The Return Of Rezko

This is real simple economics. How many full-time employees with benefits does a person with a $50,000 income personally employ? For most, none. How many does a person with $250,000 employ? One less under Obama's tax plan, two less if you include Obam's health plan.

Senator McCain served on the advisory board to the U.S. Council for World Freedom, a group which aided rebels trying to overthrow the leftist government of Nicaragua. As far as he knew, the purpose of that group was to battle communism in Central America. McCain had just been elected to the House of Rep in 1982. He was not an active member of the group. He resigned from the group in 1984 when he became aware of questions about it's activities. That is very different from launching his political career in the lving room of a man who is a domestic terrorist, married to another domestic terrorist, with no regrets about his activities.

And what about McCain's Nazi and Latin death swad ties. Do a search, its well documented (its on foxnews.com also).

McCain has these ties. However, Obama has not exploited them because supposedly McCain has changed. That is integrity from Obama. McCain has no integrity.

Yes We Can

Hubert Hoover our 31st President, was in office between 1929 and 1933. Like Senator Obama he was a progressive reformer and a humanitarian. He also promoted government intervention to combat the economic meltdown of his time. He raised the income tax on the highest incomes from 25% to 63%. Corporate taxes were raised. The economy spiraled into a deeper depression as a result of those policies. Franklin D Roosevelt accused Hoover of taxing too much, increasing national debt and blocking trade. Roosevelt's running mate, John Nance Garner stated that President Hoover was "leading the country down the path of socilaism". Unemployment rose to 24% during Hoover's Presidency. Does some of this sound familiar? I hope we are not doomed to repeat the same mistakes.

huhhhhh......that's all mccain's camp has? attack obama because they have nothing to offer. that's good to know. mccain, if only you cared for the middle class.

Obama's ill-conceived programs will require him to tax, and his health care plan alone is a substantial hidden tax on all business, large an small. In reality, it does not really matter who he taxes, those taxes are going to be passed through the economy. He has to tax, because it is they only way he can pay for his massive social engineering experiments. 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 Hoover and FDR, Obama's plans will only make it worse for longer.

"Barack Obama's campaign killed all interviews with a Florida TV station after Sen. Joe Biden, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, faced tough and critical questions from a reporter at the Orlando station, the Orlando Sentinel reported. In a communication which serves to put all other media on notice that an Obama administration will exercise media blackmail in response to tough questioning, the Obama camp killed a WFTV interview with Biden's wife Jill, according to an Orlando Sentinel blog.

"This cancellation is non-negotiable, and further opportunities for your station to interview with this campaign are unlikely, at best for the duration of the remaining days until the election," wrote Laura K. McGinnis, Central Florida communications director for the Obama campaign, according to the Sentinel.

Aquiles Suarez, listed as an economic adviser to the McCain campaign in a July 2007 McCain press release, was formerly the director of government and industry relations for Fannie Mae. The Senate Lobbying Database says Suarez oversaw the lending giant's $47,510,000 lobbying campaign from 2003 to 2006.
And other current McCain campaign staffers were the lobbyists receiving shares of that money. According to the Senate Lobbying Database, the lobbying firm of Charlie Black, one of McCain's top aides, made at least $820,000 working for Freddie Mac from 1999 to 2004. The McCain campaign's vice-chair Wayne Berman and its congressional liaison John Green made $1.14 million working on behalf of Fannie Mae for lobbying firm Ogilvy Government Relations. Green made an additional $180,000 from Freddie Mac. Arther B. Culvahouse Jr., the VP vetter who helped John McCain select Sarah Palin, earned $80,000 from Fannie Mae in 2003 and 2004, while working for lobbying and law firm O'Melveny & Myers LLP. In addition, Politico reports that at least 20 McCain fundraisers have lobbied for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, pocketing at least $12.3 million over the last nine years.
For years McCain campaign manager Rick Davis was head of the Homeownership Alliance, a lobbying association that included Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, real estate agents, homebuilders, and non-profits. According to Politico, the organization opposed congressional attempts at regulation of Fannie and Freddie, along the lines of what John McCain is currently proposing. In his capacity of president of the group, Davis went on record in 2003 and insisted that no further reform of the lenders was necessary, in contradiction to his current boss's sentiments. '[Fannie and Freddie] are subject to an innovative and stringent risk-based capital stress test,' Davis wrote. 'The toughest in the financial services industry.'

There hasn't been a Democrat majority in Washington since 1965, and before that, 1933. It looks like we are about to see another such event take place. By November 5, 2008 both houses of Congress and the Presidency will be in Democratic hands.

For those readers who can think for themselves, think back to 1965. Kennedy and the Civil Rights movement. A pivotal time in our history, one we can all be proud of. And 1933, when FDR gave us the New Deal and turned around the Great Depression. If you think about the past century, the only two times that we have had a liberal Democrat majority, America got STRONGER and BETTER.

Obama '08

GOP: We federalized credit. Nationalized the banks. Grew the National Debt and the size of government to their biggest size ever. Now emagine what that Socialist Obama will do!!

The links below to legitimate news sources that show that Fannie and Freddie paid many millions of dollars while the Rs were in control of the executive and legislative branches, lobbying Rs only, to prevent regulation of the financial practices that caused the global financial crisis.

One of the biggest recipients of those millions is Rick Davis, McC's campaign manager, who has been recieving up to $35k/mo. since '00 right up to the present. Freddie continued to pay Davis while Davis managed McC's campaign.

And Freddie donated $250k to the R convention.

These facts are everywhere in the legitimate news. You can start at http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/22/us/politics/22mccain.html and http://www.newsweek.com/id/164732/page/1 There's much more legitimate news on this.

But the Rs still try to deceive us that it was the Dems' fault, and that we must fear "that one".

I was a solid McC supporter and voter until I found out about who paid whom millions to be allowed to loot trillions from our economy, and until I realized how McC sold out to the the most extensive and virulent propaganda machine I have ever seen.

Hey everyone...I hear all sorts of things about Obama...like his "Associations" with folks like of Ayres, and then there's Khalidi and then a guy named Michael Klonsky and Rezko and then the religious dudes Flager and Reve Wright... and someone told me that while living in Hawaii his mentor was a guy name Fank Marshall Davis Gonna watch Sun(oct26) 9ET on Foxnews Sean Hannity's show on Obama to understand

Uhh NEOS.

Why did you fail to point out that two Obama supporters in Oregon are being held on arson charges after they threw Molotov cocktails at a McCain supporters house in Southeast Portand?[Portland Oregonian,Oct.11,2008]

You failed to notice that the District Attorneys office of Manhattan has filed felony assault and battery charges against an Obama supporter who beat a middle-aged woman on the corner of 51st St. and Lexington Ave.on Oct 9,2008 and left her with head injuries for the ''crime''of holding a McCain sign .[New York Post,Oct 14,2008]

Nor did you observe that the home of a McCain district campaign manager in Seminole Co.Florda on Oct.22,2008 saw his home shot up with .22 bullets and his lawn McCain signs ripped down.[Orlando News Channel 6,Oct 23,2008 WKNB].

Another son of a Tennessee congressman hacks Palins personal e-mails. Madonna compares McCain to the Nazis while on an Italian tour. A CNN reporter admits that he was ''dishonest'' regarding an ambush interview he [Drew Griffen]did with Palin last weekend. NEWSWEAK,in one of the most blatantly sexist articles aimed at a woman by the MSM in the modern era,compares Palin to a ''Caribou Barbie''.

Who is really being deranged here?

Note to Jon Meacham,Editor-in -Chief of NEWSWEAK:

For or against Palin,your descriptions of this person have been disgusting,sexist and beyond the pale of what a ''impartial media''consists of. While nominally opposed to Obama,based on his record, and not his race or gender, I have seen no equal to this sexist trash being levied at this woman.,being happily cheered on by those hypocrites that otherwise defend the worth of a woman in todays America. Oppose her if you must, based upon her record ,but leave your garbage where it belongs.To the tabloids,lest you lose even more than you have already lost.

It is irrational to not question the relationships of a man that has been in the national spotlight for so short a time. Believe it or not, many conservatives would like to see a black man as a President of this country also. Why, some conservatives are even black themselves! What a bombshell! Don't be so blinded by the idea of having a black presidential candidate who represents change, that you don't seriously enough consider what he stands for, or what changes would be made. He is obviously very well spoken, but it takes more than that to take our country in the right direction. Make sure that you focus on the issues, Both men have plans for restoring our nation's standing in the world, dealing with energy issues, and health care issues. Our current man-made economic problems will obviously limit what they can do. Senator Obama is well spoken and well meaning, but I am concerned about his prior associations and voting record that indicates liberal beliefs that do not represent the great majority of this country.

Palin is a fraud. She is a politician without even a basic knowledge of Civics, a Christian without compassion, and a leader without ethics. And the very people who buy into her simple little miss rural American act are the very same people who bought into the story of the poor little white girl who was attacked (and, gasp, sexually assaulted) by the black Obama supporter. For the sake of you who restrict your contact with the outside world to Rush and Fox news, I must inform you that it was all a terrible hoax. But the rush to judgement was quick and relentless by the hate-mongers whose whole political platform is centered on an irrational fear and hatred of Senator Obama. Gullible and willfully obtuse, they drag the political discourse into the mud. It is encouraging to see that the great majority of decent Americans, Republican, Democratic, and Independent alike are rejecting this assault on America.

After his many years serving in Congress, all you need to have done is follow his congressional record to know who he is. For those who understand the sacrifices he has made for this country, that should also tell you who he is, even if you don't agree with his politics. Obama has served in Congress only a couple of years. It is harder to know what he really stands for. A person's associations can tell you a lot about that person. Obama's associations and Congressional voting record tells us that he has very liberal ideas, perhaps more liberal than the great majority of our country would like. If he becomes our next President with the Democratic majority Congress, we may get more change than most of us have bargained for. By the way, Gov Palin has a very high code of ethics. She has been criticized for the firing of an Alaskan State Trooper who was drunk on the job, had made death threats against her family, and who had used a taser on a young child.
