James Dobson Rejects John McCain

By Andrew Belonsky February 5, 2008 at 6:02pm · 8 comments

Super evil conservative James Dobson does not want John McCain to be our president. That’s what he said to Laura Ingraham. Part of the reason is that McCain won’t support a ban on constitutional amendment against gay marriage.

    Okay, now I’m a confused ho. Dobson wants a ban on an FMA?

    Yeah, now I don’t quite understand either what McCain OR Dobson wants here. I know what Dobson NEEDS but he ain’t gettin’ it from me!

    Dobson wants a Constitutional Amendment that would ban same-sex marriage, yes. As I understand it, he doesn’t want the states to decide, but wants a federal definition of marriage (i.e. between one natural man and one natural woman).

    Among his other reasons, as per the original article, include ludicrous, shitty reasons such as:

    • McCain supports funding for “embryonic stem cell research to kill nascent human beings.”

    • McCain was part of the “Gang of 14” compromise, preserving the filibuster

    • McCain “often uses foul and obscene language.”

    I particularly love the last one! Has he not heard Bush’s aside comment to former British PM Tony Blair in which he uses that big, bad, F-word? *gasp*

    Who needs Dobsons vote in a Presidential Election anyway? He’ll supposedly just not vote (for the first time in his life!) if McCain gets the Republican nomination! Oh boo-hoo!

    Actually, I’m glad Dobson doesn’t want McCain. Let the Religious Right fracture itself into pieces over candidates. Then we are more assured a Democrat will get in.

    The problem for the Republicans is not if Dr Jim stays home, it’s if he is successful in persuading others to do the same with him. The GOP doesn’t really need Fungus on the Family’s mindless legion of moron followers to help them, but like a crystal meth addict, they’ve become dependent on them the last 14 or so election cycles. Replacing them with another voting base probably wouldn’t be easy to do this late in the game. Lucky for McCain, he scores well with independents, so that could be his saving grace. The scary thing is that if Dobson’s tantrum is really just a way of getting McCain to cave into some future list of demands, and if McCain does just that.

    All that said, the fact that Big Jim will “never” vote for McCain tells me that he must be an okay guy, deep down inside.

    “Has he not heard Bush’s aside comment to former British PM Tony Blair in which he uses that big, bad, F-word? *gasp*”

    And let’s not forget that during Bush’s first run at the WH, he called out a NYT reporter while on stage; he leaned over to Cheney–forgetting his mike was on–and said, “There’s _____, major league asshole.” To which Cheney replied, “Big time, big time.”

    And of course Cheney telling another senator to go fuck himself–on the senate floor no less. I guess it’s only bad if it’s not your guy doing it.

    Dobson; major league asshole.

    James Dobson and his kind can look at 9/11 and see that they are the ones who bring this horror to life. They preach hatred and intolerance to their flocks of sheep and blind them to the true evil they embrace! These messangers of evil should shut their dirty mouths and go on hunger strikes until they meet their maker.

    You are going to have to change your name to James Dumbson it you are stupid enough not to support our republican nominee, a lot of conservatives stayed at home in 2006 and where did that get us. I am a strong conservative christian catholic and I have been telling the idiotic catholics and christians who have been doing what you and all of the others, if I can’t have it completely my way than I will take my bible and go hide, to grow up, we are not talking about who is going to lead the next boy scout troop we are talking, terrorist attacks, high taxes, supreme court judges, same sex marriage, abortion whenever and etc. what chances do you think we will have when the demolitionocrats in the White House, Sincerely, Jack.
