Memo to Florida's GOP Right: Practice what you preach! Gnewt for President! ... by gimleteye

I am convinced that what the GOP needs is a candidate to blow open the hypocrisy of the moral majority. Republicans practice open marriage. I have heard it is like a secret handshake. Redeem your infidelity for a seat in Congress, or something like that. I'm not making this up. Jeff Sharlet wrote "The Family", a group of conservative members of Congress who practice their own version of family values denied to ordinary mortals from a safe house on C Street in Washington DC.

The Family, or the Fellowship, is in its own words an "invisible" association, though it has always been organized around public men. "I wish I could say more about it," Ronald Reagan publicly demurred back in 1985, "but it's working precisely because it is private.""We desire to see a leadership led by God," reads a confidential mission statement. "Leaders of all levels of society who direct projects as they are led by the spirit." Another principle expanded upon is stealthiness; members are instructed to pursue political jujitsu by making use of secular leaders "in the work of advancing His kingdom," and to avoid whenever possible the label Christian itself, lest they alert enemies to that advance. Regular prayer groups, or "cells" as they're often called, have met in the Pentagon and at the Department of Defense, and the Family has traditionally fostered strong ties with businessmen in the oil and aerospace industries."

The GOP adored Gnewt for leading the charge, attacking Bill Clinton for immoral behavior while shagging Calista in the office of the Speaker of the House, two thrusts from the presidency. Where does the ability to do this, come from? It must be God's will. Vote Gnewt!
