Candidates participating
THANK GOD THIS IS ON A CHANNEL NOBODY WATCHES.
I feel sorry for Duncan Hunter.
Duncan’s my guy. Only candidate to stand up to the anti-Americans Saturday.
“Ron Paul’s “closing statement” then his moonbat minions in the audience.”
I bet many of them are from MoveOn.org
I saw that! Duncan was awesome!
Thinking the same thing. He should get his own show, right after 700 club.
Keyes is right!
Hunter should have skipped this one.
All the participants are diminished for having participated.
Alen Keys is now showing why he lost prior elections.
No one can lecture Keyes in the importance of being earnest.
The moveon.org connection explains the hecklers.
Did you even watch the whole debate or just jump in at the end to post a negative comment?
Yes, he is and I've always admired him, however, he is unelectable. My preacher is just as "right" as Keyes is, and he is also unelectable. I think he is a great preacher and could lead many to Christ.
FRegrads,

Here's a theory:
The 'values voters' emerged as a reaction to the debauchery of the Clinton years. I'd bet most of these voters weren't what everyone here are calling 'values voters' or ardent social conservatives, they were just regular folks that wanted to clean up the Oval office and have average-good-decent human beings running things again.
I think the sway of the 'values voters' is exaggerated for the above reasons.
You mean the multi-level marketing scheme on his web site he just mentioned? :-)
“What an embarrassing disaster for all involved.”
Well, RudyMcRomneyson brought it on themselves. It was their choosing to ignore the Values Voters, just like the Dem presidential candidates did.
Between you and me, they are all cut from the same cloth, but don’t tell anyone. People get mad at me for my blunt truth. Shhhhhhhhh.
WHAT? You must be kidding. Haven't you heard of "Freedom of Speech" and the "Freedom of Assembly"?
If you don't like politics involved in your church, then vote with your feet. Don't take the right away from others.
Duncan Hunter: we have troops depending on leadership. Struggle against Islamist fundamentalists. We must leave in victory, not defeat. Talks of his service in Congress and in the military, his son in the military. China emerging as a military superpower. Nuclear Korea.
Families. I’m in this race for the next generation of Americans.
Alan Keyes (four minutes): we talk about the heritage of our country, but don’t want to think through... simple declaration, we are all created equal, endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights. Declare the truth. Without God, there is no liberty. We do not teach creation in the school. We do not teach respect. Stood with Roy Moore.
People say “we gotta win.” We fight for liberty...

Christ told us the strategy of victory... Oh ye of little faith... just mustard seed of faith can move mountains.
Fulfill the promise of America.
CONCLUDES.
Retired from the Army only; I am still a fulltime pastor.
The Chaplain in question, Klingenschmitt, gained notoriety for disobeying a reasonable order. While his desire to have everyone permitted to pray in Jesus’ name is the correct position, that is not why he was released from active duty.
That is twofold:
He disobeyed a lawful order NOT to participate in a non-military media event while in uniform, something we all know is forbidden any soldier, especially an officer,
AND
HIS DENOMINATION refused to recertify him to be an active duty Chaplain (for some unstated reason of their own.)
Either that or they're ordinary Americans who don't like the war. That would be about 2/3 of us.
