They couldn’t stop the candidate they hate from getting the nomination,
McCain is truly lucky to be running against a Black Liberation Marxist Socialist.
BS, Dobson has clout because he is right on many issues and many of those views on issues are shared by his listeners. Dobson flipped like many others, because people are beginning to realize how dangerous Obama is to this country. Not just morally, but physically and financially.
Given the author’s obvious disdain for Dobson and the “religious right”, I would take his analysis of the situation and his pronouncement of the death of the movement with a grain of salt. The author appears to be engaging in some wishful thinking here.
I'm afraid he is right. Because they continue to support liberal socialists without demanding anything in return, today's evangelicals and other "conservative" voters are full-on supporters of the march of liberal, anti-Christian humanism.
It would be nice to hear Dobson explain why he's not supporting the Constitution Party again. By doing so he helps either build a conservative alternative to the Democrat/Republicans or send a clear signal to the Republicans that they've lost their base and need to take concrete steps to pick it back up again. Chuck Baldwin would make a far better president than McCain or Obama (and it would be fun to watch the Democrat congress fume under the legislative impasse of all the vetos that would be issued. :-)
Dobson is getting very close to a major rebellion within the ranks of the Religious Right. He better be careful, because he does NOT speak for the rank and file. He is not a leader.
Because it has become so clear how much damage an Obama presidency would do to this country, a lot of people have had to rethink their original plan not to vote for McCain. Some won’t, of course, but I certainly have.
I think Rush has done a disservice to Conservatives. His ranting has made alot of people think McCain is the devil which is ridiculous. Do I agree with him on everything NO. But he is much much better for the USA than Obama. If Conservatives do not rally behind him they are just their own worst enemies who rather be ditto heads than realistic about POLITICS> Liberals and leftists have always been better at seeing the BIG long term qoal and working for over a Century for their day to come. And they are winning BIG time cause ditto head like to pout instead of play the game of politics. Sad state of affairs.
I don’t particularly see Dobson’s decision as a flip-flop but rather that a proper Christian ethical response when faced with unpleasant alternatives—choose the one that will do the most good.
A few months ago I rashly swore I would never vote for McCain, but for the sake of my country and my son who serves in the Army in Korea, I am more than happy to vote for McCain rather than see Jimmy Carter version 2.0 get elected.
Unless everyone posting on FR these days hates Christians, why post this crap?
It’s not conservative and does not contain useful information.
All it does is beat Christians with a club.
McCain 08 the only choice McCain 08
McCain 08 the only choice McCain 08
I have to admit I’m about there myself. After Obama’s mention of a National Police Force, a la the Nazi/Communist era, my hand is forced. Obama’s went from an incompetent boob to a very dangerous jackboot thug.
If Obama gets elected we very much risk a civil war.
Id guess most conservative folks will be voting against Obama rather than for McCain. McCain has earned the distrust of the conservative base based upon his words and actions. There will be a lot of soul searching in the next few months.
When it comes to blame, Dobson needs go no farther than the nearest mirror. He did his best to torpedo someone a lot better than McCain, mostly in order to salve his wounded ego.
Thanks for all the “help” you gave Fred, Dobson.
I think a lot of people are in the same boat as Dobson... they weren’t hot on McCain, but considering the alternative...
