Congressman Ford's grassroots support is growing each and everyday, in every way possible!That is evident by the following comments.
This is from from a moderate blogger, Angela Winters:
“I'm cool with Ford. I think he's a pure politician, so he's too prepared and rehearsed for my taste, but he's sensible and centrist, so he'd have my vote if I lived in TN.”
These comments in support of the Congressman come from the Commercial Appeal:
The Bible belongs to no political party or set of candidates for public office. I found U.S. Rep. Harold Ford Jr.'s remarks refreshing (Feb. 21 article, "Mutual admiration -- Illinois senator lends charisma, credibility at Ford Jr. pep rally").
He did not rebuke Democrats, Republicans, and Christians, independents or atheists in invoking his faith. I have heard him say in other speeches before diverse audiences that using the Bible to justify specific policies is wrong, but one's faith is a motivation for all of us wherever we live and whatever we do in life.
I'm shocked that David Waters (Feb. 26 Viewpoints column, "Preaching, politicking hard to mix") would object to this, since he routinely writes how conversations about faith and politics should be inclusive, not damning. Ford was right.

Ford is guided by the Book of Matthew's 25th chapter. And David Waters and The Commercial Appeal object to that. You all are making me like Harold Ford Jr. more and more. He may get my vote now.
