Principled Christian Leadership

James Dobson, a so called "leading voice" in Christianity has shown his true colors. In January, Dobson said "speaking as a private individual, I would not vote for John McCain under any circumstances." (Italics mine)

This is from yesterday:
"I thought I would never hear myself saying this. While I am not endorsing Senator John McCain, the possibility is there that I might."

Yes, I may be jumping the gun since technically he hasn't broken his word, but it is clear he is hedging on his earlier statement. Unfortunately, this isn't too surprising since Jesus constantly chided religous leaders for being hypocritical. It's too bad Dobson is so eager to group himself into that category.
