Then you'd better speak up now. Or maybe you should ask Bush Senior how much he enjoyed his second term.

You get conservatives mad enough and they will stay home. And your puny scolding will make no difference. The Christian Right vote continues to decline so it's hard to pander to them. Given how narrow Bush's re-election as a wartime president was in 2004, do you really want to take that chance?
