Ralph Reed: Another Abramoff Friend

Do you remember Ralph Reed, former member of the Christian Coalition, and now candidate for governor in Georgia? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_E._Reed,_Jr. Mr. Reed is also a friend of Jack Abramoff!!!! Isn't it amazing how some people claim to be so good, so holy, and so willing to judge others? Read this article: http://www.ajc.com/metro/content/metro/1005/10metreed.html

Here are some interesting paragraphs:
'The Atlanta Journal-Constitution recently disclosed Reed's work with Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff in helping to defeat a 2000 congressional effort to restrict Internet gambling.

'Reed, who has denounced gambling, already has been tied to Abramoff in several enterprises involving Indian tribes with casinos, now under investigation by two U.S. Senate committees.'

I like the beginning of the last sentence--'Reed, who has denounced gambling...' I think we could call Ralph Reed a HYPOCRITE.
Reed also has some very low approval ratings. The GOP in Georgia, Ohio, and DC, continue with their culture of corruption. Is it me or does it seem that the GOP is having problems with truth, honesty, and cronyism in many of our 50 states?
