Dr. James Dobson of Focus on the Family and noted Christian Evangelical leader may compromise his values and endorse Senator John McCain for president after he had stated months earlier, “Speaking as a private individual, I would not vote for John McCain under any circumstances.” But, circumstances have changed for Dr. Dobson. He has recently stated, “I never thought I would hear myself saying this... while I am not endorsing Senator John McCain, the possibility is there that I might.”
He has a big problem with Obama’s political issues and I suppose endorsing McCain is the only way to solve his Obama problem. I suppose that the Republicans’ mantra of “fall in line” may be an influence on Dr. Dobson.
What happened to the matter of principle? Does pragmatism override principles these days? These are strange days indeed. Dr. Dobson has said he would not vote for McCain under any circumstances. Matthew 5:7 states: “But let your statement be, 'Yes, yes ' or 'No, no'; anything beyond these is of evil.” I find it ironic in Dr. Dobson’s situation that he would go back on his word.
If Dr. Dobson is a man of faith, then he should not give in to voting for the “lesser of two evils.” There are other candidates in the third parties, like Chuck Baldwin, who is a Christian and a pastor. He is running for the Constitution Party.
I recently wrote to Focus on The Family, addressing it to Dr. Dobson:
Hello Dr. Dobson,
After hearing the news of you possibly endorsing McCain, I have lost respect for you and your organization. I used to listen to you on Christian radio, but I cannot bring myself to do it anymore. I cannot believe you have not heard of Chuck Baldwin who is truly a man of God, and running for president of the United States. With the influence you have with the evangelicals and the Christian right, if you endorsed Chuck Baldwin--he could very well have a chance to be president.
I implore you to reconsider and pray who really deserves your endorsement. I know evangelicals make up a good percentage of this country and you have a major influence on them. You and I know very well endorsing McCain will be a grave mistake---I don't think you would want that on your conscience. God Bless and I pray that you make the right decision.
I have yet to receive a response…
