James Dobson Endorses Rick Santorum

In a move that I suspect surprised no one, James Dobson, the head of Focus on the Family (an anti-gay hate group), endorsed Rick Santorum’s run for president. Right Wing Watch says Dobson picked Santorum because “Dobson feared the repercussions of electing Newt Gingrich and having ‘a woman who was a man’s mistress for eight years’ as First Lady.”

The report goes on: “In his endorsement, Dobson said that ‘the institution of the family’ is ‘in serious jeopardy,’ warning that the ‘very definition of marriage is threatened, which has implications for the next generation and the stability of society itself.’ Dobson has previously compared Santorum to Tim Tebow and saluted him for ‘standing up for righteousness.'”

So there you have it in James Dobson’s worldview: a vote for Rick Santorum is a vote for homophobia and misogyny.
