Cycle of Deceit, Part 2 Huey’s Christian Agenda Shorts Facts and Jesusnew

In Part 1 of this story, we described how Republican candidate for the 36th Congressional District, Craig Huey promotes a circle of deceit with regard to economics and budget issues: He pumps up hysteria, which makes it easier to believe false or exaggerated claims, which in turn fuels further hysteria and the belief in even more false or exaggerated claims. We took on economics first, because it’s easier to nail down facts involving hard numbers, and thus make clear what Huey is doing. This issue, we turn our attention to Huey’s religious conservatism and related electoral activism.

Cycle of Deceit, Part 1— Questioning Craig Huey’s Made-Up Economic “Facts”new

On May 23, Random Lengths News contacted the Craig Huey’s 36th Congressonial District campaign, seeking a Wednesday interview. The initially promising response soon turned sour. The campaign deployed one excuse after another not to sit with the paper. “There were other interviews,” “there were campaign events,” and “there were fundraising calls.” Eventually, RLN was told the interview could not be done that week, which would make it impossible to run in this issue. One thing remained constant: The strong sense that there were questions we would ask, that Craig Huey did not want to answer—that he was afraid to face. We have posted the first half of those questions on our website, for readers to see and judge.
