Re: Faith gets politican by

Moral courage has no place in the packaging of political candidates unless such a claim has a soft target audience. Current administration successfully appealed to evangelicals, Catholics and other dogmatic Christian voters, strung them along on gay, abortion and patriotism issues, then abandoned those efforts after picking up their second term as a war administration. Current political hopefuls are casting a wide net with faith references in hopes of picking up some of those disillusioned voters without having to take a stance on particular issues important to those voters. It is early in the game.
