See, that's the point, Hartung

Dobson has/had enough control over the GOP platform
committee to have had the power to summon Neut Gingrich
and the entire GOP leadership before him and threaten
them with retaliation unless his "agenda" was included
in legislation pending before government.
When, specifically did this happen?

March 18th, 1998..

US News, May 4, 1998 http://www.usnews.com

By the way, the linkl you provided goes to the currewnt page, not one
from 1998.

Dobson went to the Capitol building, Dobson went to the Republicans.
That is a far cry from "summoning" the leaders of the GOP.

Look at the date, Hartung

I said the meeting in which Dobson called the GOP
leadership on the carpet was in 1994---just prior to
the Upcoming 1995 appropriations bills coming up.

The article I found said 1998, as does your post above.

Dobson demanded, and got, his "3 pt agenda" placed on
all those appropriations bills

So?

That was the year that clinton summarily rejected
(vetoed) those bills which led to the Government
Shutdown. The American people sided with Clinton.

Clinton was in the wrong, no matter what the "people" may have thought.

That shutdown led to the meeting of CPAC and the use of
Scaife money to set up a smear campaign to counter
Clinton with a "question of character" (the jones
stories and lies), and gave rise to the D'Amato,
Burton, and Thompsen Hearings to ruin Clinton.
