1. The alcohol and beverage corps support the RNC

It's not just Coors. It's not just beer.

Drink tap water. It's free

Cut your cable. TV is free

[Sabriel]

6. Drink imports, preferably from non-"Coalition" countries

Or, local micro-brews. Either way, be prepared to spend a lot.

[flygal]

8. Micro Brews - or make your own :)

[Pepperbelly]

9. rolling rock for tap water? no way, dude. you've gone from preaching to

meddling.

[sangh0]

15. Democracy is more important than beer

And you're damned right, I'm meddling.

[Abelman]

23. Oooh

I smell BUMPER STICKER!

[PittLib]

2. I wish it was more of a sacrifice ...

making a political statement and all...
but really, it just a matter of good taste. :)

[ladjf]

3. That's a great place to start. With his public ally visible product

he was stupid to run for office. Believe me, if every single one of the 70 million Democrats refused to drink Coors beer,it would be
bankrupt city and quickly.

[Pepperbelly]

4. watered down bear piss ...

Yuck!

Makes my head hurt thinking about the toxic shit.

11. Hey, newsmeat, I'm bummed

I searched Newsmeat and found out my favorite on-line discount place is a big Theocon contributer: Sierra Trading Post. Rats.

7. What other co.s/brands are big GOP sponsers?

I think we need a list, so we can avoid as much as possible.

Anyone?

[mopaul]

10. searching

[goddess40]

12. They have that crap at our curling club

I would never drink it because Coors's is anti-union, sometimes violently.

[RapidCreek]

13. Adolph Coors was/is a NAZI...You didn't know that?

[quiet.american]

16. Not only that

Not only that, according to RFK, Jr:

"Coors also founded the right-wing Heritage Foundation, which has provided the philosophical underpinning of the anti-environmental movement. The Heritage Foundation's function is to produce short, concise policy analyses of fast-breaking issues. These simple position papers go out to thousands of news directors and journalists, congressional offices, public officials and hate-radio jocks....From its inception the Heritage Foundation urged its followers "to strangle the environmental movement."

14. I drink imported only

Cheap American beer is nasty. It has an aftertaste that bears a strong resemblance to piss. No one I know touches it, not even (upper-class) Republicans who prefer to drink the better imported stuff anyway.

So who the heck likes to drink piss? I would imagine the cheap American brands ('redneck beer') are most popular in the South and Midwest

[seabeyond]

17. my hubby stopped drinking coors

a couple years ago because i was pissed at the soft porn commercial during football games that my 5 and 7 year old boys got to watch, cause of the pig coor guy.

he is a pig in so many ways. the one grace in this election, he didnt win. i dont know why. maybe salazar got so many on him even theft didnt do it

by the way glad you are out of your fetal drooling terret position. up and off the floor, bah ha ha. four more beers, how about just two more. tecata with lime

[JAbuchan08]

18. I have ALWAYS hated Coors. It is the WORST beer in America

with the exception of a certain bright yellow beer that tasted of mildew I drank in an Irish pub once. BTW the absolute best beer is The Reverend (or was it The Monk?) - but only if you have a long time to get sober.

and I'm from Colorado, you would think with all the microbreweries we would know the difference between Coors and real beer: if you send it to the lab they'll inform you that your horse has diabetes.

19. Favorite Dan Rather election night one liner on P. Coor's failed

Senate bid. "Well that puts a Silver Bullet through the heart of his U.S. Senate campaign."

Okay not as funny as Python........

[eleny]

20. Dintcha know????

That "Rocky Mountain Spring Water" gets it's flavor from all the sheep upstream? Golden isn't just the town where they brew it, baby!

{{{mopaul}}} I'm always grateful for your posts.

[Abelman]

21. NOOOO!

Despite the protests, I have always enjoyed the silver bullet.

Ah well. I guess I'll stick to microbrews like Bell's.

[graywarrior]

22. I heard Coors sponsors the largest gay & lesbian festivals in the US

[goddess40]

24. I don't understand that myself

is it some twisted thing like a feast day for the slaves?

[NewJeffCT]

25. I've not had Coors since the 80s when I found that out

Not that I drink much beer of any brand...

And, it's why I try to avoid Wal-Mart whenever I can. The Walton family gives heavily to RW causes, including school voucher programs.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

26. That's why they hired Mary Cheney to be their liason the the GLBT

community.

For many years, Coors products were not sold in most gay bars due to their rabid support of Jesse Helms and his efforts to block aids funding as well as his homophobic rhetoric.

27. Joseph Coors was at the heart of the extreme right-wing

He's dead now -- died last year -- but in the 70's and 80's he was to be found wherever there was toxic right-wing extremism going on.

In 1973, Coors provided the startup money for Paul Weyrich's Heritage Foundation, and he and Weyrich set up the Free Congress Foundation together. Weyrich is an avowed elitist, inventor of the "culture wars," promoter of conservative counter-revolution, and an associate and admirer of many fascists.

Coors was a Reagan supporter going back to 1968 and the most prominent member of Reagan's kitchen cabinet, with great influence on administration hiring. Eventually, the presence of Coors and his multi-millionarie buddies in the Executive Office Building grew so embarrassing that the White House staff itself declared that it was illegal for a private group to occupy government property and threw them out.

Citizens for America, a right-wing think tank, was founded by Coors and Lewis Lehrman and operated out of the Heritage Foundation. Coors was also a member of High Frontier, a leading pro-SDI group that was funded by the Heritage Foundation as well.

And Coors funded the World Anti-Communist League in the 1980's, when it was not only inviting old Nazis to its meetings and funnelling aid to the Contras but was also teaching the skills of thuggery to Latin American death squads.

Altogether a not-nice guy.
