Keeping a jaundiced eye on the corporate media.
Any minute now, I’ll figure out what makes us so different from Republicans:
CHICAGO (AP) — Reaching out to evangelical voters, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is announcing plans that would expand President Bush’s program steering federal social service dollars to religious groups and - in a move sure to cause controversy - support their ability to hire and fire based on faith.
UPDATE: The AP got it wrong. See comments.
You are a Working Class Warrior, also known as a blue-collar Democrat. You believe that the little guy is getting screwed by conservative greed-mongers and corporate criminals, and you’re not going to take it anymore.

Disgusting, but not surprising. Since the beginning of his Senate career, he has always made strong statements supporting evangelical positions. I wonder what this means for our school science curricula (not to mention, his nominations for the Supreme Court).

Gee, some of us had this guy pegged months ago–but it was much more important to “beat the bitch.” Well done, Dems! You let the media select our candidate instead of the voters, so get out those big happy-face masks, you’re going to need them.
OK, if you had to choose just one, would it be:
Barack Obama

Can we hold off on feeding frenzies until a few facts are checked??
update this post please: according to atrios, TPM, and several other sites, the AP is wrong.
update please.
You know, that whole “You can’t discriminate against people” is such a crock of shit. Prove that that really happens in real life.
Part of Digby’s response to Greenwald’s post.
“Money is fungible. Catholic charities using “government money” for child care but using “their own” money to discriminate in other areas is an accounting method not a meaningful distinction.”
I have as much confidence that churches will do the right thing as I have that Bush will or most any other politicians. And that is none.
