Bwah-hah, Jeb Crow Shrub & CHRISTIE weren't invited to the wingnut "values" circus

Reading between the spin lines: 1) So Jeb Crow Shrub is now in the “[FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]LIKELY[/FONT]” category. 2) Ted Carnival CRUZ’s list of “American values” are theological dogmas, NOT the values spelled out as Life-liberty-happiness that sound so SECULAR and even hedonistic, but what to expect from a pre-Cuban-revolutionary?!1 3) So “candidates” are only invited/included during presidential election years, eh?!1 So this means that [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]the ones who WERE invited[/FONT] this year [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]are NOT[/FONT] considered “[FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]candidates[/FONT].”

But first, this link from KEY & PEELE on the topic of “Black Republicans”:

[font size=5]Jeb Bush, Chris Christie not invited to conservative's Values Voter Summit[/font]

[FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]The likely[/FONT] 2016 [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]contenders[/FONT] ‘just weren’t on the top of the list in terms of what they’re doing right now and whether or not it was relevant to the value voters,’ event organizers said. Instead, Sarah Palin, the Duggar family and Sens. Ted Cruz and Rand Paul were among the speakers at the D.C. event.

.... “They [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]shouldn’t take it the wrong way[/FONT], it’s just we have a lot of good, conservative leaders that are fighting on our issues right now that wanted to be a part of that that even we couldn’t fit all of them in,” Perkins added in his comments to David Brody of CBN News.

Cruz's remarks hit on [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]the big three[/FONT] when it comes to [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]conservative issues[/FONT] of the day.

"How do we win?" he asked the crowd.

"We defend the values that are American values. We stand for [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]life[/FONT]. We stand for [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]marriage[/FONT]. We stand for [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]Israel[/FONT]." ....

Perkins left open the door to include Christie and Bush in the future, when the gathering focuses on presidential politics.

"[FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]In a presidential election year[/FONT], we [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]will invite[/FONT] all of those who are [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]candidates[/FONT].”

...rather than of Bush/Christie. Those two are playing for bigger money.

"Values" are how they fleece the rubes. The big money may have realized they already own those voters.
