Aren’t you just sick of Republican candidates who wear their religious faith on their sleeves? You know, the ones who cynically exploit the whole “God, guns, and gays” thing — who would come right out and call themselves a “Jesus-loving, gun-supporting believer that families should come first.” Oops. That’s not a GOP candidate, but rather Rep. Harold Ford Jr. this morning on “Fox News Sunday”:

WALLACE: Congressman, as we’ve said, you vote pretty conservative for a Democrat, but the fact is that if you win and if you’re part of a Democratic takeover of the Senate, that means that Harry Reid…becomes the Senate majority leader, Ted Kennedy becomes a committee chair, so does Joe Biden. Doesn’t a Ford victory as part of a Democratic takeover, doesn’t that end up helping liberals?
FORD: What Tennesseans will get will be a Jesus-loving, gun- supporting believer that families should come first, that taxes should be lower and America should be strong. When Tennesseans send us to the Senate, that’s what they’ll get in my votes and that’s what they’ll get in the kind of leadership that we have not had in the Senate over the last six years.

And by the way, Ford added that “taxes should be lower and America should be strong.”
