Wonder if Ralph Reed set this up..FUNNY ..ROFL
Edited on Sat Aug-14-04 11:49 PM by vetwife
KENNESAW, Ga.USA - Voices hush around the patio table as Rick Lamborn poses his first discussion question during a Christian youth group meeting at a popular restaurant.

The topic this night is consistent relationships, and Lamborn begins by asking the college-age group, "How does inconsistency negatively affect your relationships with others?"

As responses sprinkle in, a blonde in a tight white tank top and orange hot pants quietly scoots up to the table. She joins the discussion for a few minutes then has to scurry back to her boisterous customers inside.

Interactions like these, that bring faith to the uninitiated, are one of the reasons why Single Focus Atlanta has chosen to meet at a Hooters restaurant every week for the past four years.

According to the Article..They go there to introduce them to the Lord ! I guess there is so much campaigning at church, thats not the place to introduce sinners to the Lord. RoFL

5. Ralph Reed "The Right Hand of God"

By election time in 1994 Christian Coalition distributed 40 million copies of the "Family Values Voter's Guide" in more than 100,000 churches nationwide. 1994 was the year Republicans took control of Congress for the first time in 40 years. It was also the year that Republicans made a huge gain in State Legislatures.

The purpose of focusing on state legislative races was so that Republicans could gerrymander Congressional Districts. To be sure, both parties have used the practice of gerrymandering to their advantage, but, in recent years, Republicans have elevated this practice to new heights.

Up until 1994, Democrats held strong majorities in both houses of most State Legislatures. In 1992 Democrats had majorities in both bodies of twenty-five legislatures, Republicans eight. In 1994, Democrats had majorities in eighteen, Republicans, nineteen. By 2003, Democrats had sixteen, Republicans, twenty-one.

Time Magazine, in May, 1995, called Ralph Reed "The Right Hand of God" and credited the Christian Coalition with giving the Republicans their victories. Out of forty-five new members in the U.S. House of Representatives and nine in the U.S. Senate in 1994, roughly half were Christian Coalition candidates.

1996, 45 million voter guides were sent out.

In 2000, 75 million voter guides were sent out to support George Bush.

FEC: Ralph Reed's Enron Deal Worth More than Half a Million

Tuesday, March 11, 2003

WASHINGTON — In a controversy that touched White House political adviser Karl Rove, Enron Corp. signed contracts with GOP consultant Ralph Reed worth more than half a million dollars, the Federal Election Commission revealed in a ruling.

Enron paid Reed, the former Christian Coalition leader, about $300,000 before the energy company's collapse.

The payments came to light as part of an FEC inquiry into whether Enron's hiring of GOP consultant Reed was a sham designed to disguise an in-kind contribution from Enron to Bush's presidential effort.

In dismissing a complaint against Rove and the Bush-Cheney presidential campaign, the FEC disclosed that the Enron-Reed ties involved far more money than has previously been reported.

The FEC said that just months before Enron filed for bankruptcy in 2001 it entered into a one-year contract paying Reed $30,000 a month plus expenses. The contract was for "ongoing advice and counsel to Enron" in pushing deregulation in the energy industry. The FEC ruling says that the agreement apparently was cut short after four months as Enron careened toward bankruptcy.

11. Someone ought to ask Ralphie how that
money-laundering case he is involved in is working out. Funny, they have him on all the talk shows, speaking as Mr. Morality and Values, and no one ever sees fit to bring it up. And what is the story with his hair? It reminds me of Ed Grimley's.

16. If you want people to navigate from the Cafe Shop website
to your other websites, I suggest putting text-links to the other websites on top of the Cafe Shop webpage.

It isn't obvious that the flag is a link.

18. A little bit of fine-tuning, and VOILA! A brand new joke!
Why do you always bring two Baptists with you to Hooters?

Because if you just bring one, he'll drink the pitcher of beer you ordered.
