Reap/Sow
Farming 101 - Reap What Ye Shall Sow (yeah, it's in the Bible too)
James Dobson sure does have a short memory, cuz it sounds like he's forgotten the vitriol and hatred that the right had in their hearts as they went after Clinton:
"Many conservatives are now upset about were highly qualified individuals that had been passed over. Well, what Karl told me is that some of those individuals took themselves off that list and they would not allow their names to be considered, because the process has become so vicious and so vitriolic and so bitter."
What a pity. I wonder how the process became that way?
At least he can speak in complete sentences, I'll grant him that.

Dr. Dobson, who has not a Div degree but a PhD in psychology (and who is a great admonitory lesson in what happens when good psychologists go power-mad), certainly can use complete sentences. It's what he uses them *for* that so often, in politics, seems to be intended to turn the US into yet another theocratic pseudo-democracy, much like some of the Isalmic states.
He, of course, sees adopting the standards and scientific world-view of a 2000-year-old nomadic Middle Eastern culture to be "progress."
If he didn't have the ear of the President - not to mention his many followers - that wouldn't be a problem. The big, very hard-to-surmount problem is, *we* are willing to tolerate his freedom to express his socially Luddite views, but when he gets into power, *he* is not willing to tolerate *our* freedoms. It's a one-sided contest - moderation against absolutism. The only hope moderates have is in their numbers, and their numbers are nullified once the Radical Right gains the upper hand.
Dobson's comments about the now-vitriolic process of filling government with qualified folks does not really bear on vitriol aimed at any president, past or present. I think he has identified a real problem with good government.
