Ok, that's what we predicted. I will explain why right after posting this news:
New York Times:
Exulting in their electoral victories, President Bush's conservative supporters immediately turned to staking out mandates for an ambitious agenda of long-cherished goals, including privatizing Social Security, banning same-sex marriage, remaking the Supreme Court and overturning the court's decisions in support of abortion rights.
"Now comes the revolution," Richard Viguerie, the dean of conservative direct mail, told about a dozen fellow movement stalwarts gathered around a television here, tallying up their Senate seats in the earliest hours of the morning. "If you don't implement a conservative agenda now, when do you?"
By midday, however, fights over the spoils had already begun, as conservatives debated the electorate's verdict on the war in Iraq, the Bush administration's spending and the administration's hearty embrace of traditionalist social causes.
Conservative Christians, both Protestant and Catholic, were first in line to stake their claims, citing polls showing that a plurality of Bush supporters named "moral values" as the most important issue and arguing that a drive to ban same-sex marriage boosted turnout in Ohio.
"Make no mistake - conservative Christians and 'values voters' won this election for George W. Bush and Republicans in Congress," Mr. Viguerie wrote in a memorandum sent to other prominent conservatives. "It's crucial that the Republican leadership not forget this - as much as some will try," he said, underlining the final clause.

Ok, there is two groups in GOP right now. One is old traditional Republicans/Conservatives and other is Fundamentalists/Neoconservatives. Old traditional republicans/conservatives does not want to deal with nonsense fundamentalism stuff and despise Bush and his 'Borrow and Spend' while fundamentalists/Neoconservatives practically bend themselves backward to be obsessed about so-called 'moral values' (severely restricted women's rights, anti-abortion, anti-gay, restricted genetic researches, enforce their religious on people, creationisms in science, Ten Commandments in school & government places, privatizing Social Security [means that deafies & senior citizens probably will not have any supports/services at all but hey, some of you vote for him and you deserve him] and more..) and modify constitution & laws to prevent any civil stuffs such as civil rights & civil lawsuits. Civil rights & lawsuits is our tool to voice our opinions, rights, freedom, etc... Anyway, Bush will have to make a choice to support either one... once he did, other side will get angry and slam him down. If he choose other one then other side will get angry and slam him down.
To sum up, there will be some kind of revolution between old traditional republicans/conservatives and fundamentalists/neoconservatives. Bush deserves it and he know it. That's one of many reasons why many old traditional republicans/conversatives decide to endorse Kerry but unfortunately that neoconversatives cheated ... again.
Suggest you to buy popcorns and some soda to drink, until that time then sit and enjoy the bittersweet moment between them which will be permanently effect this time. Also that's another reason why old traditional republicans/conservatives is delighted about Hillary Clinton or John Edwards being a president candidate for 2008 to solve Bush's massive problems.
