Lt. Gov. Michael Steele: You don’t mess with Palin, she shoots moose

“You don’t want to mess with Sarah Palin, she shoots moose. What do you think she will do to donkeys?” Lt. Gov. of Maryland Michael Steel said while speaking at the Values Voter Summit for the Family Research Council.

The summit focused on family values and what Republicans need to do to insure the victory of Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin.

Speaker and journalist Lou Dobbs opened the three day event saying ” Your voice, the voice of citizens all over this country cannot be heard in this town and won’t be heard, irrespective of whom you decide to vote for until we push back against the forces that arrayed against what this country stands for.”

Dobbs also touched on issues that separate McCain from Sen. Barack Obama. ” One is far more evolved and far more enlighted than the other.”

The coach of the Washington Redskins, Joe Gibbs also spoke at the summit. Gibbs talked about his life journey and how he started to believe in God and family values that made him who he is today. ” I was put on this Earth, not to coach football and win Superbowls, but to help others realize the power God can have in your everyday life and to help others realize that family values can help guide you on the right path.”

Besides the issues of religion and family values, Palin’s candidacy was a topic of interest throughout the day. Lt. Gov. Steele quoted Palin several times in his speech, making it known that she is “a real and authentic woman.”

Over the next three days there will be numerous speakers attending the summit including; former presidential candidate Mitt Romney, Actor and evangelagist Stephen Baldwin, Fox News host Sean Hannity, Sen. John McCain and/or Sen. Barack Obama, and pro-life activist Lila Rose.
