Religion Dobson Waffles on McCain, Fantasies of Internecine Religious-Right Warfare Begin to Fade
posted by on July 21 at 14:19 PM
Conservative Christian leader James Dobson softened his stance against Republican presidential hopeful John McCain on Monday, saying he could reverse his position and endorse the Arizona senator despite the candidate’s support of embryonic stem cell research and opposition to a constitutional ban on gay marriage.
Which is a goddamned shame. As I’ve written before, I’m wishing and praying this is the year that the evangelical right shatters into a thousand pieces—some defecting to Obama; some staying home; some voting for a faction-splitting, born-again equivalent of Ralph Nader; some caving and voting for McCain, thereby driving a wedge between themselves and the crazier members of their churches.
I want to see Fred Phelps picketing James Dobson. I want to see Richard Land demoted to Sunday-school teacher. I want civil war in the Southern Baptist Convention.
I don’t want to see Dobson showing a lick of political common sense and slithering over towards McCain.
But there’s still hope: If McCain chooses Romney (which is looking more and more likely), maybe all-Christian-hell will finally break loose.
McCain is such an asshole.

Is it wrong getting off on seeing Dobson Waffles' severed head on a flag?
It's about time this country had a Vice-Presidential candidate that believes in magic underwear.
Organized religion is all about power and control. Evangelical leaders are quick to sell out when they think they can gain some power. Look at how Pat Robertson endorsed cross-dressing, gay-loving, abortion-supporting Rudy Giuliani. Way to be a rock, Pat.
Dobson doesn't like either front-runner. He cannot support Obama, but if he can be a linchpin for getting McCain elected, he'll get some serious influence in the White House. He'll sell out if it looks like his endorsement will guarantee a win, otherwise, he'd be smart to play it safe and just keep quiet. I don't see McCain generating that kind of confidence, though.
Does this mean America will have a booming export trade in Seer Stones?
