Principles don't really matter to the leader of the extreme right wing James Dobson, partisan politics do. Yes, the theocrats are getting behind the Republican, which is no surprise. But, what is interesting is just how much crow Dobson has to eat.
Dobson in February 2008 as reported by World Nut Daily:
Evangelical Christian leader James Dobson has not endorsed a candidate for the Republican nomination, but his statement today declaring he would sit out the general election if Sen. John McCain becomes the GOP winner was quickly highlighted by Gov. Mitt Romney's campaign.Dobson in July 2008 as reported by the Associated Press:
Dobson, who noted he was not speaking in his capacity as founder and head of Focus on the Family, said he's "deeply disappointed" the Republican Party appears to be ready to nominate the Arizona senator, who is considered the front-runner ahead of tonight's results in the 22 Super Tuesday contests nationwide.
"I am convinced Sen. McCain is not a conservative and, in fact, has gone out of his way to stick his thumb in the eyes of those who are," Dobson said in a statement read on Laura Ingraham's nationally syndicated radio show. "He has at times sounded more like a member of the other party."
Conservative Christian leader James Dobson has softened his stance against Republican presidential hopeful John McCain, saying he could reverse his position and endorse the Arizona senator despite serious misgivings.
"I never thought I would hear myself saying this," Dobson said in a radio broadcast to air Monday. "... While I am not endorsing Senator John McCain, the possibility is there that I might."
