Just when the good guys start winning, the Dem leadership sells them out

Harry, Nancy, Barack: nice work.

A slim majority of Americans think churches should stay out of politics, according to a new survey.

The survey suggests that for the first time in more than a decade, there has been a shift away from the view that religious groups should influence social and political issues.

Fifty-two percent of poll respondents said churches should stay quiet, while 46 percent said churches should express political views.

The biggest shift has come among Republicans, one of the authors of the poll said.

So, what does our Dem leadership do? Teabag Rick Warren, and choose a Republican megachurch pro-lifer to deliver closing benediction in Denver. No, it's not that they're stupid.

It's really what they believe. It's what they want for the country. You are what you repeatedly do, as Aristotle says.

'Cause there really needs to be a benediction at a national party convention in the first place, huh? As I said before, unless Wright is given a guest speaking role, I ain't watchin' it. :)

A Village majority is a minority of opinion that benefits conservatives and thus is routinely touted by the media as a majority.

For example, if a small percentage of voters said that "moral values" mattered to them, the Village is entitled not only to pronounce that it's the majority view, it's also allowed to say that it means that most people want more religion in their politics.

Other Village majorities include PUMAs who support McCain (and who are stealth Republicans, anyway), Jews who support the Iraq War, people who don't want the healthcare system overhauled, people who wanted Scooter Libby to go scot-free, and people who don't want Bush-Cheney crimes investigated.
