Conservatives are just a gang of bullies in this polemic by the author of What's the Matter with Kansas? The volume stars jailed lobbyist Jack Abramoff, with a supporting cast that includes Grover Norquist and Tom DeLay. It explains how cynical conservatives have wrested control of the government by railing against its very existence, all while using federal perches to funnel billions into the pockets of lobbyists and the corporations they represent.

Bush, the mega-author made no secret of his preference. Two weeks before the election, he sent an e-mail to the several hundred thousand pastors on his mailing list, enumerating "non-negotiable" issues for Christians to consider when casting their votes: abortion, stem-cell research, gay marriage, euthanasia and human cloning.
