Last summer the Center for American Progress, headed by John Podesta, President Clinton's former chief of staff, gathered 400 clergy and scholars at a "faith and policy" conference in Washington. Then came George Bush's re-election, made possible by church-going voters, and suddenly the "faith factor" gained new cachet among Democrats. Earlier this year, for example, Hillary Clinton told supporters in Albany that "religious and moral values" could help discourage teenage sex. In March, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi formed a working group to design a "faith agenda" for her party.

Pathetic how Democrats have to figure out how to "find religion" by having meetings and committees to figure it out.

Presupposing anyone can figure out how to inform such teenagers that 'religious and moral values' are worth holding. I wouldn't count on Hillary figuring it out any time soon.

That's pretty much the way Jesus did it, isn't it? Some polls and focus groups, get together with the cronies and brainstorm an agenda. That's gotta be in the Gospels somewhere, we're just missing the correct 'interpretation' of what Jesus was 'really' saying. I await the wisdom of Pelosi. (This should be good for a laugh.)
