If there’s one ultimate sin in conservative circles, it’s not embezzling funds or cheating on your wife. It’s flip-flopping. And that’s just what James Dobson, ousted ex-leader of Focus on the Family, did in Kentucky’s senatorial primary.
After endorsing Republican candidate Trey Grayson last week, he’s yanked his stamp of approval — and gifted it on Rand Paul, son of Tea Party favorite Ron Paul. How come?
“Senior members of the GOP told me Dr. Paul is pro-choice and that he opposes many conservative perspectives, so I endorsed his opponent,” Dobson said. “But now I’ve received further information from OB/GYNs in Kentucky whom I trust, and from interviewing the candidate himself.”
Heavens to Betsy, Dobson admits he’s been punk’d! By conservatives! Oh James, just give up.

Come on Queerty! Considering all the vile things JD has done (as well as all the rest of the Religious Reich) this is innocuous in comparison.
And speaking of “talking Gay” like an article a few items up, has anyone heard JD on the radio? He sounds like he’s got a little of it himself!

James Dobson is gay. That’s what people who have known him for years say. The man who co-founded Focus on the Family with Dobson even said this.

Dobson aside, a powerful sub-current of this story feeds right into prevalent tea party sentiments: The GOP leadership cannot be trusted.

The Bible says the LOVE of money is the root of all evil. If he really is Gay, his organization proves it. Hate the Gays (among other things) to get a following and part them from their $$$. Hephaestion – which co-founder said Dobson was Gay?

#3 – I don’t think the DEMS can be trusted either. They had control over both houses of congress for many years and still minimum wage was $3.10/hr for a LONG time.
THE RAPIER
JAMES DOBSON HAS REINCARNATED FROM HIS FORMER LIFE AS AN EVIL CATHOLIC PRIEST DURING THE DARK AGES WHEN HE TORTURED AND MURDERED WOMEN. DOBSON IS A MISOGYNIST WHO IS DESPERATE TO MAINTAIN THE POWER PERCH OF SINGLE GENDER RULE ON THIS PLANET. HE PREACHES HATE. HE THINKS WOMEN ARE COWS AND SHOULD BE FORCED TO GIVE BIRTH WHETHER THEY WANT TO OR NOT. HIS SPIRITUAL EDUCATION IS SORELY LACKING AND SHALLOW. THE SOUL DOES NOT ENTER THE FETUS AT CONCEPTION. HURRAY! FOR THE PLANET THAT HE GOT FIRED. HE SHOULD GO TO HADES WITH HIS MEAN-SPIRITED PROPAGANDA. HE’S NO CHRISTIAN.

Rapier – would you like to provide a source for your assertion JD is reincarnated? And while I understand some feel “forcing women to give birth” is wrong, others feel murdering innocent life is pretty hateful. To quote a slogan, one person dies every time there is an abortion…..
