We're ALL Values Voters ... and we ALL vote our values!
I'm not a big fan of George Will's but he's one of the few on the Right who hasn't gone totally insane. I read this quote from an interview he did with George Stephanopolis and I had to laugh. All I could think of was the old adage, "It takes a genius to state the obvious."
George Will: "Social conservatives should grow up. If they want to rally around somebody, why don’t try that? Huckabee needs support and money now. If the social conservatives are half as important as they think they are, they would rally around one of these people [..] And then decide what you care about. If you care about judges, then you’re gonna get satisfied by Giuliani, then get in line and play politics. But there’s a vanity in this group right now. They call themselves “values voters.” I’ve news for them: 100% of the American electorate are values voters; they vote their values … And this, this, kind of semantic imperialism that they have where they say “we vote values”. Everyone else votes what?"
