Dobson says 'no way' to McCain candidacy

A prominent Christian leader whose radio and magazine outreaches are solidly in support of biblically-based marriages – and keeps in touch with millions of constituents daily – says he cannot consider Arizona Sen. John McCain a viable candidate for president.

"Speaking as a private individual, I would not vote for John McCain under any circumstances," said James Dobson, founder of the Colorado Springs-based Focus on the Family as well as the Focus Action cultural action organization set up specifically to provide a platform for informing and rallying constituents.

The two GOP guys getting the most love right now are Giuliani and McCain. I have to laugh at this. McCain isn't conservative enough for the "Christian Conservatives" that fly under the radar but really rule the GOP.... Giuliani makes McCain look like a hard line right winger, he's openly Pro-Choice and supports civil unions for gays.

All you republicans that think these two will win you back the white house. Good luck.

Yeah you're right Destino. McCain is going to be this guys best buddy when he get aload of Guliani's positions.... Personally I like Guliani and his positions. I just can't bring myself to vote Republican until this current crop of yes men and idiot's are purged from office.

Maybe Guliani will run again in say a decade.

Doesn't matter. The democrats will win the presidency in 08.

Guilliani and Mccain will never get the Republican nod and will be making quick exits after the conservatives votes for other people in the primaries. If Mitt Romney can over conservates dislike for mormans- he has a shot. Otherwise the Republican nominee will be someone not even on the radar right now.

The democratic nominee maybe John Edwards or someone else. I think Hillary will implode and already is losing support. Obama will flame out also and will show what a lightwieght he is.

I do think after 8 years of Bush- people will not want another republican in the presidency. There will be enough people that feel that way, in enough states to reach 270 electoral votes.

Beware the Newt...

It depends. The primary deciding factor will be how many people are willing to stick their heads in the sand and chuck national security. The Democrats, if anything, are weakening their position even more now that they have some power. They cannot reconcile their left wing base with anything that even superficially appears to be an interest in protecting the country.

I don't really understand the last statement. I'm an independent, but I like Giuliani. To me it's not about winning back the White House for one party or another. It's about finding the right person (or the least crappy) person to lead the country for the next four year. I don't really give a crap if there's a R or a D next to his or her name, and I don't think that Republicans whose views don't match up with McCain or Giuliani are sitting around thinking "gee, these guys'll win me back the White House".

Guliani had prior knowledge. He should be put under oath and forced to testify before a REAL 9/11 commission. He's also an adulterer and a lousy one at that. There is nothing remotely presidential about him except for name recognition. But...that is enough these days and I think he has shot at it.

Why do you say Guiliani had prior knowledge?

Bush will have nothing to do with the election. Remember many republicans voted Dem during the last election to prove a point. When it comes to a president election they will be back voting repub.

The problem with the dems is Obama and Hillary are going to cancel each other out.

Well Hillary is 5th on my list after Obama, Edwards, Gore and Biden. I can definitely live with Obama canceling Hillary out if that means Edwards gets it.

You're seriously suggesting he had prior knowledge of the attacks? Seriously? I'd just like to make sure I'm clear here.

A lot of folks had prior knowledge. Guillani was the mayor and he's shrewd and smart as hell. Politically, he played it perfectly. He surely knew a great deal about what was possible on that day.

Then again, I have no proof, just anecdotal speculation. It's a "WMD/Iraq" type of opinion. :laugh:

So you're just making it up, essentially? Who else is on your list?

I don't know why McCain and Guilliani are always talked about as the next Rep. nominees. Look for a governor to join the running and take the Rep. nomination.

BTW, anyone know the last time someone from the Hill moved into the White House? Interesting how almost every elected President in the last 30 years was a governor prior to being elected to the White House..

Bush II--governor

Clinton--governor

Bush I--(Mixed goven't experience)--VP

Reagan--governor

Carter--governor

Ford--House of Representatives--V.P.--President (not elected to either Executive branch position.

Nixon--Senate

Johnson--Senate, V.P.--President (not elected to President)

Kennedy--Senate

Eisenhower--Army General

Truman--Senate

*edit*

Personally it seems to me like the shift happened with Nixon. My guess is that starting with Nixon there was a distrust from within the beltway.
