piasa nailed it in post #29.

The exit polls were off, as we all know, but that is not going to stop the MSM from labeling W's victory as the act of a bunch of right-wing zelots. Even assuming the polls were accurate and moral values were the #1 priority (22%) for those who voted for the President, then the #1 issue for 78% of his supporters was other things, such as the war on terror, economy, etc.

Careful folks, or we may allow the Libs and the MSM to paint us as nothing more than "evangelical idiots" who don't understand things like economics and foreign affairs or, for that matter, any of the "important" functions of a government, instead of the people that we really are. Those who have rejected their radical liberal ideals which includes their lack moral values.

How do you reconcile these two concepts?

The left, he and others argue, has to show the religious basis for its policy positions

The Rev. Barry Lynn of Americans United for Separation of Church and State put it more starkly. "The culture war may go nuclear," he said, as "millions of Americans oppose the theocratic agenda of the Religious Right."

How is it acceptable to have liberal policy positions based on religious views, but not have conservative positions based on them?
