Comments on: Video: The White House Gone Fishin’ http://www.frcblog.com/2009/08/video-the-white-house-gone-fishin/ The Blog of Family Research Council Wed, 17 Mar 2010 08:09:56 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Peter777 http://www.frcblog.com/2009/08/video-the-white-house-gone-fishin/comment-page-1/#comment-1807 Peter777 Thu, 13 Aug 2009 21:12:14 +0000 http://www.frcblog.com/?p=1561#comment-1807 There is so much misinformation being put out there that the White House needs to use a net for maximum catches. More power to them, I say. I received, for the first time that I can remember, false information about health care insurance reform through a large prayer chain that I have participated in for years. I asked the leader of the chain to publish more objective and truthful information (which I supplied), but he has not done that. The Christian right (I am myself a Charismatic Christian) needs to clean up its act with respect to truth. But, my opinion is that it is unlikely to happen, as most of the mouths speaking for the Christian Right follow hook, line, and sinker the Republican line and talking points.

Enough is enough. The cacophony of people with sleight of mind and misguided agenda has made this process, which should allow the American people to hear all sides and their corresponding pros and cons, into a circus. Time to fight back.

If enough people write in (I'm serious!) maybe the White House will back off on this.
