What have you done for me lately ever?
Daily Kos' DHinMI has the best analysis of the day, asking what social conservatives have gotten in return for their support of Republicans like George W. Bush. Highlight:

"Just look at the record. Since the early 1990's the Supreme Court has upheld both Roe v Wade and the use of affirmative action in college admissions, and it struck down state sodomy laws. More children attend day care than ever. More women work out of the home than ever, and most of them prefer to work out of the home even if it's not necessary for maintaining their standard of living. "Will and Grace" is mainstream, and "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" is on network television. The social conservatives' crusade against the teaching of evolution has had little success. And, like Kos, knowing that gay and lesbian couples are running down to the San Francisco City Hall to get married hasn't filled me or presumably anyone else with an unquenchable desire to run down to the local courthouse and file for divorce."

My question: if we have to deal with a Ralph Nader independent candidacy, can we pray for a Gary Bauer run as well? Whether God is Democrat or Republican, wouldn't she go for that?

{UPDATE: Or, better yet, let's hope God sends some smoke signals Judge Roy Moore's way!}
