GOP Values Voters Presidential Debate; Sept. 17, 2007, 7:30 p.m., ET

The GOP Values Voters Presidential Debate

We've heard the questions from talking snowmen. We've gotten the crumbs that fell from Chris Matthews. Now it's our turn. It's time the candidates answer questions from the largest voting block in America: the values voters. Yes, the values voters.

A letter of invitation was sent June 4 from national pro-family leaders to both the Republican and Democrats running for president. While it seems everyone is clamoring for the same date, Sept. 17, the good news is that seven out of 10 of the Republican candidates have already confirmed their attendance to speak on that date to the most essential constituency: the values voters.

So far, six Republicans (Huckabee, Brownback, Hunter, Paul, Tancredo, and Cox) have rightly chosen to attend the event where they will hear from the base of their party.

Mark the date! September 17 at 7:30 p.m. Eastern. The Values Voter Presidential Debate held in Fort Lauderdale will be streamed live by the American Family Association. What makes this debate different? The candidates will be asked questions related to abortion, immigration, marriage and other issues Values Voters consider important. If you want to see where they stand on the traditional, pro-family issues, don't miss this debate. Live video or audio streaming can be found at www.afa.net on the day of the debate.

Where's them other guys?

[gidget7]

If you got the email, I probably will too. Should have a link. Thanks for letting us know Sun!

“May need a reminder that day. :-)”

Mark your calendar right now, and that’s an order. :)

[Old_Mil]

It’s interesting to see who will be there...and who won’t.

[Sun]

“Where’s them other guys?”

Yeah, I wonder if they’ll come through.

[Sun]

You’re welcome. It sounds like fun.

[bahblahbah]

Couldn’t they have found a different group to sponsor this thing. I’m pro-life and against gay marriage and I think the AFA is way idiotic reactionaries. I remember when they tried to go after amazon.com all over their affiliate program when they didn’t descriminate against gays. jeesh...

[Swordfished]

The candidates will be asked questions related to abortion, immigration, marriage and other issues Values Voters consider important.

Are these values more important than the values of freedom and liberty? Why do we rarely talk about these essential values?

[Sun]

I’m guessing you’re a Libertarian?? And support Ron Paul??

You cannot enjoy freedom or liberty if you are dead - over 46 million innocents killed from abortion, and countless people from forced euthanasia.

It's time the candidates answer questions from the largest voting block in America: the values voters.

"...the largest voting block in America: The values voters"? Where the heck were they in November of '06? I've heard that there are 40+ million born-again Christians in America. In addition to that, there are millions of Pro-Life Catholics, moral Mormons and just good moral people who claim other or no church affiliation.

In the voting booth, they must come out of the closet and vote for the baby-killing, pro-fag marriage liberals because, with those numbers, we should be the ones calling the elections.
I dunno. If anyone figures it out, please explain to me what's going on.

[Sun]

Some people say that abortion is just one issue, but I tell them it’s 46 million issues - that’s how many babies were killed because of Roe.

But at least this will give the strong pro-lifers a chance to know how the candidates stand, more or less.

[Pinkbell]

Thank you, Sun. I happened to read about this on Thursday. I’m looking forward to it. I sent in a question to be asked regarding pornography. I hinted that I would like it to be asked to Duncan Hunter so we’ll see. I bet you Rudee won’t show up for the debate. He wouldn’t come out well.

[WildcatClan]

A value, being a belief in which one has an emotional investment, one way or the other, I find it hard to believe any American would think to discuss freedom or liberty in terms of “values”. If you’re an American, both liberty and freedom are inherent rights of the individual and not subject to discussion.

Liberty and Freedom are not discussed, as though they are open for interpretation, they are protected and fought for by brave American’s in uniform and those who support them.

The truth is most of don’t know what freedom is because we have never been without it or had to meet its enemies on the field of battle. Those who have suffered, and struggled without it, those brave American’s who have worn the uniform and met the enemies of freedom in battle, they know.............and some gave all.
