It's about the moral values, Stupid!

Moral values made an appearance in the election, big time. Nationally, it was the issue in the campaign. 20 % of those who voted, cited it as their #1 issue. And 80% of them voted for George Bush. That's a 17+ million vote differential between the two candidates.

The press didn't see the issue during the campaign coming. They seem to have missed it completely, one of the most imporatant issues in the presidential campaign. Many critics will say they buried it. I think they really missed it. In fact, they wouldn't recognize it if it kissed them on the mounth. Mea culpas by the press ensued in the days following.

The press is supposedly unbiased. But apparently they're just oblivious to their own bias. They are incapable of seeing what was before them because they don't know what to look for.

I, like the media, am a product of the liberal education establishment in this country. They do a good job of rescrambling the brain to make you see the world in certain ways. I remember getting the United Nation indoctrination, about the same time Bill Clinton was getting inducted into the Trilateral Commission.

But the Republicans do know what to look for. They exceeded turning out their base target by 30%. But this alone doesn't make up for 17+ million more votes. It appears therefore that moral values mean something to democratic voters as well.

We forget most American's didn't go to elite northeast liberal colleges. And some of those who did, were content with just drinking while there. Thank God!
