I have tried to get that across to some Christians as well as the liberals.
Moral values? Honesty, courage, love of country, loyalty, perseverance all of these are moral values. George W. Bush has these moral values and this adds up not to a perfect man but one that you can trust to do the best he can to lead the country and lead it well.
With Kerry you got the impression of a little hollow man. One that would run for the hills the first time things got bumpy. You knew his moral values, they all boiled down to save his own skin. You had seen that face before. If you were very unlucky you at one point were married to it. Some times you have worked for it. If push ever came to shove it was going to let you down.
You have hit on it: The only "moral value" Kerry lost on was his own belief that what's good for John F. Kerry is what's truly right and good.
