SquarePants Dobson gets whatfor from Gazette readers

Little Jimmy Dobson doesn't like John McCain. He has once again injeted his non-prophet into politics and said he'll never vote for Old Man McCain. Letter writers to the Gazette differ with Dobson:

WHO CARES?
Dobson comment an attempt to influence voters

In light of the ongoing investigations into religious leaders’ attempts to influence political events while enjoying a taxexempt status, I must say I am extremely disappointed with the Gazette’s decision to run the story, “Dobson won’t vote for McCain” in Wednesday’s paper. I see it as a blatant attempt to influence the votes of those who are unable or unwilling to come to their own decision on political matters.

The article even goes so far as to share his personal opinion that the candidates are the worst ever in his lifetime; he must have forgotten about the current president who has lied to us, created the mess in Iraq, given this country’s ideals a black eye by promoting torture while doing his best to subvert the First Amendment.

I hope Gazette readers are smart enough to see through his agenda; if not, I hope they will understand that, almost without exception, there is no candidate out there who could conceivably do worse than the current president. That, and that Dobson’s attempt to peddle political influence without jeopardizing his tax-exempt status has not gone unnoticed.

McCain more conservative than Democratic candidates

So, James Dobson of Focus on the Family won’t vote for John McCain. Instead, by not supporting McCain, should he become the nomine, by default Dobson is throwing his support behind Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama.

Who does Dobson think will best forward the conservative agenda out of this group? McCain may not be the most conservative, but he will be the most conservative choice come November.

The “I’ll take my ball and go home” attitude Dobson and others like him have when they don’t get their way does nothing to help, it just shows they are an embarrassment to our party.

Current president no great conservative

Who died and made James Dobson God? Why does someone who represents a nonprofit religious-based organization think he needs to be so blatantly verbal regarding politics? Besides that, who cares what he thinks?
Dobson supported George W. Bush; look at his approval rating now.

I’m not a McCain supporter but believe he would do a lot better job then our current president. At least he could not do worse.

I just hope the continuing conserva-bot crackup continues, cuz I'm not so sure Dems will unite and conquer, even after the last 8 years of abject failure of Republican/Conservative ideas.
