Well, look what the fear of an Obama presidency has done! It has pushed Dobson from a third party candidate to McCain<\/a>!<\/p>\n

“I never thought I would hear myself saying this,” Dobson said in a radio broadcast to air Monday. “… While I am not endorsing Senator John McCain, the possibility is there that I might.”
\n[…]
\n“There’s nothing dishonorable in a person rethinking his or her positions, especially in a constantly changing political context,” Dobson said in a statement to the AP. “Barack Obama contradicts and threatens everything I believe about the institution of the family and what is best for the nation. His radical positions on life, marriage and national security force me to reevaluate the candidacy of our only other choice, John McCain.”

\n“If that is a flip-flop, then so be it.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nAfter his attack on Obama<\/a>, I kind of figured that he was going to be supporting McCain eventually. What other choice does he have? He can either vote for McCain or allow Obama to become president and if he’s really against Obama’s policies then McCain is the only way to stop him.
\nI’m not there yet. I know that McCain is an improvement over Obama but McCain is arrogant, abrasive, annoying and he seems like a jerk. I don’t think that he has the right temperament to be president. I think he’ll wind up being a pretty mediocre one (Ford comes to mind) but my fear is that Obama will be much worse (Carter comes to mind \ud83d\ude42 and I just don’t think that we can afford such an inexperienced guy who knows nothing about this war on terror running it (even though he has three hundred advisers<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
