This just in: millions of moderate Republicans and gay-terrified evangelical Christians and intellectually numbed conservative parents who thought they were doing some sort of good by blindly voting for Dubya and hence protecting their wee ones from swarthy Islamic evildoers who want to steal their kids' Kraft Lunchables and nuke Disneyland all should be emerging from a deep fog of savage denial any minute now.

Wake, they will, to the increasingly obvious fact that their beloved smirkin' president, the one who seemed to care about them so deeply just a couple weeks ago and who reached out to them and promised them the gun-happy gay-unfriendly moon in exchange for full access to their civil rights and a blank check to do whatever the hell he likes, he apparently doesn't give a damn about them. Not anymore.

The truth will soon be hitting much of the conservative nation like a redneck smacks a dog: now that the fear-saturated Right has handed this failed oilman four more unrestrained years to do his dirtiest deeds and a deeply contaminated, well-greased Congress to do it with, he no longer needs their support and he couldn't care less about their "moral values" or their positions on Social Security reform or the war in Iraq or just what the hell he meant about spending the "political capital" he claims he's earned by winning the election (by the slimmest margin of any incumbent president in history).

Oh, sure, Bush reached out, didn't he, Mrs. Moderate Republican? He made you a believer. He promised more intolerance for gays and more Bible classes in the White House and more laughably irresponsible tax breaks you don't really need and more dumbed-down, black-and-white, good-versus-evil perspectives that take all the pressure off of having to, you know, think.

1. I really had hoped they'd wake up during the past 4 years

When he ran as a "compassionate conservative," I knew he was lying, but even after he proved to be, in truth, a rightwing radical, people out in The Almighty Heartland gave him 4 MORE years ... If they haven't realized he's a snakeoil salesman by now, I don't think they're EVER going to wake up.

5. Most of them did.

Bush is president thru fraud, not bigotry.

2. The end of the artical says it all,

"In the end it will be blamed on Bill Clinton". These fukkers can never take any blame.

:argh:

3. Southern Baptist Church voting block mentality.

I've lived around it all my life. No wonder I grind my teeth in my sleep and my blood pressure is sky high.

Now we are ALL Southern Baptists. Welcome, Brothers (and those Sisters who gracefully submit)

6. Aw, geez

I left that religion when I was 18. Oh well, at least I'll know the hymns.

BTW, while there were numerous reasons I left (It was so not a good fit for me), the clincher was my ongoing argument with my pastor about the necessity of my submitting my will to my soon to be husband. He had no interest in my submitting and I had this silly idea that perhaps, since there were only two of us, maybe we could run the household democratically.

Now, 23 years later, this poly,pagan,perv is supposed to go back to being a Southern Baptist. Snort! I'm thinking no.

7. Weren't Clinton and Carter Southern Baptists?

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

4. Damn, Rambo, you beat me to this (tried to post this at the same time).

Pretty much says it all.

8. the will of the ignorant

that's what we are living under
