So maybe I'll register as a Republican

Now that Jerry Falwell has done the mortal coil shuffle, James Dobson has decided once and for all to take the reins of Christianofascism and ride it like the Rocking Horse Winner.

That Dobson really is a piece of work:

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Religious conservative leader James Dobson will sit out the 2008 presidential election if former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani is the Republican presidential nominee, he wrote Thursday in an online column.

In a piece published on the conservative Web site WorldNetDaily, Dobson wrote that Giuliani's support for abortion rights and civil unions for homosexuals, as well as the former mayor's two divorces, were a deal-breaker for him.

"I cannot, and will not, vote for Rudy Giuliani in 2008. It is an irrevocable decision," he wrote.

"If given a Hobson's -- Dobson's? -- choice between him and Senators Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama, I will either cast my ballot for an also-ran -- or if worse comes to worst, not vote in a presidential election for the first time in my adult life. My conscience and my moral convictions will allow me to do nothing else."

Just the idea that Giuliani's candidacy would thwart the efforts of Dobson and his minions of intolerance-bordering-on-insanity...is almost enough to make me run down to the local elections office and switch my voter registration to Republican.

I might even consider giving the guy money, too.
