This also shows that nearly 1/4 of the population thinks that preventing gay marriage is more important than the illegal invasion of sovereign nations
Actually, the percentage is higher than 22%. Because 22% is only the number that ranked moral values 1st. There are probably many more that ranked moral values as 2nd or 3rd and ranked Iraq even lower. :-(
What I find most disturbing is that the exit polls showed that 52% of Bush voters think that gay couples should have no legal recognition. 37% of Bush voters are in favour of same-sex civil unions, and only 11% of Bush voters are in favour of gay marriage. Since it was over half of his voters that said no legal representation, he may go with that rather than what he promised.
Meanwhile 23% of those who chose to identify themselves as gays, lesbians, and bisexuals on the exit poll voted for Bush. I don't understand.
