Are the Tables turning against Bush

One of the contradictory things concerning Christianity and politics in the US is that, whilst there is a definite seperation between church and state, some churches, church ministers, and Christian groups, align themsleves more to partisan elements in the american political system compared to the UK, where there are definite tie-in's between church and state with regards to the Anglican Church.
That political bias within certain movements has benefited a no of US Presidents, not least President Bush who has alluded much to his Christian faith. He has also had support from a no of evangelical and fundamentalist Christians (although not all of them), over Foreign affairs issues such as Iraq and Afghanistan.
But that popularity may be slipping, as recent reports suggest that the Right are becoming disenchanted with President Bush , not least among some Christians in his home state of Texas, where there is some disenchantment with his role in the Iraq War

There are some lessons for us all here. It's very easy for example, for a non-political Christian group to support a particular candidate or Party simply because he or she is "sound" on various issues, be it abortion, gay marriage, war, money etc.. whether he or she or they are from the left or right. This is dangerous as it doesn't properly take into account the large raft of issues that secular groups and candidates fight for, so for the 60% of policies you may agree with there are likely to be some policies in the 40% which you will find offensive to your consience and/or faith.
It's difficult, but Christian groups that are not created to be partisan (as I think groups specificually for Christians within political parties are different) and Churches, have to be very careful and must do all they can not to get into an arena of bias towards a particular candidate and/or party. Such moves can damage the chance for some to hear the message of the gospel, and can give a false image of perfection towards the candidate/party they are backing. In short, such groups are wise to appreciate that it is important to be involved in politics, but they should know that such moves are risky and involve a crash course in ballet dancing
