AFP: "The US Christian right took credit for helping Bush win re-election"
Standing Christ-like in front of this stunning stained-glass window. All hail the second reign of the most holy Lord Emperor Bunnypants.

:puke:

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The US Christian right took credit for helping President George W. Bush (news - web sites) win re-election this week, in part by mobilizing its followers to vote for a ban on gay marriage in 11 of the 50 states.

Although millions of religious conservatives did not vote in 2000, exit polls last Tuesday showed they turned out in force this time around.

"Christian evangelicals made the major difference once again this year," said Roberta Combs, president of the Christian Coalition of America.

"George W. Bush has won re-election as president exactly as his campaign planned -- on the strength of his appeal among religious conservatives," said Beliefnet, an organization providing information on different religions.

2. But I thought they left everything in God's hands?
Now they are more powerful than Bush or Rove or God himself?
