Dobson's irresponsible leadership

Super Tuesday Results Show Split Between Evangelicals and Their Spokesmen

Excerpt:

"Should Sen. McCain capture the nomination as many assume, I believe this general election will offer the worst choices for President in my lifetime," Dobson said in a message to his e-mail subscribers the morning of Super Tuesday. "I certainly can't vote for Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama based on their virulently anti-family policy positions. If these are the nominees in November, I simply will not cast a ballot for President for the first time in my life."

Reaction to Dobson's comments was swift and fierce, especially as it became apparent McCain would be the big winner on Super Tuesday.

"Dr. Dobson should know that John McCain would certainly appoint better justices to the court than either Obama or Clinton," said Michael Cromartie, vice president at the Ethics and Public Policy Center. "Politics is about making choices between relative goods and lesser evils and not about having perfect choices. It's a wasted vote on Dr. Dobson's part. It's irresponsible on his part to give that kind of leadership."

Comment: Talk about hyperbole: "this general election will offer the worst choices for President in my lifetime". What about Kennedy - Nixon? Humphrey - Nixon? McGovern - Nixon? Carter - Ford? Get real Dr Dobson! He does not speak for me!
