Moral Majority?
Does anyone else find it ironic that "moral" issues (meaning abortion and gay marriage) were the most important issue to nearly 25 percent of voters (who almost all voted for President Bush) even though those are issues than truly impact less than one person (those who would get abortions and would consider having a gay marriage) of Americans?
Is the preservation of civil liberties a moral issue? Apparently not in 2004 for a majority of Americans.

While I find it especially reprehensible that "morality" has become synonymous with homophobia in the minds of these idiots, I find their attitude to life and death even more curious. Abortionists should be executed, says the new senator from Oklahoma. But it seems to be OK to execute or torture any criminal you want, from children to the mentally retarded. And it's completely beyond me how George Bush's murdering 100,000 Iraqis makes him morally upstanding. Morally corrupt, more like. I've never been happier to be living outside the US.
John,
Have you read my post from yesterday? I ranted on much the same issue, though in more general terms. I am so sick and tired of their hipocracy. I just don't get how so many people can be so blind.
AAAAAAH!!! Frustration.
The whole thing totally makes me sick. That anyone can call themselves moral and religious while condemning others is beyond me. What really gets me is that they're all about Bush's 'moral' stance as if John Kerry was some kind of heathen. Kerry is very religious and a devout Catholic. And if I understand correctly, he doesn't support abortion or gay marriage either, he's just intelligent enough to not try to impose his personal views onto the rest of the world. You're right, people that voted for Bush because of his morals were really voting for the abolition of of the separation of church and state. And that is scary.
