More hypocrisy from the Radical Right

[Maestro]

Remember Ralph Reed, former Christian Coalition preznit? It has just been discovered that he has been lobbying for Jack Abramoff's D.C. lawfirm. Specifically, he was lobbying against the ban of Internet wagering. I personally could care less about what he was doing, but the fact that as the CC preznit he called gambling a "cancer" and now lobbies in favor of gambling once again shows that these people have no true principles but rather they simply follow the money and what serves them. The fact that he was working with Abramoff just makes this even juicier. He claims he did not know that Abramoff was the firm that had hired him. :eyes:

I am going to look for the link but this appeared buried in the repuke rag, The Dallas Morning News .

Oh brother! This information should be spread far and wide. I'm tired of the hypocriacy and my fellow good liberal Christians getting beaten down when these people obviously don't believe in Christ's message(s)!

Ralph Reed and the millions he's been given to pimp casino gambling by a disgraced lobbyist .

Reed was paid more than $3.8 million during a yearlong period in 2001 and 2002 by Michael Scanlon, a former aide to House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas), according to documents obtained by Roll Call.

8. Abramoff was the disgraced lobbyist

[Maestro]

10. Nice research

These guys are all mentally disturbed willing to screw whomever just to see their agendas and pockets gratified and lined. And since Abramoff is involved yet again, this is especially telling.

9. The Religious Righties are into things they consider sinful.

I mean it's their nature...I was reading this reference book at my school's library about those who make up the religious right, they had alot of dirt on them. They all do the so called sinful stuff they bitch about that we are doing. They are the biggest hypocrites there are in the world, so it when it comes stuff like you mentioned about Ralph Reed concerning gambling, I'm not shoocked, just amused.


By the way, Reed isn't the only lover of gambling that used to be in the Christian Coalitian, of what I read Robertson likes the gambling too.

11. Yeah, I am sure they get with the other hypocrite

Bill Bennett!
