Well, Ralph Reed and Pat Robertson can glory in this strategy
According to Christian Coalition executive director Ralph Reed, it is
"...just good strategy. It's like guerilla warfare.... It's better to move quietly,
with stealth, under cover of night... It comes down to whether you want to
be the British Army in the Revolutionary War, or the Viet Cong." At a
Religious Right conference in Denver last year, participants were instructed in
tactics that include:
> * Hide your affiliation and true agenda
> * Use the gay issue to raise funds for the cause
> * Always cover your tracks; always use local front men - a wacko if
necessary
> * Appeal to people's fears of society and change
> * Appeal to American's worst impulses
> * Remember that "tension will provide the winning edge for candidates"
> * Lie, if necessary

IT WORKED FOR THEM
