For all the new Democratic talk about spirituality and religion, has anyone actually seen or heard a major Democratic leader publicly speak about their belief in the existence of God or, if they are Christian, the saving grace of the Lord Jesus? I'm not speaking about passing references in a speech - essentially lip service - but credibly serious and sustained discussion about their religious belief.

I can't think of a single instance. In fact, I'm not certain if even the supposed religious figures on the Democratic side even profess a belief in God while simultaneously denouncing Republicans that do.

But, to be honest, other than attendance at National Prayer Breakfasts and the like, I can't think of many national level Republican leaders who can past this test either.

one of the most mis-used bible quotes ever.

The GOP is always willing ot be judged by the same standard it judges. It's the Dem party that is NOT and is never called to task by their MSM insurgents.

So Harold Ford criticizes Republicans for being "judgmental", and then proceeds to judge them with a Bible in hand? Does anyone else see the contradiction?

"The recent rush of candidates-political parties -- and their often aggressive tactics -- to reach out to 'people of faith' lures religious organizations and religious leaders into dangerous legal territory," C. Welton Gaddy, president of the 185,000-member Interfaith Alliance, wrote in a letter last month to the national chairmen of the Republican and Democratic parties.

Has the Interfaith Alliance criticized Ford on his most recent statements?

Ford said one of the hallmarks of the Democratic Party is that members don't "use the Bible to judge people."

But my L-rd , Y'shua commanded me to judge!

not by his appearance by with Righteous judgement by the Holy Word of G-d.

John 7:24 "Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment."
I can not support anyone who supports the murder of small children and older people.

I judge them as murderers, who are unfit to lead.

Such hypocrisy - they attacked Frist for sending a videotape to an event at a church and now they are holding campaign rallies at one. Certainly not the first time.

"My friend Lincoln Davis, who chairs this campaign, says there is one big difference between us and ... Republicans when it comes to our faith," Ford said. "He said 'Republicans fear the Lord. Democrats fear and love the Lord.'"

ROFLMAO! If Rats feared the Lord, they wouldn't universally advocate the theft of money from other people to give to their voting blocs! Do unto others as you would have done to you, Weird Harold!!!!!!!!

"It's outrageous for Harold Ford to say that someone's love for the Lord depends on their political views -- and it is offensive to all Tennesseans who want their next senator to bring people together, not divide them."

Republicans have using this style of rhetoric for years. Not so fun when this rhetoric is directed at Republican Christians, is it?
