Update: James Dobson
As usual, I want to be fair to the people I discuss on this blog. While Dr Dobson still doesn’t seem any closer to understanding the value of federalism, I am not so sure he’ll be supporting any of the so-called “first tier” candidates. In fact, he may not support a republican candidate at all—which could be interesting on its own.
However, the big thing I want to talk about is that it has come to my attention that he was on Sean Hannity’s show the other day. On that show, Hannity did his best to browbeat Dobson into supporting Giuliani and Dobson wouldn’t budge. Further, he openly rebuked Hannity for his politics of fear, that he would vote contrary to principle out of his fear of losing—and then maybe losing to Hillary later. It’s good to hear someone with some influence reject the “boogieman” approach to politics endorsed my men like Hannity and Jason Engwer.
This is something that really needs to be said and I’m frankly surprised that the person who did it was Dr Dobson, but I’m thankful it was said regardless. He held firm to his refusal to support such immoral candidates and I can’t blame him for that. I’d like for him to get on the federalism bandwagon, but even if we disagree on that I can respect his uncompromising stance.
