Like I said yesterday Palin's VP choice wasn't to go after the women vote but to realign McCain with the religious right. Don't forget people, George Bush won because of the gay marriage amendment nothing else. These people have to be neutered so they can't affect out country's politics ever again. The issues are the economy, the war, and universal heath care. Don't let them make it about abortion!

Dobson says he'll vote for McCain-Palin

Via my former colleague, Time's Michael Scherer, I see that Focus on the Family head James Dobson announced on Friday that he will vote for John McCain.

That the influential evangelical leader would eventually come around, despite his longtime skepticism about McCain, is no surprise. But the timing of the announcement, coming as quickly as it did after the news that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will be McCain's running mate, seems to indicate just how successful McCain was at appealing to the social conservative wing of his party by making this choice, and just how politically astute a move this may turn out to be for the presumptive Republican nominee.

Dear god! James Dobbson, the man who prayed for god to piss on Obama's parade (which he didn't) supports Obama's opponent?

This is some ground breaking journalism. Seriously guy, ground breaking. Give that man a Pulitzer.

You nailed it when it comes to appeasing the Bible Belt.

I'll save my tears for another time. They've got nothing left.

Dr. James Dobson: McCain’s Choice of Palin 'Outstanding'


Focus Action founder cites 'bravery and integrity' of Alaska governor; will discuss VP pick on 'Hannity & Colmes.'

Colorado Springs, Colo. – Focus on the Family Action founder and chairman James C. Dobson, Ph.D., issued the following statement today after learning that Sen. John McCain, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, had selected Sarah Palin as his vice-presidential running mate.

Dr. Dobson will further discuss McCain's pick tonight at 9 p.m. ET on Fox News Channel’s Hannity & Colmes.

“Sen. McCain’s selection of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is an outstanding choice that should be extremely reassuring to the conservative base of his party. She is a strong executive who hates corruption and puts principle above politics. After floating the names of Tom Ridge and Sen. Joe Lieberman in recent weeks – selections that would have created consternation among pro-family Republicans – Sen. McCain has chosen a solid conservative who has a reputation for espousing common sense.

“Gov. Palin’s commitment to the sanctity of life is not just a political position. She was advised to abort her fifth and youngest child when it was learned he had Down syndrome. She refused. That’s bravery and integrity in action.

“Gov. Palin’s views align with Sen. McCain’s own stated position that human life is precious and must be protected – and that gives us confidence he will keep his pledges to voters regarding the kinds of justices he would nominate to the Supreme Court and the way he would conduct our nation’s domestic and international affairs. This selection by Sen. McCain is a very encouraging sign for his campaign.”

On my way home from work, I was listening to Hannity and he did mention that Dobson was going to be a guest on H & C.

There you go peeps

Funny, how the story changes when Mucus on the Family gets ahold of it.
