*WHICH* Values?

    The Washington Post has an article about the whole "Values" issue that Kerry supposedly lost in the election, last week.  The article notes an exit survey that questioned people on which values Americans are most concerned about:
    Battling the notion that "values voters" swept President Bush to victory because of opposition to gay marriage and abortion, three liberal groups released a post-election poll in which 33 percent of voters said the nation's most urgent moral problem was "greed and materialism" and 31 percent said it was "poverty and economic justice." Sixteen percent cited abortion, and 12 percent named same-sex marriage.
 
    I don't know anything about their sampling base & methods, but this is certainly is a question to ask in these dark times.  Do people really think that Bush is going to be better at addressing "greed and materialism" than Kerry?  Or "Poverty & Economic Justice"? 
   
    I keep hearing about how the Democrats are out of touch with mainstream voters.  Are these people really trying to tell me that Americans are opposed to the values noted, above?  Are Americans really that Evil?  Not most of the ones I know.  Sure, I know a couple who are evil, who doesn't?  ;-)
 
    I know this is the first entry I've posted since the election.  Honestly, I'm still stunned.  I'm one of those who just can't figure out how Americans voted for Bush's values of greed, arrogance, and ignorance.
