Lying for God

AMERICAblog: A blog for a great nation that deserves the truth: "Theocrats use dirty tricks and lie in elections
by Joe in DC - 9/25/2006 08:32:00 AM

The 'Values Voters' met in DC for their election conference this weekend. The meeting was filled with their usual hate rhetoric. But, they gave some insight in to their tactics -- which include deception and lies:

In a workshop, Connie Marshner, a veteran organizer, distributed a step-by-step guide that recommended obtaining church directories and posing as a nonpartisan pollster to ask people how they planned to vote.

“Hello, I am with ABC polls,” a suggested script began.

Some attendees complained that the script seemed deceptive, Ms. Marshner said in an interview afterward. She said that such disguised calls were a common campaign tactic, that it was just a suggested script and that she never recommended answering a direct question with a lie.


And these are the people who pride themselves on their devout religious views. They'll do anything it takes to impose their theocratic agenda."
