McCain accused of accepting improper donations from Rothschilds Global Research, April 30, 2008 guardian.co.uk - 2008-04-29 Republican presidential candidate John McCain speaks in Cincinnati, Ohio. Photograph: Joshua Lott/Getty A US campaign watchdog has accused presumptive Republican president nominee John McCain of violating election laws by accepting campaign contributions from two prominent Londoners. At issue is a fundraising luncheon held in March at London's Spencer House, during McCain's swing through the United Kingdom. An invitation to the event lists Lord Rothschild and Nathaniel Rothschild as hosts, and indicates the event was made possible with their "kind ...

CNN showed a bite of Hillary at a meeting with some editorial board. She was surprised that every since Iowa, she said, everyone wanted her to 'get out'. She said that it was unprecedented because some other Demo primary seasons lasted through June. She mentioned a few, then she said... Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June 68... Her slip of the tongue may indicate that she's in the race because she hopes that Obama might be taken down before gets to run the White House.
Obama backs off from pledge to talk with Iran

Barack Obama has begun to edge away from his offer to pursue talks with Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad after being hammered by Republicans as an "appeaser". Now on the cusp of securing the Democratic nomination, Obama yesterday continued to attack John McCain, his likely Republican opponent in November, over his hawkish foreign policy. "He has spent his last week describing his foreign policy as who he won't talk to," Obama told a rally in Florida yesterday. After Tuesday's primaries, in which Obama lost badly to Hillary Clinton in Kentucky but won well in Oregon, he is now just 65 delegates away from the Democratic nomination. But with the November election ...
Congressman admits Democrats "stretched the facts," misled anti-war supporters about supposed plans for ending War

Congressman Paul Kanjorski (D-PA) has been a fairly undistinguished member of the House of Representatives for nearly a quarter of a century. He is a career member of the Financial Services Committee who has made little or no name for himself since his first electoral victory, and has maintained incumbency through the funneling of pork back to his district. Even his Wikipedia entry says that Kanjorski "usually plays behind-the-scenes roles in the advocacy or defeat of legislation and steers appropriations money toward improving the infrastructure and economic needs of his district." “But [in] the temptation to want to win back the Congress, we sort of stretched the facts - ...

Clinton campaign left bills unpaid at IU Associated Press Posted: May 23, 2008 BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign has moved on from Indiana, leaving behind $55,000 in unpaid bills for campaign events at Indiana University. The debts are for appearances made by Clinton, former President Bill Clinton and their daughter, Chelsea, during March and April leading up to Indiana's May 6 primary. Barack Obama's campaign, meanwhile, has already paid the $108,142 it owed IU for two Assembly Hall events -- a rally featuring the Illinois senator and an Obama-sponsored concert by Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds. The university charged the campaigns for ...
McCain’s Health Records

The status of Senator John McCain’s health over the course of the last eight years or so will be a primary topic of discussion today, as some of his medical records have been made available for the media to review. Mr. McCain, at 71, would be the oldest president to assume office were he elected; his history of melanoma, a serious form of skin cancer, and degenerative arthritis are two major illnesses that emerge from the documents. (He is reportedly cancer-free now.) And inasmuch as the details are likely to dominate today’s news cycle, the timing window is interesting, given that attention will likely shift suddenly to Mr. McCain’s weekend plans. He’s hanging out on ...

BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) - Barack Obama is promising an "unshakable commitment" to Israel if he is elected president. The Illinois senator also says he hopes his presidency would help improve strained relations between American black and Jewish communities. The Illinois senator was speaking a town hall meeting at a synagogue in Florida on Thursday. Democratic presidential candidates didn't campaign in Florida during the primary, but Obama is focusing on the state now that he's close to wrapping up the nomination. Some Jewish voters are turned off by his willingness to negotiate with countries like Iran and Syria. Others reject Obama because of e-mails spreading false ...
Bilderberg Luminary To Select Obama’s Running Mate

It has been announced that Bilderberg luminary and top corporate elitist James A. Johnson will select Democratic candidate Barack Obama’s running mate for the 2008 election and in turn potentially act as kingmaker for America’s future President. Johnson also selected John Kerry’s running mate John Edwards in 2004 after Edwards had impressed Bilderberg elitists Henry Kissinger and David Rockefeller with a speech he gave at the globalist confab in Italy that year. The news further puts to rest any delusions that Bilderberg is a mere talking shop where no decisions are made. In reality, the group is shaping some of the primary developments in the domestic and geopolitical ...

FOUNTAIN HILLS, Ariz. - Three-time melanoma survivor John McCain appears cancer-free, has a strong heart and is in otherwise general good health, according to eight years of medical records reviewed by The Associated Press. The Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting remains at risk for developing new skin cancers, and gets a thorough check by a Mayo Clinic dermatologist every few months. "I do not see any worrisome lesions," Dr. Suzanne Connolly concluded after McCain's most recent exam, on May 12. The details of McCain's health are contained in 1,173 pages of medical documents spanning 2000 to 2008 that his campaign made available to the AP to make the case that ...

Daily Presidential Tracking Poll

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows John McCain earning 46% of the vote while Barack Obama attracts 42%. This is the first time in nearly three weeks that either candidate has enjoyed a four-point advantage (see recent daily results). McCain’s edge can be traced directly to the fact that just 66% of Democrats say they will vote for Obama at this time. Twenty-three percent (23%) of all Democrats say that if the election were held today, they’d vote for McCain. Another 11% would opt for “some other candidate” or remain undecided. McCain, who wrapped up the GOP nomination more than two months ago, attracts 79% of Republican votes and ...
Obama's Ill-Timed Tax Increases and Economic Ignorance

Poster Comment:This is an RNC ad exposing Obama's lack of economic sense. A Recession is the worst time to raise taxes. Tax increases in recessions often do not yield more tax revenue. California raised the sale tax rate temporarily after the 1989 earthquake but did not collect more taxes. The ad would have been tougher if they had explained that capital gains also taxes you for inflation since your purchase so the IRS is punishing you for the Federal Reserve's incompetence. But that would have exposed the Republican party's support of the Federal Reserve system too.

Obama, who was tied with McCain in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup last month, moved to a 48 percent to 40 percent lead over the Arizona senator in May as he took command of his grueling Democratic presidential duel with rival Hillary Clinton.

Dear Brian, Our Party needs to pull together, and we need to do it now. Never in memory have the Democrats, liberal special interests groups, labor unions and unregulated "527" soft-money groups come together with so much money and so much determination toward one purpose: Defeating Republicans. They want the White House. They want Congress. They want total control of government. And with record-breaking fundraising and voter turnout in Democrat primaries and caucuses nationwide, the challenge to our Party is greater than at any time in modern history. I truly believe the only way we can stop the Democrats is if dedicated Republicans, like you, step forward immediately and ...

SEATTLE - For four years on Mercer Island, Stanley Ann Dunham impressed her high-school classmates with a wickedly sharp wit. She was an "intellectual rebel" with a fledgling beatnik sensibility that would eventually take her around the globe.
However, shortly after high school graduation in 1960, she vanished from the Seattle area, and would have been little more than a foggy memory to most - if not for a son she had just a year later: Barack Obama

Obama In Portland. A first take. I saw Barak Obama in Portland on Sunday. I do not normally get caught up in shouting and crowd dynamics. And this event was no exception. But I was moved. Deeply. Quietly. I found myself about 30 yards off the main stage watching, watching closely. And listening closely to what was being said. While Obama spoke the obligatory crowd pleasing lines it was notable to me that he did not seem to be trying to whip up the crowd into emotional frenzy. In fact it seemed the opposite. A couple times the crowd wanted to get into the “Yes we Can” chant. Obama seemed to let it run its course and then proceed w/ his remarks. Not that I have anything against ...
