I could not believe it as I watched H&C's last night. Hannity was interviewing Dr. Dobson, who will not endorse Giuliani. Hannity tried his hardest to convert Dobson onto Giuliani's side but Dobson would not budge. Dobson says if he had to, he would endorse someone as a third party candidate. Hannity tried to convince Dobson what an error this would be, but Dobson would have nono of Hannity's spinning.
Now there is a man with priciples (Dr. Dobson)....
As for Hannity? I think it is totally wrong for him to be bandstanding for Giuliani on TV!! If he wants to vote for Giuliani, fine. But lobbying for him on his show? Very unethical if you ask me.

The only time I used to listen to Hannity was on my commute home. He started making me sick with all his in-your-face support of Giuliani. Luckily, the Dallas station who carried him adjusted the afternoon line-up and when I get in the car I get to listen to Mark Levin - a greater American than Hannity who speaks out of both sides of his mouth by saying he's against illegal immigration and at the same time supports the illegal alien-loving Giuliani. (I know Giuliani has recently said he's against illegal immigration but, come on, do you really believe him? We all learned that hard lesson with the Calderone-loving Bush.)

Exclusive: Dr. James Dobson talks with Sean Hannity
Tuesday, October 09, 2007
This is a rush transcript from "Hannity & Colmes," October 8, 2007. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated
SEAN HANNITY, CO-HOST: Our top story tonight: Now, you have heard the reports about some conservatives being upset with the positions of the Republican frontrunners for president. Well, tonight, in a "Hannity & Colmes" exclusive interview, Dr. James Dobson addresses those concerns and what he plans to do about it.
HANNITY: Well, you knew when you wrote this op-ed in The New York Times that it would create a lot of controversy. It's got a lot of people talking.
Let me just surmise this for everybody. You and about 50 pro-family leaders met in Salt Lake City. And after two hours of deliberation, you came up with a resolution that you surmised in The New York Times op-ed as the following: "If neither of the two major political parties nominates an individual who pledges himself or herself to the sanctity of human life, we will join others in voting for a minor party candidate. Those agreeing with the proposition were invited to stand, and the result was almost unanimous."
********************************
WHO IS James Dobson you may ask.
Dobson is now America's most influential evangelical leader, with a following reportedly greater than that of either Falwell or Robertson at his peak.
In other words if Republicans choose a nonProLife or nonProFamily they will choose third party causing the Democrats to win and that is the name of the game. Read the whole interview it was interesting.

Dr Dobson said he'd rather have Dems you could fight rather than Repubs you voted in and therefore couldn't really fight them as much cause they voted for them. I was tickled listening to Anne get the best of Alan - can't stand Alan.

I could not believe it as I watched H&C's last night. Hannity was interviewing Dr. Dobson, who will not endorse Giuliani. Hannity tried his hardest to convert Dobson onto Giuliani's side but Dobson would not budge. Dobson says if he had to, he would endorse someone as a third party candidate. Hannity tried to convince Dobson what an error this would be, but Dobson would have nono of Hannity's spinning.
Now there is a man with priciples (Dr. Dobson)....

Hannity is a staunch New Yorker and a Roman Catholic. So is Rudy, although I'm not to sure about his true blue adherance to the RC church. They are two peas in the same pod, or at least adjacent pods.
As for Hannity's support on Fox for Rudy, I'm sure he's within the boundaries set by Fox or it would jeopardize his position. Also I'm sure since his show has such high ratings Fox is not going to be too strict with him. It all goes with the territory. Like Rush always says "get your own show." That may be in our faces, but, it's true. They've both worked hard to get where they are and should be allowed leeway, or are we advocating another loss of the right to speak out freely? If his ratings begin to fall so will is liberties to speak as freely. How about Colmes? He says things sometimes that make me wish someone would wring his neck, figuratively that is.
P.S. Rudy is a liberal conservative if that can be said without being a complete oxymoron. Hannity is so enamored with Rudy I'm sure he believes his stuff doesn't stink.
FYI Rudy Giuliani's New York law firm represents News Corp. News Corp is owned by Rupert Murdock. Rupert Murdock is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. News Corp owns FOX NEWS CHANNEL, NEW YORK TIMES, WALL STREET JOURNAL and many other major news outlets.
I lost all respect for Sean Hannity about May. I do not watch much of Fox News any more, and do not go out of my way to listen to Sean on the radio.
GET CONGRESS ATTENTION! CHANGE YOUR W-4 AT WORK AND CLAIM 10 DEPENDENTS SO NO TAXES WILL BE TAKEN FROM YOUR PAYCHECK. WHEN THE MONEY STOPS COMING IN MAYBE THEY WILL REMEMBER THEY ARE SERVANTS TO WE THE PEOPLE.
There's a Good Chance That if Guiliani is the Candidate, Hillary Will Win Anyway - I think the Repubs are in trouble.
Republicans are definately in trouble. If Giuliani wins the GOP nomination, many voters will stay home and not even go to the polls to see if there is a conservative third party candidate on the ticket.
God Help Us!

I haven't listened much to Hannity lately because of his staunch support of Rudy. It seems to me that he is giving up some of his principles to support him....such as his pro-life and anti-immigration stance. I thought when I saw his interview with Thompson that he was rather distant with him compared to his interviews with Rudy too.

Hannity has become to Hillary what most liberals are to George Bush. As evil as she may be and as bad as it would be if she were president, the depth of hatred Sean has for her is eating his soul just as surely as libtards in their irrational hatred of George Bush are losing (or have lost) their souls. I think he cares less about the republican candidate's positions than about their perceived probability to beat Hillary. His hatred of Hillary has allowed him to make a Faustian bargain to accept the devil he doesn't know to avoid the devil he does know. It doesn't have to be that way. Any of the Republican candidates could beat Hillary if the party got behind them, and that includes the 2nd tier. It may not be easy, but the first tier are not a lock, either. In fact, the first tier are so inadequately differentiated from Hillary that she may well be more likely to beat them. The Republicans have strayed far from home and their base and that needs to be rectified, no matter who is nominated. Dr Dobson has just clarified that there are some for which rectification will not be possible. I'm realizing more each election, that like social security, the longer we wait to fix the problem, the bigger and more intractable the problem becomes. The problem is republican candidates who do not represent most republicans. If we continue to vote for the lesser of evils, then we won't ever see candidates in the future who are not evil. Sadly, after the midterm debacle at the polls, and in spite of all of the conservative pundits, the republican party leaders still think the republican party needs to move left in order to win. Nothing could be further from the truth! IMHO.

The republican parties stuborness will be their downfall and will give the victory to the dems, but I see the front runners in both parties as the same. Big money and big government and globalization. Big money will block anyone good at all cost and blind America wont know the difference. They are too busy with either work or self to even care. All a good portion of America care about is what do I get out of it, especially health care , no matter who pays. Im watching and Im getting increasingly sickened by it. I can understand how man destroys himself in the end. I still wish the bottom teir republicans would join forces and if they dont, they are basically giving it away too. Pride before a fall thing.

Ms. Bobbie - that's exactly my stance. Sean is a neo-con talking head. He demeans anyone except the neo-con CFR members. He acts like a college kid during the debates if the polling doesn't go as he hoped. I've never seen such immaturity in a talking head...he can't even attempt to professionally hide his contempt for Ron Paul. It's pathetic.

Of all the enemies to public liberty, war is perhaps the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other.

That's quite a moral psychoanalysis of Mr. Hannity Feedfwd. I t's also a bipolar example of the real fracturization within the Conservative mindset. Also, I'm sure if you presented him with that he'd rebutt it as astutely. Maybe we should discontinue our psychoanalysis' and just stand behind whoever we believe would be the best and allow the majority rule and our electoral system to do its job as it has always done so? Maybe not too? As I was put into place yesterday for using the "lessor of two evils" analogy, it struck me that what you or I may deem as "evil" may not be evil to another, or others, and even within Christian organizations. You know!, as an example, if I'm a vegetarian and you are not, who's right or more correct? Even so, I will continue to emphasize with you that the Republican Party has allowed itself to become fractured, which I believe is due to much extent to the left's incessant hounding and propogandization of our conservative elected officials. A steady drip, drip, drip, has convinced many of the conservative constituency that indeed they, our officials, truly are evil bums or whatever. This will indeed lead to a third party debacle, that will if not brought to light now, be the "deja vu ala Perot" re-election of another Clinton into the White House.
I have a question for you? Do you think that Newt is posturing himself with this non profit organization he's deeply engrossed with for the 2012 election? I do.
People in the northeast ARE enamored with Rudy. That's a fact. Some of us also want the gubmint out of our lives, which means abortion too.
If Dr. Dobson gets his way, President Hillary will pay for fetis stem cell research, and turn the abortion clinics into stem cell factories. A big win for the NOW anti-mens club. Dr. Dobson should focus on saving souls, and try not to kill the USA by taking a pee on the moral high ground.
I denounce abortion, I also denounce Dobson, and I denounce people who throw their vote away. The last time large amounts of Americans through their votes away, Slick Willy Clinton chased skirts for 8 years while al Qaeda took aim at the Twin Towers. I wonder how much money the Clinton campaign is giving to Dr. Dobson, eh ?
When a candidate listens to you, like Rudy stating that he will reduce abortions and simplify and increase adoptions, you vomit hate rather than accept your influence for what it is. But then, he is an Italian Catholic, how the heck could you ever stoop so low to vote for a scum like Rudy no matter what he promised ? Get a grip on your hate, Jesus would appreciate that.
Gerald47, I like your thinking. I favor Rudy, but I am also a fan of Hunter and Tancredo. I think there are many good men running in the Republican ranks, and they are polite to each other. This makes me proud. But, when outsiders throw mud I find that an attempt to take from me my freedom of choice. I will vote for any Republican because I know the democrats are corrupt, and corrupt leaders have never done anything good for their people. Just look at how the unions who loyally supported the democrats have fared under Clinton and a democrat Congress......NAFTA. NAFTA is a fatal wound on America and if not reversed, the sun sets on our beloved democracy. Dr. Dobson, on the other hand is willing to throw a block for a sprinting Hillary, like Ross Perot did for her hubby for the quid pro quo his son received in the Dallas (I believe) free trade zone. It's bad enough to have an anti-American media, but to struggle against an army of self appointed God's children is overwhelming.
Please save America for God, don't kill America for God. Focus...focus on the issues. Abortion is not one of them, except for the whore down the street who would have twenty children by now without it, but she is not America, we are. Stay focused.
NAFTA is a fatal wound on America and if not reversed, the sun sets on our beloved democracy.
Isn't Rudy's Houston law firm connected with the TransTexas Corridor - which is connected with NAFTA?

I personally do not care what anyone thinks of abortion or gay rights or free health care. I care about the sovereignty of our Republic, and my vote will go to the candidate whom I think will work toward preserving it.
Unfortuantely, MSM is not talking about that option. If We The People do not stand up for it, talk to our friends and neighbors and family members and coworkers about it and the eminent danger that it is going to be lost, it will be lost. Then abortion and gay rights and free health care will not seem important. The horse will have left the barn and we will never get it back.

I have no idea what Newts plans are. He is a smart man and educated man and a good politician. I wouldn't want to play cards with him. He is conservative and that is a good thing, but this CFR thing makes you want to question the motives of anybody who is part of it. CFR may be nothing, but there is enough evidence to keep the tin foil available and the only ones denying the significance of the CFR are the supporters of CFR members. The CFR members themselves never say anything that comes close to rebutting the CFR stuff unless you count FDT's watered down response... "I'm a member simply to keep an eye on them and make sure they aren't up to no good..." yeah right!
Amador,
Ends justify the means? There was a time when a man's word was his bond and a man's integrity was the one thing nobody could take away from him. You may not like his positions, but I truly believe Dr Dobson is of the old school who holds his principles at all cost. I'll just bet if Dr Dobson was receiving money from the Clintons or their associates and he knew it, he wouldn't accept it. I think the republican party will be surprised to find out just how many principled people there are come election time. Let me ask you a question. Since it appears many "arch conservatives" won't vote for Rudy McRomney, would Rudy's supporters vote for one of the 2nd tier if they win the nomination? If not, why? If so, then maybe Republicans better think long and hard about who should be nominated. Does anybody believe that it would be more effective to try and attract moderate to liberal votes from Hillary than to try and get out the base?
