What I'm guessing is that the huge Christian base that was got to vote for Bush in 2000 and 2004 is being looked to to save the Republicans from loosing control of any parts of the Government this Autumn. Could Americans tell me whether this is likely to work, due to that whole red- state/blue-state thing or is this just something that Bush wants to get through while he's still got definite control of everything?
American *sigh* checking in.
OED, I'd say it's a bit of both, but more of a tactic to galvanize the Fundies. I don't think Shrub is smart enough personally to really know what he's doing. He's Cheney's puppet and is plugged in every night by Papa Bush.
It seemed that this whole "gay marriage is the APOCALYPSE!" conveeeeeeeeeniently showed up again when Americans began to become more and more polarized about the war (aka Big Fucking Mess) we've gotten ourselves into.
The White House looked at its hand and threw this card down, knowing it would reel the RR back in and a lot of other less conservative constituents.
The 2004 elections are a hot mess of debate on some other boards on which I participate. Been a lot of talk recently about how the election was swung in the Midwest (possibly) because of the "anti-gay/lesbian/horse marriage" platform many Republicans took. When voters spoke, they also put some laws down on the book that November.
I hope to whatever source has pity on the rest of the world that we have some sort of revolution. I'm not hopeful, however.
Ugh. Indigestion doing this post. (BTW, I'm looking for the medical establishment to create a diagnostic code for PTBD (post-traumatic Bush disorder)
