Bush won in a landslide amoung the intolerant types - those who use their religion to hate others and deny them civil rights. Yesterday, gay marriage as >banned in 10 (maybe 11) states. These from the same folks who have a 50% divorce rate and are concerned about preserving the "sanctity" of marriage. The same folks who opposed the Civil Rights Act, the Equal Rights Amendment and other equalities. > George, You're misinformed. The CRA passed because of Republicans and in spite of the Democrats.. According to the Congressional Quarterly, 82% of Senate Republicans voted for it, while only 69% of Democrats did. In the House, 80% of Republicans voted for it and only 61% of Democrats did. Al Gore Sr., the father of that great Democrat candidate for president, opposed the CRA. Charlton Heston, a very conservative Republican, marched with blacks in Selma to support the Civil Rights Movement. Those intolerant Democrats! :-) Peter D'Souza
