What's your source for that David?
Check section 11 in the rulebook:
Playing a card as an event: Mandatory Event cards, Home cards, Event cards, and some Response cards (but never Combat cards) may be played as events during a power’s impulse.
Section 6.1 earlier doesn't allow response card general abilities to be played:
Response Cards
Cards with the name of the card in blue and the word “Response” printed on them are Response cards. Response cards are playable as an event in the Action Phase during any player’s impulse (including your own). Play of a Response card interrupts a player’s impulse, a battle, or an Event card play. Players should allow a reasonable amount of time for play of a Response card by another player after each action, event, naval combat, or assault. Response cards can also be played for CP during a player’s impulse if a player does not wish to use the card’s special ability to interrupt another player.
I don't see anywhere that allows for general play of response cards as your turn. In HIS there were Response cards (Landsknechts, Swiss Mercenaries) that specificaly allowed you to play them as an Event (with no modification to the effect or requirement to do so, so if we were to expect a change in rules it should be explicit in the VQ rulebook somewhere.

Zack, you quoted the exact section which allows a player to play response cards as events during their own impulse. Generally the rules and restrictions for playing response cards as events versus responses are found on the cards themselves.
Here is the section you pointed out again:

Here are all the response cards which can be played as an event during a power's impulse (A link to an online VQ card database can be found here):
11. Dragut Falls (second option).
13. Reiters
15. Storms (second option)
16. Sultan's Harem (first option, Ottoman only)
41. Border Reivers (first option if you and opponent both control at least one of the spaces listed and second option if England, France or Prot)
43. Experienced pilot
45. Scurvy (second option)
58. Jeanne of Navarre (first option)
89. Mary Queen of Scots (secod option)
102. Sir Edward Stafford (second option)
If I counted right about ten of eighteen response cards can be played as events, for at least one of their options, by some or all powers.
