Reply #90: I agree with you in one respect

[never cry wolf]

Before Bush, or really maybe a decade earlier, the RW did try to make religion a political issue, and they were very successful at it. They carried that base to take over the house in '94 and the white house in 2000. Obama is trying to DEpolarize that debate and welcome the deeply religious back to our party.

For one, they need to understand the critical role that the separation of church and state has played in preserving not only our democracy, but the robustness of our religious practice.
