Great news for Dems in House races, as two targeted Republicans announced today that they would not run in 2008: http://www.campaigndiaries.com/2007/11/two-new-open-seats-in-house-as-two-more.html

Dirty Tricks, Heaven forbid, who would do such a dasterdly thing? Evangelical and conservative leaders are such honest people (they remind us all the time of their virtues). It shows that this group is so split that they are not the power that many are looking for to deliver the BLOCK!
Who else would Dobson support though, Gulie, Mitt, both have scabs that are not helping them with these people and Fred is dead. Perhaps if he doesn't support Huckabee, a third party is on the rise.
Why won't he support Huckebee? That is the big question.
And Why doesn't Weyrich have a copy of the e-mail?
HMMMMMMMMM, smells like a dead fish.
Can this all be Weyrichs way to get Dobbie to get off the fence, was there ever an e-mail to begin with?

The Bush administration have set their sights on Guiliani because they think he can possibly beat Hillary. Their all still playing the phoney religion card. They don't give a hoot how religious or "Christian"the candidate is. It's always, always about winning. And then they go to church and pray for their candidate to win.

Nothing warms my heart like a pissing match between leaders of the radical right. Dobson, Perkins, Robertson, and Weyrich (sounds more like a law firm)deserve each other. Don't tell me it was Jerry Falwell that held them all together.  Will wonders never cease!

Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards are all (1) on their first and only marriage, (2) are married to persons of the opposite sex, (3) love their children, and (4) still grieve over friends and loved ones they have lost. Now what "focus on the family" am I missing here?  

I think Weyrich should just stick to endorsing Romney and let Dobson speak for himself.  I wouldn't call that a "ferocious" response.  Weyrich needs to spend his time defending himself to the "moral majority" why he would endorse Romney...after seeing these two videos:

Daniel, thanks for the link but your post was off topic.  You see, you posted something about politics and First Read is not about politics.  Its about the race for president and nothing more.  it certainly isn't about tracking real power and policy in the US.

I read the story and would say that the news is almost a wash.  It is good that Saxton is chickening out.  Now, the democrats can pick up this seat and make NJ a little closer to "republican-free", like much of my state, California.  But, Cubin, quiting in Wyoming will, as the story pointed out, make it much harder for the democrats to pick up--I would say, very unlikely.  But, there is good news in this.  Trauner, the democrat who nearly brought down Cubin last year, is now free to run for one of the two senate seats up next year--one of which is open, due to the death of republican senator Thomas.  Meanwhile, the republican congressional campaign is broke while the democrats have stockpiled over 20 million dollars.  So, the race in NJ will benefit from this, while, there will be no republican money to go after any vulnerable democrats.  I see another pick up of seats for the democrats--somewhere between 15 and 30.  This may seem to be very important, but actually, with a democratic president the house dems won't need a veto-proof majority.

Why wouldn't Dobson support Huckabee?  As an evangelical Christian, Huckabee and Ron Paul are the only candidates he could support, and between the two, only Huckabee will continue pursuing terrorists throughout the world.

Is he going to go the way of Pat Robertson and endorse adultery and the destruction of the family?

Wow Chris thanks for sharing those videos. I was really leaning towards Romney but after seeing those who would ? I find it very odd that he has all of a sudden changed his mind now that he's running for Pres. Seems fishy to me. Typical polititian. I must say very disappointing.

And the conundrum grows, Who leaked it from the American Speculator and why did it get so twisted?
Underwhelmed with fRED, WHAT AMERICAN ISN'T!
Thy boat is full of holes brethren and gold is leaking from thy hold. Give it to the children, they will lead thee out of your self made Hades. Unlike Dante, you will not have an angel to guide you!

These sick clowns are every bit as bad as the "islamofascists".

All of these psuedo preachers and hucksters will come around to endorsing whomever the Republicans throw up for Prez.  Though they yammer on and on about "values", all they really care about is political access.  They place their narrow agenda above the necessities and real issues facing the nation.  Has anyone ever heard these supposedly "religious" leaders ever condemn the loss of life and devastation inflicted on Iraq by GW Bush and his Administration?  No, they'd rather go after gay marriage as their cause celebré.  But not a word about tap-dancing Larry Craig because he's a Republican.  This group relys on  situational ethics to guide their bogus "endorcements".  They'll hold their noses and support anyone on the ballot with an "R" next to his name.  So much for "values".

I'm more shocked that Paul Weyrich, founder of the Free Congress Foundation and co-founder of the Moral Majority has endorsed Romney.  Mainly because of the racist beliefs in the foundation of mormonism.  I work with an all-African American Religious organization with over 7,000 AfroAmerican churches as paying members; and 1978 has not been enough time to pass since their racists views stating black people have the "mark of cain."  whether or not romney holds this view is a mute point since the foundation of their beliefs had this for many, many years. http://www.realmormonhistory.com/god&skin.htm

Dobson may support Mitt Romney if he's driven by the urgency of finally making a primary endorsement. (He's never done so) Out of all the major candidates, he said Mitt was "still on the list" while he ruled out all the others.

Only republicans can "lose" email.

Romney all the way.  The most promising statesman to come forward for public service in years. Christians of any intellectual honesty can see that Romney is the complete candidate who will confront the social issues of our day with force, moral clarity, and civility.  No other Republican candidate even comes close to bringing so many skills and attributes to the table.  That's probably why he is steadily gaining support around the country and particularly in the early states.  He's the one to beat.

Robertson appears unprincipled - "playing it safe" - by backing Giuliani. The prize is Huckabee.  His tax plan ( http://snipr.com/scrapthecode ) is probably the single most important part of his platform.  Besides revolutionizing "worker psychology" from "victim" to "empowered freeholder," - the single greatest restoration of liberty in almost a century - passage of the plan will also turn around economic decline ( http://snipr.com/meltdowninprogress ).

"4) still grieve over friends and loved ones they have lost."

Please don't tell me you are ignorant of the Clinton "body count?"

Grieve indeed.

Some Republicans may lose email but, Liberals "lose" or deny access to entire years of all their files..Ask Hitlery about that one, she's got it down to a science. ( Although, she does know how to illegally find FBI files on her political adversaries quite well. )

On Dobson, the man has shown an obvious tendency to be "ferocious" in his responses...a religious leader who preaches his own word instead of God's whose membership declares his personal view is not theirs and has a temper to boot, that's just peachy.

One of the more hilarious fake comments I've read in a while:

"Wow Chris thanks for sharing those videos. I was really leaning towards Romney but after seeing those who would ? I find it very odd that he has all of a sudden changed his mind now that he's running for Pres. Seems fishy to me. Typical polititian. I must say very disappointing."

OMG!  Romney was my BFF! But now?!?!  No way!  He's a total creep!

:P

I saw Dobson's reaction to Thompson's offer that he wasn't interested in hearing another apology.

Dobson's face went flush red and his head tilted slightly down when he spoke.

I'ld say the boy has a serious temper problem just like McCain and Rudolph.
You all know McCains examples but, you may not have heard of Rudolphs;

Willard Romney is at best a Liberal clown!

No reasonable person can look at the imbeciles record and offer he's worth anything more than a management position at McDonalds!
