Another Christian vote for a third party movement

You should be hearing a reoccurring drum beat from these Christians. It is time to quit playing the Republican bait and switch game and to get busy forming our own political party.

Here’s the trap they fall into. Every election cycle they wait and see who the candidates are going to be and then try and pick the “most Christian” of the bunch. You don’t rise to the top of American politics in the two-party system without a great deal of compromise. What was it Glen Campbell sang in Rhinestone Cowboy? “There’s been a load of compromisin’ on the road to my horizon.” It is time to look outside the current political system.

If Dr. Dobson and friends were to begin right now to focus on 2012 they can “git ‘er dun.” Surely those referenced in my Dobson letter can find a qualified “Christian leader” to carry the mantle. No more professional politicians, no more Washington “insiders,” find a Christian statesman who has been successful outside the realm of politics and throw all of their support behind him. Why do they think only politicians can lead, when in fact, most make it to the top by following the party line? What makes a lifetime in politics a good thing on the resume’?  

“But Coach, you’ll just divide the party and Hillary will win.” Shut up, will you, you mind-numbed robot? You’re smarter than that. Maybe the Republican Party needs to go the way of the Whigs.
