Don't talk about the C Street house.

...it's like a fight club.

Zach Wamp is another free trade zealot at C Street. Like his fellow Christian members, he supported CAFTA. At the time Wamp conceded that America’s trade policies were unpopular but defended his vote remarking that the trade agreement was beneficial to his native Tennessee. In the never ending race to the bottom, Wamp said that “if we ever want to compete with China, we must build alliances in our region with countries - like these CAFTA partners - so we can preserve American jobs and not lose any more manufacturing jobs to China or the Pacific Rim.” The southerner then went on to explain his other reasons for supporting the trade agreement. “During this critical time in American history,” he declared, “we are facing multiple national security implications for U.S. leadership and the Western hemisphere. The influences of communism and dictatorships are on the rise to our South.”

Warming to his theme, Wamp continued “in Venezuela, Hugo Chávez rules with an 'iron fist' and stands ready to team up with his mentor, Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, to expand their influence in these Central American countries. Countries such as Nicaragua and El Salvador impacted by CAFTA must see the United States as a partner - not the adversary - so this region can be stable and secure.” Raising the alarm bell, Wamp continued “instability in Central America might also jeopardize U.S. border security. Should the Communists succeed in spreading their philosophies and regimes throughout Central America, even more illegal aliens will want to flee their countries and cross our southern border.”

Wamp has also signed on as a co-sponsor to legislation which condemns former Honduran President Manuel Zelaya. The resolution chastises Zelaya for forging close ties with Chávez and Cuban rulers Fidel and Raul Castro and for joining the Bolivarian Alternative of the Americas (ALBA), an anti-free trade initiative including Venezuela, Bolivia, Cuba and Nicaragua.

So now we have secret cults working the Republicanazi party.... they have gone so far astray from democracy that the Republicans are simply no longer a viable party of the opposition.

I'm starting to think the GOP is not a politcal party, but a cult.

nothing more than whiney, wimpy white men who are drama queens?

What are the odds they are having man on man sex there?

Wasn't he one of the pod racers in Episode 1?

I feel like I have been wamped on the head after listening to Lindsey Graham's line of questions to Judge Sotomayor. Some crazy shit can come outta that man's mouth. He repeated his thing about if he had said what she did about a wise Latina he would have been ruined. But this time he went one step beyond. He said if he was running for Senator and said he would make a better senator because he was a white male and his competitor was a member of a minority it would be all over the news. Is Lindsey saying men are a minority group?

Another fine performance and reasoned presentation made by the Rachel Maddow Show. √

Here's Publishers Weekly review of the book "The Family" (from Amazon book site):

Checking in on a friend's brother at Ivenwald, a Washington-based fundamentalist group living communally in Arlington, Va., religion and journalism scholar Sharlet finds a sect whose members refer to Manhattan's Ground Zero as "the ruins of secularism"; intrigued, Sharlet accepts on a whim an invitation to stay at Ivenwald. He's shocked to find himself in the stronghold of a widespread "invisible" network, organized into cells much like Ivenwald, and populated by elite, politically ambitious fundamentalists; Sharlet is present when a leader tells a dozen men living there, "You guys are here to learn how to rule the world." As it turns out, the Family was established in 1935 to oppose FDR's New Deal and the spread of trade unions; since then, it has organized well-attended weekly prayer meetings for members of Congress and annual National Prayer Breakfasts attended by every president since Eisenhower. Further, the Family's international reach ("almost
impossible to overstate") has "forged relationships between the U.S. government and some of the most oppressive regimes in the world." In the years since his first encounter, Sharlet has done extensive research, and his thorough account of the Family's life and times is a chilling expose.

Figures a Christian organization would name itself after a street of bribe-giving, law-buying lobbyists.

I love you Rachel, now stop being Keith, you're way above that.

Cults rarely like to have people snooping into their business.
