Conservative evangelical leader Dr. James Dobson admits that a third-party plan supported by pro-family leaders might unintentionally help elect democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton.
The influential pro-family advocate still contends, however, that he would rather vote following his values than compromise and be forced to choose between two pro-choice candidates.
“We’re very, very concerned about the implications of a Hillary Clinton presidency, but you know, we have been working … for 35 years, I’ve been trying to defend the unborn child,” Dobson said on Fox’s Hannity & Colmes show Monday.
“That’s been my life. That’s been my belief, along with marriage and the family and the other things. I can’t now abandon that because we’ve got two bad choices here.”
Currently leading the Democratic race and Republican race are New York senator Hillary Clinton and former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, respectively. Both have been criticized by conservatives for their pro-choice and pro-gay rights stances among other issues.
During a meeting in Salt Lake City, about 50 pro-family leaders decided they would consider backing a third-party candidate if the Republican Party chose a pro-choice nominee, such as Giuliani
In an Op-Ed in the New York Times last week, Dobson explained the coalition’s decision and the reasoning, stating that as “vitally important” as it is for the GOP to win the presidential election, it should not be won “at the expense of what we hold most dear.”
His announcement that a core Republican constituency could consider withdrawing their support from the party next year stirred controversy and created greater division in the already divided GOP.
“Why would we not support someone who does line up with our values system, when we would have to literally hold our noses to support somebody that contradicts those values?” Dobson posed to Hannity – who supports Giuliani despite agreeing with Dobson “99 percent” of the time.
When further pressed on the possibility that his third party plan could help Clinton, Dobson replied that the elections are still far away and are “very dynamic” and “volatile.”
“There’s still a possibility that one of those other candidates, a dark horse, could come from nowhere,” Dobson said.
As the frontrunner for the GOP presidential nomination, Giuliani has repeatedly stated he can beat Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton – an appealing statement for those who see Clinton as a larger threat.
A recent Gallup Poll also found that the former New York City mayor had an overall favorable rating from churchgoing Protestants. Among the top tier Republican candidates, Giuliani was rated third by religious Protestants after former senator Fred Thompson and Arizona senator John McCain.

PART 2: EXPOSING THE MASONIC CULT POLITICAL DECEPTION
I am also here to unfortunately announce that masons for years have invaded every sort of church, influencing what pastors preach in their congregations and even joining leadership positions within particular churches. It really doesn’t matter what the individuals particular religion or denomination, eventually their higher orders come from the leadership of the Masonic lodge. Unless pastors or individual Christians are told to compromise their convictions they are threaten with economic persecution by with holding from the offering plate or causing them to lose their jobs or their businesses by waging secret targeted boycotts against them by strategically empowering there competition or deflecting their customer somewhere else. (It is not an accident that even their leaders who control ALL global banks are called dragons.) Others who come up against them have been threatened with death if they use their power against to demands of their wing of the masons. The one world government is already here and many Christians have not realized it before. They identify themselves by the mark on their hand … their unorthodox handshake. Some leaders have not taken the mark.
VOTE AGAINST the FLOW … VOTE HUCKBEE!!!

PART 1: EXPOSING THE MASONIC CULT POLITICAL DECEPTION
RUDY (a mason) is the republican parties bait and trap. Hillary Clinton is from New York, and she will have more popularity than Rudy. Both Rudy, Romney, and Thompson (all masons) will lose against a Hillary- Obamanation (abomination) ticket. Every time the republican compromises their biblical pro-life principles they will ultimately lose elections. ie. DOLE. But may be it is time for the Christian in America to go through a massive religious persecution. I believe many Christians have taken for granted this period of time where the majority of our courts have been voted along side the constitution and are beginning to lean pro-life. I am convinced that many Christians are unaware of the fact that a president not only oversees a countries protection, they also pick the federal judges. Much of the younger Christian voters may not remember the heavy religious persecution that Christians experienced during the 70's and 80's. In those days, socialist progressives controlled the Democratic Party even as they are today. It is NOT an accident that Mikhail Gorbachev has a non-profit political foundation in CA and New York. Also it is not an accident that it is difficult for a person to be elected as president unless they belong to the Masonic Lodge. Masons are a secret society that is a combination of a secret mafia, a political machine, a cult, and the BORG from star trek - which gains power and influence over three areas of a society by recruiting members from the following three areas: 1) Business/ Banking 2) Print and Electronic media 3) Local-State-Federal Government. It really doesn't matter what party is in power both republicans and democrat when both groups belong to the Masonic lodge. Once a member gets pass their 30th degree in the Masonic lodge they must renounce their faith in Christ. Masonic leadership keeps their organization together by making its members secretly wealthy by sharing their wealth and power amongst themselves. Their agendas objective will always position them closer to a one-world government. If the party in power republican we move toward the one world government slower but if the political party is democrat we will move toward the one world government with lighting pace. Leaving the organization becomes difficult for some because their love for money and power is greater than their love for our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.
I won't vote for either one. Won't make a differentence anyway. This country will continue it's downward spiral until the Lord returns. All nations thru out history whose morals have fallen, has also fallen.
It's as simple as this: I will never vote for anyone who supports abortion.
Well zenodaddy, it looks we are getting the thumbs down on this one.I guess people are going to be more than willing to vote Hillary into Office.God help us all!!
Good job, zenodaddy.I listen to Hannity some, and he agrees with us that it is better to vote for Giuliani than to allow Hillary to try her socialist experiment on this country.Way to be there!!
