From today's New York Times:

Headline: Conservative Christians Criticize Republicans

First paragraph: "Some of President Bush's most influential conservative Christian allies are becoming openly critical of the White House and Republicans in Congress, warning that they will withhold their support in the midterm elections unless Congress does more to oppose same-sex marriage, obscenity and abortion."

My thought: Congress can do MORE for these people? Oh, right. It can outlaw abortion, make cussin' illegal, and declare homosexuality a crime. Go to it, guys. Let's see in November just how big the "base" really is. And, at the same time, just how base.
