Ralph Reed, Christianity, and Lobbying: A Cautionary Tale?

I'm not one who believes that constitutional law, liberal political morality, or Christianity contains a prohibition or restriction on religion-inspired expression or activism in the political arena.  Still, this article, in today's New York Times -- about Ralph Reed's perhaps-too-close dealings with lobbyist Jack Abramoff -- contains what strikes me as a helpful warning for all engaged believers.  If, as we've heard, "they will know we are Christians by our love," they might also doubt we are Christians if it appears we are, say, hacks for casino interests.
