    McCain/Palin... A HISTORIC TICKET? YES, BUT MAYBE IN THE WRONG WAY...

    Now that Sarah Palin has been found to have abused her powers, violated state ethics, and lied about it, I did a little digging and found an interesting historical footnote.

    The McCain/Palin ticket is the first in American history in which both candidates were found to have violated ethics standards before a national election.

    McCain, of course, was admonished by Senate Ethics Committee "for exercising 'poor judgment' for intervening" with federal regulators on behalf of Charles Keating, as part of the infamous Keating Five scandal.

    And now McCain's running mate has also been found to have violated state ethics laws and abused the powers of her office, as part of the "Troopergate" scandal.

    The nation has had 102 major-party tickets covering 51 presidential elections over more than two centuries. And we've never had a ticket in which both candidates on the same ticket were responsible for ethics violations before a national election. McCain/Palin is the first.

    It makes the whole "reform" pitch a little more difficult, doesn't it?

        Is Obama responsible for Acorn also? Only God can have so much responsibility. Obama is a man, not a God. Get a clue.

    Obama bin-Laden, doesn't have a clue about the economy (he now has the Clintonistas telling him what to do). Now that is leadership! Change, Change, Change. And he really has no grasp about foreign policy.
    He just makes a nice speech. That's all he is - "all hat and no cattle"!

    OBAMAs DANGEROUS PALS
    Baracks Organizer Buds Pushed for Bad Mortgages
    (Includes ACORNs Impact on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Downfall)
    By Stanley Kurtz
    Posted: 3:53 am
    September 29, 2008

    (Part 1 of 2)

    Excerpt:

    Chutzpah: ACORNs (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now)
    DRIVE TO LOWER MORTGAGE STANDARDS PAVED THE WAY for the MELTDOWN - yet last week, it was holding protests like this one in Florida, trying to get a cut of the financial-market-rescue bill.

    WHAT exactly does a COMMUNITY ORGANIZER DO? Barack Obamas rise has left many Americans asking themselves that question. Here is a big part of the answer: Community organizers INTIMIDATE BANKS into making HIGH-RISK LOANS to customers with POOR CREDIT.

    In the name of fairness to minorities, community organizers OCCUPY private offices, CHANT inside bank lobbies, and CONFRONT executives at their homes - and thereby FORCE financial institutions to direct hundreds of millions of dollars in mortgages to low-credit customers.

    In other words, community organizers HELP TO UNDERMINE THE US ECONOMY by pushing the banking system into a SINKHOLE OF BAD LOANS. And OBAMA has spent YEARS TRAINING AND FUNDING THE ORGANIZERS WHO DO IT.
    THE seeds of todays financial meltdown lie in the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) - a law passed in 1977 and MADE RISKIER by unwise amendments and regulatory rulings in later decades.

    CRA was meant TO ENCOURAGE banks to MAKE LOANS TO HIGH-RISK BORROWERS, often minorities living in unstable neighborhoods. That has provided an opening to radical groups like ACORN to abuse the law by forcing banks to make hundreds of millions of dollars in subprime loans to often uncreditworthy poor and minority customers.

      McCain Pals Around with Racists and Anti-Semites
      Posted by Lee Ward
      Published: Oct 5, 08 12:04 PM

      Update and bumped: The Obama campaign is weighing in on the McCain/Palin 'guilt by association' game, providing starting linkage between John McCain and his "anti-semite pals" with the introduction of following regarding U.S. Council for World Freedom founder John Singlaub.

      The Obama camp today is sending around reports on Singlaub, founder of the US Council for World Freedom, which was involved in the Iran-Contra scandal during the mid-1980s and was criticized for supposed links to Nazi collaborators and right-wing death squads in Central America.

      Singlaub told Congress that he helped funnel arms to anti-communist forces in Nicaragua, in violation of a congressional ban. McCain joined the group's advisory board for a time as he was launching his political career in Arizona in the early 1980s.

      (Part 2 of 2 - ACORN - OBAMAs DANGEROUS PALS)


      Any bank that wants to expand or merge with another has to show it has complied with CRA - and APPROVAL CAN BE HELD UP BY COMPLAINTS FILED by groups like ACORN. In fact, intimidation tactics, public charges of racism and threats to use CRA to block business expansion have enabled ACORN to extract hundreds of millions of dollars in loans and contributions from Americas financial institutions.

      Banks already overexposed by these shaky loans were pushed still further in the wrong direction when government-sponsored Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac began buying up their bad loans and offering them for sale on world markets.

      Fannie and Freddie acted in response to Clinton administration pressure to boost homeownership rates among minorities and the poor. However compassionate the motive, the result of this systematic disregard for normal credit standards has been financial disaster.

      ONE key pioneer of ACORNs subprime-loan shakedown racket was Madeline TALBOTT - an ACTIVIST WITH EXTENSIVE TIES TO BARACK OBAMA. She was also in on the ground floor of the disastrous turn in Fannie Maes mortgage policies. Long the director of Chicago ACORN, Talbott is a specialist in DIRECT ACTION - organizers term for their MILITANT TACTICS OF INTIMIDATION AND DISRUPTION. Perhaps her most famous stunt was leading a group of ACORN protesters breaking into a meeting of the Chicago City Council to push for a living wage law, shouting in defiance as she was arrested for mob action and disorderly conduct. But her real legacy may be her drive to push banks into making risky mortgage loans.

          I came up with the name SHARENEWS as a blogger name on this site because I saw that that the MainStreamMedia was not sharing any inkling of what BARACK OBAMA was all about. His beliefs,his values, his sought after associations of friendships, campaign fundings, etc. PERIOD. Thus - the non-stop postings of my 'sharenews' posts starting in the Primaries cuz (like I say) the MainStreamMedia never talks about Obamas background (e.g. like in the Primaries against Hillary) and still being the case. . . cuz the MSM continutes to not expound upond Obamas past . . . not in the very least. I hope that all of the protectors of the press will feel proud to have uphold a block upon knowledge of Obama and his past from being thoroughly talked about and Obama being elected (if it turns out to be the case) of the first black man being elected via the use of Affirmative Action to get a black man vetted just to get him into the White House. I look forward to a REAL qualified black guy (Colin Powell) or black woman (Condelessa Rice) to run for Prez that Americans can feel PROUD of. . . .

            I doubt you look forward to Condi Rice or Colin Powell ever running for president.... if they ever do, you will come up with excuses for not supporting them just as you do with Obama. Just tell the truth of why you refuse to support these three African-Americans and be done with it. You never will, because you are afraid to. I suspect you are in a self- denial mode. In any case, you are in for a big disappoinment in a few weeks and that is a good punishment for all the lies and smears you have been posting about Obama for months. AND, you never did support Hillary....that was an excuse not to support a black man and you know it.

              Gee, Pia, your remark is so Saul Alinsky-esque which says: When you dont like what one says, or when one wont support the others candidate (Obama) then resort to e.g. ridicule. . .use of race-card in your case. eeerp. Doesnt work with me. I read all about Alinskys radical philosophy and radical tactics which Obama learned and applied use of in his community organizer days, and even taught to others who went on to establish and/or join radical groups like the now infamous ACORN now known for voter registration fraud, their intimidation tactics to force local banks to take on risky mortgage loans (contributing factor in the financial mess we are in now) and their forceful lobbying for their causes, especially for Freddie Mac and Fannie may to get them to relax their restrictions to accomodate housing loans for people who really cannot afford a house). Yep, Saul Alinsky - 101. .

    Obamas Global Tax Act
    By INVESTORS BUSINESS DAILY

    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 (July 2008) 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.

    Speaking in Berlin, Obama said: While the 20th century taught us that we share a common destiny, the 21st has revealed a world more intertwined than at any time in human history.

    What the 20th century really showed was a series of TOTALITARIAN THREATS - from fascism to Nazism to communism - defeated by the U.S. military. Hitlers Germany, Mussolinis Italy, Tojos Japan and the Soviet Union offered destinies we did not share.
    Our destiny of peace and freedom through strength was not achieved by a trans-nationalist fantasy of buying the world a Coke and singing Kumbaya.

    OBAMAS GLOBAL POVERTY ACT offers us a GLOBAL SOCIALIST DESTINY we do not want, one that CHALLENGES AMERICAS very SOVEREIGNTY. The former POST-RACIAL candidate obviously intends to be a post-national president.

    A statement from Obamas office says: With billions of people living on just dollars a day around the world, global poverty remains one of the greatest challenges and tragedies the international community faces. It must be a priority of American foreign policy to commit to eliminating extreme poverty and ensuring every child has food, shelter and clean drinking water.

    These are worthy goals, BUT note there is NO MENTION of spreading democracy, expanding free trade, PROMOTING ENTREPRENEURIAL CAPITALISM or RIDDING the world of DESPOTS who rule and ravage countries such as Zimbabwe and Sudan.

    Here is a followup to HolyRollers post about the Logan Act. I had not heard of it before. Here ya go, for anyone who is interested. Thanks, HR, for bringing the subject to our attention and the fact that it will be discussed on FOX tonite..

    BARACK OBAMA AND RAILA ODINGA -- Did the Illinois senator violate the Logan Act in campaigning for his ethnic cleansing cousin's bid for the Kenyan presidency?
    VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1P_P8lBCsE&feature=related


    The Logan Act:

    Dr. George Logan of Pennsylvania attempted to normalize relations with France. He entered into negotiations with France, without authorization, in the hopes of resuming normal relations.

    In 1799, Congress passed legislation outlawing such contacts between foreign governments and private individuals. The law remains on the books to this day.

    (Part 2 of 2 - Continued - Impact of Obamas tax plan on Small Businesses a disaster)

    Partner rate WOULD RISE FROM 37.9 percent all the way up to a STAGGERING 50.3 PERCENT. Many Democrats in Congress have proposed making ALL SMALL BUSINESSES (including S corporations) pay this 50-plus percent rate. A small business tax rate that high would be the highest marginal rate faced by them in nearly a quarter-century.

    WHAT would a WORLD LOOK LIKE where TWO-THIRDS of all SMALL-BUSINESS income would be TAXED AT A 50 percent rate? The economic law that TAXING SOMETHING MORE and GETTING LESS OF IT would apply. FEWER Americans would be INTERESTED in OPENING or EXPANDING small businesses. TAX EVASION and legal tax avoidance would spike, as tax shelters would once again become a booming industry. Since small businesses create a majority of jobs in America, MAIN STREET CLOSING UP shop will have a direct impact on the family budget, as well. PLANTS and EQUIPMENT WILL GO UNUSED. Despite the misguided opinions of static scorers in Washington, federal tax revenues will likely decline as THE ECONOMY STAGGERS INTO A FULL-ON RECESSION.

    WHAT IS THE ALTERNATIVE? One place to look is the optional ALTERNATE TAX SYSTEM originally proposed by Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and now ENDORSED by MCCAIN. It would give households (including those with small business income) a CHOICE between the current tax code and one with a top rate of 25 percent on all income over $100,000. This would have the BENEFICIAL EFFECT OF LOWERING THE TAX RATE ON MOST SMALL-BUSINESS INCOME BY 10 PERCENTAGE POINTS. Small businesses have not faced a tax rate that low in quite some time and would be likely to respond with the CREATION OF NEW businesses and more investment in existing businesses.

    The MCCAIN SMALL BUSINESS TAX PLAN does not end there. For those businesses that are organized as conventional corporations, the TOP TAX rate would FALL FROM 35 percent TO 25 percent, the European average. For all businesses, technology and equipment - which now must be slowly depreciated over many years - would be IMMEDIATELY EXPENSED IN YEAR ONE.

    Stepping back, VOTERS and POLICYMAKERS should ASK THEMSELVES whether they want:

    TWO-THIRDS of small business INCOME TAXED AT A 50 percent tax rate. . . . OR. . . . . .if they want nearly ALL SMALL-BUSINESS income TAXED AT A 25 percent tax rate.

    They should ask themselves whether its healthier for small businesses to WRITE OFF a COMPUTER over six (6) CALENDAR YEARS or to simply WRITE IT OFF IN YEAR ONE. To Americas small business sector, the answer is obvious.

    AN ARGUMENT AGAINST OBAMAS TAX PLAN
    By GROVER G. NORQUIST | 7/11/08 4:58 AM EDT
    Grover Norquist is president of Americans for Tax Reform and author of: Leave Us Alone - Getting the Governments Hands Off Our Money, Our Guns, Our Lives.

    (Part 1 of 2)

    The Tax Policy Center and the Barack Obama campaign used some sleight of hand this week in Politico. To quote Eric Tolder of the TPC, ???Most small-business people, like most everyone else, are not really high-income.??? While this is true, it completely and totally misses the point.

    Lets start with the DEFINITION of a SMALL BUSINESS. Most will tell you that small-business income constitutes income derived from sole proprietorships, partnerships and Subchapter S corporations.

    The conservative argument (and that of the John McCain campaign) is that OBAMAs stated PLAN TO RAISE TAXES ON HOUSEHOLDS MAKING $250,000 OR MORE in income is a TAX INCREASE ON SMALL BUSINESS. The simple answer to this dilemma can be found in the IRS Statistics of Income Bulletin (Table 1.4, for those who are interested: http://www.irs.gov/taxstats/indtaxstats/article/0,,id=96981,00.html )

    SO WHAT DO THE DATA SAY?

    In 2006 (the latest year available), $706 BILLION of such income was REPORTED to the INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE. Of this, about half was reported by households in the top marginal income tax rate. Interestingly, TWO-THIRDS of this INCOME was REPORTED BY HOUSEHOLDS making $250,000 per year or more . . . the very SAME HOUSEHOLDS that Obama wants to INCREASE TAXES ON.

    The Obama campaign maintains that the number of small-business owners is what is important. ECONOMISTS know what MATTERS IS THE TAX RATE that is APPLIED TO the BULK OF SMALL-BUSINESS INCOME. Make NO MISTAKE about it: Obamas plan to raise taxes on households making more than $250,000 WILL RAISE TAXES ON MOST SMALL-BUSINESS PROFITS in America.

    What type of tax rate are we talking about? Currently, S CORPORATIONs face a top tax rate of 35 percent, while SOLE PROPRIETORS and GENERAL PARTNERS face a tax rate of 37.9 percent (since they are re responsible for paying both income tax and the Medicare component of the payroll tax).

    Under OBAMAS (TAX) PLAN to let the scheduled 2011 tax rate hikes occur, and his plan to raise the self-employment tax on those making more than $250,000, the S corporation rate WOULD RISE from 35 percent to 39.6 percent. The Sole Proprietor and

    (Part 2 of 2)

    Obama would GIVE THEM ALL A FISH WITHOUT TEACHING THEM HOW TO FISH. Pledging to CUT GLOBAL POVERTY IN HALF ON THE BACKS OF U.S. TAXPAYERS is a ridiculous and impossible goal.

    His legislation refers to the MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOAL, a phrase from a declaration adopted by the United Nations Millennium Assembly in 2000 and supported by President Clinton. It calls for the ERADICATION OF POVERTY in part through the REDISTRIBUTION (OF) WEALTH OF LAND and A FAIR DISTRIBUTION OF THE EARTHs resources. In other words: American resources.
    It is A MANTRA OF LIBERALS that the U.S. is only a small portion of the worlds population yet consumes an unseemly portion of the planets supposedly finite resources. Never mentioned is the fact that Americas population, just 5% of the worlds total, also produces a stunning 27% of the worlds GDP . . . to the enormous benefit of other countries. Nonetheless, THEIR SOLUTION is to SIPHON OFF THE PRODUCT OF OUR FREE DEMOCRACY AND DISTRIBUTE IT.

    WE ALREADY TRANSFER TOO MUCH NATIONAL WEALTH TO THE UNITED NATIONS and its busybody agencies. Obamas bill would FORCE (it will be mandatory) U.S. taxpayers to FORK OVER ' 0.7% ' OF OUR GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT EVERY YEAR to fund a global war on poverty, spending well above the $16.3 billion in global poverty aid the U.S. already spends.

    Over a 13-year period, from 2002, when the U.N.s Financing for Development Conference was held, to the target year of 2015, when the U.S is expected to meet its part of the U.N. Millennium goals, we would be spending an ADDITIONAL $65 BILLION ANNUALLY for a total of $845 billion.

    During a TIME OF ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY, the plan would COST EVERY AMERICAN taxpayer around $2,500 !

      Hey, Bozo, you may have noticed that each time I find you pasting your wild speculation pieces, I post a verifiable FACT. Now these facts are not very flattering to McCain, so you might want to talk to your handlers at HQ and see if they want you to stop with the distractions and smear pieces. Just trying to help, wouldn't want you to get fired in today's economy.....

    (Continued from my post above)

    (Part 2 of 2)

    Floridas FELON BAN originated before the Civil War, and today the state remains one of 10 that RESTRICT SOME FELONS FROM VOTING even after they have served their time. The law requires state and county elections officials to remove felons from voter rolls after conviction and add them only when they have won clemency to restore their voting rights.

    In 2007, the state eased the restrictions by granting automatic clemency to most nonviolent offenders who have completed their sentences. Others, including people convicted of federal offenses, multiple felonies or crimes such as drug trafficking, murder and sex charges, must still apply for clemency and have their cases reviewed.
    The FELONS the Sun-Sentinel identified NEVER RECEIVED CLEMENCY, but THEIR NAMES REMAIN ON FLORIDAS VOTER ROLLS. Some are well-known: ex-Broward Sheriff Ken Jenne and ex-Palm Beach County Commissioner Tony Masilotti, for instance, both convicted last year of public corruption.

    Browning said the state painstakingly checks all voters before removing them to avoid inadvertently taking off eligible voters as happened in two previous large-scale purge attempts.

    The policy of this department, this state, is that we will err on the side of the voter, he said. Florida registers voters largely on an HONOR SYSTEM, asking applicants to affirm on a SIGNED FORM that THEY ARE NOT CONVICTED FELONS or that their rights have been restored. STATE LAW REQUIRES the Elections Division to conduct criminal records checks only after voters are added to the rolls, and it takes months or even years to remove those who are ineligible, the Sun-Sentinel found.

    IT IS SCANDALOUS, really, said Lance deHaven-Smith, professor of public policy at Florida State University. Why do they have to cull the rolls after they get registered? They shouldnt get on the rolls in the first place.

    Palin called Troopergate guy [36 times], which is 30 times more than you called your ex last weekend
    Country first, as soon as you fire that sonofabitch. Alaska's Legislative Council is currently meeting over the scandal known as "Troopergate" to determine if vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin did anything improper in firing public safety commissioner Walt Monegan. Critics say the firing was merely revenge for Monegan's refusal to dismiss a trooper named Mike Wooten, with whom Palin's sister had a rather acrimonious child custody battle two years earlier.

    Seems that Sarah Palin was nothing if not persistent. New evidence in the case shows that Palin's office contacted Monegan 36 times over 19 months in an effort to force Wooten's dismissal. Even worse, only a handful of those calls were drunk dials.

    What was discussed during those 36 phone calls? We're not sure, but we can take a guess. After the jump, our own version of the telephone drama between Monegan and Sarah Palin.

    WASHINGTON ??? Former Alaska Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan said Monday he feels "relieved" by a legislative report concluding that Gov. Sarah Palin abused her authority by trying to have her former brother-in-law fired as a state trooper.

    "I've never contested my firing. My firing was completely lawful," Monegan said in a nationally broadcast interview. "It wasn't that I was fired that I asked any questions. It was, what were the reasons for the firing."

    Monegan declined to say in an interview with NBC's "Today" show what legal options, if any, he might be exploring in the wake of the findings announced late Friday in Alaska by investigator Stephen Branchflower.

    Monegan did say that he and his family were pleased with the report's conclusions.

    "Actually, I feel relieved," he said. "My wife and I have been through a lot. It's not a matter of being revenged. It's just strictly a matter of being relieved." Monegan was interviewed by telephone from Alaska.

    In his report Friday to a bipartisan panel that looked into the matter, Branchflower found Palin in violation of a state ethics law that prohibits public officials from using their office for personal gain. Palin has said that Monegan's tenure as the state's lead law enforcement officer ended because of policy differences.

    The inquiry looked into the dismissal of Monegan, who said he lost his job because he resisted pressure to fire a state trooper involved in a bitter divorce and custody battle with the governor's sister.

    "I feel vindicated," Monegan had said late Friday. "It sounds like they've validated my belief and opinions. And that tells me I'm not totally out in left field."

    On Monday, Monegan said the controversy "really isn't about me."

    "I think that we're more concerned about our governor," he added, "and I think she took a big blow to her credibility and more significantly to her promises of being open and transparent."

    Asked how he planned to vote in the November elections, Monegan said he didn't want to say, telling his interviewer that's why they "put those little curtains around" the polling booth.

    Palin spoke on the phone with Alaska reporters about the report. The McCain-Palin campaign only allowed one question per reporter. The journalists came from the Anchorage Daily News, KTVA-Channel 11 and KTUU-Channel 2. No follow-ups were allowed.

    The call can be heard HERE.

    "Well, I???m very very pleased to be cleared of any legal wrongdoing," Palin said, "any hint of any kind of unethical activity there. Very pleased to be cleared of any of that."

    That's just not the case.

    One can make the argument, as Palin and her allies have tried to do, that this investigation -- launched by a bipartisan Republican-controlled legislative body -- was somehow a partisan Democratic witch hunt, but one cannot honestly make the argument that the report concluded that Palin was "cleared of any legal wrongdoing" or "any hint of unethical activity."

    The investigator did conclude that Palin's firing of Monegan was within her power, that "although Walt Monegan's refusal to fire Trooper Wooten was not the sole reason he was fired by Governor Sarah Palin, it was likely a contributing factor to his termination as Commissioner of Public Safety. In spite of that, Governor Palin's firing of Commissioner Monegan was a proper and lawful exercise of her constitutional and statutory authority to hire and fire executive branch department heads."

    But it finds that Palin "knowingly, as that term is defined in ... statutes, permitted Todd Palin to use the Governor's office and the resources of the Governor's office, including access to state employees, to continue to contact subordinate state employees in an effort to find some way to get Trooper Wooten fired. Her conduct violated AS 39.52.110(a) of the Ethics Act..."

    The report states: "I find that Governor Sarah Palin Abused her power by violating Alaska Statute 39.52.110(a) of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act ... Compliance with the code of ethics is not optional...

    "The evidence supports the conclusion that Governor Palin, at the least, engaged in 'official action' by her inaction if not her active participation or assistance to her husband in attempting to get Trooper Wooten fired [and there is evidence of her active participation.] She knowingly, as that term is defined in the above cited statutes, permitted Todd Palin to use the Governor???s office and the resources of the Governor???s office, including access to state employees, to continue to contact subordinate state employees in an effort to find some way to get Trooper Wooten fired. Her conduct violated AS 39.52.110(a) of the Ethics Act...

    "Governor Palin knowingly permitted a situation to continue where impermissible pressure was placed on several subordinates in order to advance a personal agenda."

    McCain is a [Acorn Man] and other Republicans too !!!

    40% of Acorn's Registered Voters have been [Republicans]

    Hahahaha !!

    On Monday, the Democratic-leaning group ACORN, which has been painted as a criminal enterprise by the GOP for its voter registration and housing policy efforts, pushed back against its critics by producing a photo of John McCain attending its March 2006 rally.



    It was a reminder that, for all their electoral histrionics, Republicans have aligned themselves with ACORN in the past.

    Indeed, in addition to the McCain photo, there is a host of examples of prominent McCain surrogates attending ACORN events, signing ACORN legislation, or complimenting the group's efforts.

    Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, for example, partnered with ACORN in March 2008 for a "Homeownership Promotes The Economy" taskforce. More recently, Crist declared that -- contrary to GOP outrage -- he was not upset with the group's voter registration efforts in his state. The New York Times reported that ACORN supported a law signed by Governor Crist, which "changed the rules last year to restore the voting rights of about 112,000 former convicts."

    In July 2005, meanwhile, another Republican governor, Rick Perry of Texas, signed ACORN's Lending Law Reform Bill that changed the state's homelending practices.



    In July 2008, California Governor and McCain supporter Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill that ACORN helped draft aimed at California homeowners facing foreclosure.


    In June 2007, Minnesota Governor and McCain VP short-lister Tim Pawlenty signed a similar bill -- drafted by ACORN -- that helped homeowners get fairer deals on their mortgages.

    "The legislation was drafted according to recommendations made by a predatory lending study group established by Swanson prior to the legislative session," wrote the Northwestern Financial Review. "The study group contained representatives from the banking industry and the mortgage brokers association, as well as consumer advocates from organizations such as Illegal Aid and ACORN."

    As Governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney signed an anti-predatory lending bill that ACORN supported. In February 2006, Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman met with the ACORN Katrina Survivors Association. And back in July 2005, New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg actually got a kiss from ACORN's state leader, according to the publication City Limits, during an announcement that the city would protect or create 65,000 affordable units in a new housing proposal. Bloomberg, it should be noted, has not endorsed a candidate.

    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:
