Yep, all the christians out there will be sure to rush and vote for the Democrats after they hear this.
I dunno. I once observed a regional debate and vote on ordaining practicing homosexuals in the Presbyterian church. I saw at least 50 elders and ordained ministers get up and speak on behalf of their congregations in approving this, and only one of these even mentioned a bible verse...and took it horribly out of context.
It won't help much in 2006 either. But you raise an interesting point--Dean allegedly is pursuing a strategy to implant viable 'rat parties in the red states, to have a "fifty state strategy". To do so, he has implied that he believes he can seduce "moderate" and swing voters, and has hired the loathsome narcissistic fraud Jim Wallis to "con the Christians."
But this pattern of relentlessly ridiculous and insulting statements about Christians and Christianity seems to be 180 degrees opposed--he cannot believe he is winning votes from the red end of the spectrum with this drivel.
So the question is, Why is Dean making these apparently self-defeating statements? The only thing I can come up with is, he is so desperate for funds for '06 that he must continually play to the base for fundraising at the expense of party building. Which means, he is in no condition to challenge the red states for supremacy, which means the 'rats are indeed headed for more losses and longterm decline.
