Conservative Christian Leaders Already Attacking Kay Bailey Hutchison

As expected, the Christian Right is already heaping scorn on Kay Bailey Hutchison in the 2010 race for governor.
Hutchison, who has never been the darling of the Christian Right, is being criticized for–of all things–for transferring millions from her federal campaign account to her state campaign account. It comes from none other than Rick Scarborough, the founder of Vision America:
“As a Texas conservative I am appalled by this action and call upon Senator Hutchison to do the ethically and morally right thing by writing everyone who contributed to her national campaign and offering to refund their contribution. Conservatives in Texas and around the country contributed to Senator Hutchison’s campaign to fight liberals in Washington; not conservatives in Texas.
“Rick Perry has his detractors in Texas and I have been openly critical of some of his positions as Governor, but he is solidly pro-life and pro-family and Texas has prospered under his able leadership. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, who is pro-choice, is apparently willing to expose her own Party in Washington to a possible filibuster proof Democratic majority by vacating her seat as US Senator, while simultaneously dividing her Party in Texas with a costly and politically divisive bid to be Governor which is not warranted.”
I’m sure this is little more than the first salvo in a long, long battle.
