A TV documentary focused on Bush's candidacy being promoted from the pulpit-Bush seems to be a ruthless politician-but he seems to be paying the price now.

No, Pelosi filling the "troop funding" bill with over 2 BILLION in pork is an example of buying votes.
"TODAY THE House of Representatives is due to vote on a bill that would grant $25 million to spinach farmers in California. The legislation would also appropriate $75 million for peanut storage in Georgia and $15 million to protect Louisiana rice fields from saltwater. More substantially, there is $120 million for shrimp and menhaden fishermen, $250 million for milk subsidies, $500 million for wildfire suppression and $1.3 billion to build levees in New Orleans."

Probably, and from what I've heard it is completely hypocritical - they are "playing" to the religious right to get their votes, and couldn't really care less about what they really think. I also think it is illegal, and unconstitutional, and will probably end after a Supreme Court challenge gets to hear a case about its constitutionality. To those who woulld argue that it blocks funding I say nonsense - the funds can be release to non-religious organizations just as easily as religious ones. And if I start a Satanic church, can I get funding to feed the hungry? Are any Muslim organizations getting any funding? Buddhists? I doubt it - this is a blatant attempt at controlling money to get more political power for the right, and it is immoral. The funds should go to those who need it regardless of religious affiliation. Anything less is a form of religious discrimination.

No, it was so churches would help the poor instead of welfare which would take way more of your tax dollars. demon crats would rather tax you bigtime.

Why would he have to buy votes when he has proven to be quite adept at stealing them?
