My election prediction

[andrewducker]

Bush will get in, because not enough people are that fed up with Bush.

Things will get worse, with Bush pushing rightwards and christianwards until so many people are fed up that the next election is a landslide for the Democrats.

This will change the face of US politics in 4 years time, with the populace at large being less trusting of any political party.

with Bush pushing rightwards and christianwards

You know, if he really pressed Christianwards - love thy neighbour, turn the other cheek, love others, all the fundemental points of the faith - people would apprive of him a whole lot more.

What I suspect you mean is that he'll push more towards that odd, US brand of right wing pseudo Christianity that owes as much to christianity as Osama Bin Laden's version of jihad bears to Islam.

You know, there's something I often say, living smack-dab in the Bible belt...

"Lord, protect me from your followers." Christian mores, at their root, are pretty reasonable, even from a pagan perspective. "Don't be an @$$hole resonates with everyone..."

Bush and the neo-conservative movement seems to have picked up on the whole insquisitional aspect of Christianity, and that makes me sad and scared.

Agreed.

Jesus would _not_ approve.
