Recent polls and exit polls continue to show that a solid majority of Americans identify themselves with conservative values. A recent NBC poll indicated that more than 80% believe that God belongs in public life and discourse. Why, then, did the Democratic candidate, espousing radical views, such as support for infanticide and associations with hate-America types, win the election? Answer: 1. getting and keeping a good job is the most important single force in the lives of most people, if they do not feel threatened by external forces, and 2. strong conservatives did not accept John McCain as a conservative and stayed home.

Ummm then they need to vote those values.

Answer: because most Americans are sadly stupid. Exceptionally stupid, that is.

The reason why Obama won is pretty simple, he promised big tax cuts to 95% of the taxpayers.

Indeed, any questioning of this plank was considered a “smear” against the candidate.

Obama won by going to the right of McCain who really didn’t offer such a precise promise of tax relief.

That's democracy for you. A system whereby 51% of the people can vote themselves the right to piss in the soup of the other 49%.

As Winston Churchill said, "...it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time."
