    The Antichrist!:
    When George Soros failed to obtain the election of his candidate, John Kerry, in 2004, he brooded for a while, even said he might get out of politics altogether, but he just couldn???t stop himself. He has stated publicly that he wishes to burst the ???bubble of American supremacy,??? because he says our preeminence in the world is a detriment to global ???equilibrium.??? So far, he has failed, but he keeps on trying.

    And Mr. Soros has made no secret either of the fact that he sees the shortest way to effect political shake-ups, what he terms ???regime changes,??? is through very difficult economic conditions.

    America has not yet felt the full force of Soros style economic shock treatment. But others have.

    Soros made his first billion in 1992 by shorting the British pound with leveraged billions in financial bets, and became known as the man who broke the Bank of England. He broke it on the backs of hard-working British citizens who immediately saw their homes severely devalued and their life savings cut drastically in comparative worth almost overnight.

    When the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997 threatened to spread globally, George Soros was right in the thick of it. Soros was accused by the Malaysian Prime Minister of causing the collapse with his monetary machinations, and he was branded in Thailand as an ???economic war criminal??? who ???sucks the blood from the people.??? Right in the middle of this crisis, Soros dashed off his book, The Crisis of Global Capitalism, which demanded a ???third way??? toward economic stability.

    Wake up, America, before it is too late!!!!

    Hi my name is MAHMOUD AHMADINEJAD you may have seen me on your Tv .I am the President of IRAN , I want to say that I wrote a big check to the OBAMA campaign as well as the DNC . Mr Obama is a nice man just like me. My good friend Mr. Bin Laden also wrote a check to Mr. Obamas campaign as well as the DNC. Mr. Obamas friends at ACORN sent us papers so we can vote for him. we look forward to it..

    In a few weeks we will make a choice that will decide our future.
    I follow an economist named Bob Proctor. He has called the top and bottom of every market crash since the 70s correctly.
    Also, he perfectly predicted the current real estate market meltdown and the picture he paints about what will happen in the next couple years
    is terrifying.He thinks it will be worse then the great depression.
    The banks in the U.S. are going under one after the other. Countrywide the largest morgage bank in the world,Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch which are 3 out of the top 5 wall street firms. Also, Fanny and Freddy Mae which hold 50 percent of the home loans in the United States.
    The government took them over because they are essentially bankrupt.If they didn't the entire financially system would virtually shut down, the stock market would crash and we would suffer beyond what any of us have seen before.

    McCain just like Bush " doesn't understand the economy".
    That not just my opinion its his own words. Not only does he not understand how to fix it but he does not understand exactly what is broken.
    It is no surprise that he doesn't. The people that make up these securities use complex mathematical models very few people understand.
    Bush and McCain both can take the credit for this mess since they helped deregulate the laws that were protecting us.

    Bush's economic advisor Phil Graham wrote the deregulation bill that allowed banks to take huge risks with all of our future.
    Now, Phil Graham is the head of McCain's economic policy.He is also McCain's choice for the next secretary of the treasury.
    No one in this country can afford for that to happen. The last time Bush met with his economic advisors was in March. He either didn't care or didn't realize that anything was wrong. Phil Graham had the guts to say that we are in a mental recession after he helped create the worst economy meltdown in our lifetime.
    It will take the best and brightest minds in the world to get us out of this nightmare. As bad as Bush has done, McCain would be
    even more destructive because things are in much worse shape. The next president will not inherit a surplus like Bush did but a tanking economy and a 11,600,000,000,000 (trillion) dollars deficit. Most of it Bush created and it will take decades to pay it back.
    If you do what you have always done then you will get what you have always got.
    When it comes to policy Bush and McCain are the same 90 percent of the time.
    So why are the polls even close then ?



    Mccains team just said they no longer want to talk about the economy.Instead they would like to spend time
    running the biggest smear campaign in history.



    They think they can just tell you lies and you wont be smart enough to see through it
    Let's teach him we are smarter than that .

      Nice try...actually, it was Bush and McCain who warned congress of impending doom from Freddie and Fannie. THEY wanted more regulation that time! LOL But the crooked dems were getting contributions for both organizations as the regulations stood and didn't want things changed. GET EDUCATED before you further spread this cancer of lies!

    Obama did the right thing and returned the money from the mystery donor. But the donor was obviously intending an election fraud. The FBI should trace the credit card number and have a talk with the donor. Why are they not doing so? This is basic law enforcement 101 stuff.

    • Posted By: paproudmom @ 10/06/2008 3:32:34 PM

      Once this came to light, he had to return the donations. It is not like he had a choice.

      • Posted By: adamrussell @ 10/06/2008 6:08:16 PM

        Why is the one that committed the crime not charged with the crime? The FBI has full power to investigate and charge the donor with intentional election fraud. They chose not to. Why?

    Apparently this article is lifted from an "article" by Ken Timmerman from newsmax.com, a notoriously inaccurate propaganda outfit. Mr. Isikoff, you should do some actual investigation and discover the truth. All contributions to presidential campaigns, including small contributions are available online on the fec website. Do some actual reporting instead of propagating lies.

    People can yak about all the indiscretions in the lives of Obama or McCain, of which there have been many, by both mind you. The bottom line though, the DOW is 700 points down again today. People don't care about the sideshow smears right now, they care about there life savings disappearing. Palin has Troopergate, McCain has the Keating 5, Obama has Wright, and Biden has Lobbyists; but the American people have made it clear that they think Obama will do a better job handling the economy, and that is what people are paying attention to. As goes the market, so goes John McCain, and that appears to be down in flames.

        You know the difference between the two and you? They can probably both spell AHMADINEJAD!!! There is no (Ackh) sound in his name, that is as annoying as hell when McCain, Palin and other clueless tools try to use the guys name.

                  The Free Market, which you apparently have no use for, is driving he price of oil ever downward.
                  Your side wants nothing more than $6.00 a gallon gas so that the government can take over the oil companies so that the US is in line with the rest of the world, in that, 90% of oil is controlled by governments and not privately held companies. Look at Putin, Chavez, Mexico and the Saudis. All Government, all of the time.

    The current economic crisis is making it painfully obvious that neither political party is willing to take actions that will benefit our country in the long run. Both parties are tied to corporate interests. Both John McCain and Barack Obama have shown that they will say anything in order to be elected.
    It is time for the media to start giving coverage to alternative candidates, such as Ralph Nader. We need to hear honest ideas from people outside the political machines

      As much repect as I have for Ralph Nader, he really doesn't have any credibility in this situation. Instead of running for President, why doesn't he start with Congress. There must be some state out there that would vote for him as an Indi candidate. He'd have a blast and get to know how hard it is to make a difference from inside. So, instead of eating popcorn from the the sidelines, perhaps he needs to take a look from the inside. It just might change him.

    Barack Hussein Obama is not vetted , he's not patriotic ...that disqualifies one to be Commander-In-Chief.

    Obama lied about not knowing Bill Ayers , Rev Wright , ACORN , etc....Obama is a liar and a phoney. He's a Muslim with radical ties to a PLO member....even gave him money !!

    Obama..that big liar...trained and financed ACORN recruiters. These people use scare tactics to falsely register voters. Obama is responsible for the bad debt situation. ACORN forced financial institutions to lend billions of dollars to millions of inner city poor people and African Americans for mortgages that are all foreclosing now...BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA...trained , financed and supports the leaders at ACORN !!!

      And not vetted? He's been in the spotlight of the campaign for the last two years! You know about all of the cases you brought up, and not because of your amazing investigative efforts. All of these things have been brought up ad nauseum. When it comes down to a blowhard priest or a crashing economy, people are going to opt for the guy they trust with the economy regardless of who he's known in his life. Your post just cements the place the McCain campaign is in: Losing the race, desperate to deflect the dire situation of the economy, and grasping at straws, all the while, whining like children.

      Wripped from the twisted headlines of the immoral and corrupt. Funded by terrorists. Do you believe everything you read or does this article serve only to give more substance to your dillusions?

    Oh Mr. Oiskoff, if people better understand where you came from (are you still mad because the NYT would not publish your Paula Anderson story? A story that later Paula herself said was false and that she was paid to be part of...want more?) What are you're doing? Both candidates are going to get donations that will need to be returned as was pointed out to your on Morning Joe today. What is the McCain campaign paying to take part in the smear campaign? The fact that Obama has raised more in individual contributions is indicative of his amazing grass route campaign and nothing else. He will gladly look into fraud and do the same thing the McCain has done -- return the funds. Sowing the seeds of doubt when there is NO proof. You have apparently joined the ranks of the morally bankrupt. You should be so proud of yourself.
