The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

Minneapolis also has (or at least had a decade ago), a couple strip clubs that actually served decent food. The perfect escape for when you're on a business trip and and want to get some dinner and yet be absolutely certain you won't run into any coworkers. I don't know if that works for Republican conventions.

Probably not.

Well since there are Republicans interested in sexual innuendo in bathroom stalls and with office interns who knows? LOL

FINALLY THE TRUTH IS REVEALED!!

Huckabee Supporters were not mostly Evangelicals...they were mostly poor.

I am a follower of Christ but I refuse to be labeled as an Evangelical. In the past few months it bothered...no....offended me to be labeled as such because of the overly NEGATIVE connotation the label comes with. Plus I am not a Social Conservative. I disagreed with Huckabee on those issues but his views on them helped me choose my candidate. Out of all the other major GOP candidates Huckabee was the only one with consistent views on social issues. Why did that make a difference? It gave Huckabee an aura of trust and authenticity that no one else had. I felt I could trust him with the issues I did agree with him on.

I don't mind being labeled as "poor" because I am...economically speaking.

In other news More and more evangelicals are now Democrats.

My BIL was in charge of a new members meeting at an Evangelical Free Church (E-Free, they call themselves). He began to explain that the following Saturday, volunteers from the church would canvass the area to invite unchurched neighbors to worship.

"But I thought," objected one new member in the audience, "that this denomination doesn't evangelize. We're E-Free - you know, like Fat-Free, Sugar-Free, Pepsi Free, E-Free?"

The U.S. Supreme Court just pwned the Bush Administration for the THIRD TIME about the prisoners at Guantanemo ... ruling they do have recourse to the U.S. judicial system to challenge their detainment, and that nothing the Congress or Administration has done to get around their two prior rulings is a sufficient substitute for such judicial access.

FVCK YOU GEORGE BUSH. You are a freaking TYRANT!
