Colorado Springs, Colo. – Focus on the Family Action Chairman James C. Dobson, Ph.D., released the following statement this morning about the outcome of Thursday night’s Iowa caucuses:
The results of the Iowa caucuses reveal that conservative Christians remain a powerful force in American politics. That had to be a great shock to those on the far Left! The New York Times wrote a demeaning obituary of Values Voters in an article called “The Evangelical Crackup.” CNN piled on, proclaiming the demise of the "old values," referring to traditional marriage and the sanctity of human life. They and other media elites turned out to be dead wrong. “Sixty percent of the participants in the Iowa caucuses were self-identified evangelicals, and 45 percent of them backed Mike Huckabee. The former governor may not become the Republican nominee, and I have not endorsed him, but what happened there last night was evidence of an energized and highly motivated conservative community. Not bad for a supposed bunch of demoralized, depressed, disillusioned and disengaged Reaganites.
