Defining Moral Values
The Christian Science Monitor reports on a new GQR poll for PBS's Religion & Ethics Newsweekly:

Poll: Americans more accepting

This survey may solve the mystery as to what voters had in mind during the November 2004 presidential election when, in an exit poll, 22 percent cited "moral values" as their greatest concern. In the recent survey, 18 percent again choose "moral values" as their prime concern, but the largest proportion (36 percent) define them in terms of personal values, such as honesty and responsibility. Only 10 percent emphasize social issues like abortion.

It wasn’t people worried about moral values who put George Bush so close to being elected in 2004 that he could steal another election, it was white people who believed the administration’s lies about the Iraq War thanks to right-wing media outlets such as Fox News. See “And the Winner Is… Fox News Channel!

1. Um...it had nothing to do with moral values.
It had everything to do with electronic voting machines.

Until we get our voting system back, they can CLAIM it was anything they want.
