In July of last year, Hillary Clinton gave an interview to New York Times reporter Michael Luo about her faith. It's a fairly in depth interview. Well, for your listening pleasure, The Brody File found the actual audio from the interview and it's really interesting. Reading the transcription of the interview is one thing, but hearing Hillary Clinton talk about her faith is very different. Listen here. You can read the transcription here. At the time, the article got significant play but some of the quotes from the whole interview never got used in the article. Here are some key quotes that I thought you might be interested to look at: Hillary Clinton: I believe in the father, ...

Confessions of an Obama Cultist

Confessions of an Obama Cultist An open letter by Justin Raimondo Dear fellow Obama-maniacs, Okay, I'm coming out of the closet, and admitting I'm one of you. There, I can say it, at last, out loud and proud: I'm a conservative-paleo-libertarian with a man-crush on Obama. Whew! What a relief! Now that I've got that off my chest, I can speak freely, and openly, about my condition – and, what's more, address my fellows in the spirit of mutual solidarity and support. Because it looks like we're going to need all the support we can get. First, my story: Like many of you, I tried to deny it. I lived deeply, and tragically, closeted, afraid to face my inner desires ...
Obama adviser says Clinton "a monster"

14 minutes ago LONDON - An adviser to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama apologized Friday for telling a Scottish newspaper that rival Hillary Rodham Clinton is "a monster." Samantha Power, a foreign policy adviser to Obama's presidential campaign and Pulitzer Prize winner, was quoted in remarks she later attempted to retract as saying in The Scotsman newspaper that Clinton was stooping to low tactics to recover ground in the race to win the party's presidential nomination. The Harvard professor is quoted as telling the newspaper Obama's team had been disappointed with Clinton's campaign win in Ohio on Tuesday. "In Ohio, they are obsessed and ...
Did Clinton Win Ohio on a Lie?

Did Clinton Win Ohio on a Lie? Posted March 6, 2008 | 01:20 PM (EST) Suppose someone in the North Korean government released a false story that shifted a key American election. If Bush were negatively affected, we might be bombing Pyongyang by now. But this just happened with what Hillary Clinton called "NAFTAgate" Without it, she might never have won Ohio, or her margin would have been minuscule. But as a Canadian Broadcasting Company story reveals, practically the entire story was a lie, one that played so central a role in Clinton's Ohio victory as to thoroughly taint any claim she raises about a swing state mandate. As the Ohio primary approached, Obama was steadily ...
Defense Contractor Seeks to Buy Diebold

Yahoo isn't the only target of an unwelcome takeover. Diebold Inc., maker of automated teller machines, security systems and voting machines, was the recent target of an unsolicited $2.63 billion takeover offer from United Technologies Corporation, a leading aerospace defense contractor, whose divisions also include Otis elevators. The offer, which Diebold disclosed this weekend, amounted to $40 per Diebold share at a time when Diebold stock was trading at around $24 a share -- or at least it was before news of the takeover was made public. The price has since risen to about $37 a share. Diebold rejected the offer, but this doesn't mean the deal won't eventually go through, ...

Article published Mar 6, 2008 McCain helped Bush see the light March 6, 2008 By Stephen Dinan - Analysis: Democrats argue that Sen. John McCain is just a continuation of President Bush's time in office, but if so, that's mostly because Mr. Bush has moved toward Mr. McCain on issues, not the other way around. As one of the dominant legislators of the past decade, Mr. McCain staked out positions on liberalizing immigration laws, overhauling campaign-finance rules, increasing troops in Iraq, addressing global warming and even cutting pork-barrel spending — only to see Mr. Bush tack toward him on each issue. Mr. Bush yesterday endorsed Mr. McCain in a brief press conference ...

Tuesday's second "Super Tuesday" was another display of putrid politics. Allegedly Marxist Hillary Clinton took Texas. Why wouldn't she? We all recall her famous words a few months ago, "No woman is an illegal." Texas is infested with illegal aliens and we know they're voting. A few days before this horse and pony show, Obama and Clinton exchanged spit over NAFTA. Both of them tried to out do each other for the sake of big labor in Ohio, a job devastated state. Neither one of them pointed out this treaty is unconstitutional and why. As the Ohio primary loomed with oodles of delegates, Obama (Elmer Gantry clone), and Clinton (Top Ten Most Corrupt Politician), ...
Advisers for Clinton Plan the Endgame

Advisers to Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton today began plotting a ground game, advertising budgets and a confidence-brimming outreach strategy in hopes of both scoring a big victory in April’s Pennsylvania primary and accumulating enough superdelegates over time to even the nomination fight against Senator Barack Obama. Mr. Obama, who had 11 straight primary and caucus victories in February, has enjoyed momentum lately in picking off superdelegates, the party leaders who have a vote in the nomination. Mrs. Clinton and her advisers now believe that with her victories in Texas and Ohio last night, she can convince superdelegates to stand with her after a Pennsylvania victory. She also ...

Our observer on the scene of the ballot counting process in Cuyahoga County describes it as "pure chaos." Ballot boxes are being thrown around the warehouse. A data card fell out of a handicapped voting machine and went sliding across the concrete floor. Vans holding ballots from precincts are lined up outside in a line several blocks long. Ballot boxes are coming in without security stickers. Officials are predicting 12 more hours of counting in Cuyahoga County. We also have reports that the board "hired" a group of kids to carry the ballot boxes into the warehouse, but the kids are leaving because it's late so the boxes are only 50% in the room. 200 precincts ...
Do-over in Michigan and Florida?

2 hours, 45 minutes ago WASHINGTON - Officials in Michigan and Florida are showing renewed interest in holding repeat presidential nominating contests so that their votes will count in the epic Democratic campaign. The governors of both states, along with top officials in Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign, are now saying they would consider holding a sort of do-over contest by June. That's a change from their previous insistence that the primaries their states held in January should determine how the states' delegates are allocated. Clinton won both contests, but the results were meaningless because the elections violated national party rules. Neither Clinton nor her rival ...

Howard Dean will not bend the party rules to grandfather in the disputed delegates from Michigan and Florida, the Democratic party chairman said in a statement today. Instead, he put the state parties on notice: either they can wait and allow the credentials committee to decide whether to seat their delegates, or submit to a re-vote sanctioned under DNC rules. "We look forward to receiving their proposals should they decide to submit new delegate selection plans and will review those plans at that time," he said in the statement. "Everyone seems to be asking what the DNC will do," a Democrat close to Dean said. "But the question is: what will the state parties ...

McCain Amendment Allowed U.S. Military Equipment Outsourcing

From the Kansas Democratic Party:
Yesterday, John McCain defended the Air Force decision to overlook Wichita-based Boeing Co. for a $35 billion contract to build airborne refueling planes, saying he would not work to overturn the decision and saying that military decisions should not be about creating jobs.

Sing, o muse, the wrath of Michelle By Spengler The wrath of swift-footed Achilles, of which Homer called his muse to sing, nearly lost the Trojan War for the Greeks. The wrath of swift-tongued Michelle Obama well might lose the White House for her husband. We had a peek into her diary last week when the Obama campaign finally made public her undergraduate thesis, titled "Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community". The contents of this remarkable document sharpen the profile of Obama's women that I offered last week (Obama's women reveal his secret Asia Times Online, February 26.) Barack Obama, I argued, evinces a preternatural sangfroid, for he is in America but ...

*Whew* I bet that was keeping people up at nights. That’s right…you have a religious leader on your show who has spouted off such crazy, hate-filled rhetoric and is endorsing the other party’s candidate, and the thing foremost on Beck’s mind (such as it can charitably be called) is whether Rev. “End Times” Hagee envisions a Democratic candidate as the fulfillment of the prophecy of the Apocalypse.

Ballot shortages plague Ohio primary amid unusually heavy voter turnout

A U.S. judge in Ohio granted a request late Tuesday from Senator Barack Obama's campaign to extend the voting hours in 21 precincts in Cleveland by an extra 90 minutes because of a lack of paper ballots. But because the order arrived after the polls had already closed, election officials were only able to reopen 10 polling stations, according to the Ohio secretary of state, Jennifer Brunner. That resulted in five additional votes being cast, Brunner said. After a recent state review of touch-screen machines that raised concern about them, paper ballots were made available at all precincts for those voters who wanted to use them. Many more voters took advantage of the option than ...
Hillary Can’t Beat Math

In the aftermath of her long-expected victories in Texas and Ohio, many of Hillary Clinton’s supporters are reveling in long-awaited cheering sessions and drawing convoluted scenarios for her nomination. Unfortunately for them, however, Clinton remains behind the eight-ball on the only metric that matters — delegate count. And she can’t beat math. There are few opportunities available for Clinton to make up the 100-vote lead that Obama holds among elected delegates. The scenarios that Clinton needs to come to fruition in order to trump the elected delegate math are fraught with difficulty and disadvantage. SCENARIO ONE: The superdelegates to the rescue. Clinton’s ...

Reps. Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich glided to victories in their House races yesterday, despite some tense moments earlier this year when it looked like the two long-shot presidential candidates would lose their seats to primary challengers. Both abandoned their presidential ambitions – temporarily, Paul promised – to tend to voters back home. In Texas, Republican Paul easily defeated his primary opponent, Chris Peden, a certified public accountant and city councilman from Friendswood, south of Houston. Peden had campaigned partly on the notion that Paul’s run for the White House made him a celebrity with zealous followers but hadn’t done anything to improve what Peden ...

Hillary Wins; Limbaugh is Laughing Posted March 5, 2008 | 12:09 AM (EST) Tuesday night was a good night for Rush Limbaugh. "I want Hillary to stay in this," he said on Fox News, because "I want the Democrats to lose. They're in the midst of tearing themselves apart right now. It is fascinating to watch, and it's all going to stop if Hillary loses." Limbaugh was interviewed Feb. 29 by Laura Ingraham, guest-hosting on the Bill O'Reilly show on the Fox News Channel. "If Obama is the nominee, we are doomed, " Limbaugh said on Feb. 6 to a Republican caller to his radio program. On Fox News, Limbaugh listed "another reason why we need Hillary to ...

This was pretty much a given. 27 minutes ago WASHINGTON - Hillary Rodham Clinton, fresh off a campaign saving comeback, hinted Wednesday at the possibility of sharing the Democratic presidential ticket with Barack Obama — with her at the top. Obama played down his losses, stressing that he still holds the lead in number of delegates. On a night that failed to clarify the Democratic race, John McCain Tuesday clinched the Republican nomination. Clinton won primaries in Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island, halting Obama's winning streak. Obama won in Vermont. Both Democrats insisted on Wednesday they had the best credentials to go head to head — or as Clinton put it "toe to ...

The morning after reviving her candidacy with two big primary wins, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) hinted Wednesday that she and Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) may wind up as ticket mates. “That may, you know, be where this is headed, but of course we have to decide who’s on the top of ticket,” Clinton said with a laugh on the CBS's “The Early Show.” “I think that the people of Ohio very clearly said that it should be me." Clinton's wins in Texas and Ohio mean the race will go on for at least seven weeks, to the Pennsylvania primary on April 22. Each side expects to harden its attacks on the other, creating potential complications in swiftly ...
