WASHINGTON, Jan. 31 (UPI) -- House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., wants her party to develop a faith agenda for 2006 to try to reconnect with religious-minded American voters.
Pelosi has tapped U.S. Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., to lead the effort to recapture faith-based voters who, exit polls indicate, constituted a substantial bloc of votes in the 2004 U.S. elections.
Clyburn said he would convene a working group to review party policies and ideas and look at new ways to frame those issues in faith-based terms, Roll Call reported Monday.
"Our problem is not our programs," Clyburn added. "It's been our expressions and interpretations of those programs." The goal of the effort, he said, is to get Democrats comfortable talking about policies in faith-based terms.
"What we're trying to do is get people comfortable with the language, because our proposals are in line with what these people would have them be," Clyburn said. "The problem is our rhetoric is not in line with what people would like to hear."
They're doomed.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
It's what can we do to fool them this time!
Sorry Nancy....its going to take more than a K street think tank white paper.
You need to walk the walk...
Yep.
Doomed, and clueless.
"Our problem is not our programs," Clyburn added. "It's been our expressions and interpretations of those programs."
No, congressman, your problem is that you lack faith, and you despise people of faith.
Good. They will fail to attract any religious voters AND alienate their secular fundamentalist base.
I have a faith agenda for you puking socialists: I HAVE NO FAITH IN ANYTHING YOU SAY OR DO!
So you can all sit down and draw up an agenda and "pooF" your religious!! It certainly has nothing to do with what's in your heart all that matters is you have a piece of paper with a faith agenda and all will flock to your side!
What a bunch of losers!
This should be the new symbol of the Democrat Party: A dodo bird wearing a "Whig."
Going to be kinda tough to do considering that atheism has become a pillar of the Dimocrat platform
Just what the heck are they planning to do? Kerry went all godly and it didn't help him ANY. This will fail, just like when most Democrats try to get it up.
"The problem is our rhetoric is not in line with what people would like to hear."
That's a doozy of an oxymoron.
Here's a start to your faith based agenda:
Stop murdering fetus' and squelching any effort to improve the adoption situation in the US.
Nothing they say or do is going to help unless they help whack Roe v. Wade. I predict they are going to do it, and I further predict it will be Hillary doing the whacking.
That hasn't stopped atheism from having a significant influence within mainstream denominations.
Ahahaha!!! LOL!!!
They must not be talking about the Christian faith. Because last time I checked they were busy removing God from Christmas, The pledge of Alliegance, The Dollar Bill, etc., etc.
Abortions only on Monday, Wenesday and Friday.
Conservative pro-life Christian voters made monumental contributions to GWB's 2004 vote totals. Pres Bush won with 63 Million Votes (13 million more than 2000).
The map, though impressive, conveys the misleading impression that blue state Catholics voted for Kerry (a CINO).
According to EWTN "The World Over Live" analysts, with the exception of VA, where Catholics spit 70/30 in favor of Bush, the majority of Catholic voters split 55/45 for Bush.....a whopping number of votes since Catholics number about 52 million Americans.
According to CNN exit polls, Bush voters included 38% of union members, 40% of those with union members in their households, 42% of those earning $15,000-$30,000, 44% of those who earn under $50,000 and 44% of Latinos, 45% of youth (aged 18-29), 13% of liberals—even 11% of Democrats voted for Bush.
If you look closely, the map appears to place the insignificant "Other Voters" in the ocean.....that's accurate, because "Other Voters--RINO Republicans" were on cruise ships.
(MAP UPDATE Bush won Michigan, Ohio, Iowa and New Mexico later.)
I think the Democrats might have won the White House if they had been willing to support the ban on partial birth abortion. But they've become such a pro-death party, they've forever marginalized themselves among people of faith.
