Misconceptions are about to be shot down:
1) Focus on the Family founder James Dobson never said that Fred Thompson is not "Christian enough." He said that in his opinion, many in the religious right would not consider him "Christian enough" to vote for. This and a few other intentional mischaracterizations by the "drive-by media" of Dobson's positions have made him the whipping boy du jour for many naive conservatives and some Christians.
2) Rudy Giuliani is not the inevitable G.O.P. nominee. Now he enjoys the united support of social liberals in his party, while social conservatives are split several ways. Once weaker Republican candidates start dropping out, you'll see a uniting of social conservatives behind one man who will hopefully rocket past Rudy.
3) Conservatives can be just as irrational and mean-spirited as many liberals are. I must confess that this was a shocker to me, because my conservative friends are generally rational and rarely spiteful. I'm kinda new to the blogosphere, and I found that trying to explain points 1) and 2) to some posters on right-wing websites was an exercise in futility. I'm disillusioned. I don't know...maybe some of those hatemongers were liberals in disguise, trying to get us divided. But there seems to be too many half-baked haters in the G.O.P. Talk about Republicans acting like Democrats...
