The book, "Tempting Faith,", Author David Kuo's conservative Christian credentials are impeccable; his resume sprinkled with names like Bennett and Ashcroft. Now, as the Foley cover-up has many evangelical Christians wondering whether the G.O.P. is really in sync with their values, "Tempting Faith" provides the answer: No way. Kuo, citing one example after another of a White House that repeatedly uses evangelical Christians for their votes--while consistently giving them nothing in return; A White House which routinely speaks of the nation's most famous evangelical leaders behind their backs, with contempt and derision. Kuo's bottom line: the Bush White House is playing millions of American Christians for suckers. According to Kuo, Karl Rove's office referred to evangelical leaders as 'the nuts.'
Kuo says, 'National Christian leaders received hugs & smiles in person and then were dismissed behind their backs & described as 'ridiculous,' 'out of control,' 'just plain goofy'

amazing. i could understand skeptism if the author was Al Franken but the author is a well known & respected Christian conservative. i can understand that having to admit that you've been deceived, duped, used & abused is difficult but come on!
ah well seems pridefulness & the inability to admit error makes for a very stupid Christian voter.
Pro 16:18 Pride [goeth] before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Isa 23:9 The LORD of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, [and] to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth.
Pro 16:5 Every one [that is] proud in heart [is] an abomination to the LORD: [though] hand [join] in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

Was he around when the PTL scandal (Jim Bakker, who's now back in business) happened?
CBN University HAD to change its name to Regents because they were losing funding with the CBN name.
It's called backwash. CBN was too close to PTL'S TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network).
Once also has to remember Bush is a Methodist.
They are the primary sect that totally believes in PreDestination, which means once saved, always saved because God declared it so.
YOu are what you are and God forgives you because God made you that way.
Do you REALLY think David Kuo would stand up to a 24/7 web cam with audio hidden in all the rooms of his house!
Do you really think ALL fundamentalists would approve of EVERYTHING he does if it were all on web cam, open to the public all the time!
Remember, God sees all and knows all and when God's had enough of you, he outs you.

one of the hardest things for a true christian is not to be judgmental and love your neighbour regardless ....
well, seems like there are many many "christians" which are not really true christians
but remember, its not up to us to judge ... it sonly for God
he who sees the speck in the eye of somebody else, doesn't see the spar in his own eye
God Bless you
