It's their new matra, their desperate effort to continue to try to define the war as a failure.
But the election's single most important issue really was the war, and our objection to the way the media had twisted it and undermined it.
We knew the media had twisted its reporting because we all had our loved ones involved in the fight and from them we heard news we could trust and uses as a baseline for deciding for ourselves how the war was going.
The rejection of Hollyweird values was a part of it, but then, moral issues also applies to matters of war and peace, terrorism and so on. To a conservative, everything relates to moral issues. The term covers a broad range of ideas, depending on who you're talking to and when you talk to them. Some may think of the defense of marriage when asked, while others' first concern is defense of religious liberty in a war against Islamic zealots, and still others are concerned about integrity in business.
Your intellectually facile comments betray an agenda, and are not worthy of FR commentary.
Moral issues means moral issues means moral issues. Every true conservative worth his salt knows what that means.
Period. End of discussion.
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.
