Vote in Ohio Damaged Dobson as well as John Kerry             

       It appears as though Dobson’s capitulation was forced by the vote in Ohio, which also rejected John Kerry’s bid to become President.

       In Ohio, the voters overwhelmingly approved a strong amendment to their constitution, which included opposition to civil unions.          

       Because of Dobson’s $120 million in annual income, he had been able to force those who disagreed with him to soften their opposition and appear to go along in order not to destroy the movement. President Bush also was required to go along with plans with which he did not agree because he knew of the impasse in the movement.

       The last several years have seen a putsch as the President  of the Family Research Council (FRC), Atty. Ken Connor, was fired in 2002 and replaced by a sycophant, Tony Perkins.

       All of Dobson’s affiliates and the other organizations which he controls: FRC, Alliance Defense Fund and his many state affiliates (MFI in Massachusetts) had to cow tow.

       When the President of Concerned Women for America, Sandy Rios, did not move fast enough to satisfy him, he even forced out the head of that independent organization.

       The credit after Daniels article in the Washington Times says that his organization is “dedicated to ensuring more children are raised in a home with a mother and a father.” That appears to be a safe retreat because almost everyone will agree with that goal.
