Take a Number

US evangelicals warn Republicans

At a news conference in Washington, some of America’s most influential conservative leaders said the current perception among evangelical Christians was that the Republican majority was not doing enough for them.

Join the club. As far as I can tell, he’s not doing enough for anyone. And when he does stuff, he seems to screw it up. So, I guess it’s debatable whether we really want him to do anything.

But let me add: what a bunch of whiners. They got their president and still whining.

In other news, I thought this article, though critical of Bush and conservatives, was a fair commentary on criticism about who has the ideas that will improve the country. Republicans lately cast themselves as a party of ideas, while criticising Democrats for a lack of ideas. Chait points out that it is political power, not ideas, that translate into action and change.
