So, I think you seem to be saying that no single person should have so much influence on politics - is that correct?

I personally don't have a problem with a single person having such a large influence on politics as long as the influence is in the arena of ideas and speech - (i.e. not in the illegal arenas of fraudulent voting, violence, coercion, etc.). Dobson's influence is powerful because people agree with his message. Other than countering Dobson's message with a better message, how exactly do you propose that Dobson be taken out of politics?
