Thanks, F16. I never even heard of the Constitution Party, LOL.
I have a feeling Ron Reagan would have agreed with Post 839...that the religious right DID vote for GWB. "My father didn't wear his religious beliefs on his sleeve.", a direct slam at the President.
I wonder how many votes the Constitution guys got anyway.
I don't believe anyone ever said the religious right didn't vote for GWB. What I and others have said is that they weren't the only ones. In fact, I believe that without the war on terrorism, Bush probably wouldn't have won.
People didn't vote for Bush because of family or religious values - they voted for him because he understands the war on terror (at least a lot better than Kerry) and for lower taxes..
Do you think Bush would have been elected if the only thing he differed with Kerry on was family and religious values? If he had campaigned on putting prayer in school and against rock and roll music, he would have gotten about 20% of the vote.
The religious right didn't "elect GWB" - they somewhat contributed to it. As far as "believing" your eyes - check out how many of the posters in this thread disagree with you and F16. Its way over half. That might not be scientific, but this is a very conservative forum so it should give you some idea.
If you want something more scientific, check out Barrone's analysis.
