One Iowa responds to 'Values Voters' bus tour
from Radio Iowa.
Leaders of national groups that oppose abortion and same-sex marriage are traveling the state, asking Iowans to re-insert those issues in the presidential campaign debate.
Economic issues have been dominating the campaign conversation, but Connie Mackey of the Family Research Council’s “Family Faith Freedom Fund” says “millions of Americans” are looking for Republican presidential candidates who will affirm their “values.”
...Troy Price of “One Iowa” — a group that supports same-sex marriage — said the candidates should be focused on fiscal rather than social issues.
“To suggest that at a time like this when you see the economy in the situation that it’s in, when you see the stock market taking dips day after day, it is about jobs. It is about the economy,” Price said during an interview after today’s news conference. “It’s not about social issues that do nothing but divide our country.”
