Dobson- 'They just don't get it' is why republicans lost

[mikeybabe125]

now of all times Mr. Dobson from focus on the family chooses to slam the rethugs about ignoring the Christian values...


The so-called "values voters" who handed both houses of Congress and the White House to Republicans in 2000 and 2004 were at this year's election, they just didn't see anybody promising to represent them, according to several leaders influential to that group of Americans.

"The unfortunate thing is that Republican leaders still don't appear to get it. Sen. Arlen Spector, R-Pa., said on Wednesday that the election results represented a 'seismic earthquake' and that his party must become 'a lot more progressive and a lot less ideological,'" said James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family and director of its dozens of publications and broadcast service that reaches about five million Americans daily.

"Dick Armey emerged from four years in the wilderness to blame conservative Christians for Tuesday's defeat. They were, he said, 'too involved' with the party. He can't be serious! Someone should tell him that without the support of that specific constituency, John Kerry would be president and the Republicans would have fallen into a black hole in '04," he said.

"In fact, that is where they are headed if they continue to abandon their pro-moral, pro-family and pro-life base. The big tent will turn into a three-ring circus," Dobson said.

:grr: :nuke:

If I have to hear that hateful phrase "values voter" just one more time from right-wingers, I think I'm going to do something rash.

THAT's why they lost. That phrase "values voter" is a textbook example of their holier-than-thou, smug, sanctimnious attitude.
