I have about 2 cases of them and my brother is having this major party for his gf this Saturday( I have to come up with somthing) . Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Its called the Liquid Cocaine, Southern comfort, amaretto and pineapple juice. Excellent shot or small drink.

This was on CNN. Turns out her opponent faithfully attends a Presbyterian Church.

A friend of mine volunteers at Democratic headquarters. A religious fanatic called her and began to ask if she was a child of God. She told him that his question wasn't relevant to the election, but he continued to rave on, so she had to hang up on him.

At this point I think that many people are not convinced that freedom of religion is desirable, although the founding fathers were not all Christians and certainly didn't believe that the criteria for holding office should include being of the Christian faith.

JFK was questioned about his Catholic religion. At the time people were afraid that his religion would influence his decisions as president. But it is nothing like the wringer Barack Obama has been put through over his Christian faith and the lies being told about his faith. And now the right wing witch hunt seems to be trickling down to congressional candidates. But Sarah Palin has not had to answer questions about the witch hunter, Thomas Muthee, who she credits with praying her into the governorship, probably because Democrats are looking at issues not religion.

I have noticed a rather frightening move toward religious fundamentalism in recent years. The Republican Party has come to depend on the Religious Right to get them elected, and the Religious Right depends on Republicans to push their agenda. Mix in a little patriotism and a dash of NRA and you have a brew guaranteed to make a number of people with different agendas jump on the Republican bandwagon. I am sure that among them are people who genuinely believe in their causes, but it is unfortunate that the religious right wants to mix religion, politics, and government, when our country is founded on separation of church and state. John Adams said that the Government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion, and Sinclair Lewis warned that when facism comes to America it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross. That sounds to me to be very much like what is happening now.
It seems to make no difference that one of the evangelists and McCain supporter blames the people of New Orleans for the hurricane, which destroyed the city. Another blames New Yorkers for 9/11. It is a shame that some evangelists work to divide us, over the very same tragedies that brought us all together as Americans.

"For eight years and four elections, President Bush forged a singular alliance with Christian conservatives — including dispatching administration officials and even cabinet members to address council meetings — that put them at the center of the Republican Party.

Bush's victory not only establishes the power of the American Christian right in this candidacy, but in fact established its power to elect the next Republican president," lamented Arthur Finkelstein in an interview with the Israeli daily Ma'ariv. Finkelstein, who is an advisor to New York's moderate Republican governor George Pataki, added that the "Republican party became the Christian right, the most radical in modern history ever."

Had Bush not cultivated the Christian right as his power base or courted its leadership as his informal advisors, re-election would have been impossible.

Indeed, while the presence of Bush consigliere Karl Rove in the White House blurred the lines between policy and politics, the influence of the Christian right on Bush's domestic agenda formally wedded the familiar bedmates of conservative ideology and Calvinist theology. With a disciplined voting bloc at its disposal, the Christian right pushed for increased influence on the White House in a second Bush term, rallying support for his re-election behind church walls, at stadium-sized rallies and across radio waves – often away from the media's gaze but always in the shadow of the offical Bush/Cheney campaign. And when they helped carry Bush to an unlikely but overwhelming victory on November 2, he – and the Republican party, by extension – were secured as the Christian right's humble servants.

Both Mr. McCain and Mr. Romney worked hard to pitch themselves to Christian conservatives — Mr. McCain by delivering speeches at venues like Mr. Falwell’s Liberty University or a recent abstinence-promotion event, Mr. Romney by leading the charge for a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.

The Council for National Policy was founded 25 years ago by the Rev. Tim LaHaye as a forum for conservative Christians to strategize about turning the country to the right. Its secrecy was intended to insulate the group from what its members considered the liberal bias of the news media. In recent years the group has brought together a cross-section of the right from Edwin J. Feulner to Wayne LaPierre of the National Rifle Association."

BOB DOLE ROCK!!!!!!!!!!

Nobody questions Bob Dole. Only Bob Dole questions Bob Dole.

Does anyone know what happened to that Dole Pear juice they had a few years back? It was so refreshing. It was almost like taking a bite into a pear.

Problem with imports(it comes from the Philippines) in making people sick.
