WASHINGTON — Leaders of conservative Christian organizations plan to jointly interview Republican contenders for the 2008 presidential nomination, perhaps even endorsing one of them — steps that could expand their already considerable political influence.

“We'd like to try to stay together,” Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, said at a breakfast with reporters Wednesday. The ad hoc group includes “free thinkers” and “strong personalities,” he says, but they might unite behind a candidate who “unquestionably” best represented their views and priorities.

Satan works.

2. Unreal
Those who plan to participate include leading figures of the Christian right: James Dobson of Focus on the Family, Paul Weyrich of the Free Congress Foundation, the Rev. Donald Wildmon of the American Family Association, Perkins and Bauer. Others also would join them.


Some of the names that have been mentioned on the Christian right are scary. With Dobson being the main one.I am still wondering where in the hell did they find gary bauer damn I thought he dropped off the radar.
Dont forget the bunch of bigots and racists from the AFA...

4. I love how these people choose a candidate...
Instead of choosing amoungst the candidates that announced they're running, these nut cases need to groom someone to forward their oppressive agenda. And they believe in democracy? I think not.
