James Dobson's reaction to last night

From NBC's Chris Donovan
The results of the Iowa caucuses reveal that conservative Christians remain a powerful force in American politics," Dobson said in a statement. "That had to be a great shock to those on the far-Left! The New York Times wrote a demeaning obituary of Values Voters in an article called 'the Evangelical Crackup.' CNN piled-on, proclaiming the demise of the 'old values'... Sixty percent of the voters in the Iowa caucuses were self-identified Evangelicals, and 45 percent of them supported Mike Huckabee. The former governor may not become the eventual Republican nominee, and I have not endorsed him, but what happened there last night was evidence of an energized and highly motivated conservative community. Not bad for a supposed bunch of demoralized, depressed, disillusioned and disengaged Reaganites."

Jarrod - There is a big difference between supporting 'abortion' and supporting 'choice'. The democratic candidates are not in favor of abortion!! They believe there are many, many things to consider and that it is a CHOICE that needs to be made privately between a woman, her husband or family and her doctor.
