There are three things most of America is concerned with - God, Guns, and Gays. Bush and Co was extremely smart in how they played it - so smart in fact that I believed some of their actions were going to cost them the election. When Bush introduced the amendment to ban gay marriage he knew it wouldnt pass, but what he did do was rally his base in conservative states. Those religious people upset that an amendment would be such an impossibility in controlling gay marriage had a different option - vote to ban gay marriage by state. And wouldnt you know it, the measure against gay marriage was on 11 ballots - 2 in very close swing states. Thats what gave Bush the popular vote, and thats what gave him Ohio. People registered just to vote against gay marriage, and while at the polls would then cast a vote for Bush too.
So in a very long answer...whats wrong with this country? Whats wrong is people refuse to seperate their politics from their religion. Most of america literally looks to the bible for instruction on how to live their everyday life - Bush does this...Kerry doesnt, and people like the person that is most like them.
