Those good ole boys in iraq are dying for the US of A! The Bushes have served our country well by having been soldiers and leaders, while obama just went to college to hide from military service! McCain is another great example of a true American! James Dobson is right about obama (killing babies who could one day grow up and die for a just cause like irak)!!! I think Whites and blacks have a fundamental disagreement in this regard! We Republicans try to do Good while the democrats are bad! McCain '08 President Bush IS a God fearing man! obama isn't!

But deep down in his heart, you can tell immorality and deviousness. He pretends to others that he care s Did the Bible ask you Mr. Dobson to judge others? If you are really a man of faitrh then it is your dutie to educate those you beleive do not have clear understanding of the Bible instead of questioning thier faith. Pretending to be a man of God is like provoking him. The consequence of provoking God is severe. Stop pretend ing that you are speaking on behalf of Christians tell us that you are heavly criticizing Mr. Obama to let Mcsame, wait Mcevil wins to continue killing more of our men and women in Iraq and innocence Iraqis.

We are too multi-faceted for one, and our opinions vary greatly. I have noticed that only the African descended candidate is required to do so. He is viewed as either to Black, Too radical, too conservative, too liberal, too White, Too Christian, Too Muslim!

So what your saying is it is far more Christian to kill people in a false war after they turn 18 or if they are not American. McWar wants to keep a war going that is killing thousands for personal greed. It seems a little messed up that you can kill people in a war that Americans were lied to about (WMD'S). Haldog.....

His campaign philosophy of hope and faithfulness in America's ability to change our nation for the better mirrors the main tenants of the Christian faith. Jesus called for those in His day to put aside pride-filled attitudes and religious rhetoric and to reconnect with one another in love, hope, and faith. With Obama as President, and prayerfully with the favor of God, I believe our nation will have a better chance of moving toward these basic Christian objectives in our social, economic, foreign, and political policies.

Source New York Times So I guess no one should tolerate Dobson's views. AND "In 2007, Dobson was one of 25 evangelicals who called for the ouster of Rev. Richard Cizik from his position at the National Association of Evangelicals for taking a stance urging evangelicals to take global warming seriously." Source The Washington Post So LAST YEAR not only was Dobson fighting the idea of Globial Warming BUT tried to fire someone for even talking about it! This is the guy some people believe?
