My husband, who used to be Republican, then went Libertarian, and now, for the 1st time in his very active political life, will actually be voting for a Democrat had this to say:
"Republicans believe they are fighting a war of morality against the Left. They believe the Left is the undoing of society, will cause chaos, bring the second coming, etc, etc, etc. Even for those Republicans that aren't religious, fighting the Left is a moral war. That's why you hear them go on and on about the Left/Liberal media. That's why they can, in good conscience, slag off Kerry's war record when both of their candidates got easy assignments or deferrals from serving entirely. It's justified because this is a WAR."
Basically. That's not verbatim, but it's close.
What a great topic, though. I'm following it intently.
