Op-Ed Criticizes Democrats' Outreach To Religious Voters

An op-ed piece in today's New York Times by Joseph Loconte is worth reading. Titled Nearer, My God, to the G.O.P., it accuses the Democrats of now misusing religion as badly as the right. It points out that after the 2004 election, Democrats decided to try to reclaim religious voters. In the House they set up the Democratic Faith Working Group. In the Senate, minority leader Harry Reid added a page called Word to the Faithful to his website.
