This is why John Kerry and Al Gore came so close to being president. The "holier than thou" crowd scares away voters twice their number who would otherwise love to be conservatives.
Conservatism is being high jacked by a small minority (who fancy themselves as a majority) that believes that puritan virtues are all that matters. American sovereignty, property rights, protection of the 2nd amendment, high taxation, and the embracing of socialism are just small, peripheral issues to this group.
What really matters is that some "dirty" words are being said on TV and divorce is no longer considered a sin. Bush would haven't gotten at most 20% of the vote if he had publicly campaigned with this group's vision of America, yet they insist that they were the ones the "elected him".
Just maybe people don't want to see trash like Kerry and his wife running this country.
Your political analysis is dead wrong, as is your distorted characterization of the religious right's views and expectations. Your post sounds like it came from People for the American Way or the abortion lobby. Can't you do better than this?
