EMAIL OF THE DAY

“Have to disagree with David Brooks and evidently you. To point out that the evangelicals voted in the same proportion for Bush as they did in 2000 gets a fact right and misses the point. What matters is that the Bush vote by these folks did not erode in the face of catastrophic management of post-invasion Iraq, prisoner atrocities, transformation of the surplus into a suffocating deficit and terrible job performance. It seems to me that their religious views trump everything. You switched your vote – why didn’t they? The answer is complex, but you can bet it includes homophobia deftly catalyzed by Mr. Rove et. al.” He’s got a point, no?
