Is Dr. James Dobson Helping Huckabee in MI & SC?
Posted by: Matt Kauble | 01/15/2008 8:00 AM
I ask the question above, because on the day preceeding and the day of the Michigan Republican Primary, Focus on the Family ran a broadcast of a sermon given by Pastor John MacArthur entitled "A Nation Abandoned by God". With Mike Huckabee the only candidate of the 3 competitive in Michigan and the only candidate of the 4 competitive in South Carolina addressing moral values of late, this powerful message delivered last May on the National Day of Prayer by Los Angeles area pastor John MacArthur might get voters who otherwise would not have voted to turn out and vote for Governor "Pastor" Huckabee. While I don't think these broadcasts will be enough to give Huckabee the win, they may be enough to sap enough strength from Mitt Romney to give John McCain the victory. Of course I could be wrong.
Below are the links to the two broadcasts.
A Nation Abandoned by God (Parts 1 & 2)
Mondays' broadcast: http://listen.family.org/daily/A000000496.cfm
Tuesday's broadcast: http://listen.family.org/daily/A000000497.cfm
Here is how Focus on the Family describes the broadcast:
How does a society like ours get to a point where people believe that evil is good and wrong is right? The answer, says the Rev. John MacArthur, is found in Romans 1:28: "[God] gave them over to a depraved mind." Once this happens - once God gives up on a nation - is there any hope left? Rev. MacArthur presents a sobering message that will encourage you to pray for revival in America.
"There's no surer indicator of a corrupted, wicked and abandoned society under God's wrath than when that society does not tolerate anger against sin." - Rev. John MacArthur

Allen Wilson is exactly the kind of person who would like another Bush term. I applaud the SGV...
I am voting for Mike Huckabee with great pride.
socially sound. fiscally a disaster waiting to happen. foriegn relations is a joke... really that what he does almost every interview when asked about serious issues oversees.
Mike Huckabee will never win any of the democratic candidates. you lose fiscal conservatives and military people. moderates will not vote for him because they fear a theocracy.
really his policies are like Edwards lite. why vote for a liberal republican when you can have the whole enchalada in a democrat.
Huck = democratic white house.
While some of his fiscal actions as a governor and some of his statements on foreign policy have given me some pause, I would not go as far as saying he would be a Democrat in the White House.
For one he has stated that he supports the surge in Iraq and continued troop presence there to stabilize the country. His statements on Guantanamo are similar to those of John McCain and to those made by other Republicans within the current administration. Now while I would not support moving those terrorists to the US, we have other similiarly situated military installations located offshore where we could relocate some of the worst of the worst to make sure we keep them off the streets.
As far as his fiscal policies, his currently stated policies could lead to a better fiscal situation. His big problem is that his record as Governor lends no proof that he will carry out these newly articulated policies.
Finally, as far as electability, Huckabee is the best communicator of all of our current field. If he can combine his socially conservative mooring with a conservative version of populist economics, similar to what Ronald Reagan did in his first successful run in 1980, he might be able to beat any of the Democrats this November. This conservative version of Populist economics must emphasize how government actions, whether they be tax or regulatory policies, raise the cost of living and the cost of doing business, which costs are people jobs. He is moving in this direction, but he is not there yet.
Huckabee is strong where it matters most: 2nd amendment, Life, and Judges. Everywhere else he is a disaster, but a pill Republicans could swallow. McCain would be the death of conservatism and the Republican party.
Romney is the Party's best bet.
Actually the party's best bet would be Fred Thompson, but unless he pulls out a miracle in South Carolina, he is toast.
Do u know the connections Dobson has to certain foreign interests?
