licans who then felt very oppressed under Clinton. Mind you, I think that reaction by conservatives was short sighted and self serving, but was the conservative Christian's reaction, nonetheless. Those Republicans (and a lot of them will be Republicans their whole lives barring a major catastrophe {perhaps something like, say, 9/11}) are older now, and can even tolerate Bush* for four years. The question is, will they want to invite him back next year? Honestly, it's possible some of them will not want to vote for Bush*. I personally feel we should avoid angering the Christian right.
I don't associate myself politically with them at all, but I have to deal with my family who are avid Christians. I think the only way to get them or any of that large minority to vote for someone else is to keep away from religious issues...not stir the hornet's nest, so to speek.
This is all part of what I consider the new PC. PC is now a conservative issue, rather than a liberal one. Liberals now must watch their language carefully...a concept that conservatives felt was thrust upon them for many years in the late 20th Century. Liberals now must be willing to do the same thing, and it really is hard.
