Look, the "mess" you describe is simply what politics has devolved to. This is the bread and butter of right wing politics;they are the masters of this type of thing. Bush relishes this when it comes to his political base:he gets his people to make calls to Christian Right groups (who don't speak for all Christians!) to drum up support for his initiatives.The problem is this: the sword cuts both ways. If you live by it, you'll die by, as Jesus so clearly stated. My issue is this:don't cry foul if other pressure groups opposed to you do the same thing as the ones you support, as if what they do is illegitimate. To Bush:be a man and play the game, and don't feign being a statesman and self-righteously above the fray when your ox is being gored, when you use ideological pressure groups to do your bidding.
