Voter attitudes

[andrewducker]

Take a look at this BBC piece on voter attitudes.

Notice how Kerry voters care about the economy, but not about "moral values".  Notice how the Bush voters feel exactly the opposite.

Notice how church attenders voted Bush, but atheists voted Kerry.

How Country voted Bush, but City voted Kerry

Democrats also ran strongly among unmarried and young people, families with incomes under $30,000 a year, and among the highly educated.

The only way to solve this is to make people divorce, get younger and get poorer.

Or....educate them.

I care a lot about moral values. But mine don't match what Christian fundamentalists often call "moral values". And if I were asked about it in a poll like that, I would be suffienciently uncertain about what was really meant, to want to answer... So I might answer that I don't care much about moral values, even though I do.

(((sufficiently!))) (suhfishently)

in other words, I think it's morally wrong to go to war for personal gain, and to deny people equal rights based on their sexual preferences, etc.
