The Secret Money blog is a joint project of the Center for Investigative Reporting and National Public Radio.

And to think that anyone thought James Dobson would sit out this presidential race.

The Christian Right leader and his advocacy group, Focus on the Family Action, are planning a multi-state strategy to help elect McCain, and to prevent Democratic gains in Congress while they’re at it.

The group’s September newsletter spells out some nightmare scenarios it says could happen with an Obama adminisration: Supreme Court Justice Hillary Clinton; open homosexuality in the barracks; a Freedom of Choice Act invalidating all abortion limitations.

The newsletter then explains the group’s action plan for defeating Obama: 1. Harness the media with crafty “marketing ingenuity.” 2. Directly target voters “in a big way in up to 16 states with key U.S. Senate and House races.” That will include mailers, emails and “carefully targeted radio ads.”

1. Hello IRS?

2. Good luck with that, Mr. Dobson

Considering the McCain campaign is running low on funds and hasn't even established statewide campaign offices in some states, you will be pissing away a great deal of money without any party apparatus to support your efforts. So spend a whole lot, Jimmy!

3. He will never be for McCain, he is for Palin

I have no doubt about that.

4. '..open homosexuality in the barracks.." Dobson would be funny, if he weren't

so influential. I hope that during the Obama administration, Dobson and his FoF are surgically removed from their parasitic hold on the US military.

5. Fuck Dobson! when I lived in Colo. Spgs. (where Focus on the Family is HQ'd), I saw a

bumper sticker that said 'FOCUS ON YOUR OWN DAMN FAMILY'. That sez it all, folks. :^)
