dear mr. bush and mr. cheney:

the evangelicals are coming after you two as well

...A Virginia pro-family advocate says the people who helped re-elect President Bush don't support homosexual relationships -- the administration apparently does. Joe Glover, president of the Family Policy Network, has worked tirelessly for family values, including the fight against legalized homosexual "marriage." He says it was conservative Christians who put the president back in office and who held to the belief that the president shared their views. But Glover says the day after the election, that all seemed to go out the window. "The day after George Bush was elected president again, because of this morals revolution taking place in our country, he allows his vice president to not only put his lesbian daughter on the platform, but to bring her lesbian 'partner' up on the stage with him," Glover says. "It almost seems to be a slap in the face from the get-go against the very conservatives that re-elected the president at a time when he ought to paying them some homage and respect." Glover says the Cheney daughter's open flaunting of her homosexuality is the antithesis of what the administration claims to stand for -- and that the post-election display sends a mixed message to Bush supporters.

this is what happens when you pander to people who don't live for this life, who don't live in reality, who use religion to preach intolerance. just to let you two know, many of the members in your party DO live on this planet and will not be happy living under these extreme interpretations of christian law. what will happen in the next four years is a great divide in the republican party no matter what you do. if you continue to pander to religious zealots, expect losing votes to the libertarian party or the democratic party among reality-based republicans. expect the evangelicals to turn on you further if you decide to take a secular approach to policy making.

maybe the dems are not in bad shape after all. maybe the democrats just need to twiddle their thumbs for the next four years and watch a burgeoning civil war in the republican party. really, it's not impossible. in fact, it's quite probable.
