[O.C. - Old Cracker]

I don't think it's healthy for public figures to wear religion on their sleeve as a means to insulate themselves from criticism, or dialogue with people who disagree with them."

This is the same language used by Ron Reagan Jr. at his father's funeral. This kind of rhetoric is code for, "Don't use the inspired Word of God to attack my positions, or to defend your own."

and with jimmy carter calling bush a religious extremist.

It seems like the DNC has focus group data that suggests if they paint bush as too religious they have a chance.

IOW they DNC convetion IS bashing bush via bashing his faith.

Of course they are attacking everyone of faith in the process but they think by using Carter, Reagan, and unopposed obama they will win the argument.

(oh Mr. Ditka where are you when we need you!)
