WWJD???

Fact Check's latest article isn't one their website yet. It should be there by tomorrow, though. It's about that darling of conservative so-called christians - Ralph Reed.

Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness?

We find Ralph Reed's TV ads false and misleading, and his opponent's mostly on target.

No... really? Yeah, okay so I'm not so good at faking surprise.

Summary

Ralph Reed, former national executive director of the Christian Coalition, is making several false and misleading claims about Casey Cagle, his opponent in the race for the Republican nomination to be lieutenant governor of Georgia. Cagle is attacking Reed as well, with tough accusations about Reed's ties to convicted Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Those we find accurate, save for one made-up newspaper quote.

Seriously, what's with the Immoral Minority (aka Christian Coalition) and telling politically convenient lies? We all saw who greedily the TheoCons went after McCain in South Carolina and afterwards during the 2000 GOP primary. And there are plenty of other examples of the same kind of base behavior. What gives?

What would Jesus do?
