Reclaiming Values and Faith

In his playbook for Republicans up for re-election to Congress in 2006, Frank Luntz writes:

The Democrats have attempted to redefine values and faith. You can't let them. Several speakers at the Democratic convention addressed the value of faith without overt religious appeals. in fact, they specifically attacked those who speak of religion or spirituality, an indirect assault on much of the GOP base.A majority of swing voters do not attend church weekly, and this appeal was, well, appealing.

That's encouraging. We need to continue talking about faith instead of religion, to focus on the actions driven by the values Pubs preach (you judge someone's values by what they do not how much they talk about values). The Republicans have gone too far in their "we're the party of values and faith" talk. Americans know that there are plenty of religious people who aren't Democrats and they know that Democrats aren't lacking values. We need to play the oppressed party here, maligned by Republicans who in their arrogance have accused Democrats of having no values, hating America, abandoning our core principles.The average American knows it's not true and we need to continue talking about faith and values in a way that's consistent with our, well, faith and values. Luntz quotes two examples in which Democrats did this effectively.

"My friends, we are constantly being told that America is deeply divided. But all Americans value freedom and faith and family." Pres. Clinton.

"Where I come from, you don't judge someone's values based on how they use that word in a political ad. You judge their values based upon what they've spent their life doing. So when a man volunteers to serve his country, and puts his life on the line for others - that's a man who represents real American values." John Edwards

Let's keep it up and remind our fellow Americans that we share common values that unite us, despite the fact that Republicans are trying to claim the moral high ground, labeling Democrats as without values, and dividing the country into a different sort of "have and have-not" society.
