Dobson and the Religious Right Rally for McCain/Palin
Let's start with James Dobson who said on his radio program today:
"If I Went into the Polling Booth Today, I Would Pull the Lever for John McCain" He said of Palin: "A genuine reformer. A deeply committed Christian." Citizen Link, the political communications unit of Focus on the Family Action reported:
On a special Focus Action radio broadcast, Dr. Dobson said Palin has helped change his mind on McCain. Here is the entirety of Focus on the Family Action's press statement on the Palin choice:
Colorado Springs, Colo. - Focus on the Family Action founder and chairman James C. Dobson, Ph.D., issued the following statement today after learning that Sen. John McCain, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, had selected Sarah Palin as his vice-presidential running mate. Win or lose, the religious right has kept its seat at the table of power. And those whose understanding of American politics and religion was premised on the idea that the Religious Right was dead, dying or irrelevant -- have been proved smashingly wrong. I say this because it is important to learn from our errors. And this error is one that has been repeated many times over the past few decades as premature conclusions about the Religious Right have been too often drawn based to be generous, on dubious or highly transitory evidence: A scandal. An electoral setback. The death of an aging leader. Or worst of all, excessive reliance on polling data. Too often however, I think such concluclusions have been based on wishful thinking. The Religious Right has built an extensive infrastructure of media, political organizations, institutions of higher learning including law schools -- and raised-up several generations of leaders who have found their way into their roles in public life. Whatever else one may think of Sarah Palin: first as governor of Alaska and now the GOP nominee for Vice President -- she epitomizes this reality.
