What is clear is that the Christian conservative-Wallstreet alliance is breaking down, and choosing a divisive candidate such as McCain certainly doesn't help.

The first time Dobson and I have agreed on ANYTHING. For different reasons, of course, but still, it's significant.
From the article:
In his statement, Dobson said McCain had not reached out to "pro-family leaders" or changed his views on positions that "trouble" social conservatives, pointing to the candidate's support for embryonic stem cell research and stance to allow states to set their own definitions of marriage.
These are a few of the reasons why I would not be as unhappy with President McCain as I have been with Resident Bush. | |
