I have been hear all these years an still cannot fathom American politics. Why is abortion such a big issue in choosing a president? I swear I have seen more relevant issues being discussed more intelligently in the political environs of so-called developing countries. Why is "Creationism" even brought up in the world's most developed country? Only in America, will people actually vote against somebody because he appears to be smart, thoughtful and articulate.
The only explanation I find is a quote I have mentioned on this blog before. "An immigrant's values stay frozen in the era they left their home country". America was founded by immigrants, poor religious people, who wanted to get away from the elite of their home countries and practice the conservative form of their religion. They are still stuck with their anti-elite, "our religion is under attack" and "a man has to be judged by the size of his balls" values that they came with.
