As a personal note:
I voted against Bush, and I disagree with a large part of evangelical thinking, however, I think it's important to provide some reason to the discussion.
Yes, Christian evangelicals largely voted for Bush this election. Many other demographics did as well. 43% of people who are NOT white evangelical or born-again Christians voted for Bush, 52% of Catholics, 25% of Jews, 23% of other and 31% of none. Bush was not elected by only Christian evangelicals.
That aside, I think you are making a poor comparison of the morals these people espouse. One moral opinion of theirs which guided their votes was regarding abortion. Evangelical Christians believe abortion is the killing of a human being. Flipping off a camera is hardly a comparison. Another is their opposition to gay marriage. While, clearly, most people feel this is a matter of civil rights, evangelical Christians view gay marriages as a crime against nature. However wrong that may be, flipping off a camera is hardly something to be considered hypocrisy of that viewpoint.
