A conservative moron. Well, I don't think I'd be braggin about that.<g>
Arguments ad hominem don't do anyone any good. Of course I could always nuke you with the response, no you're a moron! Are you saying you voted for Bush?

You must have read a different article. He didn't say it wasn't a top reason, he said it wasn't THE top reason. You missed it. He was saying it was more complex than just morals.

From the article:
"Moral values" encompass abortion, gay marriage, Hollywood's influence, the general coarsening of the culture and, for some, the morality of preemptive war. The way to logically pit this class of issues against the others would be to pit it against other classes: "war issues" or "foreign policy issues" (Iraq plus terrorism) and "economic issues" (jobs, taxes, health care, etc).

It also encompasses other things that he didn't enumerate. It's about how you feel about the person. Do you trust him? I trust Bush to do what he says he will do, or at least attempt to do so. I trust Kerry to waffle on every issue, take a poll, etc etc etc.
