Of course we gotta give thanks to Bush for exciting and co-opting the religious vote so well. That, in my opinion, legitimized idiotic discourse about religious values in politics, education, individual rights, etc. I don't doubt the guy is Christian, but it seemed he was more than willing to play up the religious overtones (GOD'S NATION!!!!!!1) to push his own agenda. Selfish, short-sighted, and dumb. Par for the course, I guess.
