Are there any Democrats willing to challenge Frist?

[randr]

When Frist accuses Dems of attacking "People of Faith" someone needs to challenge his definition of faith. Just as the right has so successfully marginalized the ecology movement by calling them "treehuggers", we need to define these fake Christians and challenge them to qualify their so called faith.

1. well, what do we call him & his ilk, then?

The RW is so successful because they all stay in tune with each other & follow the same weekly talking points emphasizing the same points in the same language. Of course, dominating the media doesn't hurt them, either.

However, while we generally have great ideas on our side, we are nowhere near as coordinated as they are. When one group attacks Frist, another may be attacking Santorum or DeLay, while MoveOn is making an ad about Social Security and another group is attacking Bush.

"I am disappointed that in an attempt to hide what the debate is really about, Senator Frist would exploit religion like this. Religion to me is a very personal thing. I have been a religious man all my adult life. My wife and I have lived our lives and raised our children according to the morals and values taught by the faith to which we prescribe. No one has the right to judge mine or anyone else’s personal commitment to faith and religion.

God isn’t partisan.

As His children, he does ask us to do our very best and treat each other with kindness. Republicans have crossed a line today. America is better than this and Republicans need to remember that. This is a democracy, not a theocracy. We are people of faith, and in many ways are doing God’s work. But we represent all Americans, regardless of religion. Our founding fathers had the superior vision to separate Church and State in our democracy. It is a fundamental principle that has allowed our great, diverse nation to grow and flourish peacefully. Blurring the line between Church and State erodes our Constitution, and our democracy. It is a blatant abuse of power. Participating in something designed to incite divisiveness and encourage contention is unacceptable. I would hope that Sen. Frist will rise above something so beyond the pale."

6. Reid held his ground against the mafia in Nevada,
