motherhood, politics, faith & whatnot

Here I sit after lunch on the sofa.
Quiet. Ahhhh.
The boys are napping, hopefully.

Is there a shift, finally?
New book coming out, Tempting Faith.
Authored by David Kuo who was a part of Bush’ Office of faith-based initiative.
Says that Rove and other referred to the evangelicals as “nuts.” Yet they courted them for their votes. They’ve been used.

Another semi-quote — Bush might just be a good guy whose faith is authentic, but the assumption that he’s not going to break his word, hide his mistakes, spin the truth, i.e. do like other politicians do, would be wrong.

This is what I think that maybe I haven’t been grasping. The strong supporters of Bush think that he’s really above doing all this stuff because of faith, and can’t see that he’s a politician just like the rest of them. They have been duped. It’s kind of evil how they’ve been taken advantage of. Rove isn’t even one of them. I think I’d be suspicious of that myself.
