Ralph Reed, former leader of the Christian Coalition and head of the Georgia Republican Party, was defeated by a relative unknown yesterday in a primary election for Lieutenant Governor of Georgia. According to the Washington Post:
An upbeat Reed told a few dozen cheering supporters in Atlanta that his conservative message will live on.
"Stay in the fight. Don't retreat. And our values will win in November," he said.
The question is, which values. We can argue about whether Reed's Christian values even remotely resembled the values of Jesus, but it turned out that Reed's true values revolved around lining his pockets with money. He is just the latest casualty of the Jack Abramoff scandal.
Since I don't believe in eternal punishment for sins, I am glad to see he is getting his just rewards in this lifetime.
