The Return of Ralph Reed at 'Faith and Freedom 2011'

Ralph Reed’s exile from the power structure of Washington is officially over. Damaged badly in the Abramoff lobbying scandal in 2005, Reed flexed his rehabilitated political muscle this weekend as his new Christian Right group—the Faith and Freedom Coalition—held a gathering at a downtown hotel that attracted almost every bright light in the Republican Party.

Attendees paid $110 to see a stunning lineup of conservative political elite, plus a fancy Gala dinner on the final night. Those considered to be presidential material came to woo the crowd: Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty, Jon Huntsman, Michele Bachmann, Haley Barbour, Rick Santorum, Herman Cain, Ron Paul and even Donald Trump. Heavyweights in Congress appeared as well—House Speaker John Boehner, Majority Leader Eric Cantor, budget guru Paul Ryan (and his staff director), head of the National Republican Campaign Committee Rep. Pete Sessions, along with a litany of lower-ranking members.

The head of the Republican National Committee, Reince Priebus, delivered a long speech. Strategists like Grover Norquist, Dick Morris, Frank Luntz, and the leaders of several national Tea Party organizations made appearances.

Powerful Christian Right leaders also enjoyed prominent speaking slots: Gary Bauer of American Values, the Family Research Council’s Tony Perkins, Dr. Richard Land, president of the Ethics & Liberty Coalition, and David Brody of the Christian Broadcasting network all showed up. ............(more)

.....Desperation is one word that comes to mind...these guys thing pulling out the old clowns is a WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER..

Going after Social Security and Medicare should be electoral suicide.
Yet they think they can get away with it. Why?

Could it be the billions of corporate cash they will be getting?
Could it be the undying loyalty of the Tee Vee, which blames the Democrats for everything?
Could it be their control of 27 states, with 270 electoral votes, which will allow them to rig the elections?

Now it's out. Again.

And nobody thought to bring the Kochroach spray.

They're gonna shake cash loose from every lower life form in politics for this one - 'cuz it's gonna get ugly before November '12, and the players want to get their "drop dead" money and legal defense funds squared away.
