basil, see #49.

Here's more:

Finkelstein told Maariv that he was troubled by the strategy of dividing the country by "values of religion and culture."

"Bush courted the evangelical vote," he said, "and turned these elections, in fact, into a referendum on the religious and cultural nature of America. This is my problem."

I have little doubt of this guy's (new) agenda.

It's reminiscent of what Danforth has been saying. I don't agree with it; in fact I think it is very stupid for Republicans to be cursing their luck. I accept that plenty of conservatives aren't quite on board with the strain of politics that energizes the moral values people, with the underlying philosophy. I think that this rift will pass over.

In the meantime, someone tell them to stop burning bridges. But I think it would be a mistake to call for a purge of Danforths and Finkelsteins.
