Wow, I mean I knew Bush pandered to the Christian "right", but the extent of their insincerity is amazing.

He says some of the nation’s most prominent evangelical leaders were known in the office of presidential political strategist Karl Rove as “the nuts.”

More seriously, Kuo alleges that then-White House political affairs director Ken Mehlman knowingly participated in a scheme to use the office, and taxpayer funds, to mount ostensibly “nonpartisan” events that were, in reality, designed with the intent of mobilizing religious voters in 20 targeted races.
Isn't that illegal?

“Many of the grant-winning organizations that rose to the top of the process were politically friendly to the administration,” he says....“But,” she said with a giggle, ‘When I saw one of those non-Christian groups in the set I was reviewing, I just stopped looking at them and gave them a zero … a lot of us did.’”
Theocracy, anyone?

Man, I've had enough of this crap.

Dawkins already indicated this in his interview.

This goes beyond what Dawkins was talking about in that it involves the use of Bush's new Office of Faith Based Initiatives, a brand new government agency devoted to giving out tax money to religious organizations.

It turns out, he doesn't support any religious organizations, only those that support Bush, and none of them other than Christian in nature.

I no longer think of politicians as anything but opportunists; the only choice available is to get hold of one who's opportunities lie in the same direction.

Some people probably think they are using Bush.

Some people probably think they are using Bush.

And in reality a handful of people ends up using the world.

Wow - it seems, the shit is really hitting the fan for the GOP?
But is it?
What's the mood like in the USA? I mean people are pretty stuborn in their support. I think Karl can spin this as Demon-crats trying to subvert Gods will and Bush as God's messenger......

I think the truth will be known in Nov. elections how much support
Bush really has. (my prediction is 'not much') God's messenger? I don't think so.

This book is just part of the mainstream medias full court press to supress Republican voters. Will it work? We'll see soon.

I think the evangelicals are pissed at Bush already, he has done nothing substantive for them, and behind their backs, he calls them nuts. With the help of Bush and Rove's own words and actions, this will supress their loyalty to this administration.

Yeah but who else are they going to back.
