Stop The Presses!...

Holy Smoke...James Dobson
Conservative chairman of religious group Focus on the Family, said he will never vote for Rudy . Sumo spews her soda on keyboards...damn!

Religious leader James Dobson will sit out the 2008 presidential election (if need be) if former NYC Mayor Rudy Guiliani is the Republican presidential nominee. Isn't that special?! In a piece published on the conservative Web site World Net Daily, Dobby wrote that Guiliani's support for abortion rights and civil unions for homosexuals, as well as the former mayor's 2 divorces, were a big fat downer for him.


He said he cannot, and will not, vote for Rudy in 2008. It is an irrevocable decision. Well...la de freakin' da! Okay Dob...so you don't agree with Rudy...so what! He said if he were given a choice between Rudy and the Hills or Barack...he'd either cast his ballot for an also-ran--or if worse comes to worst...(and you know it always does)...just not vote in the election for a president for the first time in his adult life. Apparently...he has a conscience and moral conviction...because it won't allow him to do anything else. Is it high on that pedestal Dobby? He is doing this as a private citizen and not on behalf of any organization or party. Yeah right! And of course the first time he endorsed a presidential candidate was in 2004...and you know who that was right?

Okay...so this guy can reach lots of people...he has a daily radio program (don't they all?) with gobs of listeners...and a the Family magazines have over 2 million subscribers. Big deal...so there are over 2 million numbnuts on the planet...as if we didn't know. Me...even so...you've got to give ol' Rudy credit for supporting a woman's right to abortion. He's been criticized up one side and down the other for it...and for a time tried to be ambiguous...but in the end...still came out and said he supports abortion rights. Thems hard waters to navigate these days. But that doesn't mean he gets a presidential pass from me in Sumoland for that. Shoot...I hate abortion but I still stand for women's rights. I haven't needed one...but if I did...I'd sure want to have the right to consider it for myself. It's not other people's business. I hate lima beans...but I have no right to go to your house and stop you from eating them.


So Dobby says that Rudy isn't presidential timber. What's up with that? Since when did a president have to be a tree. I know George Washington chopped one down when he was a kid. I know that Abe Lincoln logged or something for a time. Dobson said..."Can we really trust a chief executive who waffles and feigns support for policies that run contrary to his alleged beliefs?" This sounds like the man of the cloth is getting a tad judgmental to me...and I thought these Bible thumpers knew their good book. So he's troubled by what he already knows about Rudy. So the right and brotherly thing to do is spread gossip about someone that you disagree with. Way to go God Guy Dobson.

Dobby says there are moral concerns about Guiliani's candidacy that other conservatives should find troubling. Well Dobson...I find your morality a concern and very troubling mister! People should think twice and then think again before they listen to a gossip monger and a judgmental religious leader that more than anything likes to listen to his own voice. Dobs...we don't give a rat's behind what you think or have to say about anything...except while I was expounding on your bad qualifications as a religious leader for this post that is. Heh heh! Have you been to the doctor to have your arteries checked lately? There seems to be a decline in the health here lately...just dropping dead almost like flies.

Here's a good reason to buy Girl Scout cookies:

Didja ever notice that the far right wing fawns all over the Boy Scouts but never says anything nice about the Girl Scouts?  Wanna know why that is?

They hate the Girl Scouts.  They hate them because the Girl Scouts do not discriminate against atheists and lesbians.

Dobson's political hate magazine Citizen has run two attack articles against the Girl Scouts.  (There may be more that I don't know about.)

Dobson hates the Girl Scouts because they welcome the sort of people that Jesus would have welcomed.

Can't get any more un-Christlike than that.

Check out Matthew 23, the entire chapter:

Damn, now I have to consider Judy Ruliani as a potential candidate, since the puppy-beater seems to hate him.  I just wish he had better taste in eyeshadow.

They hate them because the Girl Scouts do not discriminate against atheists and lesbians.

All my financial support shifted from the Boy Scouts to the Girl Scouts because of this.

I also stopped giving money to the Salvation Army for the same reason. I now donate directly to the local homeless center and the rescue mission.

I know Rudy has very little credibility what with all the lying and everything, but does anybody even listen to Dobson anymore? That guy is even nuttier than "rot in hell" Fallwell was. I guess it's good for his pocketbooks though. The christian hate machine eats that stuff up.

Way too many people listen to Dobson.  He's ten times as dangerous as Robertson and Falwell (was) because Dobson comes across to his fans as a kindly, credible, ordinary grandpa.

A devil in sheep's clothing.

don't know what it was, but something compelled me to put Dobby's dirty laundry out there for 'some' people to see that otherwise might not.  Devil in sheep's clothing...good one!

Dobson's audience might seem large but in actuality, when compared to the number of citizens in these here United States..its really a small percentage.

That said..fark him and his skewed and hateful logic.

Dusty, compared to the number of citizens in these here United States who vote, that small percentage is significant.

.

Non-voters don't count.  That's why some D candidates are actively targeting nonvoting, unmarried women as a bloc.

Their numbers are larger if you just count voters, true...but if people are as tired of BushCo as they are polled, that alone will help OUR numbers coming out to vote.

Dobson = shudder.  I think there should be new blog rules that say you can't mention his name before I've had my extra-large diet coke in the mornings.
