Joe Biden aid in statement one of the reasons the Democrats have been beaten in the last two general elections was because they were afraid to talk about faith. He then went on to offer up Bill Clinton as the model of faith for the party. Bill Clinton? I was inclined to agree with Mr. Biden's assessment until he brought Clinton into it. If Bill Clinton stands as their model of faith, an adulterer and liar, then no wonder they have lost.Actually Joe better watch throwing words like "faith" around, the liberals with have a fit. His statement might even be construed as an admission to the importance of faith to the majority of the American people. That is an issue that causes agnostic and atheist liberals to foam at the mouth. They have spend decades trying to marginalize God for one of their own to recognize his important has to be maddening to them.
One of the major reason that the Democratic Party has lost much of its support over the years is the stand that they have taken on faith issues. Their stand on issues such as abortion and homosexuality puts them at odds with a majority of believers, Christians in particular. So, is this a signal of a sea change in the party? I doubt it. Its nothing more than attempt to draw support.
Biden's statements should in all serious be heeded solemnly by the Democrats. Faith is an important issue for the majority of voters. But in order to talk about their faith, they must first have faith. That is the issue, talk is cheap.
Most persons that are sincere believers know when someone is truly a person of faith. It shows in their actions, not in their words. This is what politicians, liken Biden, miss, they think they can "talk" faith. I doesn't work that way, you have to live it. And if you live it, you don't have to talk about it... it shows.
