Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) said he would expand faith-based initiatives if elected president. Kerry, the presumptive Democratic nominee, would establish a presidential advisory group to expand participation of faith-based groups in government programs, according to a campaign document published this week. Orthodox Jewish groups support President Bushs executive orders mandating such initiatives, but other national Jewish groups oppose them, saying they blur church-state divisions.
Kerry said he would rewrite the orders to ensure that money not go to proselytizing.

Ahh, the Kerrybird in full pandering plumage. The good thing is, it has the DUmmies' bowels in an uproar. Pffft.

To: dandi
His idea of 'faith-based initiatives' would be to supply Muslim 'charities' with Federal funding.

Don't I recall Democrats being outraged at President Bush for supporting faith based initiatives? Didn't Time have a front page article stating how frightening it was? Will they do the same thing with Kerry, or will he be Mr. Warm and fuzzy for this revolutionary brilliant new idea of his?

it's obvious who is winning the war of ideas; every day that
goes buy, kerry adopts another GWB position, thereby basically
surrendering more territory.
he needs to change his campaign slogan to "Me, too!"

Senator Kerry has tried to back away from his radical pro-abortion stance (he says life starts at conception) and he's now reversing his opposition to President Bush's faith-based charities.
This is rich. He's got the most liberal voting record in the entire Senate and now he's getting his picture taken with a shotgun, backing our faith-based charities, agreeing with President Bush on Israel and no right of return for Palestinians, as well as trying to back away from his extremist pro-choice position of the last couple of decades or more.
Is he going to be against progressive income taxes next?! Privatizing Social Security?! School choice vouchers?! Missile defense?!
It's almost as though he's done enough polling to actually figure out that the old left-wing agenda isn't selling...

Kerry is looking more and more like a guy who needs to be fitted for a jacket, a very straight one. He doesn't say anything just to get elected, he says anything because he can't help it!
To: dandi
Kerry at a $7 million celeb-studded fundraiser in New York City embraced Merl Streep who issued a warning, apparently directed at Bush, not to take religion on the campaign trail.
Hey folks, they will play a two-way street for themselves and make it a one-way street for the Bush campaign. However, we shall shine the light of truth on them until they're toast.

Have you seen the Kerry-Edwards campaign poster? It is the exact replica of the Buch-Cheney campaign poster. This is political science 101: appear as closely identical to your opponent as possible in order to attract the independent voter who, for their inability to study the issues, remain undecided until they settle on a fresh version (the Kerry campaign) of the old policies (the Bush campaign). This is why you hear the Kerry team talking about a "fresh start for America."
This is pure psych-ops directed at the independent who changes his mind much like he buys a new car every two years.
