Is There Any Pleasing Of The Christian Right?
Allahpundit has the story: Christian leaders may back third-party candidate if Rudy wins GOP nomination. I partially agree with his assessment; ” The GOP’s already looking at near-certain defeat so evangelicals can walk away without worrying overly much about costing Republicans the election. Plus, the fact that they’re willing to make good on their threat will put the, ahem, fear of God into the rest of the party ahead of 2012 and restore some of the emphasis on “values” that’s been lost in the jumble of terrorism and Iraq.” I don’t think we are looking at defeat, unless this plays out as is being reported.
My question is, how important is this, the Dobson and the other Christian leaders recommendation, on your vote?

That article is a revelation and I can only hope it reflects the truth. Thanks for posting it.
The notion of one religious group influencing the running of this government was scary enough for the short while it did. If the pendulum of history hadn’t swung back I’d have feared for our very existence as “one nation under God” in the truest sense of that wording.
To answer directly your question? Dobson and other “Christian” leaders have huge influence on my vote.
They lead me to vote against their recommendations at every turn.
That’s why I want Hillary Clinton as our next President.

Ted I am the same way.
Eben- that is an interesting take. I respect your point of view and will remind you that many people are like Ted and myself. We don’t let them dictate who we will vote for. On the flip side of that, although “liberal” philosophy is not a religion, I do look to them as a danger to our society, in that they are eroding all the principals that this country was founded on. That is basically where middle America stands as well.

“although “liberal”philosophy is not a religion, I do look to them as a danger to our society…”
An interesting historical fact: liberal idealogy is a leading reason for the downfall of civilizations historically. This is a fact among socialologists. This is why extreme liberalism is scary.
That said- I do believe that there are some liberal ideas that are needed in society, but once liberalism takes over a governemet in a permane3nt sense it will lead to the downfall of that society.
“To answer directly your question? Dobson and other “Christian”leaders have huge influence on my vote. They lead me to vote against their recommendations at every turn.”
That is a completely illogical stance. If they endorsed your Dem candidate for President (as a few Christian leaders do) what will you do then? Vote Republican?

is there any pleasing of the muslim right? or the jew right?
“Come on people”, this is a joke the system is nut’s and its up to the real owners of this Nation to stop this joke, find bin laden and behead him now or face me and 50 million like me who are real Americans 1635 and still here.
THE GOP Is a joke that needs to be removed and replaced with people who can keep this nation from civil and race war.
Its not a joke if this so called nation is to be a real nation once more many people around the world need to fear it once more and we need to love it once more.
Bin Laden, head needs to be on a poll, ask not what you can get but ask who you can fight.

Being of the “Christian Right” so to speak, I believe Dobson to be wrong. I may or may not ultimately vote for Rudy, but I know I will not support any third party canidate, handing the election to the left without even a good fight and watching our society sink even lower than now. I do also support Fred Thompson, even with all of his faults.
October 1, 2007 - 03:51 PM on October 1st, 2007
Thanks for the input and I like Fred too. My favorite is Rudy, but it really is too early for me to decide. I like Fred and I like Mitt too, but I want Fred/Rudy together…call me crazy

Eben #1, yes, Hillary is an outstanding choice; If you want to put a Marxist-Oligarchist into the White House.
She’s a Marxist when it comes to managing the sheeple; they are nothing more than worker ants. They don’t need to trouble their undersized brains with any thoughts beyond their mundane sphere of existence. She and her ilk will make all important decisions, and the sheeple will abide by them.
But for the privileged few, the oligarchs, there is a different set of rules. We see the basis and acceptance of this in the overt set of double-standards applied to everything by the Democrites. While the people are regulated and controlled to the nth degree, the oligarchists will have no such bounds.
You should get out of your car and spend 3 hours to get each way to work on a city bus because you are causing Global warming. While the oligarchist hypocrites fly in their private jets.
More and more cities are restricting or banning the use of firepaces in residences because of pollution. A warm fire has been a source of heat and comfort to families since the cave men. Do you think when they are banned Hillary and her fellow oligarchists will have fires in their fireplaces? of course they will, and they’ll enjoy them all the more because they know they are special.
The oligarchists and hypocrites are not limited to one side of the aisle, but next time arch-Ecofraud Al Gore wags his finger at you and tells you you are causing Global warming, or HilLiary puts on her populist facade, or John Edwards blathers about his Two Americas nonsense, just remember you are being absolutley lied to by Elitist, Oligarchist, Hypocritical A-Holes.
And if you can’t recognize it and figure it out for yourself, you are a babbling idiot and probably shouldn’t vote.

I’ve been saying this for months.
Rudy won’t win the Oval Office because the Fundies on the Right just won’t come out in large numbers to vote for him like they did for Bush.
The Republican Revolution of 1994 is over.
In my opinion, it wasn’t brief enough.

Just remember that this country was founded by people rebelling against high taxes imposed on them by people who refused to actually represent them.

10, The GOP idiots that abandoned the principles of the 1994 revolution are largely gone. The revolution did not die, although the cradle to grave liberal tyranny you support should.
