Fiscal responsibility at center stage at Values Voters Summit
so, where were these clowns during the eight years that bu$h* spent money like a drunken sailor?

where were their 'values' then?

Just six weeks out from the November elections, advocates of smaller government and private-sector solutions to the nation's economic problems appear increasingly giddy at the prospect of a new Republican wave into the halls of Congress.

But for those who place social issues like federal bans on gay marriage and abortion at the top of their political wishlist, it's a little more complicated.

Four GOP leaders - each named as potential 2012 presidential candidates -- used their addresses at Friday's opening day of the socially conservative Family Research Council's Values Voters Summit to weave together economic and social issues, painting fiscal responsibility and smaller government as moral imperatives in line with Christian values.

The timing of the fifth annual meeting of social conservatives could be seen as inopportune for Republican strategists, who hope to capture the lion's share of the independent vote in the midterm elections amidst widespread dissatisfaction with Democrats' handling of the economy. Party leaders like potential presidential candidates Gov. Haley Barbour of Mississippi and Gov. Mitch Daniels of Indiana have warned that an overt focus on wedge issues like gay marriage and abortion would be unhelpful for the party's cause going into November.

1. "For those who do not understand us, we would rather lose than
compromise the truth". Prof Craner, Liberty Theological Sem.
speaking at the Values Voters Summit.

Apparently they have the truth, so expect no compromise
if they win elections.

5. Remember, as The Family taught us, "values" are for the little people.
When you're part of The Elect, you don't have to adhere to any moral or ethical standards, because you are - inherently - doing God's will.

That's actually how these pigfuckers think.

6. I am going to pray to MY God that she is exposed for the lying sack that she is
...if the Democrats know what's good-they will research her past with a fine-toothed comb....and then invite the righteous to announce their support.
