<snip>
By one measure, conservative Christians comprised 12 percent of the electorate this year — the same as four years ago.

So it this was all about the "moral" vote?

Mandate my ass.

1. that is the most frightening thing I've read this entire year
These people are insane with arrogance, self-righteousness and misplaced entitlement. I'm 100% behind the recounts, and all for counting the votes, and believe that must be done; but reading this kinda stuff makes me wonder about the aftermath.

2. Bingo!
I also think that it was too convenient of a smoke-screen. The people that voted for Bush voted on campaign jargon of morality, but a majority of us live in the real world and have seen what 4 years of Bush has done to this country.

What does that say about the opinion we have of our fellow countrymen that we as a country would fall for such bullshit. I know there are a lot of freepers out there, but 59 million?

But I guess if the mainstream media says it, it has to be true. lol
