Distorting the DHL Deal

I work at DHL in Northern Kentucky, about an hour south of the facility that "may" be shut down. I work with the Wilmington Hub on a daily basis. The contract has not been signed and they haven't been told when they will be let go. There is a lot of speculation and rumors, but not a lot of facts. They are leaving out the fact that 2 years ago 1000 employees were let go when DHL moved to Wilmington. They are also leaving out the fact that if the contract is signed, 1000's of jobs will be available in Lousiville KY. Wilmington claims that DHL was nothing before the Hub move was complete which is completely false. This all comes down to the money that city of Wilmington received from DHL, do they really care about the workers? Stop crying Wilmington and find another job, there is a new GE plant opening that you can work at. I much rather have DHL sacrifice the 8000 in Ohio than the 40,000 nationwide. I was a Obama supporter until now, I now see that he does not speak the truth. Go McCain.

MCCAIN: "And I led the investigation."

It was a scandal that rocked the country, linking all the way to the Bush White House and Republicans in Congress, sending two former Republican Congressmen to prison.

But, now, desperate to raise campaign cash to run more negative attack ads, John McCain is cozying up to Jack Abramoff's cronies.

Ralph Reed, a key business partner of Jack Abramoff helped the convicted former Republican lobbyist launder 2 million dollars through a front group to finance a gambling campaign.

Now, Ralph Reed has signed up to raise money for John McCain. Reed has even been appointed to McCain's Victory 2008 Team.

Ralph Reed's murky connections to Jack Abramoff run so deep, it cost him a race for Lt. Governor in Georgia.

While most people now see Ralph Reed as a tainted man raising tainted money, John McCain sees him as a source of campaign cash cow.

John McCain is a mere mirage of himself

It is a sad state of affairs when a lie is okay cause you feel somone lied about your man. The countries standards have been lowered so far it is not funny. The truth does not matter anymore to many as long as it's done with their cause in mind. What kind of world will our kids have to look foward to? Who can they believe? What can they believe? Can they trust anyone? For you that are cool with this I feel sorry for you and your misguided moral compass.

If you can't afford a business and want to make all the money for your self then go, there will always be someone else to take your place, this has been going on for a long time, in this country we help our people and the needy you are not going to change this, we want Americans who care about Americans, just go

If we could get the past 8-10 months back knowing what we know now....Would either of these candidates still be standing? I doubt it. Hillary totally blew it. The Republicans had no one that made much headway except for Huckabee and he's too conservative for most. Despite what many say, racism or whatever one wants to call it hurt Romney's chances too.I don't know what to do but pray for our counrty and the hope for the best.

Since when is it o.k. for MCShame to distort information, but it's not o.k. for Obama???
Just shows how prejudice the press is; and it's disgusting!!!!!

Obama's ads distort mccains deal?

So.

I have to agree with Murray Rizberg. When John McCain attack Barack Obama with some distortion or lie, we hardly hear about it. If there is any distortion coming from Obama, we see a full page analysis of that distortion like we see here. The media's bias in favor of McCain is so obvious and I think a lot of intelligent people will see through it.

Hey...you like factcheck I take it then...here's one...

Did half of your work for you...."We say thay's a distortion of the record".

When the media fact-checks John McCain's misleading (and more blatantly & completely false) advertisements, the fact-checking is buried in a piece that praises the political strategy of the advertisements themselves; meanwhile, when this same media fact-checks Barack Obama's misleading advertisements, the fact-checking IS the story - instead of just being an "oh, by the way" type observation buried in an article about how brilliant Obama is at campaigning. There is a HUGE difference in these types of fact-checks, and it becomes rather obvious which of the candidates the loyal media calls master.

Can anyone explain this discrepancy?

No,what you have is FACTCHECK accurately pointing out a Big Union lie. More to come. CNN continues to run the Obama ''Lobbyist''ad even though it has been shown that none of the people surrounding McCain in the ad is a lobbyist. A new Obama/DNC ad,''Abramoff'' attempts to tie McCain with the disgraced lobbyist through his relationship with Ralph Reed, despite fast action on the portion of conservative blogger Ed Morrissey and others who found out that Obama raked in over 125,000 $ from the Abramoff firm GREENBURG-TRAURIG ,with Harry Reid running a close second yet McCain collecting not a dime.

if anyone cares any thing comming from the AFL-CIO would have to be called bull its a labor union they are again pissed that those jobs didn't pay them any dues ! now they are after walmart ! again get rid of the labor unions, increase wages by law of the federal goverment and be done with the bullshit money taking unions who do nill for the employee's !

At some point in time during this capmpaign,the mainstream media, such as the Washington Post/Newsweek needs to decide whose side they are really on. If the Republications can have all of News Corporation as its mega mouthpiece, then somebody must become the mouthpiece for the Democrats. I am sick and tired of "fair and balanced" on behalf of the mainstream media. If the Dems lose, they can blame Newsweek and the Washington Post for it.

Now we have Newsweek officially carrying water for McCain. Thye've given us deafening silence about the McCain campaign's lies, smears and mud thrown at Obama. But they're all too ready to lend ol' John a hand. The media's love for McCain is astounding at times.

Why doesn't News Week debunk all the distortions of Obama policies and misinformation out there on the candidate's charachter? It comes out to defend McCAIn , but not Obama. Mmmmm. Liberal media?

"We need a president who sees government not as a tool to enrich well-connected friends and high-priced lobbyists, but as the defender of fairness and opportunity for every American," Obama said in his June speech. "That's the kind of president I intend to be." But his actions do not conform with his words.

Records show that one-third of Obama's record-breaking haul has come from donations of $1,000 or more: a total of $112 million, more than Senator John McCain. Behind those larger donations is a phalanx of more than 500 Obama "bundlers," fund-raisers who have each collected contributions totaling $50,000 or more. Many of the bundlers come from industries with critical interests in Washington. Nearly three dozen of the bundlers have raised more than $500,000 each, including more than a half-dozen who have passed the $1 million mark and one or two who have exceeded $2 million, according to interviews with fund-raisers.

The care and feeding that top Obama fund-raisers have received underscores their significance to his campaign. Members of his National Finance Committee who fulfill their commitment to raise at least $250,000 are being rewarded with trips to the Democratic National Convention in Denver.

Finance committee members participate in conference calls with top campaign officials every other week. The fund-raisers meet quarterly, often with Mr. Obama dropping in.
