"Part of it's because of the so-called leaders of the Christian Right, who've been all too eager to exploit what divides us," the Illinois senator said.
"At every opportunity, they've told evangelical Christians that Democrats disrespect their values and dislike their church, while suggesting to the rest of the country that religious Americans care only about issues like abortion and gay marriage, school prayer and intelligent design," according to an advance copy of his speech.
Perhaps it would have been smoother to talk about faith as a personal issue for every man and woman to decide -that you won't change mainstream American policy on the basis of your more liberal religious beliefs- rather than smearing the Christian Right that cares deeply about those issues at the polling location.
