No, I think "moral values" is a proxy for the Christian right. Their share of the electorate is almost identical to the "white evangelical/born again" (23%), and they voted for Bush in almost identical proportions. The phrase itself may be a bit of a floating signifier, but it mainly attaches to the fundies.
