Sorry, but your #6 is incompatible with 1 - 5.

I've done plenty of "backing down" from, or compromising, my beliefs politically in the past several years to support this administration.

Tell me what this administration has gotten for us conservative Christians. Not just words, or intentions expressed, but results.

Don't bother explaining the lack of results by blaming Congress, or the courts. What has this administration DONE for conservative Christians?

What has this administration DONE for conservative Christians?

Stopped federal funding of abortions, continued support for faith based initiatives, total ban on human cloning etc.
None of which we would have seen under a President Gore.

"FAMILY OF LACI AND CONNOR PETERSON SUPPORTING SENATOR ENSIGN'S AND REP. MELISSA HART'S PRO-LIFE BILL -- This week, the family of Laci Peterson and her unborn son, Connor, came out in support of legislation which would make it a crime to kill or injure an unborn baby during the commission of federal crimes of violence, crimes under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, or crimes committed on federal land. Senator Mike DeWine, R-OH, is the Senate sponsor of a bill, which would do just that. Congresswoman Melissa Hart, R-PA, is the author of the House bill, which has already passed overwhelmingly twice. The Democrat-controlled Senate never even considered the bill during the past Congress. Senator DeWine and Congresswoman Hart held a press conference this week touting their bill. The House bill will be named the "Laci and Connor Peterson Act."

"HISTORIC VOTE IN THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES REMOVES THE BARRIERS TO FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATIONS -- On Thursday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 1261, the "Workforce Reinvestment & Adult Education Act" authored by Congressman Howard P. "Buck" McKeon, R-CA, which contains a provision to remove a specific barrier in a federal program that prevents religious organizations from participating in federal programs while maintaining their religious character and mission. The Chairman of the House Education & Workforce Committee, John Boehner, R-OH, said, "The legislation before us would give our nation's governors and communities new tools to meet the unique needs of the people they serve." Chairman Boehner said that even Bill Clinton sanctioned several other federal programs under which a job candidate's religion could be taken into consideration when hiring and still receive federal funds."

"HOUSE AND SENATE MAJORITY LEADERS PRAISE SENATOR RICK SANTORUM -- Following the ultra-liberal attack by politicians and the mainstream media this week on Senator Rick Santorum, R-PA, for remarks saying he agreed with the 1986 Supreme Court decision (upholding the Georgia antisodomy law), Majority Leader Tom DeLay said, "I think Senator Santorum took a very courageous and moral position based upon principles and his world view." And Majority Leader DeLay said he was proud of Senator Santorum for "standing on principle." Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist said that Senator Santorum's support among his fellow Republicans in the Senate was solid. Majority Leader Frist said, "Absolutely, he will remain in leadership. He has the full, 100 percent confidence of the Republican leadership in the United States Senate." "

"National NOW Times >> Fall 2002 >> Article
Bush Packs U.S. Courts with Ultra-Conservative Judges as Senate Rolls Over
by Linda Berg, Political Director
...To date the Bush administration has sent nearly 120 judicial nominations to the Senate; 81 have had hearings and 64 have been confirmed.
...And Lavenski Smith, who is rabidly anti-abortion, and even filed suit to prevent abortions from being performed in hospitals, was easily confirmed to the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals."

That's just for starters.

Don't bother explaining the lack of results by blaming Congress, or the courts. What has this administration DONE for conservative Christians?

What exactly is it that you expect the administration to do when anything that even has a touch of Christian conservatism is viciously attacked? You say don't mention Congress or the courts but the fact is we have three branches of government and I suspect the road to most of your goals leads through more than the executive branch. Oh, and don't forget the most viciously hated member of his administration, Ashcroft, is a Christian conservative.
