Why attempt to convince others when blackmail will do?They held a “private” meeting on Saturday in Salt Lake City to discuss the issue, according to Salon and WND. And as with all “private” political endeavors in which “private citizen” Jam…

I put my faith in God, keep one hand covering my wallet, and one wary eye on the preacher.

Dobson made up my mind. There is another check in the mail Fred!

I haven’t sent a check to any politician (it just encourages the b******s) until now, but after reading “Rev.” Dodson’s comments, I will send one to Fred. “Rev.” Dodson’s rant has definitely energized my commitment.

Rudy is the man.

Maybe for you, but not for anyone who cares for the Second Amendment:

Thompson’s campaign said yesterday it was looking forward to the October 14th debate in Manchester. But ABC sent a note today to all the Republicans, reminding them the debate was canceled weeks ago.

In other news, Newt kicks Fred in the balls.

Announcing as a presidential candidate on Jay Leno’s late night TV show — as Republican Fred Thompson did recently — “is just goofy,” Newt Gingrich said Thursday.

And the beat goes on.

I forgot pro abortion lobbyist,Lawyer, staff in shambles.
Yet somehow he is 1rst or 2nd in all the polls..

He’s been in the race for two weeks, two weeks in which he’s acted like an ignoramus on anything important to the states he’s visited. Fredheads were all amout “give it time! Give it time! Wait for the Fred! Fear the Fred!” Once Fred tanks in his first debate by not having anything of substance or relevance to say, his star-powered numbers will drop like a rock.

Give him 60 minutes with the Fox Moderaters and he’ll be in hiding for 60 months.

If [Political Fatwas] are idiotic they will not hurt you.

Oh good; that’s a load off my mind. So apparently religion, politics (and apparently tax evasion) DO mix after all!

Thanks for the tip. I’ll have to include that in the next “personal” email form letter that I spam out to inform the media that God hates all the Presidential candidates who aren’t me.

‘Cause that’s what all us “non-egotistical” people do, isn’t it?

So basically Dobson is just screeching that one sinner after another has failed to meet his ever-so-very lofty standard of righteousness. What does that leave? I suppose we are now supposed to sit around and try to puzzle out who among us Dobson DOESN’T think is a witch….

Well, sorry, but I’m just not in the mood to play that particular game. And frankly it’s kinda hard to see how that’s a good way for a so-called “evangelical” to reach out and show all of us lost sinners the way, the truth and the light.

If the guy has something to say, then he should have the guts to come out and SAY it. Otherwise, he’s not really Testifying very well is he?

I think Dobson did have something to say, and he said it clearly. Quite well IMHO.

He is an Evangelist and he is also a watchdog. That is why he founded Focus on the Family and is Chairman of the organization. He is firmly fundamentalist in his understanding of the Bible, which is the current meaning of ‘Evangelical’ in modern America. Fundamentalists believe God created the earth and gave His Son as a sacrifice to save mankind. Literally. They believe Satan exists not just as a metaphor for Dobson. They believe the Bible is the word of God.

So Dobson isn’t screeching by accident. He is trying to find if a candidate will cause offense in the sight of the Lord. His organization has documented many unwholesome threats to the family over the years.

Since he believes abortion is murder it would be a sin for him not to find out who supports it. He is not condeming sinners, he is trying to protect unborn babies. His web site has a lot of information for people who are interested in Jesus.

I am impressed with his debating abilities, and his polite way of arguing with people who despise fundamentalists.

Religion has nothing more to do with Dobson’s politics than comedy has to do with Rosy O’donnell’s latest outburst. That may be how they GOT notoriety in the first place, but now it’s gone to their heads – and that kind of ego trip leaves room for nothing else.

logis on September 20, 2007 at 2:33 PM

I think you should listen to him. He is not on an ego trip, he is on a mission based upon his faith.

The only way I know Dobson’s name is in conjunction with these idiotic Political Fatwas he’s been issuing this year.

logis on September 20, 2007 at 8:02 PM

If they are idiotic they will not hurt you.

Just another low-hanging fruit for Fred, the Frederalist – which is Federalism only when its convenient for Fred (not often given his CFR and lobbying ways).

BKennedy on September 20, 2007 at 10:15 PM

Well when you are a lazy actor with a trophy wife, have cancer, former lobbyist, supported cfr, rented your red pickup, are hated by Dobson, have bad teeth, were a Nixon mole, and waited to long to get in the race, I guess you just have to take your shots when you can and hope for the best! :0

Fred Thompson Blasts Iran’s President:
““”Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, president of the world’s premier terrorist state, is speaking before the United Nations next week. He has also asked to visit Ground Zero. If I were President of the United States none of this would have been an issue–I wouldn’t have let him into the country in the first place.”
GO FRED!!!!!!!!!!

Nelsa on September 20, 2007 at 9:34 PM

Why would Fred let him in when it would be more lucrative for him to lobby on Armageddonjad’s behalf? After all, there’s no money to be made if someone doesn’t have a grievance against America.

Just another low-hanging fruit for Fred, the Frederalist – which is Federalism only when its convenient for Fred (not often given his CFR and lobbying ways).

Like MM? Or Rush? ~grins…

Quit wasting you time and just deal with the facts about Fred. No one should care about his religious activities. Fred should be judged on his record. There is plenty of good and bad to be discussed and Dobson mentioned some of the negatives.

Thanks for fine tuning what I was trying to say and remember. Your right about the lady Frau Elz. I do now remember him mention her. Thanks.

[Dobson] is in a class with those other charlatan religious fanatics such as Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell.

Not in my book. I actually know who Robertson and Falwell are. The only way I know Dobson’s name is in conjunction with these idiotic Political Fatwas he’s been issuing this year.

Hollowpoint, Dobson is not a pastor of a church or even a para-church organization.
Snidely Whiplash on September 20, 2007 at 7:34 PM

Whether aligned with a specific church or denomination or not, he could certainly be described as the head of a religious organization.

I’m not a “separation of church and state” purist or hardliner by any means, but I’d rather see religious figures stick to religion and religous values and let their followers use those values as they see fit to decide who to vote for or not vote for. Naming names and supporting specific candidates goes too far in my opinion, legal or not. Others are welcome to hold a different opinion.

I heard Reagans speech writer a few months ago being interviewed by Laura Ingraham, on that Reagan speech, and he said he wrote that entire speech including the line about tearing down the wall…even Laura was a little disappointed being how she is a big time Reagan old employee and fan.
Legions on September 20, 2007 at 6:26 PM

There is no way to guess what you “heard,” but the speechwriter came up with the “tear down this wall” line, and suggested it to Reagan, who asked him to put it in the speech. After the initial draft went out, that line got edited out, and Reagan kept writing it back in – apparently several times.

But, yes, the claim that Reagan, Thompson, and pretty much every other Republican liberals feel genuinely threatened by, are nothing but empty suits “just reading scripts” is a particularly idiotic lie – even for the moonbats. I guess that’s why I like it so much!
