WorldNetDaily has coverage of the Values Voter presidential debate last night.
I hope Christians will remember who showed up and who didn't when considering who to send money to, who to volunteer for, and ultimately who to vote for. If some of these candidates care so little for the values of the faith that founded this nation, then why should people of that faith support them to run this Christian-founded country?
Sounds like they had some fun with the absences:
In a unique and at times humorous segment of the three-hour debate, live questions were asked of the four candidates who decided against taking part.
The first came from Teresa Ippoliti, a woman who says as an unborn child, her would-be abortionist "failed to kill" her.
"Mayor Giuliani, your position on abortion would have left me dead," Ippoliti said. "Now that you see me, Mayor Giuliani, do you honestly believe the abortionist had a right to kill me?"
"No answer," someone yelled from the audience after a sustained silence, as eyes focused on the empty lectern with Giuliani's name on it.
"Governor Romney, it looks like you lost some weight," clowned Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality, as he addressed the empty Romney podium before asking him why people should trust the former Massachusetts chief executive "after you spent so much of your career aggressively promoting anti-life positions."
Again, total silence.
The missing contenders said they could not attend the debate due to scheduling conflicts, but Giuliani was in town only hours before the event, and Thompson was in the Sunshine State over the weekend and is slated to return today.
Apparently Democrats think even less of values voters:
Farah noted a second debate had been planned for next week to query the Democrats, but all of the office-seekers from that party declined to participate.
But Democrats had no problem making it to a homosexual debate, or a Spanish-speaking debate. What does that tell you about their priorities?
