theres a practical political consideration in this as well. Bush won reelection largely due to the massive turnout of Christian "values" voters. i'm sure it would be difficult to argue that.

If Repubs are weak on the "values" debate, lose the moral high ground on critical social issues, or give the appearance of having no clear moral differences with the hollywood crowd, this will be the obvious result :

Conservative Christians sit home and Repubs LOSE elections.

At FR, you'd find plenty political transvestites and RINOs who'd argue that very contention.
