Uh oh,Implosion At Leading Conservative Christian Political Firm!

As BuzzFeed reported in June, the Columbus-based Strategy Group for Media — which has represented dozens of Tea Party and religious right Republicans, including Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Michele Bachmann, and Newt Gingrich — has been mired in lawsuits and internal tumult since last spring, when seven of the firm’s managers staged a religious intervention with their CEO, Rex Elsass. After the managers made their demands in a dramatic meeting that culminated with them laying hands on their boss and praying for his soul, Elsass fired three of his top lieutenants, including his longtime protege and Strategy Group president Nick Everhart.

Sounds like these "christians" are doing exactly what Jesus would do. Right??

The best part was the revelation that this group mailed a gift to Michele Bachmann: A "female pleasure machine" (a vibrator !!!)!! By mistake, of course.

Kinda funny how the CEO fired the stupid fucks who laid their hands on him during the religious intervention.

Apparently, he was not touched by the Holy Spirit!
