I believe that reducing the poverty rate is a value.

I believe that providing health care to all children, is a value.

I believe that reducing the gap between the African-American unemployment rate, and the overall national unemployment rate, is a value.

I believe that the ability to call torture by it's name and say this is not what we as Americans stand for, is a value.

I believe that providing DC residents with representation in BOTH houses of Congress, is a value.

I believe that fixing the policy around the facts (and not the other way around), is a value.

I believe that ensuring every legitimate voter is able to vote and have their vote counted, is a value.

I am a values voter. Why wasn't I invited to the summit today?

6. Oh, you have the wrong values. Your values
consist of ideas that would help people. The main value one must have in order to be invited to this meeting is the burning desire to create in the United States a theocracy in which anyone who is not a fundamentalist Christian is tortured and killed. That's the value they're talking about.

8. Did you forget the secret tap code?
The hooker didn't give you a reference? Or was the page you were trying to seduce too old for their taste?

Sorry, but without any of those credentials, you can't be invited :evilgrin:
