Democratic party, he is not telling us anything we didn't already know. I don't know one that voted Republican. As a religious man (Bush), we all understand that most all religions do not condone the Gay lifestyle, nor do the people within those religions. Remember the Gay Bishop that was brought into another religion and the backlash? That wasn't Bush's religion or Bush led backlash, that was the religion's own followers.

Can you really expect Bush to abandon his beliefs because the Gays won't abandon theirs? He thinks it's wrong, Gays think it's right. Bush is still on the side of the clear majority of this country, does that make him and 70 percent of Americans bad people? If you were running for office, which side would you expect to get more votes?

part from the Gay part to make that decision. He is not promoting the Gay lifestyle and that's it. Cheney is Gay tolerent because of his love for his daughter, so you have the ear of the President.

A poll from UCLA said 83 percent of the people are considering themself religous and they pray. Gays are a small percentage, and can't expect to win a popular vote countrywide, get over it. Until you rewrite the bible, the Christians are armed with all they want to know about the subject.

Most of it anyway. It was pretty fair. Hardly portrayed Rove as the monster the liberals would make him out to be. A very savvy political operative who knows how to play hardball. The Democrats have such too.

I agree it was fair, and quite interesting. (I still think the McCain attack was way over the top.)

The series is associated with the Washington Post, so at times the "liberal media" can be fair. Happy
