The Bush-Cheney campaign is based largely on fear-mongering with regard to terrorism. But like any good business, they're trying to diversify in other areas.
For example, the Republican National Committee is accused of sending out mail to West Virginians warning that liberals will ban Bibles if elected in November.
The Republican National Committee Chairman, shock of shocks, said he knew nothing of the mailing.
The mailing is hardly surprising "We represent good, decent American values unlike those hedonistic heretics on the other side" is a standard Republican theme. Trying to convince religious people that Christians are a horrifically persecuted population menaced by atheists and merchants of tolerance (and related sins) is merely an extension of that strategy.
They need to rev up the theocracy brigade. Convincing the fundamentalists Christians, who represent at least 40% of the population, that they'll be martyred out of existence if the wrong guys get elected is a great way to get them to the polls.
