U.S. Reps. Zach Wamp, R-Chattanooga;
Bart Stupak, D-Mich.;
Jim DeMint, R-S.C.;
and Mike Doyle, D-Pa.;
and U.S. Sens. John Ensign, R-Nev.;
and Sam Brownback, R-Kan

Those are some very strange names. Anyone else suspect aliens?

Bart must be an alien. Look at that strange white thing coming out of his head!

I'd buy that for a dollar!

Where do the other half of Majestic-12 live?

two-thirds of them Republicans... what a shock!

Why is this news?

LBJ went to Washington dirt poor and when he left the Whitehouse he was a multi-millionaire.How did he do this only on a government paycheck?


Demand term limits for Congressman and Senators and this sort of crap will subside.

There was a big article about the Fellowship in last month's Harper's magazine print edition, which revealed a bit more about these guys....they're way more cultish than the AP piece has time to portray them:

"They forge 'relationships' beyond the din of vox populi (the Family's leaders consider democracy a manifestation of ungodly pride) and 'throw away religion' in favor of the truths of the Family. Declaring God's covenant with the Jews broken, the group's core members call themselves 'the new chosen.' [....] At Ivanwald, men learn to be leaders by loving their leaders. 'They're so busy loving us,' a brother once explained to me, ' but who's loving them?'

In addition to the Senators outed by the AP, it also includes Sen. Nickles (R,Okla), Sen. Grassley (R, Iowa), Sen. Domenici (R, N.Mex), Sen. Inhofe (R, Okla), Sen Nelson (D, barely, FL), and Sen Burns (R, Mont). Also add Republican Representatives Wolf, Pitts, and Wamp.

They also don't let women into their political meetings. Oh, and here's a great quote: "People separate it out. Oh, okay, I got religion, that's private. As if Jesus doesn't know anything about building highways, or Social Security. We gotta take Jesus out of the religious wrapping."

I am not shiatting you. They think Jesus knows how to build highways. I'll give them that he was a carpenter, but highways? And Social Security?!

Sounds like the Masons

Church and State re-marry, no longer seperated.

/bad joke

How long before they turn this into a crappy reality show?

Which part, Wldncrzy14, 6 congressmen, or the crazy cult?

Oh great....two reality shows.

The Fellowship?

Anyone play oldskool Ultima?

<--- fellowship medallion

So when can we expect the Guardian to arrive?

wow, I woulda guessed they'd ALL be republicans.

With a sample size of only SIX, 2/3rd of them Republican is still pretty close to 50/50.

I like hats.

I'm wondering when this thread is gonna self-burninate....

600? Kinda high.

Here's the enigamtic leader of The Fellowship:



/I'm such a farking dork

I'd hit 'em.

Literally.

Uh oh, Zionist conspiracy! Take cover!

This reminds me of Eyes Wide Shut.

Majestic-12 - hee hee

If they form their own religious group, they can probably get tax exempt status and really be "in the money".

Nothin says xians values like living in posh houses for (basicaly) free while ignoring D.C.'s horrendous poverty issues and cutting taxes for the wealthiest amiercans.

Do they sleep in bunk beds?

GEE that is hard to believe.

... and the sad thing is, in this courtry, thats what xian values actually are.

Who controls the British Crown?
Who keeps the metric system down?
We do! We do!

Who keeps Atlantis off the maps?
Who keeps the Martians under wraps?
We do! We do!

Who holds back the electric car?
Who makes Steve Guttenberg a star?
We do! We do!

Who robs cave fish of their sight?
Who rigs every Oscar night?
We do! We do!

They forgot to mention the basement, where the pods are grown.

Considering that Marion Barry was re-elected in that area some time ago, anything stupid does little to shock me.

How did they vote on the war with Iraq?

/Oliver Stone

i just hope they turn out to be one of the kool-aid cults and take care of themselves...

The fellowship are Russian spies!


"Something has been troubling you Senator. It's about classified document 182.18c isn't it? Yes, the lord asked me to give you counsel."


/i got nothing

In this era of information where the slightest hint of inpropriety can and does destroy public figures, I wonder if this is an attempted suicide by these guys (the elected officials who are tennants).

I predict that this thread will die with under 400 posts.

On a side note, outing the unwilling seems like a fun job. Where do I sign on to the AP Conspiracy Squad?

I don't mind these guys renting the rooms, as long as they are home when the cool-aid is passed out.

Nothing suspicious here, nope! Move along!

Well, at least that all aren't named John and the house is owned by Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems.

love that movie

Foucault's Pendulum?

So, we've got six guys, no women, no booze, probably no good cable TV, no weed, and they're living there to "forge relationships". No exactly "Animal House" ...

GRASSLEY TOO!!

Man, around halloween when people around town put up those stupid signs election signs in the yard we used to always ride our bikes around town running them over.

I should start that tradtion up again next election but go for only the grassley ones!

R-chattanooga?

I bet if these guys were all paying a $1000 or more in rent a month, some of you people would be whining about the religious group making money.

$1000 a month?!

Damn Christians!

Congressmen get a good deal on housing.... This is big news how?

Skull and Bones? Oh, sorry, it's the White House they own...
