re: #411 Lateralis

If I recall correctly McCain was the Republican nominee which he is far from a theocrat. If they are taking over they are not doing a very good job.

Apparently you don’t recall the reason why John McCain picked Sarah Palin as his running mate: to mollify the religious right, particularly James Dobson, who was about to command his millions of followers not to vote for McCain. Palin was a sop to the religious right by McCain, and it worked — Dobson gave McCain his endorsement after he chose Palin.

And then he lost anyway.
