Republican values – strong families, faith, personal responsibility and freedom, among others – are not unique to specific subsets of the electorate. They are universal values, and it is Republicans job to remind Americans of that fact. – Gary Bauer

Its important to ask candidates about their beliefs, in part because politicians frequently exploit religious faith – often with the idea that voters will be more likely to unthinkingly accept certain political positions so long as they arise from religious belief. – Gary Bauer

The question Americans should ask is not whether a candidate is affiliated with a particular faith but rather whether that candidates faith makes it more likely he or she will support policies that align with their values. – Gary Bauer
