DR. JAMES DOBSON ENDORSES TIAHRT IN US SENATE PRIMARY
Conservative Leader Backs True Conservative Champion
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Todd Tiahrt (R-Goddard) today secured the high profile endorsement of Christian radio commentator, best-selling author and family advocate Dr. James Dobson. Dobson is the founder of the pro-family non-profit organization that produces his internationally syndicated radio programs where his commentaries are heard by more than 220 million people every day.
“I believe it is imperative that we elect Christian leaders who will fight for the principles that promote strong family values,” Dobson said. “Todd has never cowered in the face of a tough fight. Whether it is defending the lives of the unborn, working to preserve parental rights or standing up for traditional marriage, he has been willing to fight important battles at a time when many chose to sit on the sidelines.”
Dobson continued, “Todd not only votes the right way, but he also speaks out and helps lead the fight to get conservative policies enacted. His activism is not a recent development, but a mark of his entire political career.”
Dobson joins the growing list of conservatives who have endorsed Tiahrt including former US Attorney General John Ashcroft, Sen. Jim Inhofe, former Sen. Rick Santorum, Congressman Mike Rogers, former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, former Congressman Jim Ryun, and conservative talk radio icon Mark Levin. Tiahrt also has the support of groups such as; Concerned Women for America PAC, Kansans for Life PAC, Family Research Council PAC and Eagle Forum.
Tiahrt is the conservative candidate running to replace Sam Brownback in the United States Senate. He has been recognized throughout his career for fighting for lower taxes, traditional values and limited government.

Free of responsibilities to FOF, Dr. Dobson waists no time in being heard this cycle. Good on him. It will be interesting where he comes down as we move towards 2012.

Those endorsements of Tiahrt solidify my support for Rep. Jerry Moran and his solid record of limited-government, economic conservatism, in the KS GOP Senate primary.

[...] James Dobson, now divorced from Focus on The Family, has endorsed a candidate. There is no a big stretch here, but it is the kind of leadership that Dobson failed to show in ‘08. We have wondered if his departure from FOTF was in part motivated by the political restraints that organization forced upon him. This could get interesting . . . [...]
