TJ - Pretty strange interpetation. I expect maybe 5-10% voted for GWB because they saw him in some theocratic light. Folks voted for Bush for five main reasons : 1) Becuase he would be change from the uncontroled liberalism of the Clinton administration. Example of Clinton appointee - en.wikipedia.org If you want to call opposing this "theocratic"... Many of the Democrats were seen as having a hostility to religon and/or faking their religous convictions. 2) For tax cuts and a smaller government. 3) For some kind of coherent foreign policy. Cruise missles into pharmaceutical plants (Sudan) did not seem very effective. Involment in Yugoslavia was and is debatable. The expectation was that his administration would be similar to his father's on foreign policy. 4) Al Gore precieved as an environmental extremist. 5) Al Gore precieved as tax and spend big government advocate. >>> i am talking about the folks who voted for bush even though he clearly is theocratic. enough of those folks did so because bush is theocratic, and many more did so without thinking about the meaning of theocracy and politics. <<<
