Evangelical leader: GOP abandoned voters
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Conservative Christian leader James Dobson accused the RepublicaN Party of abandoning values voters in the midterm elections _ and paying the price by losing control of Congress.
"What did they do with their power?" Dobson said in a statement. "Very little that values voters care about." Finger-pointing abounded in the days after Democrats seized control of Congress after 12 years in the minority. Dobson, chairman of Focus on the Family, issued a statement railing against the Republicans for letting their majorities slip away. "They consistently ignored the constituency that put them in power until it was late in the game, and then frantically tried to catch up at the last minute," said Dobson, who argued that religious conservatives ensured GOP wins in 2004. |
