MORALS MATTERED

It early the morning of Wednesday, November the 3rd, and the media still refuses to declare President Bush has won reelection. Despite their biases, the internals of the election are providing some interesting insights into what motivated voters to turn out in such large numbers.

The number one issue that moved voters to go to their polls was moral issue. Moral issues like same-sex marriage, abortion, and embryonic stem cell research were declared by voters in the exit polls to be more important that the economy and terrorism. ABCNews just credited the margin to the huge turnout of black and white evangelical Christians voting their values. Remarkably, the voters in each of the 10 states that had one man-one woman marriage amendments on the ballots passed those issues overwhelmingly.

Praise God! It has been the prayer of many of us that the huge sleeping giant of the evangelical church has been awakened at last. Now we need to leverage the influence we have earned in the Republican party into real legislative action that will reverse the damages to our culture for nearly half a century of liberal political activism.

God heard our prayers!
