1. The "morals vote" statistic came from exit polls...

...which the corporate media whores tell us were WRONG about Kerry.

NGU.

3. That doesn't make sense for the exit polls data...

That "moral values" would be the #1 issue, and that Kerry would be the #1 person being voted for at the time? The data doesn't jive. (since we know that "moral values" is codespeak for religion)

4. That's a good point...

... and not something that over/under sampling christians would explain away.

It just makes no sense.

2. They make shit up

and they stole the election.

Nothing to see here....move along.

5. some moral values

Yes, very moral administration. Preemptive war with an estimated 100,000 dead free Iraqis. Tax cuts for the rich. Torture in the name of America. Lies to justify war. Screw the environment, turn in your own CIA operatives. Too many moral things to list.

6. Many christian voters have s a fairly loose definintion of morality

... so it seems.
