Out of touch

Yahoo! News – Election Reinforces U.S. Religious Divide

The election shows that Democrats in 2008 “are going to have to say they are religiously attuned to America and make it stick and make it authentic,” said Michael Cromartie, an expert on evangelicalism at the conservative Ethics and Public Policy Center. “All future political consultants are going to have to understand religious sensibilities as part of the resume.”

They’re going to have to pretend they’re as religious as the President is for real, and make people believe it.

This is how out of touch political consultants are.

Religion is something meaningful to the person, and their belief or expression of it is not fake, contrived, or manufactured; it’s felt. I get the impression that in 2006 (the next Senatorial race) we’ll see a flux of people who suddenly found God.

    I have to wonder if I’m the only Agnostic in the U.S. who voted for Bush? :???:

    Far from it, Stacy. Even some Republican pagans out there. And our ever talented hostest with the mostest is an atheist. I always laugh when I hear those on the left talk about about the Republican party and those who would vote for Bush as all being Christian. And they think they are enlightened? :roll:

    One thing’s for sure, whether they’re making fun of you for being of faith, or fun of you for being a racist/redneck, they all have one common thread:

    They think you’re stupid.
