Clinton Hires Faith Guru
The Hill ^ | 12-13-06 | Alexander Bolton

Posted on 12/13/2006 3:05:06 AM PST by 4BoysMom

Burns Strider, one of the Democratic Party’s leading strategists on winning over evangelicals and other values-driven voters, will join Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) as she prepares to launch her 2008 presidential campaign...

...Strider’s move to Clinton’s camp suggests that Democrats will woo so-called faith voters in the 2008 election. The plan is buoyed by the Democrats’ success in winning over religious voters in Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania in the midterm elections.

I have a hard time believing faith and values voters would have anything to do with Clinton...

The question is what faith?

Reminds me of a joke that was going around during Bill Clinton's administration.

Did you hear about the assassin they found on the White House lawn, waiting for Clinton to appear? They caught him with a Super Soaker and a gallon of holy water.

I always liked the cleverness of that joke, and if Hillary gets elected, I can use it again. I'm sure liberals don't tell the joke about Bush because they don't get the holy water thing.

So true... there do seem to be many 'faith' organizations that have nothing to do with Christianity...

Pantheism, presumably.

... and the fact that unlike the Clintons, Bush actually is a man of faith, and Holy water would not melt him as it would them!

Maybe Hillary could find Don Jones, her youth minister from the old days in Park Ridge.

So-called?

I think "faith voters" will see through this in a heartbeat.

What arrogance.

I grew up in a suburb just next to Park Ridge. And my aunt and uncle lived there. :)

Not that this is on topic or anything. :)

If you don't understand faith, hiring somebody to fake it isn't going to help.

From this link:

Burns Strider, Policy Director -- Burns, a native of Grenadda, Mississippi, comes to the Caucus office from Leader Pelosi's staff. Burns has eight years experience working on the Hill, and has worked closely with Clyburn over the past year in the Congressman's capacity as Chair of the Leader's Faith Working Group. Strider has worked in a freshman Member's office, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and in Leadership. He has a broad understanding and perspective of the Caucus and Congress. He will oversee the development of Democratic Caucus issues and policies.

Interesting.

So, the Democrats "won over" voters in some States...Why? Because Rahm and company withheld information concerning Foley for more than a year in order to spring this just before the elections. Looks as though it worked very well, they won the elections under very suspicious circumstances, in other words, they lied then and are lying now as to when they acquired the goods on Foley. Of course, nothing will be done about this by the spineless Republicans.
