Scott Walker - Disgraced Televangelist

What is the difference between Scott Walker & this guy?


Not much it turns out.....Scott Walker recently met with Disgraced lobbyist/fake Christian Ralph Reed and the Christian wrong.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker spoke to a crowd of political and spiritual true believers Wednesday night — seeking to mobilize support from a national tele-town hall hosted by Ralph Reed’s Faith and Freedom Coalition.
For a reporter listening in, the call provided a good example of the messages, both positive and negative, that Walker has put to his deep base supporters. He spoke of his religious background as a pastor’s son, how both of his own children have accepted Christ as their savior, and how much he appreciates the prayers that people have offered for him as he faces a recall election on June 5.
Walker also spoke of the issues at hand — how his potential victory or perhaps defeat in the election would send a huge message to other governors who might be thinking of taking on entrenched public employee unions, and saving money for the taxpayers. And in response to one question from a ten-year old boy, Walker said that he’ll work to make sure that his family can keep more of their own money, so the boy can grow up and keep the family business.

Yes what else to talk about with the religious wrong but Jesus and money......But wait there is more, Walker doubled down on his love of Jesus:

“In so many ways, in so many instances, God has affirmed how good his grace is. And whether it’s politics, or in business, or your home life, He calls us to follow Him, not the other way around. And you stay true to that in life, it’s all going to work out.”
 Yes Jesus would want Scott Walker to raise multi millions of $$$ from all over the country(mostly out of state), to fund a record setting negative campaign spend...

Finally after talking money enough, the religious wrong were smitten with him.   So they asked him one final question.   What can we do to help.

“Well first off, pray for me — pray for my family, and particularly for the next four weeks,” Walker said. “But beyond that I call it the three ‘M’s: The message, manpower, and money. Any one of those will help out.”
 God Bless you all, but most of all send your money.    Yes Scott Walker is a Jesus Warrior!


Amen

Reliving The American Nightmare Rally

Paul Ryan at Faith & Freedom rally
Over the weekend, Waukesha County was ground zero for what the media portrayed as just a good old-fashioned conservative shindig hosted by a group called the Wisconsin Faith & Freedom Coalition.

They were actually two events.

On Friday night, the group hosted what they called "Reviving The American Dream" which had guests such as former US Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez, Faith and Freedom Coalition founder Ralph Reed, Tonette Walker and Lt. Governor Becky Kleefisch.

On Saturday, they held a really for the GOP primary candidates.  This jubilee was attended by Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.  Many other people - including Scott Walker, Ron Johnson, J.B. Van Hollen, Sean Duffy, Jim Sensenbrenner, Tom Petri and Reid Ribble -  had been invited but it is unclear by any of the news reports if they showed.

The odd thing was no one knew what this Faith & Freedom Coalition was.

Well, almost no one.

Josh Glasstetter, writing at Right Wing Watch for People for the American Way, breaks it all down nicely.

According to Glasstetter, Faith & Freedom Coalition was founded and is operated by Ralph Reed.  Reed has a long history of sordid behavior, including being tied to federal scandals involving Pat Robertson's Christian Coalition, which is the granddaddy of the Faith & Freedom Coalition.  Reed also has a long history with Jack Abramoff and, per Abramoff, had direct involvement with the pay for play scandal.

Well, now it all makes sense doesn't it?

I hope that Rob Zerban makes sure that people know exactly what kind of characters Ryan loves to hang out with.

My only question now is if Reed and Walker had any time to talk so that Reed could tell Walker the proper way to run a scandal so that after Walker makes atonement for Walkergate, he can get right back on the horse and run another scandal.
