Dobson, Land etal were just being water boys. I've never quite figured out what the payoff is to them, but there at some time will be one at least in their minds. They've been promised something. These guys have embraced a President that will always leave them short of their desired outcomes. I'm not saying that makes Pres Bush a bad President. I'm just saying that if this had been a dem President and had done many of the same things Bush has done, they'd be all over the dem for their actions. These guys have been promised something.

These guys have been promised something.

An audience with the President. A seat at the table. Considered input.

Just look at how Dobson and a couple other religious righties were consulted for final approval just before Miers was announced.
To me, that says these guys have lost their credibility, and no amount of cheerleading is going to get them back in the door.

Bush has tossed out a lot of red meat for the Christian right. They know that.

Dobson and others were contacted by a over zealous sell job that occurred because the reactions were stronger negatives than expected. They should not have done it, and I still don't know who came up with that brainless idea. I doubt it was Bush, it was probably someone on the Christian right who is close to the admin and thought they were doing him and Miers a favor.
