Dobson: "Center right, you're dead to me"

by David Safier

James Dobson of right-wing-Christian Focus on the Family is unhappy with conservative columnist Kathleen Parker for jumping ship over the Sarah Palin nomination and bemoaning the stranglehold the Christian Right has on the Republican Party.

Dobson:

Whatever she once was, Ms. Parker is certainly not a conservative anymore, having apparently realized it’s a lot easier to be popular among your journalistic peers when your keyboard tilts to the left.

The GOP's big tent is shrinking to the size of a two-man pup tent -- and one of those two guys is not entirely sure of the political purity of the other. (And why are two men sleeping in close proximity to one another inside a pup tent? Lord, lead me not into temptation!)

I agree with Dobson. Kick 'em all out. Keep the party pure. I think the Republican party should be a small band of righteous believers who refuse to taint themselves by consorting with anyone who deviates from the true faith.

Wow Saffier this is relevant! Tucson has the rare honor of being one of the most violent cities per capita in America - 70 homicides to date and you are yipping over the pontiff of Colorado Springs?

So much for getting a life after the election.

Congradulations btw I'm glad to see the President-elect continue in giving America a Bush third term.

Well its hard for me to really agree with this being a young Republican. I feel like the Republican Party has to reform slightly to regain ground in future elections.
