		<description>Thanks, Tom.  That is one complicated mess, and I need to write about it.

Jennifer, behave!  :)

Huckabee's still waiting for a miracle in Washington state, but instead it looks like Republican business as usual.  If you can't win it, steal it, and as much as the PTB hate McCain, they hate Huck more.</description>

		<description>Kathy, perhaps if you would be more obedient to your husband and submit yourself dutifully you would have less time to persist in your rabble rousing.  Bill, might I be so bold as to suggest a gentle but firm spanking administered with love and the Holy Spirit?  And I know where you can order some really pretty pantaloons for her!!</description>

		<description>Kathy, have you been to Lawyers Guns &#38; Money today?  They excerpt a great editorial from the Tuscaloosa paper calling on Mukasey to investigate the Siegelman prosecution.</description>

		<description>Perhaps the learned Dr. Dobson and his favorite Baptist candidate should read their Scriptures. It does not take a rocket scientist (only an intellectually honest Christian) to know WWJD with the regressive "fair tax" sham.</description>

		<description>Jonathan, of course Dobson is permitted to have an opinion as a private citizen and to voice it.  What he's not permitted to do is endorse as an agent of his non-profit.  He's using the dodge of mailing out the endorsement through his (c)(4) instead.  I'm certainly not on the mailing list of every 501(c)(3) out there, but I am quite familiar with three organizations here in the state that maintain separate non-profit and lobbying arms -- Alabama Arise, Alabama Citizens for Constitutional Reform, and Equality Alabama.  I've never known any of them to use their (c)(4) mailing lists to disseminate endorsements.  YMMV.

You might remember that the &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/18/AR2005111802501.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;IRS investigated a church&lt;/a&gt; in California because its former pastor gave an anti-war sermon just before the 2004 election.  So far, there's been no similar action against people like &lt;a href="http://www.queervoice.net/kmcmullen/2007/08/20/mike-huckabees-crazy-ass-supporters/" rel="nofollow"&gt;these preachers who endorsed Mike Huckabee&lt;/a&gt;, so I'd have to say there is disparity in treatment.

I don't think preachers should be endorsing candidates regardless of their political philosophy, but during the past eight years it's been perfectly fine for religious right figures to do it, while more liberal ones have been put on notice by the IRS investigation that they must be careful.  No pity party, just reality.</description>

		<description>So no one with any connection to a 501(c)3 or other non-profit/tax-exempt organization is allowed to have an opinion? Or at least never be able to voice it? If this is the desired scenario, then it needs to fly both ways - not just be applied to the "evil" fundies and conservatives.

Can you honestly say there are no liberal organizations that don't do the same thing? They don't voice as "private citizens" who they are supporting? That's pretty impressive. If only the GOP was that clean.

While I don't support a candidate based off just one person's endorsement, I do take them into consideration. I make my own opinions though. Unfortunately, there are plenty of people in this country, both red and blue, who wish to be like sheep and be told who to vote for.

I find it funny every election year when both sides begin to throw stones stating one side is doing this, or doing that. They're all politicians. You don't get to the Presidential level without making deals and compromises. Look at Ron Paul. He didn't and wouldn't compromise and he doesn't have a chance.

Back to the subject, don't play the pity party here and act like Christian right wingers are the only ones with databases full of email addresses. Democrats use the exact same tactics and methods.

And yes, I also believe the Fair Tax is a brilliant idea. But I guess that discussion is for another day. :)</description>
