Rev. Kirbyjon Caldwell, the minister who presided over the recent marriage of President Bush’s daughter Jenna, has launched a pro-Barack Obama Web site sharply critical of conservative stalwart James Dobson.
Caldwell, leader of the largest Methodist congregation in the country, launched his “James Dobson Does Not Speak For Me” site a day after Dobson’s Focus on the Family radio program aired a statement charging that Obama distorted the Bible to fit “his own confused theology.”
The site urges readers to sign a statement declaring that Dobson does not represent them.
The statement reads in part:
“James Dobson doesn't speak for me.
“He doesn't speak for me when he uses religion as a wedge to divide.
“He doesn't speak for me when he speaks as the final arbiter on the meaning of the Bible…

The Mods were picking on me! Waah!
So Rev., that means you support baby killing (abortion early and late term), stealing (collectivism) and gay unions (homosexuality). YOU do not represent me as a Christian.
Hey, pal, go bow down to your Teddy Kennedy shrine. Maybe you can give Arnold a call and you both can discuss what ‘strong conservatives’ you are. In the meantime, the rest of us prepare for the inevitable, which is having to clean up for the mess made when soft weasels like you have too much influence over too long a period of time.
Amen
One of the gaps in your reasoning is establishing how you will prepare for the damage made by “weasels” such as myself by acting like a prick on a wedding thread. Let me know when you finally connect all the dots.
This I ‘gotta” see! This should be fun...I am all over it!

If I'm not mistaken when Jenna and her mom were interviewed on, I believe, The Today Show she was asked who she was voting for, and I think her answer was she hadn't made up her mind yet----or words to that affect.
They sure do! Pope John Paul 2, Pope Benedict, the current and past LDS presidents, Billy Graham, Franklin Graham, and many more. Aren’t they conservative enough for you? I know they are all religious leaders, true. But the Bushes knew the Reagans didn’t they(obviously)? He was supported quite a number of conservative leaders, many of them still!
But obviously, to all you Bush-bashers, that will never be enough. It’s like talking to a wall!
This is more than a “black thing”. This is an Anti-American Black thing. The New Black Pathers and the Black Liberation Theology.
What is sad, white people are falling for this and they have no idea how much they are hated because of their skin color.
The UMC minister that officiated at my wedding admitted many times that he voted for Carter...twice. Being that that minister was also my father in law, we had some wonderful political debates up until he passed away.
Is Dobson even supporting McCain?
They have fallen for Satan’s lies hook,line and sinker. But the Word says so. Mark 13:21-23:
21And if anyone says to you at that time, “Look! Here is the Messiah!”* or “Look! There he is!”—do not believe it. 22False messiahs* and false prophets will appear and produce signs and omens, to lead astray, if possible, the elect. 23But be alert; I have already told you everything.
One has to wonder .. if the Bush girls spent their formative years in Austin when “W” was governor, and Jenna went to UT/Austin ... why didn’t she have an Austin-based minister officiate? Her grandparents live in Houston and may be buddies with this guy?
That notwithstanding, it’s kind of hard to figure out his reasoning to support Obama because Dobson disagrees with him? Makes no sense. Better he be honest and say, I am for Obama because he’s (half) black, which is about 50% more than the other guy and I frankly don’t care about any of either candidate’s political positions, much less the theology of their associates. That wouldn’t be racist, now, would it ?
Did you catch this at the church website: the Associate Pastor is Suzette Caldwell (the Missus):
“In September 1997, Governor George W. Bush appointed Mrs. Caldwell to the University of Houston System Board of Regents.”
So they DO go back a long way
Jorge has trouble distinguishing his friends from his enemies. He tends to give more respect to the people who hate him and never voted for him. Morons like myself who voted for him twice have been dumped on time and time again. Passionate conservatism was a buzz word, he just an newest incarnation of a Rockefeller Republican like his promise breaking Daddy.
That is more or less what I was attempting to say - Jenna didn’t have a Pastor in Austin or in DC that she felt close to so she, or her husband, chose someone out of Houston. I believe someone else mentioned he had some connection the the Bush family, perhaps to George H.B. Bush - I was not even thinking of him and Barbara possibly going to this church.
This very thread connects the dots about as clearly as could be, if you were smart enough to realize it. I criticized people like you who have so bought into the liberal-established ground rules that you feel obligated to send phony condolences to Ted Kennedy and applaud/celebrate Jenna Bush’s wedding, now shown to have been conducted by an Obama supporter. Years ago, Michael Milken screwed countless Americans out of billions of dollars in a deliberate national financial scam. Later, after serving jail time and contracting prostate cancer, he donated a hundred million (of the billions he stole) to prostate cancer research and other charities, and people were putting him out there as a ‘humanitarian’. I suppose you were right there, cheering on this ‘great American’ for donating 1/50 of the money he swindled. Sorry I couldn’t join your celebration, but I don’t forget who Milken is, just like I don’t forget who Kennedy is, and I don’t forget getting sold down the river by Bush either.
I'd bet the ranch Laura was responsible for "picking" this ding-dong pastor too.
She's the liberal Methodist who makes the decision on which church the family attends.
IIRC, the Bush’s attend St. Martins Episcopal Church in Houston.
Caldwell is a Liberal Black with a Moderate reputation and an Ordained Methodist Minister.
