You're a big help to the Democrat traitors, David Kuo, and you're trying to split the Republicans apart for the election.
Who do you work for?
From his whining about the "poor," I suspect that he's already a Democrat - and probably a little light in the loafers too. But I repeat myself.
No, the Republican Establishment too often acts more like the Democrat traitors and basically only pays lipservice to the base and I quite frankly the Republicans have no one to blame but themselves for a loss this congressional election cycle.

Thanks David Kuo for throwing the bigass monkey-wrench into the geers of victory.
Who do you work for?
". David Kuo was senior vice president of communications at Value America.com. He worked for the CIA and for a US senator, and has been a journalist and speechwriter. He lives in Virginia with his wife, Kim."

snipped from link at bottom:
Ralph Reed and David Kuo: The former chief strategist for Robertson's Christian Coalition, who subsequently left to form a political consultancy operation, Century Strategies, Ralph Reed has played a vital role in building up John Ashcroft as the leading choice of the extreme right for president, and in defending his nomination to be attorney general.[10]
Reed's relationship with Ashcroft is close, as is illustrated by the case of J. David Kuo, one of Ashcroft's top former aides. Kuo, whose resume sports a one-year stint as intelligence officer at the CIA, went from working as Ashcroft's policy director -- a key strategic post -- to become managing director of strategic communications for Reed's Century Strategies,[11] from where he supported the Ashcroft for president campaign.[12] According to the Heritage Foundation, Kuo co-authored Ralph Reed's most recent book, Active Faith.[13] Kuo also served on the start-up team,[14] and as deputy policy director at Empower America, William Bennett's think tank, whose founding chairman was New York financier Ted Forstmann,[15] and whose directors include Trent Lott and Bush Defense Secretary-designate Donald Rumsfeld.[16]
It will be interesting to see where Kuo ends up should Ashcroft be confirmed. Kuo is a longtime promoter of "charitable choice" -- a code word for the right wing for giving religious institutions access to government social services budgets -- also a major passion of Ashcroft. In January 1996, Kuo became executive director of the Center for Effective Compassion, which was founded by Arianna Huffington and Marvin Olasky -- G.W. Bush's "compassionate conservatism" guru who is currently tipped to be head of a proposed White House Office of Faith-Based Programs.
In 1996, Kuo founded the American Compass,[17] a Virginia-based operation partly funded by right wing financier Richard Mellon Scaife's Scaife Family Foundation.[18] American Compass, whose directors included Ashcroft and Olasky,[19] was designed to promote religious involvement in social service provision, which it did in part by sponsoring (along with Foster Friess, a Greenville, Delaware-based fund manager and member of the far right Council for National Policy) a tour of key right wing politicians supporting such measures, including John Ashcroft and J.C. Watts. The tour "was timed," according an article posted on J.C. Watts' website, "to coincide with the beginning of welfare reform."[20]
American Compass received $100,000 from the Scaife Family Foundation from 1988-1999 for the Samaritan Awards, which were designed to promote small religious charities that perform their activities without any government dollars. The Samaritan Award judges in 1997 included David Kuo of The American Compass, Jeb Bush of the Foundation for Florida's Future, Whitney Ball of the Philanthropy Roundtable, Kay Coles James of Regent University, Marvin Olasky, and Rev. Robert A. Sirico the president of the Acton Institute.[21]
There is a longstanding relationship between Kuo, Reed and Ashcroft, important enough for Ralph Reed to mention in his announcement that he was leaving the Christian Coalition:[22]
"I'm going to be working closely with the American Compass and with my good friend Senator John Ashcroft and Steve Largent at that organization. (...) Secondly, I'm going to be forming a new company called Century Strategies, that will offer and provide, at affordable prices, quality consulting services for campaigns and for pro-life, pro-family and pro-free enterprise candidates at every level of government. I expect this new company to be very active in the 1998 elections, first on dozens of campaigns, and eventually on hundreds of campaigns across the country. Our main focus will be on building a "farm team" of state legislators, school board members and other local officeholders who I believe hold the key to the future of our country."

THIS GUY HAS BEEN WORKING WITH THE DLC SINCE THE LATE 90'S.
"David Kuo is co-founder of The American Compass, an organization that evaluates and funds the most effective social service organizations serving people in need."
I believe that this guy is typical of some evangelicals who jumped onto the "redistribution of wealth" bandwagon at the end of the 80s. If you read what he says, he laments the fact that evangelicals focus on "abortion, homesexuality" etc rather than taking care of the poor.
He doesn't see the connection between abortion and the devaluing of human life...especially the poor. (My mother tells of the time in the 70s BEFORE Roe v Wade when her extremely liberal friends firmly stood for abortion in order to "get rid of all the poor unwanted kids" and get them off welfare.)
Anyone who would tell Christians to stay home and not vote is ...well, you fill in the blank!
