Second, since when does Robertson, Falwell or Dobson speak for all, or a majority, of Evangelicals? A faulty conclusion based on leftist fantasies as to what is or what is not and Evangelical. Leftists usually ascribe lock step and goose step behavior from Evangelicals because they know not one.

I have no idea what position Robertson, Falwell or Dobson have on any of the candidates, and that is because I haven't cared enough to find out. I can hear the candidates' own words and make my own decisions about their suitability for holding public office. Anyone who believes that Christians need to hear from any so called religious leader to form their opinions has not a clue about how we think.

People who believe such things tend to hail from the northeast, where the predominant strain of Christianity is Catholicism. As a result, they presume some sort of hierarchy, kind of like the Vatican. It's an understandable mistake, given their lack of familiarity, but Pat Robertson in no way equates with a bishop or cardinal, let alone the Pope, so his words only carry weight among those evangelicals who choose to give them weight.
