Family-values group mired in a divorce (Christian Coalition of America)

The Christian Coalition of America (CCA), once a formidable political voice whose advocacy for traditional family values helped propel the Republican Party to power, finds itself at the center of a nasty divorce between top employees.

The proceeding involves Tracy Ammons, CCA’s former Senate lobbyist and outreach coordinator, and Michele Combs, CCA vice president for communications and the daughter of CCA President Roberta Combs.

Combs and Ammons were wed in December 1999, but their marriage soon disintegrated and was replaced with lawsuits, countersuits and even jail time over relatively small amounts of money that hinge on custody of their 3 1/2-year-old child.

“While the nation debates traditional marriage versus gay marriage, the president of the Christian Coalition, Roberta Combs, is encouraging and bankrolling a nasty, hardball divorce by her own daughter,” said Jonathon Moseley, an attorney for Ammons.

2. Isn't it great how conservatives uphold the sanctity of marriage

However, this is none of our business. I'm sure there exists a perfectly plausible christian conservative explanation for all the hate. ITS CLINTON'S FAULT they are getting a divorce.

Pretty pathetic huh lurkers.

3. Sign away his parental rights?!

Unless there is proof of abuse involved, there is no justification for tearing away a child from a parent. How cruel! Oh, those repuke family values. Still, this does not affect the sanctity of my marriage....gay weddings on the other hand :eyes:

4. "once a formidable political voice"

If the CC isn't what it used to be it doesn't mean the power of reich-wing fundies has abated. Not one bit. There are so many other rw groups to join the fight.

To be more on topic I find these stories of the holier than thou crowd more than slightly amusing. Family values my ass.

5. In case a "Christian" might care what Christ had to say about this

Mark 10
6 "But at the beginning of creation God `made them male and female.'
7 `For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,
8 and the two will become one flesh.' So they are no longer two, but one.
9 Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."
10 When they were in the house again, the disciples asked Jesus about this.
11 He answered, "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her.
12 And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery."

1 Corinthians 7
10 To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband.
