Ralph Reed: From Purgatory to Power
August 31, 2012
Media attention on Romney, Ryan, Rubio and Eastwood notwithstanding, the true surprise at the Tampa convention was Ralph Reeds resurrection. When the former head of the Christian Coalition was discovered to have raked in millions of dollars from the super lobbyist and eventually convicted felon Jack Abramoff, Reed wound up in political purgatory. But outraged by the election of Barack Obama, and responding to what he describes as Gods call (via Sean Hannity), Reed returned to start the Faith and Freedom Coalition with the aim of toppling Barack Obama from the White House. To succeed, Reed needs to win the allegiance of many of the trusting Christian followers he had duped and double-crossed while working with Abramoff.

KKKarl Rove.
I remember, back in the day, when we used to post and discuss
the Yurica Report, which always had the most current news on
the plots and crimes of the Dominionist cult.
Any one else remember?
Thanks for posting this Marmar- I've been away from the net or
about a week and missed this on Moyers.
