Obama 1, Dobson 0

As John wrote about earlier, James Dobson attacked Barack Obama Tuesday for what he called his “confused theology.” Leaving aside the obvious projection on Dobson’s part, today really marked the beginning of a rather dramatic shift in traditional American politics. Think about it: Not only is Barack Obama aggressively courting the evangelical base, he is currently involved in a dispute over theology and public policy with James Dobson.


And he’s winning. After Dobson trashed Obama for “distorting the Bible,” Obama put out this statement, which pretty much sums up why Dobson and his ilk are a cancer on the American political process:
[That speech that Dobson criticized urged that] people of faith, like himself, “try to translate some of our concerns in a universal language so that we can have an open and vigorous debate rather than having religion divide us.”
Obama is trying to introduce a new kind of “faith-based” participation in politics, one that seeks to unite people of faith around a common goal, rather than driving them apart with divisive wedge issues. I think it’s pretty obvious which of the two is more healthy and productive.


What’s more, Rev. Kirbyjon Caldwel, a Methodist pastor from Texas and longtime supporter of President Bush who has endorsed Obama, has actually started a website bashing Dobson and proclaiming he “doesn’t speak for me.”

In what can be considered the best news of all, John McCain faces a big uphill climb when it comes to earning the support of the evangelical Republican base — the same coalition that helped propel George W. Bush to two terms. McCain is trying to play the “strong conservative” and “maverick” cards at the same time, apparently not realizing that they end up canceling each other out.




Robert Novak (of all people) writes extensively about this in a column called “McCain’s Evangelical Problem.” Senator McCain may be a “straight-shooter” who appeals to independents, but he’s also a Republican who can’t appeal lock down his own base.

That be cause he had to but that was not so impressive. What would of been impressive but equally disingenuous would of been to call that racist "The Rev. Wright" a cancer but that did not happen. I think race had something to do with that. I think you agree Doc. with this here statement cause BO needs to walks a fine line so as to not alienate the brothers. This is what I think about this here issue and I think I nailed it! Agree?

Dobsons base is not real smart when it comes to Politics

Rove lost his "magic touch" in 2006 and like Dennis Miller ... his act
is reallll old

Fuckin Dennis Miller. SNL was good enough. To try to stretch this dollar with MNF and now Fox news is beyond old. It's pathetic. Kinda like the land of used goods don't you think? As a matter of fact what the hell is Geraldo Rivera still doing on TV?? I didn't know he still existed until I saw him on Fox giving his two cents about his brief encounter w/ Tim Russert back in 1998 the day Tim died. Tim probably told him "excuse me" as he exited the mens room while Geraldo was walking in and quickly trying to introduce himself.
 

They're still scrapin him off my stucco.
