This is what is wrong with this country

From CNN:

As of around 11 a.m., about 140 people had turned out to vote in the Seven Oaks precinct of Lexington County, South Carolina. Some of them, however, complained about phone calls earlier in the week from campaigns.

"It's a little much," said Kay Burns, who said she voted for Sen. John McCain of Arizona because "I like what he stands for."

Others said they voted for Huckabee.

"I like the fact he's a Christian," said voter Stacee Groome.

Kay Burns' husband, Ellus, said he voted for former Sen. Fred Thompson of Tennessee because of his "presentation, maturity and Reaganism." Burns said the most important issues for him are the economy and international relations.

Anybody guess what's wrong here? Everyone notes who they vote for because of their policies, issues, etc...

Except for good ol' Stacee Groome. She voted for Huckabee because he's a christian.

Well, I'm pretty sure, Stacee, that a lot of the GOP candidates are too.

But if that's the reason why you voted for Huck, I guess I could assume that you'd vote for Hitler, if he came out on Tv and said "Hey, I'm a Christian".

Damn, can people just vote for candidates because they have good policies, and issues, and not because "I like him".

Because the last time that happened, we got Bush for 8 years.
