COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - As Barack Obama broadens his outreach to evangelical voters, one of the movement's biggest names, James Dobson, accuses the likely Democratic presidential nominee of distorting the Bible and pushing a "fruitcake interpretation" of the Constitution.

Isn't this a little of the kettle calling the pot black? Who really knows what the bible means?

Focus on the Family lays off 30, moves 15 more to new jobs - AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth

Focus on the Family lays off 30, moves 15 more to new jobs - AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth:

"Focus on the Family announced Monday that it is laying off 30 employees and
reassigning 15 others. It also announced that founder James Dobson had been
cleared of accusations that he jeopardized the group's nonprofit status by
endorsing Republican candidates."

Let him and his group endorse the candidate that he feels is best. It is just as likely to harm that candidate as it is to help them anyways.

James Dobson Vetoes The Thompson Nomination - Oliver Willis:

"James Dobson, one of the nation's most politically influential evangelical
Christians, made it clear in a message to friends this week he will not support
Republican presidential hopeful Fred Thompson. In a private e-mail obtained
Wednesday by The Associated Press, Dobson accuses the former Tennessee senator
and actor of being weak on the campaign trail and wrong on issues dear to social
conservatives."

I'm not sure it is clear at this point who he is supporting. What is clear is that he is not supporting Thompson and he isn't supporting Giuliani. It is a hard place to be in, either support one of the lead candidates, or risk losing credibility by supporting someone that doesn't rank in the polls at all. If they move to support a candidate that ranks in the single digits in the polls, they will have shown their hand as being weak. They will lose standing politically. If they support a candidate that brings in a large number of voters, at the cost of compromise on their ideas, the base could revolt.

Dobson tells Rudy to go to hell - knocks his multiple marriages, adultery, and dressing in drag - AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth:

"There are other moral concerns about Giuliani's candidacy that conservatives
should find troubling. He has been married three times, and his second wife was
forced to go to court to keep his mistress out of the mayoral mansion while the
Giuliani family still lived there. Talk about tap dancing. Also during that
time, the mayor used public funds to provide security services for his
girlfriend. The second Mrs. Giuliani finally had enough of his philandering and,
as the story goes, forced him to move out. He lived with friends for a while and
then married his mistress. Unlike some other Republican presidential candidates,
Giuliani appears not to have remorse for cheating on his wife...."

I don't see how Giuliani can think he has a chance, how anyone can think he has a chance. If it were not for 9/11 the only people who knew his name would spit right after saying it. I don't trust him, I don't think moderates trust him, and it looks like the right doesn't trust him either. I know some sites have made issue with Dobson's criticism, but it is founded. I am not a conservative, but the fact that his second wife had to go to court to keep the girlfriend out of the house doesn't sit well with me. I also don't think the public should be paying the keep his mistress safe.
