Well, they’re still at it. Supporters of John Kerry are still complaining about the results of the election, and some of them are now attacking Christians for causing Bush’s victory, citing the sudden desire for a more “moral” country as the reason Kerry lost.

I guess that makes them feel better.

They overlook the fact that there are plenty of Christians who voted for Kerry. There are plenty of Christians who aren’t entirely happy with the Republican party or President Bush.

They overlook the fact that there are plenty of heterosexual voters who really couldn’t care less whether gays have the right to get married or not; they have nothing against gay people and don’t mind if they have the same rights…it’s just that this one issue isn’t important enough to them to get them to the polls.

They overlook the fact that there are plenty of Christians who don’t believe it’s right to use abortion as the sole method of birth control, but who, at the same time, feel that they shouldn’t have the right to tell a woman what she can and can’t do with her body.

They overlook the fact that there are plenty of Christians who aren’t entirely happy with the way that the country has gone in the last four years, and who aren’t entirely convinced that going into Iraq was the right thing to do, whether they genuinely believed that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction at the time.

And they overlook the fact that this was John Kerry’s election to win and George W. Bush’s election to lose. I know of virtually no one who was entirely happy with George W. Bush’s administration: even those I know who supported him had things to complain about.

Why overlook all of these points? Why throw blame at the “evil” Christians? Because they don’t want to admit the fact that despite all of the country’s problems and all of the reasons to be unhappy with Bush, just over 50% of the country didn’t trust John Kerry enough — or feel that they understood his position well enough — to believe that he would make things better.

Whose fault is that?
