Perhaps, if Connie actually knew what she was doing, she would not constantly be connected to scam artists and have to make silly excuses or decline to answer questions.

You know, it really doesn't matter, because they've duped enough people who will believe what she says, and who will keep sending money no matter how few results they see, just because they believe in The Cause.

So Connie, the Sheldons, Mary Parker Lewis, Alan Keyes, and plenty of others will continue to make a very good living, while people who probably can't really afford it will continue to send donations in hopes of seeing results.

The people who are sending money to these groups, I believe, are good, sincere, well-meaning people, who can't (or maybe don't want to) believe that groups claiming to be founded on moral, religious, and conservative principles might in reality be scam artists.

What exactly is "The Cause"?

[nopardons]

Causes are fine, but what isn't so "fine", is that many of those who are so emotionally tied to the cause that they not only won't look at the facts, but refuse to hear any negative facts put forth, at all. That really does make them mind numbed robots.

The scammers just keep on moving from one scam to another, lining their collective pockets. They don't care who they bilk, nor who or what cause they hurt; they have theirs and that's all that matters to them.
