What are the top three issues among the so-called "values voters" who gathered in Washington D.C. this weekend?
Abortion ranked first among issues of concern to straw-poll voters, getting 41 percent of the vote, with protection of religious liberty second with 18 percent.
Opposition to same-sex marriage was third at 7 percent.
Nice values - their top three priorities are to control other people's lives while whining about a non-existent threat to their own.
And what are the top concerns for the rest of the country? The economy, health care, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, education and climate change -- issues that affect the entire country, people's lives and our future. One might describe those as actual values.
