Your Prowler's Friday notations on the ultra sanctimonious and condescension specialist (unless you disagree and/or are standing in his way) James Dobson would have been semi amusing, had it not been for his typical tactic of lipping off and barging in where uninvited. Clumsy too.

I'm a Deist who's not backing Fred Thompson and will probably vote for Rudy Giuliani -- but it's the manner in which Dobson inserts himself that becomes so appalling. Candidly, his leaks suck. And like Pat Robertson, Jesse Jackson, Jerry Falwell, Al Sharpton and Jimmy Swaggart, he makes my skin crawl.

No "small-government Republican" he (for that matter, these days I'm unable to recall anyone other than Oklahoma's Coburn and Inhofe), Dobson would flood the land with his moralistic pontificating and push for more intrusive laws, like banning the "Morning After" pill; one California congressman already tried. Reminds one of the GOP panderer who got the Anti-Internet Wagering bill passed (Goodlatte and some other obnoxious folk catering to the Baptist bunch perhaps?) while the government enjoys Off Track Betting, lotsa Lottos, and Bingo night with all the members of the congregation(s).

p>Can you say "Double Standards?" Can you say Hypocrisy? It's all against what previous Republicans advocated: smaller, more efficient, less costly government, not interfering with individual freedom. Barry Goldwater would have a case of the terminal vapors if he were to see what those clowns have done since his demise. James Dobson and his advocates make me want to puke -- and I guess that's why I've become an independent of the semi-Libertarian type; I didn't leave the GOP. It left me. And with weasels like Trent Lott, wimpy Dubya (caving in to most Politically Correct garbage), and those others afraid or unable to stand up to the likes of Pat Leahy, Teddy Kennedy, Dick Durbin, Hillary R. Clinton, grungy Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, we're in a world of serious hurt. Thoroughly sickening! br> -- Geoff Brandt /p> p> As usual you got this wrong about Dobson. He is not some political animal. You were wrong about Jack and now about Fred. I have personally heard from him that he did not say that Fred was not a Christian. He did not know if he was. And he was not supporting anyone as of yet. That is a far cry from no support for Fred or that he was not a Christian. Please stop trying to rehash old non stories. br> -- Joseph D'Ambrosia /p>
