Iraq War Weakens Bond Between Bush, Evangelicals

I know there are a lot of evangelicals who are disillusioned with the war and worried about a lot of things, the Woodward book, the Clarke book ... (and) how we got into this thing," said Richard Mouw, president of Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, Calif., referring to recent books on the al Qaeda threat and the Iraqi war and occupation.

Compounding that is the growing scandal about prisoner abuses by U.S. troops in Iraq.

Evangelical Christians are still expected to vote overwhelmingly for Bush, but the erosion of support could reduce their turnout on election day, a potentially ominous development for the incumbent president

1. Dear Bible thumping RWingNuts
You have no one to vote for in November. Take the day off. Visit the grandchildren. Catch a fish. Go to the library. Enjoy yourself.
