Lots of us are no longer willing to accept the coalition of the real "conservatives" and the religious moral police, because, frankly, aside from a few tax cuts, it's really only paid off for the moral police. While "we" have been winning elections because of the partnership, the wins have been, for a large part, empty wins for the more libertarian among us. I don't give a flying phock if gays marry - I just don't want them to pay higher taxes when they do.

Oddly enough, the moral conservatives seem to think they got the short end of the stick. Lots of lip service, but Bush has spent his political capital on tax cuts instead of banning abortion, or so they say.
