Dobson and the Christian Right

For 30 years Dr. Dobson has shown up before each election, to denounce the Republican nominee for not being pure enough on abortion. He wants the candidate to say that he believes Roe v. Wade is wrong and that it must be overturned.
Last night I saw an interview with him on Hannity and Colmes. He is not backing any of the top tier candidates and suggests that if either Giuliani, Thompson, Romney or McCain gets the nomination, that he would be in favor convincing someone to run in a Third Party.
Hannity asked Dobson if he realized that this would assure a Hillary win, who is for all abortion, including partial birth abortion. Dobson’s answer was one we hear all of the time from conservatives: “I have my principles that I have to stand by.”
What kind of principles would cause a person to take an action that would assure the victory of a candidate who will never appoint Judges that would overturn Roe v. Wade? Especially at a time when we have four conservative Supreme Court Justices!
Has Dobson become like the Reverends Jackson and Sharpton, who simply want to hold on to an issue, and by doing so stand in the way of progress?

Dr. Dobson doesn't understand the "times" we're living with and the WAR ON Terror. If HDC gets the WH then you bet the farm that she'll roll back programs that have protected this country and then we'll have our backside open for another attack. Maybe some WMD's. Question I posted to Dr. Dobson on his website. Is he willing to accept another attack for his CONVICTIONS? Is he willing to accept the WAR coming to our shores, again. Would Winston Churchill meet his qualifications in WWII?
Dr. Dobson doesn't understand what we're up against.
Dobson taking that stance...Gary Bauer, a proven conservative on every issue, disagrees with him...so do I.
