Mr. Wilson's remarks are a little naive.
To say that Mr. Kerry opposed homosexual marriage is to take some of his comments at face value, ignore some other of his comments, and ignore entirely all his actions.
To say that abortion was not an issue is sort of partly true enough to sound good, but false enough to make the statement, as a whole, altogether untrue. Was abortion uppermost in every mind? No. Was abortion a significant issue for a large minority of voters? Absolutely. And what was the net effect of that? Each candidate gained some and lost some for his position on abortion, but the numbers I've seen show that President Bush gained more than he lost for his pro-life position.
This appears to be the case in most elections in most parts of the country.
Indeed, one can fairly say that President Bush's positions on moral issues, contrasted to Mr. Kerry's, were likely the positions that made that crucial 3% difference on Tuesday.
Wilson is one of the "Uriah Heeps" out there plotting and planning to co-opt the 2004 conservative victory for their own secret agendas.
The Uriah Heeps of the world would manhandle the social conservative victory----and dilute the presidential mandate conferred by proto-conservatives----for their own self-serving agendas.
The Uriah Heeps could care less for the rights of the unborn and the restoration of conservative values to our Nation-----the proto-conservative issues that drove millions of Christians to the polls.
The agenda-laden, elliptical thinkers lurk in the shadows plotting ways to take over conservative victories. It ain't gonna happen.
Any mucking up of our hard-won conservative victory will be met with fierce resistance.
Moral issues were this election's key to victory, and moral issues will set the agenda.
Every card-carrying conservative worth his/her salt knows what "moral issues" means.
Karl Rove knew where to get the "values voters" to give Bush the majorities he needed to win. Rove is not the only one who knows where they are.
You have to wonder who is goading Wilson to make these comments, although I'd gladly wager a guess, and I would be right.
