Christian Leader Turns on Bush

Check out the article in the Guardian Unlimited today about how Bush’s supposed allies are beginning to turn on his ass.

In an interview with CNN, Pat Robertson, the founder of the Christian Coalition, said that George W. Bush had blatantly brushed off the idea of U.S. casualties from a war in Iraq. Robertson says he had a conversation with Bush prior to the war:

"I warned him about this war. I had deep misgivings about this war, deep misgivings. And I was trying to say, 'Mr President, you had better prepare the American people for casualties,'". Robertson stated that Bush had replied: "Oh, no, we're not going to have any casualties."

Should we be surprised?

Although Robertson had always had apprehension about the war, speaking out publicly in this way may seriously screw Bush’s expectations of the evangelical Christians’ vote.

Six relatives of Bush have also created a website, BushRelativesForKerry.com. They also accuse Bush of failing to live up to Christian values. “Because blood is thinner than oil.” it says on the homepage. “Please don’t vote for our cousin.” Awesome.
