John McCain's [Dominionist] Congressman in Disguise

First graf:

"Trent Franks is the Member of the United States House
of Representatives for the 2nd District of Arizona. He
is also a Dominionist. A speech he gave in July 2007
appears to support this claim, as the appended audio
clips demonstrate."

http://jfxgillis.newsvine.com/_news/2008/03/26/1386962-correctly-political-john-mccains-congressman-in-disguise

Money quote:

"So if the good citizens of the 2nd District of
Arizona want to be represented in Congress by a
crackpot Theocrat, who am I to dispute their misguided
and wrong-headed judgement?

"But what's intriguing about the Trent Franks speech
is that it was not given from the Floor of the House.
It was not given as campaign speech where an
official's rhetoric might get a little ahead of
itself.

"It was preached. As a sermon.

"In Senator John McCain's church."

1. will KO list Dobson (Bush adviser's) linkages with advocates of burning homosexuals to death?


<http://atheism.about.com/od/reconstructionist/p/ChristianRight.htm>

overview by Austin Cline.
"James Dobson & Reconstructionist Politics:
Now that the Christian Coalition has faded into relative irrelevancy, James Dobson and his Focus on the Family are the most powerful forces in the Christian Right. In 1996, James Dobson endorsed Howard Phillips for president. Phillips was running for the U.S. Taxpayers Party, the political arm of Christian Reconstructionism. Focus on the Family sells and endorses A New World View, a Reconstructionist book co-written by Gary DeMar."

It'd be good to get that book published by Bush's Spiritual Adviser, pull some money quotes, and get KO to put it up night after night.
