This makes Joe very happy

The Christian Coalition is falling apart at the seams. During the heady days of Clinton hunting, they were among the most powerful lobbies in DC. Now, well, when was the last time we have heard from them? This quote from the AP story just makes my heart sing:

"In our prime, we were rated the seventh-most powerful lobbying organization in the country," he said. "Now, there's not even any blip on the radar screen."

The Christian Coalition represents a lot of what I cannot stand about the modern conservative movement and they are among the worst of the bedroom police. More coffin nails please...

Pat Robertson’s brainchild is being crushed by the weight of its own self-righteousness and arrogance. When the national leadership of any organization refuses to listen to the concerns of affiliates, problems always arise. Rank and file members are the backbone of an organization and will not be ignored for long, whether in a union, a political movement, or a company. For a fun exercise, replace the Christian Coalition with Joe Lieberman and the state chapters with Connecticut Democrats and the story is the same.

Sometimes, leadership means listening to those whom you lead, and admitting that you do not always know best.
