A poorly devised exit poll question and a dose of spin are threatening to undermine our understanding of the 2004 presidential election...at last someone is catching on - these ratings on what people were voting on apparently came from the "juiced up" exit polls which were way off the mark as to who actually won the election - they did not represent the real makeup of the voting public, and they probably do not represent accurately the views of that public - a good thing for the 'rats - when "moral values" finally do become a dominant factor in why people vote, the party of Teddy Jo Kennedy, Bill Monica Clinton, and John Ho Chi Minh Kerry will really be finished......

Yes. Exit polling is the next inportant issue for Congress when they return from recess.

I'm sorry, but that FIRST LINE got me! (yes, I'll go back and read the rest) HOLY SCHMOKES NY TIMES! You guys don't understand SPIT! "threatening to undermine our understanding"? I think you will not understand all the way to the unemployment line! You STILL don't get it! WE ARE TIRED OF YOUR SPIN AND YOUR LIES! Try some real journalism once in awhile. You might even get some enjoyment from living in the real world.

It has been so darn comical all week, after the election, won by our great president. The "Talking Heads", at all the major TV and News stations, have been so non-plussed and worried over the reason America went "red" on election day.

You and I, know why America went "red". And, we certainly, are not going to tell the MSM or the Democrats/Liberals about it.
Let them ponder and figure how they can become "one of the bible reading, rural etcetera ......"

While morals and values are critical in informing political judgments, they represent personal characteristics far more than a discrete political issue. Conflating the two distorts the story of Tuesday's election.

Sorry, but morals and values are the basis of this election. The lack of such in the '90's led to this day as surely as water flows down hill.

Statesmen...may plan and speculate for liberty, but it is religion and morality alone, which can establish the principles upon which freedom can securely stand. The only foundation of a free constitution is pure virtue.
-- John Adams

Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.
John Jay, letter to Jedidiah Morse 28 Feb 1797

The left is promoting a contest on the issues of "values" and "morals" so as to avoid the word "reason".

They think that they can promote "reason" as conforming to their instructions if they can define "morals/values" as that which is the antithesis of reason.

Here's my question -- since the exit polls showed a Kerry landslide, why should we believe anything they say?
