subpoena Dobson. This is Dobson backtracking from his "I know something you don't know" radio statements, in order to avoid subpoena.

My conclusion, he does know something we don't know.

[Cautor]

"Sometimes it comes down to just "faith and trust" alone."

Often, our prayers are not answered.

[Hank Rearden]

With 55 seats in the Senate, there is no good reason that we shouldn't be getting a known quantity.

Now, now. You know very well the Republican Party can't possibly accomplish a damn thing without a clear 100-seat Senate majority - and maybe not even then.

It's going to take many years, and hundreds of millions of dollars in campaign donations, to motivate these guys.

So pay up, shut up and vote Republican all the way. Trust 'em.

[RTINSC]

God may be planning a political wind shift..

[TheDon]

It's not the quantity of Senators, but the quality that counts. Have you already forgotten McCain and his band of 14 "moderates"?

[BibChr]

I really, really doubt their characterization.
