Wow. I have always thought James Dobson was nuts, but that "God Does Work.." link to the Dobson interview via Andrew Sullivan's blog was unbelieveable. That is a steaming bowl of crazy. You would think that some Republican could score by denouncing him as a loon.

No kidding. That interview is some scary shit.

It's almost enough to make me start cheer for Giuliani...

As much as I hate Dobson, one has to realize that evangelicals make up about 60% of the GOP base. I don't like Guliani either. His lack of evangelical support looks to be proof that he won't get the nomination. So both of them can suck it.
