Well he's got my vote ::)

“Well, hello everyone. This is Dr. James Dobson, speaking as a private individual.”

“Have you ever made an embarrassing mistake? I did just that last week. I was given misleading information about the candidacy of Dr. Rand Paul, who is running in the Republican Primary for the U.S. Senate. Senior members of the GOP told me Dr. Paul is pro-choice and that he opposes many conservative perspectives, so I endorsed his opponent.”

“But now I’ve received further information from OB/GYN’s in Kentucky whom I trust, and from interviewing the candidate himself.”

“I now know that he is avidly pro life. He believes that life begins at conception.”

“He opposes earmarking and supports Israel. He identifies with the Tea Party movement and believes in home schooling. Sounds like my kind of man.”

“If I lived in Kentucky, I would vote for Dr. Rand Paul. Would you consider sending him to the U.S. Senate to shake things up in Washington?”

It is a pity that anyone would support (or not support) a candidate based on the opinion of a preacher or clergy member.

Besides that, it is nothing but a two word smear attack, "supports Israel" has no context here?

Where is the rest of the story?

As a side note for those that missed in 6 months ago. Peter Schiff shares similar sentiments.

I throw him into the trash heap of being against Arizonas new immigration law.

I'm unaware of his stance on the state of israel.

Part of the problem with supporting any candidate, is that you'll never agree with every position of theirs or the rhetoric they use.

And except for here and a few other very small circles, whenever a candidate mentions 'supporting Israel' its generally regarded as a feather in their cap, buy the other 99.5% that vote.

Your right, but what it tells me is they will say what it takes to get elected. I don't expect to agree 100% with anyone especially people running for office but I sure as hell expect them to uphold the Constitution and nowhere in the law does it say supporting any foreign country.

Like Andrew Schiff asked me when I questioned Peter's neo con foreign policy "can't there be a little nuance in foreign policiy" meaning can't you bend just a little?

I can't.

We are in the position we are in as a nation because we have compromised and have accepted (even gladly) the lesser of two evils. My conscience won't allow it.
