DISQUS

Fuck Dobson.

Sorry for the harsh language, but I've had enough of being nice! If Obama won't take the gloves off, I will!

And folks this is the Religious right.

God forgive if Jesus did come back today, they wouldn't know him or her nor would they believe because they do not practice the religion but use it for personal gain.

At least Dobson has the balls to go negative.

Is it any coincidence that the GOP and Christianity are both built on lies?

Right-wing, religious, nutjob strategy: Dobson will soon announce that he's looked into McCain's eyes - saw his soul - and witnessed McCain accept Jesus as his personal lord and savior...........thereby absolving Johnny Boy of any sin.

Bingo! The script will be played out this predictably.

I have long predicted that Dobson will come around on McCain and will eventually endorse him. Dobson is a Republican water carrier of the highest order and will eventually find an excuse that will allow him to come back into line. This is especially true if McCain has a good chance of winning since Dobson knows the thrill of rubbing shoulders with the Washington elite and will be reluctant to do anything to risk continuing his influential position.

As you can see from this story posted a month ago. The process has already begun:

"Dobson said on the radio program he must consider McCain’s record against abortion rights and support for smaller government, and added McCain “seems to understand the Muslim threat.” He also indicated McCain’s choice of a running mate will be a factor. Of his new position, Dobson said in the statement to the AP, “If that is a flip-flop, then so be it.”

Hypocrisy from James Dobson? And political hypocrisy at that?

Shocked.

I'm shocked, I tell you.

If we had any balls at all as Democrats (yes, I know how amazingly naive that statement sounds), this would be a mailer in late October to as many evangelicals as we could send it to.

This would be a robo-call. This would be a tv ad on cable stations or other micro-targeted spots. This would make it into the conversation of every Christian fundamentalist in the South and around the country.

Would the purpose be to get them to turn out for Obama? No. But it would be a culture-jamming tactic. It would be effective an it would be brass-knuckles politics - and it would be truthful.

But because it would be a blatant attempt to win the election via diminishing voter enthusiasm for McCain - we'd never do it.

And thus why we lose. Until we get some balls and learn to fight as hard as we can we won't win. This isn't dirty or underhanded, which is all the more infuriating - it's simply being willing to be hardnosed and using the ammunition at hand.

I hate sports metaphors, but I am brought back to my high-school football days. You either hit somebody or you get hit. You've got to want it harder than the other guy or you end up getting planted on your ass while the other guy heads toward the end zone. Politics, at the base level, isn't much different.

Seems Dobson knows how to lie. How Dark-side Christian of him.
