Gary Bauer, another "Christian" Liar

Gary Bauer calls himself a Christian.  Yet, when you see he was the President of the very political righwing Family Research Council, it makes sense he would be a liar.  That is what the FRC does--is lie a lot to scare mostly white people about the evils of ....(fill in the blank) and send us a check so we can fight against it!

Link to Bauer's bio here--http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Bauer

But what brings me to a piece on Bauer is his latest lie at the "Values Voter Summit".  He lied about voter fraud giving President Obama a re-election win (if Obama actually wins).  It is true in this country is there is voter fraud, but it is rare.  The real problem when it comes to voting is full scale election fraud and it is perpetrated by Republicans against mostly Democratic voters.  Republicans will purge hundreds of thousands to millions of eligible voters off the rolls to try to ensure victory.  However, when less than 20 cases of "voter fraud" turn up, THAT is the problem according to people like Bauer.

This is a good piece discussing Republican Election Fraud--http://www.uawfordcommunity.com/index.php/news/news-that-matters/political-news/item/197-repubs-election-fraud

The idea of this fraud came from "Christian" rightwinger who helped create the American Legislative Exchange Council.  I would guess Bauer would be very familiar with Weyrich.  They have been trying to suppress the vote at least since 1980.   Yet, Bauer claims to the "Values Voters" that we have rampant voter fraud.  Link--

Now, I don't know about you, but when someone like Bauer who claims he is a Christian can come out with a straight face and lie there is a problem.  It is lying for political power and to raise money. And those "Values Voters" attendees will eat this stuff up.  You know why?  They love the lies because they believe the lies.  I know some "Values Voters" and they believe every crazy rightwing lie you can make up---and they will give the liars money--lots of it.

Sometimes I feel sorry for the fools who give money to people like Bauer whose sole job is to create controversy and disruption to be in the limelight and promote themselves.  These "Values Voters" have numerous avenues not to be blinded and hateful.  Yet, they voluntarily appear to be exactly that.  I remember being in a Bible Study in 2008 and the Values Voters Class was offered and I took it.  One of the values I thought was important was jobs and the economy.  You know what?  The trained "leader" of the group didn't think so, even though George W. Bush and the Republicans crashed our economy.  You know what was important?  The same cultural hot button issues that always were important--abortion, gays, etc.  And this was the exact template the Family Research Council was sending to Churches throughout the USA.

And these will be the same issues for each election until the money for the Family Research Council and other fake Christian groups whose sole purpose is to create division and fundraise dry up.
