David Kuo is a Christian hired at the W. House as 2nd-in-command of Bush's Office of Faith-Based Initiatives. Kuo has a new book 'Tempting Faith: An Inside Story of Political Seduction'.
There is an excerpt in the current (Oct. 23) issue of Time under the title "Why a Christian in the White House Felt Betrayed."
Kuo describes how "members of the senior staff mocked the plan as the 'f___ing faith-based initiative'.' Or as Kuo describes, "When I heard staff privately deriding evangelical Christians because they were so easily seduced by White House power, I raised an eyebrow but not a ruckus."
Kuo does not blame President Bush himself. Bush seems genuinely surprised when Kuo informs him funding for the faith-based initiative is 1% of promised. Instead, it is the Administration surrounding Bush (exemplified by Karl Rove) who "milk religious groups for votes and them boot them unceremoniously back out to pasture." (Kuo's words.)
My Q: What do evangelicals think of this?

I think that that is terrible if that is true, however I am not surprised by it. I do not expect there to be to many righteous people on any side in such a corrupt political system. I hope there are enough to make a difference when we really need them to, or that they will atleast give us some of what we want in order to get our votes.

Morality issue is being used in the White House for political interests.

I have been saying all along that religion is a ploy to get votes. I wonder how many are really Christians.
