Bush aims to mobilize 'values' voters

Bush aims to mobilize 'values' voters

By NEDRA PICKLER, Associated Press Writer Sat Nov 4, 11:07 PM ET

GREELEY, Colo. -
President Bush encouraged voters to select candidates who will lower taxes and defend "traditional values" as he kicked off the final campaign weekend in a state where gay marriage dominates the political debate.


Colorado voters face a pair of choices Tuesday that affect the rights of gay couples. The issue took on a new intensity last week with the allegations that a prominent Colorado Springs minister who criticized gay marriage secretly paid for sex with a man for years.

Meanwhile, Democrat Angie Paccione has used the issue in her attempt to unseat Republican Rep. Marilyn Musgrave (news, bio, voting record) — a leading congressional critic of gay marriage — in rural Colorado's 4th District. No Democrat has won the district in more than 30 years, but Paccione is putting up such a challenge that Bush came to town to try and give Musgrave a boost three days before the Election Day.

"She has worked to prevent the institution of marriage from being redefined by activist judges," Bush said to thousands rallying for the GOP at a cavernous event center. "She understands your values, and that's another reason to send her back to the United States Congress."

1. Change "value" voters to "sect members." How does he get away with the term "values" ?

2. Oh the irony
Greeley is where Sayed Kotb went to school and created the stop the decadence theory of Islamic fundamentalist(the anti west if you will).

Watch the "Power of Nightmares" a film shown on the BBC.

3. Does he mean the Mark Foley, Ted Haggard.......
Jack Abrhamoff, Tom Delay, Duke Cunningham, Bob Ney etc. etc. etc. values? Or are there some other kind of as yet hidden Republican values they're going to spring on us? I must say, the values the Republican party has demonstrated thus far are NOT something to base a campaign on. :eyes:

4. Can't Eat Value, Nor Substitute It For Habeus Corpus
It won't educate your child, pave your road, or protect your border.

Value just tells you which candidate will lead, and which will destroy.
