Bye, Bye Ralph Reed, Wasn't Nice Knowing You
The one thing I've always thought was honest about the name Christian Coalition is that they are, yes, probably a coalition. Christian? Not by a long shot. At least not if they're referring to themselves as those who follow the path of Christ. They do have a great way of following the path of ignorance and intolerance, but I guess the Ignorant and Intolerant Coalition just doesn't have a good ring to it.
Ralph Reed, a CC stalwart, is running for Lt. Gov. down in Georgia. And the Republican party seems to be fleeing from him. Why? Maybe it's because of Ralphie's good friend, Jack Abramoff. What do Ralphie's CC friends think? Well one of them, Phil Dacosta, said that after reading emails between Ralphie & Jack, "it became pretty obvious he was putting money before God. We are righteously casting him out."
What could possibly have been in those emails that would make people think Ralphie preferred money to God (on the other hand, what possibly could any CC member have been thinking to watch Ralphie and NOT get that fact)?
Ralphie to Jack, 1998: "I need to start humping in corporate accounts! . . . I'm counting on you to help me with some contacts."
And in 1999 after giving Jack a bill for $120,000 and saying he needs $300,000 more: "We are opening the bomb bays and holding nothing back."
Ok, so RR likes money. But Ralphie said a couple of years ago, he didn't know who Jack's clients were, or what they were doing. So surely he can't be part of the current scandal? Oh wait, what's that 1999 email from Jack to Ralphie? "It would be really helpful if you could get me invoices as soon as possible so I can get Choctaw to get us checks ASAP."
Oh well, at least Ralphie had the love and respect of Jack & his boys. . . . . Oh, wait, maybe not.
Jack's email to his partner Scanlon referencing Ralphie: "He is a bad version of us! No more money for him."
Bye bye Ralphie, it's been fun. Go find a rock to hide under. And don't bother coming back.
