What amazes me with so many people is you are faced with so much shit that can affect all of you, yet you are concerned about abortions?!
Religion and politics don't mix.
Very good point.
What Karl Rove managed to do was to convince a large amount of the working class that moral issues were more important than economy, foreign policy, employment and health care.
Ie, when George W Bush won it was important that abortion was made illegal, gun laws were kept liberal and that schools were allowed to teach that the earth is 6 000 years old.
More so than that the economy were doing good.
How many times were the national economy an issue when Bush ran for re-election?
Karl Rove managed to set the issues brilliant.
The question is whether those moral issues really are more important than the economy of a nation, employment numbers, level of education, infrastructure, et al.
Looking at the mess in New Orleans after Katrina and how roads and bridges are falling apart shows that perhaps infrastructure is important.
And other issues are as well.
Oil dependancy?
