    To all of the conservatives out there who think that Obama is a flaming liberal, I would like to remind you of what he did when he was elected President of the Harvard Law Review. The Law Review President gets to name ten individuals to write articles for the Review, and these ten people also get to control the content of the publication. All of the minorities and the liberals thought they finally had it made, that Obama would appoint ten left wing editors. Instead, Obama appointed three conservatives, three liberals and four moderates. That year the Law Review was critically acclaimed as the best run and best written Harvard publication in decades.

    So when he wins in November, don't freak out. Obama is a centrist and will appoint a balanced cabinet full of active people who will really get things done. Kind of like the way our multi-cultural society is supposed to be.

      Obama. . . a centrist? Yeah, maybe one in disguise. LOL.

      2007 Vote Ratings
      Obama: Most Liberal Senator In 2007
      By Brian Friel, Richard E. Cohen and Kirk Victor, National Journal
      © National Journal Group Inc.
      Thursday, Jan. 31, 2008

      Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., was the most liberal senator in 2007, according to National Journal's 27th annual vote ratings. The insurgent presidential candidate shifted further to the left last year in the run-up to the primaries, after ranking as the 16th- and 10th-most-liberal during his first two years in the Senate.

        We know Obama has denounced this list of endorsers one by one. I guess the real question is why are organizations, people like this (there is more . . . too long to list all) endorsing Obama in the first place?

        Why are controversial, radical people, organizations, etc. drawn to endorse Obama the way they do? ?

          You're not voting for Sen. Obama so don't worry about it. His vision for dealing with the complexities facing America is beyond your ability to understand. It will take an extremely intelligent president to guide America in the next few years. Paramount is regaining respect in the world (with friends as well as enemies). So settle down. Fearmongering is gutless.

            Elizabeth, sharenews, or shall I refer to her as smearnews.....is a Hillary supporter, who hates Obama and who supports McCain only because of Palin. Can you believe any intelligent Hillary supporter would support Sarah Palin?

        • Posted By: Omaar @ 10/16/2008 11:49:26 AM

          Heres your Seccessionsit, Socialist and Leninist: Whom You Love and Adore.

          Todd & Sarah Palin's Hatefilled, Secessionist Party, The 3rd largest Political Party in alaska, Todd Palin was a Member for 7 Years and is Not a registered Republican. Demand that Sarah & Todd Palin Renounce and Denounce the Anti-American-Secessionist beliefs and teachings ...

          Newsweek Magazine ...Please, I'm Begging You NewsWeek, Put sarah and Todd Palin to task for their Anti-American Connections.

          AIP's creation was inspired by the rabidly violent anti-Americanism of its founding father Joe Vogler, "I'm an Alaskan, not an American," reads a favorite Vogler quote on AIP's current website, "I've got no use for America or her damned institutions." According to Vogler AIP's central purpose was to drive Alaska's secession from the United States. Alaska, says current Chairwoman Lynette Clark, "should be an independent nation."

          Vogler was murdered in 1993 during an illegal sale of plastic explosives that went bad. The prior year, he had renounced his allegiance to the United States explaining that, "The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government." He cursed the stars and stripes, promising, "I won't be buried under their damned flag...when Alaska is an independent nation they can bring my bones home." Palin has never denounced Vogler or his detestable anti-Americanism.

          Palin's husband Todd remained an AIP party member from 1995 to 2002.

          Sarah can be described in McCarthy-era palaver as a "fellow traveler."

          While retaining her Republican registration, she attended the AIP's 1994 convention where the party called for a draft constitution to secede from the United States and create an independent nation of Alaska.

          The McCain Campaign has reluctantly acknowledged that she also attended AIP's 2000 Convention.

          She apparently found the experience so inspiring that she agreed to give a keynote address at the AIP's 2006 convention and she recorded a video greeting for this year's 2008 convention.

          In other words, this is not something that happened when she was eight!

          So when Palin accuses Barack of "not seeing the same America as you and me," maybe she is referring to an America without Alaska. In any case, isn't it time the media start giving equal time to Palin's buddy list of anti-American bombers and other radical associates?

          William Timmons, the Washington lobbyist who John McCain has named to head his presidential transition team, aided an influence effort on behalf of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein to ease international sanctions against his regime.

          The two lobbyists who Timmons worked closely with over a five year period on the lobbying campaign later either pleaded guilty to or were convicted of federal criminal charges that they had acted as unregistered agents of Saddam Hussein's government.

          During the same period beginning in 1992, Timmons worked closely with the two lobbyists, Samir Vincent and Tongsun Park, on a previously unreported prospective deal with the Iraqis in which they hoped to be awarded a contract to purchase and resell Iraqi oil. Timmons, Vincent, and Park stood to share at least $45 million if the business deal went through.

          Timmons' activities occurred in the years following the first Gulf War, when Washington considered Iraq to be a rogue enemy state and a sponsor of terrorism. His dealings on behalf of the deceased Iraqi leader stand in stark contrast to the views his current employer held at the time.

          John McCain strongly supported the 1991 military action against Iraq, and as recently as Sunday described Saddam Hussein as a one-time menace to the region who had "stated categorically that he would acquire weapons of mass destruction, and he would use them wherever he could."

          Timmons declined to comment for this story. An office manager who works for him said that he has made it his practice during his public career to never speak to the press. Timmons previously told investigators that he did not know that either Vincent or Park were acting as unregistered agents of Iraq. He also insisted that he did not fully understand just how closely the two men were tied to Saddam's regime while they collaborated.

          But testimony and records made public during Park's criminal trial, as well as other information uncovered during a United Nations investigation, suggest just the opposite. Virtually everything Timmons did while working on the lobbying campaign was within days conveyed by Vincent to either one or both of Saddam Hussein's top aides, Tariq Aziz and Nizar Hamdoon. Vincent also testified that he almost always relayed input from the Iraqi aides back to Timmons.

          Talking points that Timmons produced for the lobbyists to help ease the sanctions, for example, were reviewed ahead of time by Aziz, Vincent testified in court. Proposals that Timmons himself circulated to U.S. officials as part of the effort were written with the assistance of the Iraqi officials, and were also sent ahead of time with Timmons' approval to Aziz, other records show.

          Moreover, there was a major financial incentive at play for Timmons. The multi-million dollar oil deal that he was pursuing with the two other lobbyists would only be possible if their efforts to ease sanctions against Iraq were successful.

        Americans who value their freedoms have no desire to be governed by right-wing conservatives who ridiciously believe that only they know how to be religious, patriotic and decent. America's experience tells us otherwise. Thanks, but no thanks.

      • Posted By: You are a FOOL @ 10/16/2008 3:02:01 AM

        From NBC's Mark Murray
        National Journal magazine is reporting that Obama was the most liberal senator of 2007, according to the vote ratings it does every year for members of Congress. Clinton, meanwhile, ranks as the 16th most-liberal senator.

        But a bit of context here: National Journal used 99 Senate votes in 2007 as the basis for its rankings, and because he was on the presidential campaign trail, Obama missed a third of those votes. (According to the magazine, Obama voted the liberal way 65 out of 66 votes. Clinton, meanwhile, voted the liberal way in 77 out of her 82 votes).

        National Journal's vote ratings became an issue in the 2004 general election, when Republicans used the magazine's ranking of John Kerry as the most liberal senator of 2003 to label the then-Democratic nominee as the "most liberal senator" -- even though that was his rating for just that one year, when (like Obama did) he missed quite a few Senate votes due to being on the presidential campaign trail.

        As National Journal's editor wrote back then, "[O]ur magazine -- or, more precisely, our annual congressional vote ratings edition -- has become a Republican talking point in the 2004 presidential campaign. And that's been a fascinating, and disconcerting, experience. Fascinating because we're more used to being cited in congressional hearings than on the Today show. Disconcerting because the shorthand used to describe our ratings of Kerry and Edwards is sometimes misleading -- or just plain wrong."

        Indeed, while Obama ranks as the magazine's most liberal senator of 2007, his ranking was 16th in 2005 and 10th in 2006.

        Another question that might come up is why the magazine released its voting ratings now -- just days before Super Tuesday. In fact, the magazine says it full congressional ratings won't come out until March. But, according to the editor in a Q&A published in the magazine: "Back in December, we decided that we would publish the ratings of the presidential candidates as soon as they became available, rather than wait until our annual Vote Ratings issue on March 8. We thought it would be irresponsible to keep those scores under wraps during the height of the presidential primary season."

        As for McCain, the magazine says that he didn't vote frequently enough in 2007 to get an overall rating. Per National Journal, "He missed more than half of the votes in both the economic and foreign-policy categories. On social issues, which include immigration, McCain received a conservative score of 59."

        And like with Obama's overall liberal score, rivals and critics could possibly seize on McCain's social rating....

        Full disclosure: This reporter worked and wrote for National Journal from 1997 to 2003.

      • Posted By: You are a FOOL @ 10/16/2008 2:56:50 AM

        Here is some truth, McCain lost the debate, and will lose the election. You all can post all your bu!! sh!t for the next 20 days. It is over, and get over it.

      • Posted By: You are a FOOL @ 10/16/2008 2:51:10 AM

        of course National Journal would say that because of the conservative nature of the Journal. It has been proven many times that he is not the most liberal. When you share the news, don't believe everything you read.

  • Posted By: undeluded @ 10/17/2008 6:29:24 PM

    Unfortunately Floridave, far too many on the right are all too prone to say, "so what?" even though common sense demands closer scrutiny. In Iraq, no WMDs, but "so what? Saddam needed to be removed anyway"; prosecuting the war in Iraq takes resources away from Afghanistan where Bin Laden likely is - "so what? we've got to win" (despite the lack of political progress amongst the Iraqis); Americans need health care and we're spending $10-$12 billion/month in Iraq - "so what?" - hmmm, I still haven't heard the justification for why this trade-off. And so it goes. Some things do matter on their own face value.

    This posting is dedicated to Pia and SJ. Obamabots, feel free to ignore my post. It is not for your benefit, but is for people that do read the blogs and want to get informed:

    * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
    This goes WAY beyond Guilty By Association. . . It is more lack LACK OF JUDGMENT given the long list. It tells a story about the choices that Obama made as to who he wanted to be a part of his life in one way or another . . . Friends he made of Colleagues, Campaign fundraisers, terrorists, radical / racists, anti-America pastor, radical mentors, and other controversial associations / relationships. Does this show good judgment on Obamas part? It truly makes me question what type of impact people like those below have made on Obama . . His true beliefs, his values, his integrity and his character as a man running for POTUS:

    * FRANK MARSHALL DAVIS (infamous pro-Soviet Communist Party member who was a mentor to Obama in his earlier days - from age 9 or 10 to 18 yrs old - until he left to go off to college). Davis sent Obama off to college and later Barack would admit that he attended socialist conferences and picked Marxist professors as his friends. http://newzeal.blogspot.com/2008/09/obamas-communist-mentor-frank-marshall.html

            The term Obamabots is a general term that even the news media / political pundits use in referring to Obama supporters. Whereas, here is where the rubber meets the road . . . with Pia taking my blogger name and rewording it to be a derogatory name like Pia did (smearnews,sharewitch, calling me a liar, etc. ) is down-right personal and mean-spirited. It is not so much that she personal name calling and ridiculing, it is more the case that you hail her as never, ever having been mean-spirited in these blogs - which is not the case. . .she has been mean-spirited in these blogs at times. That is all my point is.

              I have not heard political pundits use the word 'Obamabots.' The media love Sen. Obama. Well, except Hannity (flunked out of New York University and a Catholic Seminary) and Limbaugh (also a dropout).

    Obamas Global Tax
    By INVESTORS BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Tuesday, July 29, 2008 4:20 PM PT
    Election 2008: A plan by Barack Obama to redistribute American wealth on a global level is moving forward in the Senate. It follows Marxist theology ??? from each according to his ability, to each according to his need. We are citizens of the world, Sen. OBAMA TOLD THOUSANDS OF NONVOTING GERMANS during his recent tour of the MIDDLE EAST and EUROPE. And if the Global Poverty Act (S. 2433) he has sponsored becomes law, which is almost certain if he wins in November, WE are also going to be TAXPAYERS OF THE WORLD.

      Hardworking Americans have had it with greedy fatcats who only care about the economy when their golden goose dries up. The gutless wonders who were rich leap from tall buildings rather than live poor.
      Our worldwide 'market correction' has a silver lining: ordinary people who no matter how hard they tried couldn't share in the American dream are going to have a better standard of living in the future.

        PIA, this is a real bill that Obama put forward and is sponsoring. I provided the link below. It will require us Americans to dish out about $2500 per tax payer (a manditory charity to the global economy none of which will benefit our own country). It is not BS.

    2008 is only the begining of the "Prophecy of Doom". Nostradamus (1503-1566) was an French apothecary who was 96% accurate in his ability to fore see and predict the future(500 Years ahead of his time). In his last quatrain he predicted that between 2008-2012 would be the start of the end of civilization. He fore seen the down fall of Western countries through various events leading up to World War lll (A Nuclear War) by 2012, which will start in the Middle East. With the problems we are having in the current economic mess, this could be the first sign.

    OHIO VOTER REGISTRATION FRAUD - here is another multi-signup person - he signed his states voter registration cards 73 times!!!

    Did anyone catch the 19 year old guy on the news today in Ohio testifying that he had signed 73 voter registration cards ? He was told by ACORN workers that the more signatures that they got the more they would be paid. So the guy thought he was doing a good thing . . . given the economic mess people are dealing with from day to day. So he thought why not keep signing these cards if the workers get more money. The 19 year old also said he did it because he received cigarettes and $20 by the ACORN workers. At least it wasn???t in exchange for cocaine!

      Relax, he won't be voting 73 times. Maybe he won't vote at all. Feel better now?
      As for your 'At least it wasn't cocaine' jab, is that a relief to you? We know you know (as you know everything and then pass it on to the rest of us) that cigarettes are lethal.

    Obama's claim to fame

    1) Voter fraud - organizations receiving money from Obama have registered dead people and people from football teams not in the state, etc.

    2) Campaign Funding Violations - receiving money from non US Citizens. The exact amount is still to be determined or might never be determined because of the lax methods of keeping track of contributions by the Obama campaign.

    3) Obama Team - registering convicted fellons and homeless to vote for him.

    4) Making deals with other countries, encouraging them to not accelerate the peace process in Iraq until he becomes president so he can claim success when he had nothing to do with it.

    5) Yellow streak - pull out now when the Polls said pull out instead of push for the surge and then having to say, well the surge worked better than expected.

    6) Economics - I want to have my face on TV and have the debate instead of working behind closed doors to figure out a solutions.

    And to think, he hasn't even been elected yet and he has all this going against him. Why do people keep following him, is beyond me. His (foreign money) will run out, he will eventually not have the news media filming everything about him and only reporting what he wants them to report. The truth will prevail and you wont like it when it does.

      Come back in a few years and tell us how well the 'surge' in Iraq really worked. America can't 'surge' its way into other countries and force ancient civilizations to become Americanized. But believe it if it helps you to cope with the tragic loss of billions of American tax dollars and thousands of American lives.

    In 1988 Khalid al-Mansour, a Black Muslim and Nationalist, a ???mentor??? to the Black Panther party asked Former Manhattan Borough president P. Sutton to help Obama get into Harvard Law School. Al-Mansour raised money for Obama???s study there and sought recommendations for him.
    Obama served on the board of the Wood's Fund, a liberal Chicago nonprofit, with Ayers, former Weather radical terrorist, from 1999 to Dec. 11, 2002.
    Woods Fund gave grants to the Arab American Action Network (its founder is anti-Israel professor Rashid Khalidi, ex-director of the Palestinian Liberation Organization press agency); Trinity United Church of Christ; ACORN (more than $355,000).
    Woods Fund granted $60,000 to Brighton Park Neighborhood Council, Business and Professional People for the Public Interest (BPPPI); $150,000 to the Center of Neighborhood Technology; more than $205,000 to the Hope Center (its co-founders were S. T. Karanja and B. Obama). Obama received at least $16,950 from BBPI and over $24,000 from CNT in campaign donations.
    Woods Fund invested nearly $1 mln in Neighborhood Rejuvenation Partners (NRP) of A. Davis (Obama's ex-boss). Davis received more than $700,000 in development fees. He has donated $25,000 to Obama's political campaigns.
    Woods Fund paid $105,583 in fees Northern Trust investment services (2005). In 2005 Obama received mortgage for his home from Northern Trust at a better than average rate.
    Obama served on board of Chicago Annenberg Challenge, founded by Ayers, from 1995 to 2001. The CAC gave money to infuse students with a radical political commitment, granted money to ACORN, more than $600,000 - to an organization founded by Ayers and run by Mike Klonsky, a former top communist activist.
    Tony Rezko, convicted on several counts of fraud and bribery, gave Obama $2,000 in 1995 and in 1997. Obama received over $250,000 in from Rezko or his associates.
    Obama represented a district that included 11 of Rezko's 30 low-income housing projects.
    In 1998, Obama urged city and state officials to give Rezko $14 mln (including $855,000 in fees for Rezko and for A. Davis, Obama???s ex-boss) to build an apartment complex.
    Rezko was a partner of Iraqi-born business billionaire Nadhmi Auchi and owed to Auchi $27.9 mln. Auchi set up deals with S. Hussein's regime, was involved in the UN Oil-For-Food scandal. In 2003, Auchi was convicted of fraud, and given a 15 month suspended sentence and a £1.5m fine.
    Auchi had a deal with Rezko on a $130.5 mln 2005 real estate development project in Chicago. Auchi bought about 15 of Rezko's pizzerias in WI. Auchi visited Illinois in 2004. Obama and his wife were at party in his honor at Rezko's residence. A Panamanian company Fintrade Services (among its directors is Auchi???s wife) donated to Obama in 2005. Auchi's company loaned Tony Rezko $3.5 mln in April 2005. 3 weeks later Obama purchased a new home for $1.65 mln -- $300,000 below the asking price. Rezko's wife paid $625,000 for the adjacent vacant

      Thank you for this nice summary. There is no doubt that he is way out there on the left wing of the Democratic Party. How much opposition will he face from centrist Democrats? I suspect, a fair amount. However, his ability to inflict long term damage on this country e.g through his judicial appointments, should not be underestimated.

        Todd & Sarah Palin's Hatefilled, Secessionist Party, The 3rd largest Political Party in alaska, Todd Palin was a Member for 7 Years and is Not a registered Republican. Demand that Sarah & Todd Palin Renounce and Denounce the Anti-American-Secessionist beliefs and teachings ...

        Newswekk Magazine ...Please, I'm Begging You NewsWeek, Put sarah and Todd Palin to task for their Anti-American Connections.

        AIP's creation was inspired by the rabidly violent anti-Americanism of its founding father Joe Vogler, "I'm an Alaskan, not an American," reads a favorite Vogler quote on AIP's current website, "I've got no use for America or her damned institutions." According to Vogler AIP's central purpose was to drive Alaska's secession from the United States. Alaska, says current Chairwoman Lynette Clark, "should be an independent nation."

        Vogler was murdered in 1993 during an illegal sale of plastic explosives that went bad. The prior year, he had renounced his allegiance to the United States explaining that, "The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government." He cursed the stars and stripes, promising, "I won't be buried under their damned flag...when Alaska is an independent nation they can bring my bones home." Palin has never denounced Vogler or his detestable anti-Americanism.

        Palin's husband Todd remained an AIP party member from 1995 to 2002.

        Sarah can be described in McCarthy-era palaver as a "fellow traveler."

        While retaining her Republican registration, she attended the AIP's 1994 convention where the party called for a draft constitution to secede from the United States and create an independent nation of Alaska.

        The McCain Campaign has reluctantly acknowledged that she also attended AIP's 2000 Convention.

        She apparently found the experience so inspiring that she agreed to give a keynote address at the AIP's 2006 convention and she recorded a video greeting for this year's 2008 convention.

        In other words, this is not something that happened when she was eight!

        So when Palin accuses Barack of "not seeing the same America as you and me," maybe she is referring to an America without Alaska. In any case, isn't it time the media start giving equal time to Palin's buddy list of anti-American bombers and other radical associates?

        • Posted By: sharenews @ 10/15/2008 8:19:05 PM


          Sarah Palin has never registered, but has spoke in front of the group like she does with all organizations that have conferences on behalf of the state of Alaska as its Governor.

          Todd, Palin was registered, but only to attend a conference at one time (see below)

          FYI:

          It has been brought to our attention that there is a COUNTERFEIT SITE now up on the net. This site is a FRAUD and has infringed our copyright. We are presently seeking legal recourse.

          * Candidate GOVERNOR Sarah Palin was NEVER a member of our party.

          * TODD Palin was registered as a MEMBER, BUT NEVER PARTICIPATED in any party activities aside from attending a convention in Wasilla at one time.

          We had SEVERAL HUNDRED PEOPLE ATTEND THAT CONVENTION and NOTHING OF NOTEWORTHY STATUS TOOK PLACE outside of nominating the most conservative candidate up to that date to ever run for Governor of Alaska. That candidate was the sitting Lt. Governor, Jack Coghill. This man was one of the authors and signers of the Constitution of the State of Alaska.

          Still have questions? Contact Lynette Clark, AIP Chair. A link is available on the AIP site to dispatch an email if you so desire to.

    • Posted By: Omaar @ 10/15/2008 3:08:36 PM

      Does John McCain "Pal around with Terrorists?"

      Certainly McCain's continuing "association" and relationship with the convicted [Watergate Burglar] and [Domestic Terrorist G. Gordon Liddy] might suggest that is the case, if we are to apply the standards drawn by the McCain campaign.

      NOTE: In 1998, Liddy gave a fundraiser in his Scottsdale, Arizona home for McCain's senatorial re-election campaign -- the two posed for photographs together; and as recently as May, 2007, as a presidential candidate, McCain was a guest on Liddy's syndicated radio show. Inexplicably, McCain heaped praise on his host's values. During the segment, McCain said he was "Proud" of Liddy, and Praised Liddy's "Adherence to the Principles and Philosophies that keep our Nation Great." From the program:

      LIDDY: Your experience in the Hanoi Hilton is remarkable. I mean, I put in five years in a prison [for masterminding the Watergate burglary, and associated crimes], but it was here in the United States, and they didn't torture - the only torture that I had was being forced to listen to rap music from time to time.

      McCAIN: Well, you know, I'm proud of you. I'm proud of your family. I'm proud to know your son, Tom, who's a great and wonderful guy. And it's always a pleasure for me to come on your program, Gordon. And congratulations on your continued success and adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation great.


      Which of Liddy's "Principles and Philosophies" was McCain referring to? Liddy's advocacy of [Break-Ins? Fire Bombings? Assassinations? Kidnappings]?

      Taking target practice with figures nicknamed Bill and Hillary?

      During the same period that Bill Ayers was a member of the Weather Underground, Gordon Liddy was making plans to [Firebomb a Washington Think Tank, Assassinate a Prominent Journalist]

      Uundertake the Watergate Burglary, Break into the office of Daniel Ellsberg's Psychiatrist, and Kidnap Anti-war Protesters at the 1972 Republican convention.

      Re: Liddy's "continued success and adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation great:" Did McCain mean to include Liddy's instructions to listeners of his radio show in 1994 (around the time Ayres and Obama were on a board together discussing education programs and other plots) on how to shoot Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms agents (aim for the head)?

      If ATF agents attempt to curtail a citizen's gun ownership, Liddy counseled, "Well, if the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms comes to disarm you and they are bearing arms, resist them with arms. Go for a head shot; they're going to be wearing bulletproof vests."

      More recently, Liddy explained making the Clintons objects of shooting practice:

      John McCain, Your Terrorist Viet Nam POW: William Timmons, the Washington lobbyist who John McCain has named to head his presidential transition team, aided an influence effort on behalf of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein to ease international sanctions against his regime.

      The two lobbyists who Timmons worked closely with over a five year period on the lobbying campaign later either pleaded guilty to or were convicted of federal criminal charges that they had acted as unregistered agents of Saddam Hussein's government.

      During the same period beginning in 1992, Timmons worked closely with the two lobbyists, Samir Vincent and Tongsun Park, on a previously unreported prospective deal with the Iraqis in which they hoped to be awarded a contract to purchase and resell Iraqi oil. Timmons, Vincent, and Park stood to share at least $45 million if the business deal went through.

      Timmons' activities occurred in the years following the first Gulf War, when Washington considered Iraq to be a rogue enemy state and a sponsor of terrorism. His dealings on behalf of the deceased Iraqi leader stand in stark contrast to the views his current employer held at the time.

      John McCain strongly supported the 1991 military action against Iraq, and as recently as Sunday described Saddam Hussein as a one-time menace to the region who had "stated categorically that he would acquire weapons of mass destruction, and he would use them wherever he could."

      Timmons declined to comment for this story. An office manager who works for him said that he has made it his practice during his public career to never speak to the press. Timmons previously told investigators that he did not know that either Vincent or Park were acting as unregistered agents of Iraq. He also insisted that he did not fully understand just how closely the two men were tied to Saddam's regime while they collaborated.

      But testimony and records made public during Park's criminal trial, as well as other information uncovered during a United Nations investigation, suggest just the opposite. Virtually everything Timmons did while working on the lobbying campaign was within days conveyed by Vincent to either one or both of Saddam Hussein's top aides, Tariq Aziz and Nizar Hamdoon. Vincent also testified that he almost always relayed input from the Iraqi aides back to Timmons.

      Talking points that Timmons produced for the lobbyists to help ease the sanctions, for example, were reviewed ahead of time by Aziz, Vincent testified in court. Proposals that Timmons himself circulated to U.S. officials as part of the effort were written with the assistance of the Iraqi officials, and were also sent ahead of time with Timmons' approval to Aziz, other records show.

      Moreover, there was a major financial incentive at play for Timmons. The multi-million dollar oil deal that he was pursuing with the two other lobbyists would only be possible if their efforts to ease sanctions against Iraq were successful.

    What drives Obama? Read his book: Dreams from My Father.

      Yes, read Obamas book he wrote that reflects everything about his life he wants you to know about and none of the things that he continues to hide and not want to talk about. He objects to discussing all of the relationships he has made over the past 20+ years with unapologetic terrorits, Palestine radicals, anti-America pastors and spiritual mentors, etc. because he is afraid that people will come to know his true beliefs, his values, and the real character of the man called Obama that is running to win as POTUS. And THAT is the truth. Thus, the Saul Alinsky tactics (e.g. race-baiting - associating the idea of talking about any of his past being racist. . .which is ridiculous cuz with every presidential run the past is always brought up and talked about to show the opponents weaknesses and in Obamas case it is lack of character as a man given the choices he has made and lack of experience and major accomplishments on top of all of that! Yeah, right, bringing change you can believe in to Washington. hmmmmmmmmmm. Right. ; 0 (

        Nary a word from you about McCain's or Palin's associations and lies. Liddy. Keating. Hagee. Church of God. Separatist group in Alaska. Bridge to nowhere (costing Americans $240 million). Much bragged about but non-existent $40 billion Alaska oil pipeline. Palin's abuse of power in Alaska. Unfair, biased reports from Hannity and Limbaugh are commonplace to anyone prepared to listen to them. But this board. You need to get real or get lost. Either is fine by me.

        Here is some truth, McCain lost the debate, and will lose the election. You all can post all your bu!! sh!t for the next 20 days. It is over, and get over it.

        I like the idea of a subtitle. What about this one? Dreams from My Father. Or How the white man ruined my father, by making him into an irresponsible alcoholic who abandoned me and failed at everything he tried.

          I like John McCain's assessment of himself...

          Irresponsible, Bad Tempered, Undisciplined, Irrational, Party Boy, Impulsive, A Big Gambler, which Equals the Title [Maverick] a person taking Big Risk, for High Reward at the Expense of Others as well as being Over Zealous.....

          Qualities that are not Balanced Pressidential Qualities......

          Even his own Economics Advisor Knows that whoever comes into the oval Office, He will in Fact, Raise your Taxes...Period...

    Whether McCain won or lost is not relevant. He succeeded in the first half hour to plant the seeds of a Reagan style wipeout. Reputable historians and economists overwhelmingly agree that the taxation imposed by and the "stimulus" spending and public works programs of FDR actually deepened and prolonged the Great Depression. See e.g. http://newsroom.ucla.edu/portal/ucla/FDR-s-Policies-Prolonged-Depression-5409.aspx. It was the production demands of WWII that got the economy going again. And when the war was over, the economy promptly went into recession.

    Point is, Obama's programs are tax and spend, and it does not really matter who he taxes, those taxes are going to be passed through the economy. Any first year economics student knows that taxation is a tool used to contract an economy experiencing inflation, because it reduces demand by reducing the amount of money individuals and businesses have to spend. It is contractionary, which is exactly what you do not want to do when the problem is that the economy is contracting already into recession. Like FDR, Obama's plans will only make it worse for longer.

    Similarly, who ???Joe the plumber??? is is not the issue. The issue is what Obama???s comments to him revealed. In the exchange with "Joe the plumber" we find out that Obama really is as radical as his early political acquaintances, and that he is into the failed economic policy of wealth redistribution. Obama's tax and spending plans alone would be bad enough, but add Reid and Pelosi to the mix, with the three of them controlling both houses of Congress and the executive without and effective restraint, and you have something that should be something that causes concern even among moderate Democrats. Don't think so? Watch and listen to a C-SPAN video clip of the Congressional hearings at roughly the time McCain's attempt at S.190. to fix fannie and freddie.

      If you like less taxes, why not no taxes? No defence, infrastructure, health, education or government services. Save a ton of money. People can muddle through without them. Next suggestion?

    Joe "The Plumber" is the new "Johnny AppleSeed" right out of the mind and Camp that Brought You Republican & AIP Party Hopefuls .....Sad A!! Sarah & Todd Palin....The King & Queen of the Yukon.

    (COLUMBUS, Ohio) Joe the Plumber's story sprang a few leaks Thursday. Turns out that the man who was held up by John McCain as the typical, hard-working American taxpayer isn't really a licensed plumber. And court documents show he owes nearly $1,200 in back taxes.

    "Joe," whose name is Samuel J. Wurzelbacher, was cited repeatedly in Wednesday night's final presidential debate by McCain for questioning Barack Obama's tax policy.

    Wurzelbacher instantly became a media celebrity, fielding calls during the debate and facing reporters outside his home near Toledo on Thursday morning for an impromptu nationally televised news conference.

    The burly, bald man acknowledged he doesn't have a plumber's license, but said he didn't need one because he works for someone else at a company that does residential work.

    But Wurzelbacher still would need to be a licensed apprentice or journeyman to work in Toledo, and he's not, said David Golis, manager and residential building official for the Toledo Division of Building Inspection.

    State and local records show Wurzelbacher has no license, although his employer does. Golis said there are no records of inspectors citing Wurzelbacher for unlicensed work in Toledo.

    Obama has a peacock, it???s red and blue and green.
    Obama has a peacock to keep his image clean.
    Obama has a peacock to cover up his lies.
    Obama has a peacock to watch him when he flies.
    Obama has a peacock to censure John McCain.
    Obama has a peacock to wash the nation???s brain.
    Obama has a peacock to dirty Palin???s hair.
    Obama has a peacock that???s unjust and unfair.
    Obama has a peacock to keep us in a box,
    Until the peacock???s eaten by an angry, hungry FOX!

    Hold on to your feathers, for soon you will be stuck,
    And sir, good sir, at last, you???ll see you have run out of luck!

      It's obviously too much to expect you to give any credit to Sen. Obama. Not to worry. Obama will be a
      terrific president, with or without your support.
