LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY gloucester)

In a previous post I commented that I was attempting to develop a PR plan to punish James Dobson for recanting on his promise to form a third party, when/if he did in fact recant. I did develop such a plan, but then a friend called me on my hypocrisy--he reminded me that I am solidly against fear and anger in politics, and that, while it could work and "couldn't happen to a nicer guy," this plan amounted to concerted character assassination. As a result, I sought another approach, and what I have come up with is that I have to find a way to build support for the third party idea. All that's coming to mind in that regard is a PR campaign to support that course of action. I have lots more research to do.

So let me just feel some things out in this community. I get the sense that we are generally in favor of the pullout to a third party by Dr. Dobson and his peers, but that we don't think he'll do it. I'm not sure if I think he will or not, and I am coming to think that the GOP will give in before he will/won't. Are we generally in support of the pullout? What needs to be true before we can be assured Dr. Dobson will follow through? Is there anything we can do to help that happen? If so, what? I think it can be generally agreed that I do not have enough information to do anything yet, so what am I missing that I haven't thought to ask?
