In "Friends of God," audiences are taken on a road trip across the southern, midwestern and western United States, meeting parishioners in churches, kids at Christian concerts, a comedian for Jesus, a man who builds Holy crosses, and even audiences at a Christian professional wrestling match.

What emerges is an outsider's look at people who deeply believe abortion is wrong, gay marriage is bad and teaching evolution in public schools goes against the word of God.

Pelosi is a writer, director, camera operator and producer, which was her style on "Journeys with George" and her 2004 "Diary of a Political Tourist," which looked at that year's Democratic presidential candidates.

In 2004, of course, Bush was re-elected, again with overwhelming support of the evangelical movement.

"You can say what you want about the evangelicals, but in the end you have to respect these people because they are so (politically) organized and so mobilized," she said. "I did come away with a profound respect for that."

"Friends of God" debuts on HBO on January 25.

Sure to be a hack job. I don't know why anyone would even talk to this little commiebabe.

Have you even seen her documentary on Bush? It actually portrayed him a better light than many other pieces done on him.
Come to think of it, do you even consider reality before you form your opinion? Or do you just form an opinion then insist reality conform to it after the fact?

She's credited with getting Bush elected.

Now that IS absurd.

Now that IS absurd.

Yeah, doesn't fit your world view at all, does it...

Note this, from the article:
Pastor Ted Haggard opened his door to Pelosi and welcomed her. It was a perfect entry point because at that time Haggard headed the 30-million member National Association of Evangelicals from his church in Colorado.

Then, in November, only days after the documentary filmmaker handed her work over to HBO to prepare for TV, Haggard made headlines when claims of his drug use and having sex with a male prostitute led to his disgrace and his downfall.

Haggard's dilemma presented Pelosi with her second big problem. Because she uses Haggard extensively and because she felt obliged to her audience to acknowledge the charges against Haggard, "Friends of God" could be viewed as an attack on the Christian right. It is the last thing Pelosi wanted.

"I think the evangelicals will pre-judge the project. I hope they won't, but I assume they will," she said.
She added that if that is the case, it "is unfortunate because I think a lot of them look great."

Not to intervene, but how does that support your statement that she is credited with getting Bush re-elected? Credited by whom?
