Dems Don't Get Religion

After the election Democrats said that they would start to pay attention
to religious voters. But when religious voters they didn’t like dared to
show up on the public square, Democrats threw a cow. How dare Senator Frist
address a religious rally called Justice Sunday, they complained,
according to
Morton Kondracke.

So Democrats respect religious voters but want to anathematize the Republicans
that speak to them. Writer Alan Wooldridge reports that during the 2004
campaign Bush got his biggest applause when he told his audience that
Bush got his best crowd response by declaring that “the Democratic Party believes
that Hollywood people represent real American values.”
