Symbolism over substance

Anybody remember that phrase?  It came from Rush Limbaugh back in the nineties and it was a description of the Clinton Administration's use of symbolic gimmickry to govern.

Now you've got Nancy Pelosi using this type of gimmickry in washing the feet of a couple children.  I suppose the people are supposed to be impressed with the former speaker washing a couple kid's feet.  But the real reason she's doing it is not to actually help these kids, but to use them as political props.

Only a politician would try such a gimmick.  I suppose there are plenty of gullible people who will fall for it, too.  Otherwise, the politicians wouldn't try such gimmicks.  Keep in mind how the left wants to destroy Christianity and boos when God is mentioned at their political conventions.  It is not sincere at all.
