Not Christians, Nancy... religious extremists.

Oh, right. I see so many who post here making that distinction. Once they're called on it, of course.

We're a minority here, but certainly not overall, no. And there's a reason for that. Can you really write off the majority of Americans who not only voted for a Republican President but increased their senate majority? It would be more profitable to examine yourselves and figure out how you lost them, than further alienate them with elitist attitudes, if you ever want to win a presidential election.

Extremists can't change, on either side. That's part of what makes them extremist. But what many Democrats (and the media, for that matter) can't accept is that extremists did not elect W. The numbers don't bear that out. And on issues like gay marriage (to me, the most confounding issue of the election because Kerry's diehard supporters wanted to make it a reason to vote for him-- AND HE'S AGAINST IT), the votes weren't even close. 2 to 1, even 4 to 1 in some states. That's an awful lot of Kerry voters who fall right in line with their candidate's view on the issue, isn't it?
