Reply #3: The reason Rudy is still on top, despite abortion and gays, is because [View All]

evangelicals are really, really hoping for an epic battle with Islam, and Rudy simply seems the most out-front on this. The original Neocons, who tended to be Jewish, have really tapped deep into Bible-belt sensibilities to manipulate the gullible born-agains into installing Chimpy and supporting his wars (he speaks their code)--constant references to freedom and patriotism and democracy, constant flag-waving and threats of Sharia law and terror--it paid off. GWB was not selected by accident--he was crucial to bringing this bloc into the neocon fold. They were all played like a flute, and the funny thing is, the evangelical voters seem to have no idea of the true contempt this neocon administration really has for them--they were a means to an end. Good post, didn't know about the Iran/Russia thing.
