Many of these questioners are asking for the candidates to commit to legislating morality.

Legislating morality does not work, and it certainly is not a election winner.

I'd rather vote for the one who shares my view!

You're absolutely right. This sounds more like the theocracy voters' debate.

Killing and stealing, for instance, are moral issues that have been legislated, so we already do legislate morality.
