John McCain develops evangelical poll repellent
Big bull evangelical James Dobson tells the rabid-right-o-sphere that he’d rather not vote than to vote for John McCain. In a statement released to the Laura Ingraham show, Dobson says:
But what a sad and melancholy decision this is for me and many other conservatives. Should John McCain capture the nomination as many assume, I believe this general election will offer the worst choices for president in my lifetime. 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.
Dobson cites McCain’s devilish record on stem cell research, his position on a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage and his foul mouthed ways as reasons for his decision. Read more and hear Ingraham read the statement at Talking Points Memo.
