Back Room Buffoonery

Oh, won’t this be fun to watch.

A powerful group of conservative Christian leaders decided Saturday at a private meeting in Salt Lake City to consider supporting a third-party candidate for president if a pro-choice nominee like Rudy Giuliani wins the Republican nomination.

The meeting of about 50 leaders, including Focus on the Family’s James Dobson, the Family Research Council’s Tony Perkins, and former presidential candidate Gary Bauer, who called in by phone, took place at the Grand America Hotel during a gathering of the Council for National Policy, a powerful shadow group of mostly religious conservatives. James Clymer, the chairman of the U.S. Constitution Party, was also present at the meeting, according to a person familiar with the proceedings.

“The conclusion was that if there is a pro-abortion nominee they will consider working with a third party,” said the person, who spoke to Salon on condition of anonymity. The private meeting was not part of the official CNP schedule, which is itself a closely held secret. “Dobson came in just for this meeting,” the person said.

Welcome to the GOP’s apocalypse. If I had a dollar for every time these nutbars threw one of their temper tantrums, I could have enough money to help Ron Paul get the nomination.
