So I saw this story in an email. It include stuff from CBN so I won't link to it. Anyway, this Vision America group, who I'm sure produced "completely non-partisan" voter guides to be handed out in Texas churches, had someone "sneak" into some churches and replaced them with some "pro-Beto" guides (actual voter guides that truly are "truthful and non-partisan"
Anyway, it's nice to see folks fighting back against this religion-politics unholy alliance. Anything that bothers Pat "Make Pussy Grabbing Christian Again" Robertson upset is fine with me...and long overdue.
Nice Job!

John Graves, president of Vision America tells CBN News he's not surprised to see Republicans losing a grip on the conservative stronghold.
"I've been telling people for years Texas is trending that way," explained Graves. "Donald Trump won Ohio by 8.1 percent, he won Texas by 9 percent people think of Ohio as a purple state, they don't think of Texas as one."
Vision America works with pastors to encourage Christians around the country to vote and participate in elections. Their nonpartisan voter guide for Texas shows where both candidates stand on issues like the Supreme Court, right to life, and protecting religious liberty. Over the weekend, however, an unknown person made fraudulent copies of the guides changing the text of the issues and mixed them into piles passed out at multiple churches in Texas.
"They snuck into churches to deceive church members," said Graves. "I've been around this for over 25 years and I've never seen or heard anything like that."
O'Rourke has seen support from some pro-life women in Texas unhappy with the families being separated at the border, and the fake guide claims Senator Cruz supports this. Cruz told CBN News he strongly opposes the policy.

For 25 years, it appears that only Vision America has been given carte blanche to "deceive church members". 'Bout fucking time someone pushed back on this shit!!

On Supreme Court - Cruz wants "strict constructionist and constitutionalist - Beto wants judges that will make your kids gay!!!
On religious freedom - Cruz wants all white god-fearing people to do whatever the hell they want in the name of "JAY-SUS" - Beto well, have you hear of Sharia Law????
These are probably about as non-partisan as a Sean Hannity circle-jerk

But give one of their Red Rats so much as a sideways glance and look at the outrage hahahaha...
On Edit: I'm not saying I approve (I think, given all things being equal, we would kick their ass on the merits of the argument pretty much every time. All things are NOT EQUAL when it comes to the kind of fuckings they can buy on their own behalf).
