A brilliant observation.
As usual my man Krauthammer hit it on the head.By choosing the category 'Moral Values', in a multiple choice questionnaire the respondents were actually saying that they refused to be lead or slammed by the pollsters bias. It's in the nature of polling that the questions have to be designed to yield some pre-concieved value. I know when confronted with most forms I always want to respond N/A. I guess then 'Moral Values' actually means (buzzer) None of the Above. Or maybe as the Great Sage Peter Jennings put it in '94: The Voter's had a Tantrum! Little did he know...
I always like the bottom line...hahahahaha!

Kruat rules! I'm sick of the media talking about "moral values" mockingly, and saying that Bush won by saying that Dems are baby-killers.... He went up in EVERY CATEGORY except single women, a category that no one ever expects to change.
Another punch in the fight over the phrase 'moral values'. On the one hand the fight is over what is meant by 'moral values', on the other it seems to be a horror over the use of the phrase by BOTH sides. Why is this? The whole purpose of the 'moral values' attack by the Left is too make everyone wary of the phrase--else its use draws leftist ire. The only thing the whole article does is play directly into the hands of those who have basically said "I'm going to fight the very notion of 'moral values' as having political power at all and my first weapon in doing so is to make a straw man of what it is and attack those who I say are that supposed reality." Now here this guy is, a victim of that lie and running away from moral values as having the very real political punch it has already demonstrated in the hopes of doing away with the phrase as his enemies use it and by doing away with the phrase, supposedly taking power from them. He stabs himself (and all those who know what real moral values are) in an attempt to merely blunt an attack by his enemies. He explains everything in his own mind in such a way as he cannot be attacked. He does not realize they do not attack out of any legitimate issue, they just attack. It is who and what they are. They won't stop merely because he apologizes for their mis-understanding for them by re-arranging polls and questions in such a way as to sidestep the onslaught.
Oh, gawd, another conservative ruining a perfectly good lib'ral myth with facts...;^)
I'm very comfortable with the dems believing it was religion that brought out the vote. Now they're either condemning people of faith or insulting them with their born-again act (Nancy Pelosi). Who told the dems it would be a good idea to insult 80%+ of the nation and expect to win elections? Whoever it was, give that man a cee-gar!
Let them keep thinking we are bigoted Christian rednecks, it will only further their decline.
