Ralph Reed on $20,000 retainer for Microsoft

Tue, 04/26/2005 - 16:17 — kebernet

Microsoft recently changed its "pro" stance on same-sex benefits to "neutral", to quite a bit of hullabaloo. Could it be because they have Mr. Christian Coalition on a $20,000 retainer for his "Strategies" group? Hmmmm...

What a disgrace. That Ralph Reed sure has a nice racket though.
Oh, and find me one person that's seen Steve Balmer who doesn't think that guy screams homophobe.

Thats crazy. I mean I know its a "strategy" for the company and companies lobby like hell, sure, but Ralph Reed? They dont think "well what if it gets out that we hired Ralph Reed, man that could be bad publicity", or is it just me and Ralph is mainstream not a big deal now? (I find him incredibly offensive and ignorant, but I seem to be the minority in lots of things in the states nowadays.)

It begins as I guessed above . . .

Microsoft draws new fire for lobbyist ties

We cant stop whomever MS hires, its a private company and they can do what they want, but we can affect this if we really want to "Reed is now a candidate for lieutenant governor in his home state of Georgia".
