The iconic Dr. James Dobson is telling South Carolinians via robocalls that a vote for anyone but Ted Cruz is a vote for Donald Trump:
Other Republicans are certainly worthy of consideration, but at this point it looks like a vote for anyone other than Ted Cruz is a vote for Donald Trump. For people of faith, who care about religious liberty, life and marriage, it’s time for us to rally around Sen. Ted Cruz.
The robocall is being paid for by one of the Cruz affiliated Super PACs. The New York Times, which obtained a copy of the robocall, manages to work into its story the idea that it could be a prelude to some kind of dirty trick, which is unworthy of Dr. Dobson if not The New York Times.
“Recorded phone messages are a time-tested political technique in South Carolina, often used as a difficult-to-trace method of disseminating harshly negative information to voters,” the reporter opined.
Yes, or in this case they are used by a profoundly sincere evangelical leader — who has helped millions of families for free — give his opinion: it’s time to rally around Cruz.

Nativemom Turns out James Dobson must have been behind #BenCarsonGate in Iowa.
YesItsPolitical Nativemom Is that Chris Christie talking again? Because according to him, only Jeb or Kasich (governors) are qualified. How many more years of governing experience does Ted Cruz or (lol) Donald Trump have?
Nonsense. Rubio (for instance) is less than 10% behind Cruz; yet Cruz is more than 15% behind Trump (reported by CNN yesterday). Politico even has: Trump-35%, Cruz-19%, Rubio-17% as of today. And besides, these are only polls. After Saturday the playing field should clear some more.
I want Trump to lose as badly as anyone else, but hindering other candidates’ chances isn’t the most honorable route to go. Just ask Ben Carson about that one, Dobson
Wrong! We want someone who is not beholding to donors and special interests; someone who makes his decisions based on being reelected.
Trump is the guy!
JacPrior You are a shill for the democrats aren’t you?
Nativemom Stupid move to support another Freshman senator that has never done anything but politics. That’s the damn problem career politicians screw us all!
I guess your 2A rights don’t matter…religious freedoms don’t matter…free speech doesn’t matter….states rights don’t matter… To the majority of Americans, THESE rights DO matter. And if we don’t care who our next elected President is….these rights go BYE-BYE! It’s that simple! #TrusTED #UniTED #CruzCrew #CruzToVictory #AgainstTrump #DumpTrump
Danaw49 OH! Pleeeeeeze, don’t use Justice Scalia’s death for political reasons, now you sound like Cruz, this is what he does use someone’s death for his gain. SAD
Cruz would be wrong, he does too many unscrupulous things. Example: Some are blaming CNN, Cruz knew EXACTLY what he was doing to Dr Carson, it takes 1 (one) minute to call Dr Carson to see if it was true. The mailer he sent to Voters “VOTER VOLATIONS ” very, very unprofessional, he tells lies about Trump and Rubio, he shows pictures of Trump with the Clintons, there are pictures of Trump with President Reagan and many other Presidents, Cruz says Trump gave to Democrats, he’s given more to Republicans than Democrats, Google it. In my research I found Trump has done More GOOD than BAD. Cruz tells half truths. Only reason he won his senate seat he was the lessor of two evils. Several of us in Texas waiting for his term to be up so we can Vote him OUT.
I could go on and on, by the way if you’re thinking of his potty mouth, let’s check out in 1999, President GW Bush during a interview with Tucker Carlson for Talk Magazine, President Bush dropped the F-Bomb Seveal times.
Sorry Dr Dobson but your facts are Wrong. We don’t need Another FAKE President in the WH.
How is this true when Rubio is in second place in the South Carolina polls? Cruz has proved in the last few weeks to be a man that can not be trusted. He has lied about several things.
Rubio is the only one in the race that beats Clinton in the polls. The wisest thing to do is to support Rubio!
Hope it helps!! We need Ted Cruz more than anyone else in the race, especially after Justice Scalia’s sudden death! #CruzCrew
