BUSH ROUSES THE SLEEPING DOGS OF THE CULTURE WAR

By Arianna Huffington

“I’m a war president,” George Bush told us.

But as the body count in Iraq continues to rise, the president’s approval
rating plummets, and the furor over phantom WMD, sexed-up intel, and
Bush’s spotty Air National Guard service refuses to go away, it appears
Karl Rove is planning a small rewrite for his candidate: “I’m a culture
war president.”

Remember that divisive pre-9/11 campaign staple? Well, it’s flared up
again — with a vengeance and a rash of new administration actions clearly
aimed at shoring up the president’s Christian conservative base.

In the last month, the president has traded in his too-tight flight suit
for a revival tent, backing a new anti-obscenity crusade, anti-condom
sex-ed programs, a renewed commitment to fighting the drug war, and his
attorney general’s efforts to poke around the private medical records of
women who’ve had abortions. He even hinted in his State of the Union that
he’d be willing to endorse a constitutional ban on gay marriage.

With Silver Starred John Kerry threatening the president’s hold on the
high ground of national defense, Team Bush has decided it’s time to switch
battlefields and start screaming about Sodom and Gomorrah.

1. seems everything is at risk this year

I fear that the election night returns may make 2000 look like little league, and be a big mess.

just now, one of the Media asked about a paper trail, and when I voted in the poll, people were 92% concerned of not having one ... and, we're how many months before what may yet turn out, the most important election in American history?
