Dobson et al: "We're not going to tell you how to vote tonight."
Speakers didn't come out and say that evangelicals should vote for Republicans, but they touted a conservative social agenda opposing abortion, gay marriage and embryonic stem-cell research, while supporting the war on terrorism and President Bush.

<snip>

"I have had the privilege of knowing our president since 1988," added Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission. "As Dr. Dobson said, he is not a perfect man. None of us are, but I'm telling you he is a godly man."

<div>

"We're not going to tell you how to vote tonight," Dobson said. "That is not what we're supposed to do. That is not legal. But we're going to talk about the issues, and you figure that out yourself."


We're not telling you how to vote. But did I mention how godly Bush is? He's just so ... godlike! But influencing your choice of candidates is not why we're here. We just want to prevent the Democrats from making lattes composed of the bodies of forcefully aborted babies. Y'know, I think Bush even looks like Jesus Christ Himself if I may be so bold. But we're not telling you who to vote for, no no no, of course not."

:rofl:

Read the full ridiculous story

1. dobson mocking the law while breaking it - oh so "christian"
DOBSON IS AN ENEMY OF THE CONSTITUTION. He wants to replace it with the bible. He and his kind are disgusting ignorant human beings with no desire for anyone to have freedom except those who believe as they do. Go to Iran dobson if you want to live in a theocracy. This is the land of the free, not the land of focus on the family. Focus on your own damn family.
