Becker Intro

Very early in the introduction, Becker talks about the role that the issue of "moral values" played in the reelection of George W. Bush in 2004. He brings up a very good point, and I was just wondering if any of you have you ever noticed the discrepancy between who votes for the GOP and who that party's economic policies directly benefit?

- I doubt that the majority of them have ever even considered this fact, which further legitimizes Becker's assertion about their fears and political priorities.

There are quotes by Jon Stewart and Becker himself concerning the "culture wars" at play in this debate.

- What, in your opinion, are they referring to?

- Do you think that this plays a big role in politics, and society as a whole?
