Missed the next question. I can’t keep up

[NormsRevenge]

Oh I hear you there too. I’m not too hep on YouTubeian politics myself.

Eventually they will have enough of these things, maybe more folks tuning in will learn more about the issues and stances of the candidates.. altho ,,

Positions are pretty well laid out already, we have to keep in mind how long the process has already been going on for.. campaign fatigue can set in..

A lot of voters as is are already turned off at their own parties as a result of previous events or lack of action, seems the one that can get its head right should have the upper hand the next couple elction cycles. what’s so bad about being and voting conservative right anyway?

all green lights

[jmyrlefuller]

Would you make schools forfeit federal funding if the promote homosexual propaganda?

All say yes.

[Sun]

“Yes I have heard Laura’s show on occasion; I enjoy it immensely. Not surprised that she quotes WND. Just surprised that Hannity would reference them, since he is the head cheerleader for Rooty-toot Guiliani.”

WND seems to like Hunter and Tancredo best. Wish Sean Hannity would read more of those articles. :)

‘Snowflake babies’ are very cool. Kudos to that couple.

Question up from Navy Chaplin sued for praying in Jesus name,

the credibility of any question and answer session is not enhanced by this Chaplain's case.

[CounterCounterCulture]

Stephen Bennett, former homosexual, now married with two precious children. Knows many people dead from the lifestyle. Would you support schools lose federeal funding for exposing children to homosexual propaganda?

all yesses.

somebody asks can we do away with all federal funding? (not sure who)

[DocRock]

I have to take a quick trip, and I’ll be back in a few. Can someone else take up the slack? Next question was about contraceptives in education... all in agreement

[EveningStar]

Soitenly! :)

[jmyrlefuller]

Would you make abstinence education on par with contraceptive education? All say yes.

[TomGuy]

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.

[newzjunkey]

Put abstinence based education on par with safer-sex education?

All said yes.

[jmyrlefuller]

Got it covered.

Next question regarding Sudan/Darfur. Would you support a commission to monitor it?

Paul no, all others yes.

[CounterCounterCulture]

Former Sudanese slave (with some nasty bumps on his forehead). Support a commission to monitor the eradication of slavery in Sudan?

Paul only no vote.

[RatsDawg]

I just got home from school, so I am late to the game.

Anyone know if this is going to be on tv again anywhere? Like C-span or anything?

Thanks!

Judge Moore is one of my heroes. I always thought he might run for office, but not so far.
