McCain and the MONEY
Barack Obama has raised 95 million dollars in the last 2 mos…McCain’s response? Get ready to accept public financing for the general and blast any democrat that doesn’t do the same as a hypocrit. Remember: Obama and McCain had the political equivalent of a handshake deal last year on this.
The MAC Camp has sent letters to thousands of donors and intends to RETURN about 3 million dollars in contributions made for the general election. The campaign is asking donors to SEND THE BUCKS BACK to McCain’s GLAC fund …a cool insider acronym for the legal and accounting expenses coffer which is actually tallied separately by the FEC.
The problem of course is that the general election matching fund, which is awarded to each candidate after their convention, is likely to be about 75-85 million dollars. The Dems convene in Denver 8/25-8/28. The GOP gather in St. Paul on 9/1. 85 million for each candidate to campaign the remaining two months to election day would seem plenty…but if you could bank twice that in advance would you disarm voluntarily?
Obama has a choice. McCain is preparing as though he does not.

Speaking of money how about that $109,000,000.00 Hillary and Bill made… and yet she still has the audacity to whine to and manipulate all those little ol ladies out there, whom are really scraping by from day to day, to reach deep in their pockets to give to her to march on against the mean mean ol boys who are trying to drag down this little trooper. It was so abused Hillary whining just last week about how much she is being out spent by Obama…yep poor little ol trooper Hillary…(told you she was worth millions)
Anybody who does not already know how they are going to vote in November regardless of the crisis du jour should just forget it.
Hillary is at it again. She just said in a live video feed on the NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams that the Civil Rights movement and the 26th amendment gave her the right to vote as a young woman. Just check the facts. The 26th Amendment was signed by President Nixon on July 5, 1971. Ms. Clinton was born on October 26, 1947. At the time of the passage of the 26th Amendment she was 25 years old and had already been eligible to vote for four years. Can this woman ever tell the truth?
Who’s flip -floping now???
The OBAMA Advisers are singing different tune???
– “Adviser Colin Kahl wrote in a policy paper for the Center for a New American Security that the United States should transition to an “over-watch” force of between 60,000 and 80,000 troops by the end of 2010, according to an article Friday in the New York Sun.
That appears to be at odds with Obama’s public position of removing all combat brigades from the country within 16 months of taking office.
Kahl told the Sun his plan would still keep the U.S. “out of the lead” and mainly in a “support role.” He said the plan had nothing to do with the campaign.
The Obama campaign said in a statement: “The writing of Mr. Kahl, one of hundreds of outside advisers to the campaign, is not representative of Barack Obama’s consistent policy position on the Iraq war.”
But Kahl’s plan seems to jibe with other advisers’ statements that Obama’s withdrawal timetables are more a goal than a firm policy commitment.
Foreign policy adviser Susan Rice, for instance, told reporters in February that Obama’s plan to end the war in 2009 is not absolute, and that he reserves the right to revisit troop levels in Iraq upon taking the oath of office….”
SHOULD WE BELIEVE OBAMA WHEN HE SAID “THIS IS A WRONG WAR?” – AND PROMISING AMERICANS THAT HE WILL END IT? BUT WE ARE HEARING TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM HIS SURROGATES???
WHAT IS THIS??? SAYING AND PROMISING SOMETHING BUT PLANNING TO DO DIFFERENT???
WHAT KIND OF PRESIDENCY OBAMA WILL HAVE?
– IF HE WILL BE SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE WHO IS PLANNING TO DO DIFFERENT THINGS THAN WHAT HE IS PROMISING TO AMERICAN PEOPLE???
– FLIP-FLOP!!! FLIP-FLOP!!! FLIP-FLOP!!! FLIP-FLOP!!! FLIP-FLOP!!! FLIP-FLOP!!! FLIP-FLOP!!!

A Presidential Salary is $400,000K per year. Hillary’s salary as a law partner before her husband got into office was around $60,000K per year. Her salary as a First Lady didn’t exist since she wasn’t any longer a law partner in her firm and she had no salary as a first lady. Her salary per year as a US Senator is $165,200K per year. Bill, as Governor of Arkansas made about $75,000 per year. As President back when Bubba was in office, he got paid $200,000K plus $50,000K in a non-taxable expense account. Now out of office, the Clintons made since 2000 a wopping $109 Million dollars, at least, this is what they claim as they most likely made much more. On Hillary’s $165,200 dollar salary and Bubba’s retirement salary of maybe $100,000 per year, how do these two scum bags accumulate $109 million dollars? Can you say “pay offs for oil”, “pay offs from the Chinese for stolen technology and nuclear secrets” and other dirty money? You make your own assumptions.
Book Sales just like Obama.
I like that “Obama Resign”- I think that I may run for a local office, retire and sell a book. This is the way to the pot of gold apparently. Maybe I will write a book for Democrats called “politics for Dummies” and make it a coloring book which includes all 64 of the crayola crans.
They can always earn money by selling nude pictures of themselves or starring in a sex tape.
Obama supporters has done a petition they do not want Obama to take public financing. Talk about Hillary lying Obama and his supporters are the worst.
Make Iran Glow
Angry man, lighten up. Your Bush and Cheney boys came to the White House as the richest men
America has ever elected! Congrats on your guys. They never paid their fair share of income tax.
Just wait until Bush and his V.P. leave office. I’m sure the money will be rolling in. As GW said in
regard to his days after he leaves office, “time to fill the coffers”.
At least the Clintons gave away $10 million to charity, what has GW and Dick done latey for America? Remember Reagan and his $900,000 speeches in Japan. GWBush, Sr. and his high
priced speech making, books, etc.? God, you warmongering Reps. have short memories!
Oh, that’s right, you’re fine examples of leadership in foreign and domestic areas as seen in America
today.
Not only was Sudam entrenched with terrorist, Sudam and his sons tortured and killed his people. God bless our troops for bringing down this tyrant and freeing his people .. I prey our men and women will be able to come home soon. They are fighting the evils of radical muslims, just as moderate mulims fight against also..they have came to America and we Americans need to wake up and stop degrading Bush and America for this fight and start worring over the radical muslims who hate us for our freedoms. America needs to start worring over Iran who will get that bomb.

Saddam and Terrorism:
Emerging Insights from Captured Iraqi Documents (Redacted)
Institute for Defense Analyses
November 2007 (released March 2008)
Volume 1 examines the relationships between the regime of Saddam Hussein and terrorism in its local, regional, and global context. Volumes 2 through 4 contain the English translations and detailed summaries of the original Iraqi documents cited in Volume 1. Volume 5 contains additional background and supporting documents.
Volume 1 (46 MB PDF)
Volume 2 (23 MB PDF)
Volume 3 (34 MB PDF)
Volume 4 (39 MB PDF)
Volume 5 (43 MB PDF)
Abstract: Captured Iraqi documents have uncovered evidence that links the regime of Saddam Hussein to regional and global terrorism, including a variety of revolutionary, liberation, nationalist, and Islamic terrorist organizations. While these documents do not reveal direct coordination and assistance between the Saddam regime and the al Qaeda network, they do indicate that Saddam was willing to use, albeit cautiously, operatives affiliated with al Qaeda as long as Saddam could have these terrorist–operatives monitored closely. Because Saddam’s security organizations and Osama bin Laden’s terrorist network operated with similar aims (at least in the short term), considerable overlap was inevitable when monitoring, contacting, financing, and training the same outside groups. This created both the appearance of and, in some ways, a “de facto” link between the organizations. At times, these organizations would work together in pursuit of shared goals but still maintain their autonomy and independence because of innate caution and mutual distrust. Though the execution of Iraqi terror plots was not always successful, evidence shows that Saddam’s use of terrorist tactics and his support for terrorist groups remained strong up until the collapse of the regime.

I find it amazing you guys/girls have been ranting about her tax returns and now you got them and you have to find something else to whine about. I would like to ask you if Obama has released his 2007 taxes. NOPE he didn’t wonder why?
Another thing Obama only gave 1% to charity while Hillary gave 10% so yea you go whine. I hear there is a whammy coming for Obama,lol you supporters may not like it………………Stay tuned secrets are about to come out about Obama..
He even lied about getting the troops out! He never planned it just said what he wanted voters to hear!
He didn’t take time out of his campaigning to go honor King. He thought it is more important to go to Indiana.
.) I have the best plan to cure the Mortgage Crisis – LIAR. [03/30/2008] You and your campaign buddy Penny SubPrime Bank Collapse Prizker have had your little fingers full of subprime cash – Obama has taken $1,180,103 from the top issuers of subprime loans: Obama received $266,907 from Lehman, $5395 from GMAC, $150,850 from Credit Suisse First Boston, $11,250 from Countrywide, $9052 from Washington Mutual, $161,850 from Citigroup, $4600 from CBASS, $170,050 from Morgan Stanley, $1150 from Centex, and last but certainly NOT LEAST – Obama received $351,900 from Goldman Sachs. I am sure that cash all came from folks who knew the subprime loan they had was a dream, eh?
19.) I Was A Constitutional Lawyer – LIAR, you were a senior lecturer ON LEAVE.
20.) Without Me, There Would Be No Ethics Bill – LIAR, you didn’t write it,introduce it, change it, or create it.
21.) The Ethics Bill Was Hard To Pass – LIAR, it took just 14 days from start to finish.
22.) I Wrote A Tough Nuclear Bill – LIAR, your bill was rejected by your own party for its pandering and lack of all regulation – mainly because of your Nuclear Donor, Exelon, from which David Axelrod came.
23.) I Have Released My State Records – LIAR, as of March, 2008, state bills you sponsored or voted for have yet to be released, exposing all the special interests pork hidden within.
24.) I Took On The Asbestos Altgeld Gardens Mess – LIAR, you were part of a large group of people who remedied Altgeld Gardens. You failed to mention anyone else but yourself, in your books.

Patty,
Are you a GOP or Democrate? identify yourself! I hope you are not a Clinton supporter.
This is America and the American dream is to make money. The Clinton’s did that and good for them. They also gave 10% back to charity not many Americans can claim that certainly not the Obama’s.
America First
I BELIEVE , THAT MOST OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO OBAMA IS COMING FROM LOBBY, OR LOBBIES WIFES, THAT IS WHAT i JUST HEAR ON RADIO STATION- 760 pROGRESIVE!!!, THAT LOBBY IS SUPPORTING OBAMA A BIG TIME. i WILL LIKE TO SEE THE LIST OF OBAMA SPONSORS. HE CLAIMS, THAT HE WILL NEVER COAPERATE WITH THOSE PEOPLE, BUT SEAMS, THAT HE GETS A BIG MONEY FROM THEM, ACUSING McCAIN AND HILLARY OF THAT, BUT HE IS THE ONE WHO PLAY DIRTY POLITICS, TELLING us-voters, THAT HE IS NOT. i WILL LIKE SOME INVESTIGATION IN THIS SCAM !!! All those, who are attacking Hillary, just dont see, that Obama is not so clean, as He claims, and He is in USA Governmet only 3 years, we will see, the true Obama very soon, I can imagine, how reach he became, and will You ask Him question, and attack HIM ,as You attacking Hillary , about His pass, taxes, lies. Suprise is aroun corner!!!
another event Obama miss, just about month ego, He didn’t bother to celebrate some big celebration, sorry I dont remeber,but Hillary was there, and I was wathing on MSNBC,Obama never said about what Clintons did for black community, Bill was call First Black President for reason, You black people seam to fergot about, or just dont want to remember, untill election in November, it will be to late.
I can see how realy unimportant You black People are for Obama, and white especjally, He learn hate, and racism form His Mentor Wright, He could not change over night, no way. It is all about HIS EAGLE, about HIM, and He got Ya , were He wants.
WHERE’S OBAMA AND MCCAIN TAX RETURNS?????????????????????
That’s all we’ve heard in a month about the Clinton’s and now that they are out, instead of asking for the other two, all you want to do is COMPLAIN that they have made a lot of money. I see so many people asking where it came from????? JUST LOOK AT THE COPY OF THE RETURNS OR READ (if you can) the entire report. It tells you those answers. Poor pitiful people, just hate the Clintons and are jealous of their success. GO HILLARY
Obama was too busy campaigning to speak at the State of the Black Nation, Hillary was the only candidate that attended (and they were ALL invited). Now he can’t even take time off from campaigning to go to Memphis to honor Martin Luther King, Jr. This should tell you blacks what he thinks of you and where you will be IF he gets to be President. You will ALL be let in the dust along with the typical white folks. WAKE UP BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. Vote HILLARY or MCCAIN
OBAMA MUST GO!!!!!! And I really don’t think bill will make a good first lady, so vote safe Mccain08
I am a “Clinton for President” supporter and I am in no way shy or ashamed of that! I am sickened at the idea of Obama possibly becoming the nominee; his “negatives” are far worse and controversial than either of the Clinton’s together! So many people were and remain “bamboozled” into thinking that Obama was different; the “bandwagon mentality” caused a frenzy of support without first really questioning or finding out who Obama really was/is. The media hype allowed for a free pass for Obama and quite frankly, many people were afraid to say much of anything in large part because he is black and did not want to be considered racist!
Mr Obama knew his Pastor would be a “liability” so he hid the guy in the background. The problem that I have is that I do not believe that one can attend a church for 20 years and have such a close relationship with the Pastor and claim to not have been even remotely influenced or carry some of the same beliefs as his “close personal friend, mentor and spiritual advisor” Reverend Wright!
What about “Rezko” and the supposed “10 minute” legal work Obama claimed but that which is proving to be much more substantial; that changed to a 17 year relationship with these guys winding up as neighbors that purchased homes on the same day! Who knows what else can come out on Obama that can cause McCain to win the general election? He is not the “paragon of virtue” that he has tried and continue to paint himself as. His campaign is quite underhanded and coy a well as full of deceit; the act of ommission purposely perpetrated is basically lying!
It is not too late for Clinton!
Good for you Patty in Arizona. Intelligent people know that McShamnesty is a liar and a loser.
Obama is going to win because President Bush has literally wrecked the Republican Party by playing on both sides of the fence. People are totally disgusted by what is taking place with our economy and how Bush has totally ignored working folks while allowing the corporate lobby to basically run our government. McCain is another Bush term in the White House and most people I talk with want no part of that! Obama will be “change” and a fresh start for the country. Haven’t we had enough Bush-Clinton Bush-Clinton? It’s time to break ground and start from scratch because this is the only way true change can happen inside our government.
Mc Cain and Hillary supporters, please think about what you are writing in these blogs. First you say that Obama is getting a free ride in the media, but they played the heck out of Rev. Wright. And please explain how any of us will know anyone based on speeches, promise, or ideas. If you think you know Hillary or McCain. you’re just fooling yourself. If Obama was not getting donations, you haters know that you would be critizing him for not getting them. But since he’s doing well, that is somehow bad. Ignorance is running rampart on most blogs because people are so passionate about one candidate that you are losing all logic and reasoning when your candidate is losing. Don’t be a sore loser, American won’t change enough for you to move to Europe.
Spending millions to get elected for a job that pays under $500 k per year. What is wrong with this picture? Should’nt we be spending this money on the homeless and starving right here in America? Gasoline prices are through the roof. Working class America is struggling to make ends meet and avoid foreclosure while these candidates are spending millions to get elected? “For the people-By the people” has long passed. Big government is spending and sending money all over the world while the American taxpayer is dropped into a larger hole every day. Does it really matter who gets elected? I think not because 95% of all politicians are “legal criminals”. Read the story this morning about the governement employees spending millions on extravagant dinner parties, suits, dating services, ETC.. ETC.. ETC.. Who else has thousands of dollars stashed in their freezer? Most likely all politicians. They are all in this for themselves and not for the working American. $109 million is not enough money.. we need MORE… Final thought.. who is doing Husseins (Obama’s), Hillary’s and McCains job while they are out spending $74 million in government grants to get elected? Pathetic..

You here, Holly?
Yes, I was on the other site .
Are you still here?
I’ll just wait here let me know when you get back…
I’m back!
Great, now where were we?
You had mentioned that you live in the part of NC that lost jobs to China…
I’m not sure which part that is.
Sadly, it may be the eastern, central, AND western parts.
Western, and yes I beleive that the NC mountains are so beautiful…
Where are you from or where do you live now? If I may sak?
I now live in the Sunshine State.
When I lived in NC I was in a little town called Shelby (in Cleveland County).
You know where that is?
Please do consider my typing gets awful when I get sleepy, I meant ask.
Yes I had an aunt who lived there for a couple of years?
I lived there (in Shelby) for 7 years.
Now I’m back home in South Florida where I was born and raised.
I see, I have been to Florida a few times and boy is it humid, alot different than the air here. What kind of work do you do, if you don’t mind me asking..
Do you remember interacting with a guy last week named ‘Mike in South Florida’?
A little, not very much, I was looking for a house at he beach the past few days and a few days last week, so my memory is a little fuzzy on the conversation we had , he was not some one I talk to on a regular basis. Do you care to inlight me on our conversation?
If I tell you something, will you promise not to tell the other guy who calls himself ‘American Conservative’?
Please do not promise me your confidentiality if you will not seriously and sincerely keep it.
Aren’t you afarid if you tell me that he will see it?
I don’t think he will unless you direct him to this thread at some future point.
He could have looked around for us and just be sitting there watching……..I can tell you that if you that I will give you my promise and I beleive a person is no better than thier word, So anything ask to be kept between us would remain between us…..If you feel it is safe.
Don’t know how that got so jumbled, but yes I will promise to keep it between only you and I.
We could look for him and see if he signed out for the night….what do you think??
I hate to be so paranoid…but if I tell you who I really am and he is lurking around, I don’t want him stalking me (and relentlessly calling me Ed Feeney and accusing me of all sorts of shenanigans) like he does now. I have an idea…
First, let me tell you – because of you – after this (tonight’s) conversation, I will not refer to myself as ‘American Conservative’ any longer. Secondly, I will reveal my identity in a future conversation with you. You’ll know it’s me because of the things I’ve learned about you tonight – I’ll mention something that only I would know. How’s that sound?
Okay, now you are killing me I’m dying to know, What you said will be fine with me but you had me all excited…
I want to shoot straight with you…let me think for a moment…
Are you still there?
I am…sorry.
Okay, we can change our names and go to another blog, but I only know a few thing about you so do you remember witch things?
Have you ever heard of a song by Simon and Garfunkel called ‘The Sounds of’ something?
If so, just say so, but don’t provide the missing word.
Don’t be sorry, we will figure it out.
Forget about my last riddle…tell me where to go, and you’ll know me when we get there.
If we get lost, just return here.
No,…sorry.
Okay,got ya, remember how I told you I got to the blogs that way we see them the same.
I do remember, but couldn’t get where we are that way! I don’t want to lose you again…
Okay, let me tell you that in a few years your little boy will love the movie were back, it is a cartoon about dinosaurs
Do you get me?
Just don’t forget the name it is an older movie, you should really go there to the vidoe store and check it out.
I just did!
Just look for the one that has that name……let me know if you are still here?
were back
Did get me or did forget the name?
I’m watching the movie. Join me in the theater. Can you recognize me?
Wear a disguise when you tap me on the shoulder…
Not yet see you as soon as I can get there>>>>>>>>
I’m gonna go now, Holly! All the best to you! Good night!

FOX News encourages you to participate in this discussion; however, comments that include unlawful, threatening, libelous, or obscene content will not be allowed.
THIS IS WHY I WILL NEVER BE A REPUBLICAN. THIS IS THE CHILD OF ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT SHAPE THE WAY MANY BLACK PEOPLE FEEL TODAY. It saddens me.
So called “Conservatives” are the most intolerant hateful people on the planet today. They hold everyone but themselves to a higher standard like it’s their God-Given right.
I don’t hate you folks though. I pray for you even though you hate everything about me starting with the color of my skin down to the church I attend. The fear that if we tire of your hate and do something about it must keep you awake at night.
Can’t we find common ground and find a solution to the problems that affect us all as Americans. If you were to meet me you would find that we have more in common than you think. I am more conservative than you are, I just temper it with compassion, love and understanding.
We pray to the same God, the same sun shine’s on our faces, we want the best for our children and yours.
You are children of God and I Love You very much, can you say and feel the same and really mean it like I do.

I wonder how much money McCain could raise if the Liberal Media had gotten wind of his admission of a man-crush on one of his high school teachers? And his love of gay author Somerset Maugham? The gays have a lot of money, I hear. But is it wise for McCain to openly go after it? Aren’t they mostly Democrats?
