    Small correction of that last post (I am a school teacher after all!) Huckalberry would be better of IF he joined the ROLLS of the Billary supporters...he would fit right in!

    DSMB2007 you are right on target. It was very apparent that neither Fineman or Huckalberry have any idea what Romney was about. His exit in favor of national security wasn't an issue of whether he could do the job, which he could, but a statement that Macain is the only candidate left who even has a thought on how to handle national security; and with Huckalberry and Macain teaming up to defeat Romney in key primaries thus eliminating the best candidate for the country, Romney has taken the simple stand that even Macain might be better than Billary or Obama. Huckalberry is still in a thick cloud of delusion if he believes he has a chance to be elected President. Finally, if you want to criticize someone's campaign and tag it as being "dirty", don't forget that the supposed "christian" Huckalberry was the only candidate to question the constitutional freedom of religion when he attempted to make religious affiliation an issue....what a complete and total hypocrite!!! Huckalberry would be better off he joined the roles of the Billary supporters...he would fit right in.

    Boy, you can just tell how Mr. Fineman feels about Romney. I've never seen an interviewer give such leading questions. "I think Mr. Romney was a fake. What do you think?" Hardly objective questioning. Plus, he adds gems like "I think of you as someone who speaks from the heart..." I wonder who he is trying to make look good. Romney was the best choice we had, maybe not the perfect choice, but the best choice. And possibly the only choice that is not downright bad. And know we're going to have to find that out the hard way.

    So are we ready for our choice of the three liberal "democrats". It won't matter much who you vote for. Billary, Borat or Inscain. Come and get your 50% tax rate, roll-over international policy and spanish as the "National Language". Why would I managedq Billary? It will say what she wants you to believe--which has nothing to do with reality.

    What Romney did in Maine proves his strength. He won over 50% of the vote even though both senators endorsed McCain and attended the caucuses speaking for McCain. I have great expectations for the Presidential vote in Nov. Romney is the only candidate who overwhelms those expectations. He is the economic genius, is against illegal immigration. Romney is set to fix our economy and to save the principles upon which the republican party was founded.

    It's funny: Romney's the smartest of all candidates with a really impressive resume, and nobody cares. good essay about the election at top of www.darrellepp.com. And MCCain's nasty comments re: socons could still hurt him.

    Founding Member of the Keating Five
    Back in the old days, defendants in famous trials got numbers -- the Chicago Eight, the Gang of Four, the Dave Clark Five, the Daytona 500. McCain was one of the "Keating Five," congressmen investigated on ethics charges for strenuously helping convicted racketeer Charles Keating after he gave them large campaign contributions and vacation trips.
    Charles Keating was convicted of racketeering and fraud in both state and federal court after his Lincoln Savings & Loan collapsed, costing the taxpayers $3.4 billion. His convictions were overturned on technicalities; for example, the federal conviction was overturned because jurors had heard about his state conviction, and his state charges because Judge Lance Ito (yes, that judge) screwed up jury instructions. Neither court cleared him, and he faces new trials in both courts.)

    Though he was not convicted of anything, McCain intervened on behalf of Charles Keating after Keating gave McCain at least $112,00 in contributions. In the mid-1980s, McCain made at least 9 trips on Keating's airplanes, and 3 of those were to Keating's luxurious retreat in the Bahamas. McCain's wife and father-in-law also were the largest investors (at $350,000) in a Keating shopping center; the Phoenix New Times called it a "sweetheart deal."


    Mafia ties:
    In 1995, McCain sent birthday regards, and regrets for not attending, to Joseph "Joe Bananas" Bonano, the head of the New York Bonano crime family, who had retired to Arizona. Another politician to send regrets was Governor Fife Symington, who has since been kicked out of office and convicted of 7 felonies relating to fraud and extortion.

    Family Problems
    McCain has a reputation as a politician who has difficulty keeping his pants zipped, according to Republican sources. He acknowledges that his adultery broke up his first marriage. His second wife Cindy, the daughter of a wealthy Budweiser beer distributor, was addicted to prescription narcotics and even stole hard drugs from a medical charity that she ran. McCain acknowledges that she didn't want him to run, and only agreed once he promised that she doesn't have to go to New Hampshire or Iowa.

    Here is a quote from an article written by Danny Ayalon, the former Israeli Ambassador: ???The war in Iraq, the upheaval and uncertainty in the international arena, favors a candidate with greater experience in international affairs, such as Senator McCain on the Republican side, and Hillary Clinton on the Democratic side.??? The article was published on January 3, 2008 in the Jerusalem Post newspaper. What this makes clear, is that AIPAC, the Israeli Lobby, wants these two candidates, because they believe they will be best for Israel. And they have tried to rig the primary process in such a way that will ensure that these two are the nominees. What they did not plan for was Barack Obama???s appeal, or for the economy to become such an issue as to favor Gov. Romney???s resume. But that does not mean that they have given up on their plans. They are using every trick in the book to get McCain and Hillary nominated. They especially like McCain, because they think that he is a proud, empty suit(like Dubya) that will, therefore, be easily controlled. I am also sure that he has promised that he will attack Iran for them, if they get him elected. But no one will ask him this question, because the media mossad is under the total control of AIPAC.

    Now I realize that politics works on the mantra: ???He who has the gold, makes the rules.??? But should that count even if it is contrary to the country???s best interest? The fact of the matter is that Israel???s interests are no longer compatible with America???s. They want regime change in the Middle Eastern countries, what they call transforming the Middle East. However, such moves require our going to war for them, over and over and over and over again. We are facing a recession and cannot afford to focus on proxy wars. So, how does their buying and/or stealing an election help this country? It doesn???t. It ONLY helps Israel. The sad thing about it is that there isn???t anyone who will deny them this self-destructive victory. All of our politicians are afraid of them. The voters in this country are so gullible and easily brainwashed, that it is pathetic. Our so called leaders are nothing but a bunch of avaricious wimps. They care more about their political careers than they do their country. They place money over morality and riches over righteousness. I am ashamed of the men in this country. How can you politicians look at yourselves in the mirror, knowing that you have sold out your country for your own selfish ambitions?

    Everyone should watch ???9/11 The Zionist Order??? on youtube.

    There is no greater issue than the ability to unify the country to actually get something DONE. Bush is the most divisive individual in politics...Hillary is a close second. As qualified as she *is*.....she will simply be the "other side of the same coin"....and accomplish very little. At least Obama has a *chance* to build a true american coalition...and he deserves to be given that opportunity. THAT...is what Ted Kennedy endorsed.

    Read "The Kennedy Mystique" by David Brooks in the NY Times. His critique of the ugly Clinton campaign is "spot on".

    Its a joke, focus on the real issues

    Kennedy just endorse the person he thinks might bring the most attractive women along in the cabinet. Apparently Obama's cabinet would be looking pretty hot.

    In His Own Words............Barrack Obama
    "There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs," he wrote. "It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names."

    He added: "To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists."

    Obama said he and other blacks were careful not to second-guess their own racial identity in front of whites.

    "To admit our doubt and confusion to whites, to open up our psyches to general examination by those who had caused so much of the damage in the first place, seemed ludicrous, itself an expression of self-hatred," he wrote.

    In the period from high school in Hawaii, to Columbia University and then to the streets of Chicago as a community organizer, Obama is the classic angry young black man, describing his world thusly:

    "We were always playing on the white man's court -- by the white man's rules. If the principal, or the coach, or a teacher wanted to spit in your face, he could, because he had the power and you didn't. The only thing you could choose was withdrawal into a smaller and smaller coil of rage."

    Obama once described the white race as ???that ghostly figure that haunted black dreams.???

    ???That hate hadn't gone away,??? he wrote, blaming ???white people -- some cruel, some ignorant, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.???

    During college, Obama disapproved of what he called other "half-breeds" who gravitated toward whites instead of blacks. And yet after college, he once fell in love with a white woman, only to push her away when he concluded he would have to assimilate into her world, not the other way around. He later married a black woman.

    Obama???s book is primarily about his rejection of his supportive white maternal extended family in favor of his unknown black paternal extended family.

    At age 33, he wrote in "Dreams from My Father, that " he found solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against his mother???s race.

    Obama vowed that he would "never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father???s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I???d packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela."

    In his memoir, "Dreams of My Father," Obama writes of a story in Life magazine that influenced him -- about a black man trying to bleach his skin white. No such article could be found in Life or Ebony.

    Please don't forget that the Clinton's have a proven inability to tell the truth. They will say whatever they think you want to hear---the truth will only come out if you elect them (you will get them both) and the country won't survive the process.
