1. This is rather bizarre

EBs generally have eschewed the politics of secular society. They do not vote, even in countries which have compulsory voting, stating that they believe in the power of prayer in support of good government.

:wtf: So why are they funneling ca$h to the religious wrong around the world?

A committee formed by Taylor EBs in Florida raised $530,000 for the re-election of Bush and of United States Senator Mel Martinez of Florida. $377,262 of this amount came from a single donor, Bruce Hazell, from England.

Did I miss something? Did England become the 51st state? :sarcasm: If not, foreign camapign contributions are prohibited in this country, even from white Christians. :sarcasm: Remember what a stink the repukes raised over Johnny Chung? IOKIYAR (It's OK If You're A Republican), I guess.

edit: I do so know how to spell 'foreign'!
