Ralph Reed, former Christian Coalition kingpin lost in his bid to become Lt. Governor of Georgia last week, possibly marking the end of Mr. Reed's quest for public office. Seems those direct ties to one fairly evil-dealing Jack Abramoff were a little too much to overcome.
Any research of Mr. Reed generally reveals and reflects much of what is wrong with the Christian Coalition. What's the old saying "power corrupts" and "absolute power corrupts absolutely", well, I can't remember it exactly on this rainy, lazy Saturday, but Ralph has a fairly checkered past that is not too becoming for anyone, let alone someone directing a Christian organization. His nickname among insiders, not critics mind you, was Ralph "Greed".
Absolutely nothing wrong with Christians voicing their opinion in the marketplace - that's what it's all about. But in this day and age you throw in power, money, a few Jack Abramoffs, and stir gently - and you have Ralph Reed. Not pretty, and not a good loser either.
