With rare exception, the party and probably to a point Mr. Rove marketed the President as a Christian man divinely guided by God and placed in the job by God himself. They put the President and the First Lady on a religious pedestal.

Utter rubbish.

Almost to a man, even the most ardent pro lifers abandoned one of their own (the constitution party candidate) for Mr. Bush.

ROFLMAO; sure. The Constitution Party that couldn't even agree on which ROOM to meet in was going to win this election?

Not only was the election expected to be close, as it was, but I even heard some very ardent consitution party supporters admit that the President was the right Christian man who wouldn't disappoint them, becasue being a lame duck, he didn't have to worry about re-election again. Get him elected, and he would pay the Christians back for their support by advancing their agenda.

And this is your first mistake: believing what the right wingers tell you: for your information, and just so I'll know you know, Karl Rove didn't even COUNT on the religious right vote in 2004 because YOU ALL STAYED HOME IN A SNIT in 2000. The GOP of tired of being blackmailed by you all!

OMG! Where's Luis and his "base" graphic when we need him?

They won the election for GWB in 2004?

I didn't know THAT.

First of all you know I'm not RR. Secondly, I am close to some that are. That is what they have told me. Also, listen to Christian talk radio in your area. Listen closely.
