What Are These "Southern Values" Bush Talks About
Yesterday in North Carolina, Bush expressed confidence in carrying the southern states in the 2004 U.S. presidential election. The president said that when voters "go to the polls to vote for president they will understand that the senator from Massachusetts (Kerry) doesn’t share their values."
I'm curious. Just what are these values that are so different from the rest of the country? I was born and raised and have lived in the south my entire life. I can't think of any values we have here that are different from the rest of the country.
This is just typical of the conservative mindset. They have to have someone who is the enemy. There has to be someone you can't trust. There's got to be somebody against you.

Seems to me that both parties have the same affliction.
The very essense of our current two party system is conflict of viewpoints and lambasting the other side without either one ever admitting fault.
I, for one, loathe this fact.. but at least I see it as a shortcoming of both sides - not just "the conservative mindset".
Amen Dennis. The Conservative wing has grown dependent on using fear to motivate people. Fear weapons of mass destruction. Gay marriage will destroy the earth. Terror alerts without specifics...etc, etc...ad nauseum. I'm tired of being told of what to be afraid of. I value a politician who gives me a solution instead of telling me what to be afraid of. We've been so busy being afraid of things we haven't been watching the big boys rob us blind. That's the values they're talking about. I trust Bush's values even less than I trusted Clinton's.
