Great point. But how do we do this effectively? I don’t think people who voted for Bush trust the DNC or Republicans enough to believe them even if what they say rings true.

The left needs to develop a faith-analysis that moves the political debate from Old Testament “fire and brimstone” wedge issues to the “social gospel” of the New Testament. I think Kerry hit on this in one of the debates (which one?) when he talked about faith without works. The DNC should put up a basic T-chart, for every issue, that has Christian principles on one side and the Republican legislative agenda on the other. Quit the kvetching about belief and expose the hypocrisy.

When you say the phrase “taken over”, you indicate your lack of tolerance. You might not like or accept another point of view or policy,but, it is really an indication of maturity and tolerance to understand that there are other view points around that are legitimate, even if you don’t like them.

I think America as a country is too young to understand what happens when government and religion embrace: They use each other. Look at the Catholic church and Italy centuries ago. Some people think it’s great that Bush supposedly is influenced by the church, but eventually it works the other way around, too. You don’t want the church telling the government what to do, and you don’t want the government telling your church what to do. Crap, we need new leadership.
