Democracy on the march

The candidates were asked to speak of President Bush's Second Inauguration Address in which he called for a spread of democracy around the world.

Rep. Paul said it was wrong for values to be spread by force.

Governor Huckabee said, "I don't think it is the job of the United States to export out form of government." Huckabee claimed that the number one objective is to secure the borders and provide for national defense. He also called for money being spent overseas to be spent in the U.S..

McCain, Giuliani, and Romney all agreed that elections don't equal instantly democracy. Giuliani said that security and stability is a must. Romney expanded and said that health care and education were staples to a strong democracy.
