Evangelical SHOCKER!!! Dobson To Endorse Huckabee

Dr. James Dobson, who has largely been made irrelevant to the 2008 Republican presidential race, has apparently found his man, and according to an adviser, is ready to change the landscape of the Republican nomination race.

"He is the leader of the evangelical and social conservative movement in America, and he's going to reassert that position and leave no doubt that he's in charge," says the adviser based in Colorado.

Sources close to Dobson say that within the next ten days he is coordinating an endorsement plan with the presidential campaign of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. According to a Huckabee insider in Iowa, the event would be staged in that state at a rally, followed by a bus tour across the state, and an appearance by Huckabee on Dobson's radio show, which is heard nationally.

So, we got dueling fundies and their dueling candidates. In one corner is Rudy and Pat and in the other is Mike and Jimmy. Sweet.

Once Rudy or Mittens wins the Nomination, Huckabee will not, they have to decide anew whether to violate one of their hard and fast principles by backing the Repub nominee or supporting a 3rd Party Candidate.

by making Huckabee the veep?

a hell of a lot of jockeying of late. Frankly, I am betting - and concerned about - a Romney/ Huckabee ticket, although with Brownback weighing in with McCain a McCain/ Huckabee combination is a possibility. The Robertson endorsement of Guiliani is, I think, ultimately pretty worthless, outside of showing what hypocritical, opportunistic pieces of garbage both Guiliani and Robertson are.

edit: typo

A perfect scenario? A Republican-probably Rudy, a Fundie-approved Independent, and Ron Paul as an Independent. Here's hoping Republicans choose purity.

Ah God, fetuses flying everywhere, the horror...the horror...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

:spank::spank::spank::spank:

The timing is interesting since Robertson just threw his support for Guiliani yesterday. Does this point to a power struggle within the evangelical world or will they both end up bending over for whomever wins the republican nomination? Either way, it sounds like they're having a hard time getting noticed this time around.

"He is the leader of the evangelical and social conservative movement in America, and he's going to reassert that position and leave no doubt that he's in charge," says the adviser based in Colorado." Dobson can't be outshone. He's already ruled out McCain, Rudy, and Thompson, and he can't risk pushing a Mormon, so Huckabee is it by default. But he's going to play it like he's THE kingmaker. Love to watch these Fundie idiots duke it out--reminds me why I would never vote for any of these guys.

I guess what Dobson doesn't understand is that a true leader doesn't have to do much reassertion. People are either inspired to follow you or they aren't. This is so...what's the word....oh yeah, PATHETIC. So much grasping at straws, it's almost too sad to watch.

oral roberts son to endorse mccain's wife's wardrobe.

People who hate in the name of Jesus Christ in disarray. Looking for new ways to claim that they are being persecuted in the land of the free.

hello BOSS, Happy Friday to you!..:toast:

I'm pretty sure I know what Jesus would do (with them.)

And a Happy Friday to you My Dear. Heading to the quarter in a couple of weeks Christmas Shopping (without the wife in tow.) I'll check to see if Johnny White's Sports Bar has its Virginia Dare Christmas ornament up this year.

And cheers to Virginia and Mississippi. They both put their respective state senates in the hands of the Democrats. The majority is a teeny tiny one in MS but a majority nonetheless.

If Dobson gives him an extra few percent, it could make Huckabee a factor.

And, Huckabee could be a tough opponent, as he has less baggage than Rudy, McCain, Thompson & Romney and comes across as reasonably personable on TV the one or two times I've seen him on air.

Isn't Huckabee the guy that though Canada's Parliament met in an igloo?

and, he can speak coherently.

but I have trouble believing that they'd fall for the "good ol' boy" routine again.

He's different than Bush because of blah blah blah.

real nice guy Huckabee is - said "gee, we all like you around here" - on Fuckall last night.

:shrug:

for a woman's rape and murder "baggage".

during the campaign, then why would it stop him in the future?

It shall be known, if he's the nominee (which I doubt). I'm not even sure why he'd be a good VP pick.

If not, then I don't think people are going to get worked up about it. #1 issue is Jobs. #2 Iraq/Terrorism

him not to do it. In fact, he announced he would set Dumond free BEFORE he took office. Dumond's rape victim (distant cousin of Bill Clinton) BEGGED him personally, face-to-face, not to release him. And when all was said and done, after pressuring the parole board to let him go, he tried to go back and blame it all on Bill Clinton. Boy, that's a classy guy, right there. Yes, he does have blood on his hands.

Because she's all flash bulbs platitudes.

defending the wackaloon so much--on other threads, too. We used to have a lot of Fred Thompson fans here too, a ways back. They're finally gone now. You know, there are probably better sites for you to express your love for corrupt fundie GOP assholes than DU.

Did I tell you that he was the dark horse of the race? And weren't you the one that disagreed? He's a very typical candidate for the republicans. Republican, southern, governor, palatable to the evangelicals. He's not as loony as Brownback, but he's good enough. Especially when guys like Robertson and Dobson are selling their souls to stay relevant. And I think the article says the same thing. You think people will get worked up about that rape case? Republicans will ignore it. Democrats will worry about jobs, war, environment, etc. The case will ultimately be meaningless. Don't blame me for your lack of foresight.

He's even got bad teeth, just like the "little people".

Like I said, you don't know anything. I'm sure it helps your ego to believe you do though.

BTW, nice job refuting me. Your personal attacks have done nothing to challenge my point. Why? Because you can't.

Here's the original post: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=389&topic_id=2180743#2182963

I said: "He is a little bit of everything for them without all the big negatives."
You said: "You obviously know nothing about Hucky."

I think it's my turn now. You obviously know nothing about Hucky.

I showed you some big negatives. And you thanked me for the info. If you choose not to believe them, or they don't dissuade you from your fan-dom, that's OK. We all have our secret crushes!

Dissuade me from what? Republicans don't care about ethics issues. By the time it gets to the general election, it's going to be a non issue. I suppose the disagreement is over the term "big negatives." I still believe he doesn't have them to the degree that Guiliani, McCain, and Romney do. Also, he has the typical republican presidential characteristics. You can make this as personal as you want, but ultimately I am correct.

Exactly what we could have hoped for--a split in the crazy vote.

Just can't. stand. the suspense.

Haggard agrees with his stance.

George W. Bush. I mean if he had another chance to scam the people after getting caught, why shouldn't Bush.

He's the most republican of the republicans. He typical of modern pukes.

This is just dick swinging by Dobson. He's telling Robertson that his is bigger than Robertsons.

a lot of them will vote for Paul too..this is the final nail in the coffin of the Reagan legacy.

the crazies have gone crazy

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

John McCain kissed the wrong preacher man.

:scared:

and one involving Dobson and Huckabee is something I just wouldn't want to see.
