- Through Mr. Abu Naba%u2019a%u2019s connections, Mr. Sargeant has raised more than $100,000 in contributions from several dozen Arab Americans in California, including the Abdullahs, for four candidates: Mrs. Clinton, Mr. Giuliani, Mr. McCain and Charlie Crist in his successful campaign for Florida governor in 2006. Mr. Crist is a close friend and college fraternity brother of Mr. Sargeant.

- That task fell to a longtime business partner, Mustafa Abu Naba%u2019a. Mr. Sargeant said in an interview that he has known Mr. Abu Naba%u2019a for more than a decade and has worked with him on commercial ventures, including a contract with the Pentagon to supply fuel to the military in Iraq.

- It appears, however, that Mr. Sargeant, the finance chairman of the Florida Republican Party and the part-owner of a major oil trading firm, International Oil Trading Company, did not actually solicit the donations from the Abdullahs and their friends.

- Making matters murkier, some couples in the family who contributed more than $9,000 to Mr. McCain also gave the maximum in December to either Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton or Rudolph W. Giuliani, or both, totaling in the case of at least one family more than $18,000

- Amid a sea of contributions to the McCain campaign, the Abdullahs stand out. The checks come not from the usual exclusive coastal addresses, but from relatively hardscrabble inland towns like Downey and Colton. The donations are also startling because of their size: several donors initially wrote checks of $9,200, exceeding the $2,300 limit for an individual gift.

Son, the only thing I blame the Democrats for is for not impeaching Dumbya seven years ago. Pelosi and Reid are too weak-kneed for my taste. They remind me a lot of Lieberman. All three should call themselves republicons instead of Democrats. Say, why are you out celebrating with the other bushites today? Only 166 days left! Enjoy! - Reply to this comment

DAM BOY, you sure can rant! Your posts are generally the type that I don''t answer because you''re too filled with hate, fear and bigotry. Today, I''ll make an exception: First of all, speaker Pelosi (get the spelling?) is refusing to bring up an energy bill because the Republicans want to debate 26 different amendments they want to add. Secondly dumba$$, congress doesn''t raise the price of gasoline, speculators do. Thirdly, you ought to thank God for Pelosi, because if she had any backbone she would have impeached the shrub. Don''t even bother to reply to me, this was the first and lst time I''ll even acknowledge your pathetic existance! - Reply to this comment
- Campaign finance records show Mr. McCain collected a little more than $50,000 in March from members of a single extended family, the Abdullahs, in California and several of their friends.

- HOW MANY MORE HAMAS OR FOREIGNERS HAVE BEEN DONATING TO OBAMA???
The contributions also raise numerous questions about the Obama campaign''s lax online donation form, which apparently allows for the possibility of foreign contributions.
Last week, the Atlas Shrugs blog outlined a series of donations in 2007 made to Obama''s campaign from two individuals, Monir Edwan and Hosam Edwan, totaling $29,521.54.
In an online form on Obama''s campaign site, the Edwans listed their street as "Tal Esaltan," which they wrote was located in "Rafah, GA."
Rafah is not a city in Georgia. The Atlas blog immediately raised concerns that the money may have been donated from the Gaza Strip town of Rafah.
The Edwans'' donations are listed in both FEC filings and other election filing sites, such as CampaignMoney and donordata.org.
Monir made 20 donations ranging from $717 to $2017.50 from October through November 2007. His donations totaled $24321.41. Hosam made seven donations ranging from $508.63 to $1725.96, totaling $5,200.13, all in October 2007. - Reply to this comment
- "There are neighborhoods in Baghdad where you and I could walk through those neighborhoods today." Mccain prior to visiting a Baghdad market while being flanked by 22 soldiers, 10 armored Humvees, and two Apache attack helicopters
"Well, it''s common knowledge and has been reported in the media that Al Qaeda is going back into Iran and receiving training and are coming back into Iraq from Iran. That''s well known. And it''s unfortunate." Mccain before correcting himself by saying Iran was training "extremists," not Al Qaeda
"There''s no doubt in my mind that we will prevail and there''s no doubt in my mind, once these people are gone, that we will be welcomed as liberators." Mccain on the Iraq war, "Hardball" interview, March 24, 2003
"We''re going to prevail and we will win and it''ll be one of the best things that''s happened to America and the world in a long time ''cause it''ll reverberate throughout the Middle East." Mccain on the Iraq war, "Meet the Press" interview, March 3, 2003

- JERUSALEM %u2013 Palestinian brothers inside the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip are listed in government election filings as having donated $29,521.54 to Sen. Barack Obama''s campaign.
Donations of this nature would violate election laws, including prohibitions on receiving contributions from foreigners and guidelines against accepting more than $2,300 from one individual during a single election, Bob Biersack, a spokesman for the Federal Election Commission, told WND in response to a query.
The contributions also raise numerous questions about the Obama campaign''s lax online donation form, which apparently allows for the possibility of foreign contributions. - Reply to this comment
- All is good here. Except I do have one complaint. Where''''''''s all the bushites? No one to debate except a bunch of whinny toe tapping girly men. Dumbya''''''''s popularity poll came out today. It''''''''s down to it''''''''s all time low 25%. I guess all his supporters are out celebrating today. They must think that''''''''s good considering all the damage he''''''''s done to this country and the world in general. How bout you? You look like you are really in the thick of things. You must have stepped on a lot of toes today. Keep up the good work!

Nah, just being my normal congenial self, Had a little misunderstanding with Concord5 and rafterman; somehow they thought I was being racist. I think I straightened that out though; they both seem to be anti-McCain, so they''re OK by me. - Reply to this comment
- I have to respectively disagree with CBS. Mccain Ad have been working. This Race is a virtual Tie. Why doesnt CBS mention anything about Obama socialism, his racist church, radical associates and his Communist ties in the past.

- What do you suppose is different about McCain''''s answer. They both think they have a better agenda for improving the country and they both have big egos.
Our job is to not worry about the ego(let God and the job itself knock that down to size). Our job is to determine who actually is right about being able to move the country forward. All the rest is irrelevant(like Paris & Brittany).
