Rightwing Previews Its Anti-Obama Attacks: ‘Shady Chicago Socialist’ Jon Ponder | Feb. 19, 2008 It is a fundamental rule of politics: If you don’t define yourself, you will be defined by your opponent. Barack Obama’s charisma and inspirational message may have his supporters fainting in the aisles but his bio and voting records are a blank slate for Republicans to fill, if Obama gets the nomination, which appears increasingly likely. Republicans noise-machiners met recently to develop lines of attacks against Obama. In yesterday’s London Sunday Times, Grover Norquist, who once compared the U.S. government to something he’d like to drown in a bathtub, rolled ...

Article published Feb 19, 2008 Call the brokers, we need relief Rutherford B. Hayes February 19, 2008 By Wesley Pruden - Brokered conventions, Florida primaries, rude opponents and anything that goes bump in the night unhinges the two men and a woman who would be president. (One of them cries a lot.) If a rude opponent renders a candidate weak in the knees and soft in the spine, what would any one of them make of an angry mullah waving a Koran and a bloody scimitar, or that guy in Pyongyang with the goofy haircut? The prospect of a brokered convention is the current wraith in the shadows. You can understand why John McCain, Barack Obama and Hillary want coronation ceremonies, but the ...
McCain - Last Republican President and Father of the One Party System

In the unlikely event that John McCain gets elected president, he will be the last Republican president. John McCain will finish the job of keeping the Republican Party divided over spending, the war and open borders/immigration law enforcement that was started by President Bush. Secondarily, McCain will give amnesty to 20+ million illegal aliens that will register Democrat at the end of the McCain-Kennedy earned path to citizenship. Click for Full Text!
MORAL OBLIGATIONS TO STOP McCAIN

The U.S. has had Presidential candidates and Presidents who were known criminals, prevaricators and very immoral, promiscuous men who harmed national security. John McCain is no exception. However, does the public and do Republican delegates and leaders really want to pay the same costs in the future of America for McCain that they paid in the past for nominating and helping elect illicit Presidents? This article contains a description of many of the known crimes, moral transgressions and allegations of nuclear treason by John McCain. Some of these crimes may have been felonies and if so, would have also made McCain ineligible to be President should he have been prosecuted (as he should ...
McCain Still Short of Nomination

WASHINGTON - Not so fast, Sen. McCain. John McCain's campaign issued a statement last week claiming the Arizona senator had surpassed the number of delegates needed to secure the GOP nomination for president, after Mitt Romney endorsed him. John McCain sure looks like he has the nomination all but wrapped up. But he isn't there yet, and here's why: It will take 1,191 delegates to secure the Republican nomination at the national convention this summer. McCain has 908 delegates, including those won in primaries and caucuses as well as endorsements from party leaders who automatically attend the convention. Romney has 253, according to The Associated Press tally. Together, ...
McCain Campaign Banked on Taxpayer-Funded Bailout

McCain Campaign Banked on Taxpayer-Funded Bailout By Paul Kiel - February 18, 2008, 5:15PM As The Washington Post reported on Saturday, John McCain's campaign struck a canny deal with a bank in December. If his campaign tanked, public funds would be there to bail him out. But if he emerged as the nominee, there'd be no need for public financing, since the contributions would come flowing. It's an arrangement that no one has ever tried before. And it appears that McCain, who has built his reputation on campaign finance reform, was gaming the system. Or as a campaign finance expert who preferred to remain anonymous told me, referring to the prominent role that lobbyists have ...
OBAMA'S INTERNATIONAL SOCIALIST CONNECTIONS

Campaign workers for Senator and presidential candidate Barack Obama are under fire for displaying a flag featuring communist hero Che Guevara. But Obama has his own controversial socialist connections. He is, in fact, an associate of a Chicago-based Marxist group with access to millions of labor union dollars and connections to expert political consultants, including a convicted swindler. Obama’s socialist backing goes back at least to 1996, when he received the endorsement of the Chicago branch of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) for an Illinois state senate seat. Later, the Chicago DSA newsletter reported that Obama, as a state senator, showed up to eulogize Saul ...

Mon Feb 18, 3:30 AM ET MILWAUKEE - Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign released a 13-page blueprint for fixing the economy Monday, detailing the former first lady's plans to achieve universal health care, address the home foreclosure crisis and develop jobs for the middle class. The pamphlet, which will be distributed to voters at campaign events and posted online, outlines many of the ideas she talks about on the campaign trail each day. But by pulling them together, the document resembles a populist manifesto — with Clinton championing the needs of working-class voters over corporate and business interests. (LOL!! Got to love it! In other words, she is going to ...

The War Party Targets Obama They'll never let him become president by Justin Raimondo He's said it many times, in many different venues, and perhaps the words change a bit over time, and the cadences, too, but the message is always the same: "I think the pundits have it wrong. I think the American people have had enough of politicians who go out of their way to look tough, who say one thing in a caucus and another in a general election. When I am the nominee of our party, the choice will be clear. My Republican opponent won't be able to say that we both supported this war in Iraq. He won't be able to say that we really agree about using the war in Iraq to justify ...

Barak Obama Fronts Wall Street's Infrastructure Swindle - What Change Really Means

17/02/08 "ICH" -- -- Do not be fooled! Barak Obama's call for National Infrastructure Reinvestment Bank (NIRB) does not signal the return of the Democratic Party to the values of FDR and a revival of the Constitutional prerogative to 'promote the general welfare', but would rather provide more welfare for Wall Street and worse. Obama's plan is nothing more than the direct means of instituting the Rohatyn-Rudman National Investment Corporation (NIC) plan called for in 2005, which in essence is a revival of Mussolini's methods of corporatist control of the state in a politically correct post modern fashion.. When Senator Obama states that his National Investment ...

Republican presidential frontrunner John McCain walked away with commitments Saturday of an overwhelming majority of Louisiana delegates to the party’s September nominating convention. The development shuts out former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who finished first in Republican balloting in Louisiana’s Feb. 9 presidential preference primary. Huckabee, a former Baptist minister, is guaranteed no delegates, although he won the popular vote. He earlier called Louisiana’s delegate selection process, “goofy.” “Party activists and party leaders believed — as they looked at the field and what’s going on — Huckabee does not have the numbers to ...

Americans are being told by the mainstream media that conservatives have no other choice than to back the hypocrite from Arizona. All that is required is to pretend he is "really" a conservative. "So, crawl under the big Republican tent and vote for McCain," we are told. "Besides, what other choice do you have?" We have plenty of choices, none of which calls for casting our vote for the lesser of two presidential evils. First, the Republican race isn't over. Huckabee is still around and as Kansas and Louisiana should point out, the Romney vote flocked to Huckabee. Not that they loved Huckabee, but that they have zero trust in the promises of McCain. Even ...

Ron Paul's decision to forego a third party presidential bid this fall, along with any chance of being on the ballot, has left a lot of Libertarians and Constitutionalists, along with a lot of disgruntled Republicans, Democrats and Independents, with somewhat of an empty feeling. It's been a couple of hundred years since a candidate with Paul's passion for a Constitutionaly limited government has captured as much national attention. (Dr.Paul received more votes from Republican primaries on just Super Tuesday than any Libertarian Party candidate has in any general election since I've been affiliated with the party.) His decision not to run dashed a lot of hopes. It would be ...

February 16, 2008 -- Barack Obama's primary-night results were strikingly under recorded in several congressional districts around the city - in some cases leaving him with zero votes when, in fact, he had pulled in hundreds, the Board of Elections said today Unofficial primary results gave Obama no votes in nearly 80 districts, including Harlem's 94th and other historically black areas - but many of those initial tallies proved to be wildly off the mark, the Board of Elections confirmed. Truth is, in some districts getting a recount, the senator from Illinois is even close to defeating Hillary Clinton. Initial results in the 94th District, for example, showed a 141-0 sweep for ...

‘Senator Hothead’ Works to Bury Hatchet With Colleagues

WASHINGTON — Temper, temper. Republican John McCain is known for his. He’s been dubbed “Senator Hothead” by more than one publication, but he’s also had some success extracting his hatchet from several foreheads. Even his Republican Senate colleagues are not spared his sharp tongue. “F— you,” he shouted at Texas Sen. John Cornyn last year. “Only an a—— would put together a budget like this,” he told the former Budget Committee chairman, Sen. Pete Domenici, in 1999. “I’m calling you a f—— jerk!” he once retorted to Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley. With Cornyn, he smoothed things over quickly. The two argued ...

US Elections: The Iraq Factor By Ramzy BaroudGlobal Research, February 15, 2008 As the race for the United States presidential nominations progresses, the stances of and attitudes towards both Republican and Democratic candidates continue to bring up causes for concern, in terms of their past behaviour, current appeal and general trustworthiness.Republican Mitt Romney's exit has practically assured Senator John McCain's victory in his party. While we might expect McCain's narrow-mindedness and pro-war rhetoric to make him an uncontested darling of conservatives, the doubts that remain about his credibility -- and the seemingly absurd accusations by some that he is more liberal ...
Election 2008: A Forrest Gump Thing

Since October 2007, three of my articles about Election 2008 have been published here. My first article described Election 2008 as something similar to "Theater of the Absurd." My second article downgraded Election 2008 to a game of "Trivial Pursuit." And my third article again downgraded Election 2008 into an ongoing soap opera like "As The World Turns." This article brings still another downgrade. This time, Election 2008 has hitanother new low—down to Forrest Gump discourse. Forrest Gump was both a character in a novel and in a movie years later.He’s best remembered for saying, "stupid is as stupid does." In the movie, Forrest was ...
Jewish Functionaries stirring the Clinton-Obama race

Tensions in the race between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination are mirrored in the American Jewish community. As the gap between the front-runners narrowed in the primaries, the clash between the two Jewish camps has become more heated.
Official Israel is making an effort to maintain a respectable neutrality. Has-beens are being called into the ring, like a former ambassador to Washington, Dan Ayalon, who jabbed Obama in a sensitive spot - the volume of his support for Israel. Ayalon is not alone. Jewish advisers and non-Jewish supporters are almost obsessively occupied with searching for skeletons in the black candidate's past.

Matthews Calls Clinton Press Shop "Lousy," "Kneecappers" February 15, 2008 09:14 AM Chris Matthews fired a salvo at the Clinton campaign this morning after both he and his MSNBC colleague were privately and publicly rebuked for recent comments deemed misogynistic or inappropriate. Appearing on MSNBC's Morning Joe, the Hardball host went off on the Clinton press shop, calling them "knee cappers" who were "lousy" and delve in the business of "intimidation." "What she has to do is get rid of the kneecapers that work for her, these press people whose main job seems to be punishing Obama or going after the press, to building a ...
