Values

Reports indicate that people voted for Kerry if they were concerned about the war in Iraq and for Bush if they were concerned about "values", as if these were mutually exclusive. I wonder what happened to values that Jesus preached about......truth, "love your neighbor as yourself", mercy and tolerance. The Bible lists the "fruits of the spirit" as love, joy, peace, mildness, goodness, kindness, and self control. Since they profess to be "Christ like" why are they not concerned with these values?
