The nearly 2,000 "values voters" who attended the event heard political pep talks from past and present GOP presidential hopefuls such as Mike Huckabee (who won a straw poll for 2012), Mitt Romney and Tim Pawlenty (former GOP governor Sarah Palin sent her regrets), as well as Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader John Boehner, who encouraged the audience to do its part to end the Democratic majority in Congress in 2010.
Rob Boston of Americans United for Separation of Church and State was there. "I'm used to Religious Right confabs being GOP rallies, but this one was way over the top," Boston wrote on his blog. "These groups don't even pretend to be non-partisan any more - yet many of the sponsoring groups (the Family Research Council, the Heritage Foundation and the American Family Association) hold tax-exempt status. Are you listening, IRS?"
But Barry Lynn, executive director of Americans United, thinks the main groups behind the 'Values Voter Summit' have crossed the line and become partisan. He notes that the Family Research Council's Action PAC has issued a "hit list" of 11 House members it has targeted for defeat (all Democrats) three House members and one senator it vows to keep in office (all Republicans). "This is a fundamentalist political operation thinly disguised in 'family values' garb," Lynn said.
