Family advocate James Dobson, widely considered an important GOP rainmaker, says he will not vote for former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani under any circumstance in the upcoming presidential elections because of his positions on abortion, domestic partnerships for homosexual couples and other moral issues.
Dobson says today in an exclusive WND column, speaking strictly as a private citizen, "I cannot, and will not, vote for Rudy Giuliani in 2008."
"It is an irrevocable decision," says the founder and chairman of Focus on the Family. "If given a Hobson's – Dobson's? – choice between him and Sens. Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama, I will either cast my ballot for an also-ran – or if worse comes to worst – not vote for the first time in my adult life."
Dobson says, "My conscience and my moral convictions will allow me to do nothing else."
Dobson also said that he would not take a shower with, or "be going Dobson" with Giuliani. But, Newt Gingrich might be SpongeDob Stickypants worthy.

Back in January, James Dobson gave an interview where he said that there was one candidate whom he could absolutely not vote for in the Republican primary, and that was John McCain.
"Well, let me say that I am not in the office. I'm in the little condo so I can speak for myself and not for Focus on the Family," Dobson said in rejecting McCain's leadership.
He noted that legislation he'd just been discussing on the program, regarding an attempt by Democrat leaders in Congress to create obstacles for ministries such as Focus to reach constituents with action messages about pending legislation, is being supported by McCain, too.
"That came from McCain, and the McCain Feingold Bill kept us from telling the truth right before elections … and there are a lot of other things. He's not in favor of traditional marriage, and I pray that we won't get stuck with him," Dobson said.
The gay marriage thing is a dodge. McCain flipped back to the far right side on that. In fact, on issues other than campaign finance, McCain is basically a hard right conservative. He is anti abortion, he is strongly in favor of the war, yet he is unacceptable to Dobson mainly because of campaign finance reform.
This is the apostasy that can not be forgiven. Dobson has forgiven Newt Gingrich for serial adultery, hypocrisy and has given him a quasi endorsement if he runs. That is ok. Not allowing Dobson to blast spam churches with his endorsements for congressional seats and ballot propositions and now you are talking about a rift that can not be mended.
This is exactly why campaign finance reform, as flawed as it's execution has been, is the one really good idea that McCain has signed on to during his career. Dobson is trying to mix his pulpit with the electoral process, in effect saying that through Jesus, James Dobson is telling you who to support. The fact that Dobson is so interested in becoming a king maker, in effect the man behind Caesar is reason enough to not allow him to mix politics and religion in such a blatant way.
As much as people want to bring up examples on the left. There is not such a strong message of vote Jesus, vote for my candidates among any vocal person on the left at least with any kind of reach that Dobson has. He has a radio show syndicated across the country, and a copy machine ready to fire up millions of pamphlets ludicrously trying to explain to us how Jesus thinks Newt Gingrich is swell.
I suspect this is not what Christ intended.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a potential Republican presidential candidate, will appear on James Dobson's Focus on the Family radio show and describe getting on his knees and seeking God's forgiveness for his moral failures, according to excerpts released Wednesday by the evangelical group.
Gingrich talked to Dobson by phone for a two-part installment to air today and Friday.
Focus on the Family spokesman Gary Schneeberger emphasized that the men do not discuss the presidential race and that Gingrich's appearance should not be read as an endorsement.
This is incredibly rich. Newt Gingrich of the divorcing his wife while she went under cancer treatments, getting hummers in the office from office staff, while married to wife #2 is now SAVED! Praise Jesus, pass the endorsements along Dr. Dobson. What a load of crap. Gingrich's problem isn't as much his shriveled penis as it is his enormous ego. Gingrich wouldn't humble himself in front of God. He would humble himself under SpongeDob though in order to get an endorsement.
