... wanted to stop the "whole country from having sex."
... believed that spouses who have been cheated on possess compromised "purity."
... believed contraception is "anti-human."
... claimed abstinence-only education has been an "incredible success."
... excused gay bashing as "kids being kids."
... warned about mice with "fully functioning human brains."
... warned that former President Clinton hosting a TV show would be a "threat to our national security."
All of these last-minute in sights to O'Donnell beg the question: should the people who voted for Christine O'Donnell be voting at all? Voting is not just a right, but an act of responsibility. Casting a ballot for someone you do not know about is irresponsible. In addition, putting up a front (in this case, exposure at the Values Voter Summit) for a candidate simply because she said "God" so many times before, is not only irresponsible, but downright deceptive.
Conclusion: The Summit As Laugh Fest
Well-entertained audiences will tell you that frightened clowns are the funniest: we are delighted when one clown is running for fear of being sprayed by seltzer water or being hit by a pie in the face. And so it was at the Summit: Fischer, Perkins, O'Donnell, Bauer, Schlafly all regaled us with their fears, even in the Summit's "serious" panels, e.g. HOW TO REACH THE ONLINE GENERATION (WITHOUT LOSING YOUR SOUL) or SOCIAL JUSTICE: AM I MY BROTHER'S KEEPER? and the most fearful of all: THE REAL COST OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.
The Summit so entertained the rest of the country, that it had us clamoring for more, we want more Fischers, O'Donnells, Angles, Bachmanns and Palins. What matters that they make any headway into our secular system, eventually we will be laughing too hard to vote for them.
One comment about the Summit, the Republican party and the Tea Party that was particularly apt:
"...if you won't vet your candidates, send them to Jerry Springer so that the audience can vet them, and the others, send them to rehab and a priest."
