Democrats to Values Voters: "Not our values."
By Erick Posted in Culture | FRC Action — Comments (16) / Email this page » / Leave a comment »
Here at the FRC Action Washington Briefing, there's an interesting note. All the Democratic candidates were invited to speak. None accepted. Now, it's important to pay attention to this because the Republicans always get flak for not showing up to talk to GLTB audiences, race based forums, etc.
The Democrats keep talking about how they are going to talk faith this year. They keep saying they are reaching out. Yet they would not come to talk to American evangelical activists this weekend in Washington.
Tony Perkins, the head of FRC, talked about what values are important to "Values Voters" and he emphasized that they are neither Republican nor Democrat values. They are values shared by all of us (allegedly): life, family, and freedom.
Too bad the Democrats aren't interested in talking about those values here this weekend.

The Democrats play to the audience they are addressing. Hillary trying to sound African American when she addresses them comes to mind.
True Evangelicals can spot a wolf in sheep's clothing a mile away. Their actions speak volumes more than their words.
A Leader leads and a Bureaucrat controls. God help us if this thing makes it to the Oval Office.
Were the Democratic candidates invited to participate?
What where their reasons for refusing the invitation?
I'd be curious to know what their campaigns gave as reasons for not being there.
I don't know why the Democratic candidates refused the invitation, but it's simple to me why I wouldn't go: It makes no more sense, intellectually, to attend the FRC Action Washington Briefing than it would to attend a briefing held by people who believe they hear moral/ethical messages from lint.

Let's nominate the Nash Equilibrium for President.
I'll say it again. I will campaign for Ron Paul before ceding one vote to these whatever they are.

You got it confused. It is the Dem base that takes their moral/ethical cues from lint like Markos Moulitsas, George Clooney, Maureen Dowd, Ted Kennedy, Hugo Chavez, Karl Marx et al.
Simple mistake, you probably thought FRC stood for Freaks, Rejects & Celebritards.

Like a "good German", you please the Fuhrer by not addressing the statement and by regurgitating Party line assumptions and baseless generalizations intended to draw praise from others afraid to break ranks.

if you haven't been banned by the time this comment appears.
Why in the world is it fun for you to come on a site like Redstate and post such nonsense? Is is some sort of badge of honor to get banned in the cesspools in which you live, thrive(?) and survive? What exactly is it you are hoping/expecting to accomplish?
Even babies the consider really ugly.
So elements of our Socon wing wants to throw the election to these people. Strategic as always.
