Poll question: Is a vote for Nader a spoiler vote/should James Dobson encourage people to vote Republican?
As you know, James Dobson has made it known that he will not be supporting certain pro-choice Republican candidates for the presidency. Also, many people think that Nader is a spoiler. What are your attitudes towards these events?

1. Nader effect aside
James Dobson should NOT politic from the pulpit. that is wrong wrong wrong. he should be ashaimed of himself and his ilk. but alas he will not stop. luckally he has no gaydar. so his cronies get outed every election.

3. He does not have a pulpit....
He does not lead a congregation or denomination. He does have the airwaves....and that in my view is different.....that does not mean I agree with an iota of what he says...just seeking to clarify that he has no "pulpit".

5. How about if everyone just makes up their own mind
who to vote for, votes their conscience, and we celebrate democracy?

Are there no people able to think for themselves and come to their own decision left in this nation, that they need Dobson or LoZoccolo or ANYONE ELSE to tell them who it's ok to vote for, or not?

6. I can't choose
You see what I believe is that Nader would be a spoiler vote in this election, and that Dobson should shut the fuck up or swallow Drano, whichever appeals to him the most.

I don't see that option.

9. No, but I wonder if he'd pull a Travis Bickle on those to the left of him if he was capable.

10. They should both run if they want to.
It's called democracy, and it's not always pretty and doesn't always go how we'd like it to.
