Religious Right Turns On Bush

The New York Times buried this story on an inside page, characterizing it as being about social conservatives peeved that more of their far right leaders aren't speaking at the Republican convention. But this is actually a much bigger story about how everyone on the religious right is FURIOUS at Bush. They're mad because he doesn't gay bash enough; they're mad that he endangered their tax exempt status by trying to turn local churches around the country into campaign headquarters for his reelection; they're mad that he's afraid to let the country know how radically far right he is (Bush agrees with them that science is for losers; that everyone deserves equal rights except for infidels, women, gays, agnostics, atheists and so on) and they are letting him know it. Quoting top radical right figures who say that if Bush is too embarrassed to stand by him during the convention, why then maybe they'll be too embarrassed to stand by him on election day? Shocking. One more sign that less than four months before the election and things are not going well for Bush.
