Comments on: Unlikely Donors Give Big Money To McCain

Washington Post: Bundler Harry Sargeant III Has Collected Over $100K For McCain, Giuliani And Clinton

Obama is not simply raising taxes on the rich, he''s crippling their ability to generate jobs, make investments and produce wealth.

Obama can''t possibly finance his programs %u2014 particularly his health-insurance schemes %u2014 with the tax hikes he''s advocating. Obama can capitalize on the current hard times, but he can lose big time if the impact of his tax policies is explained.

Obama''s claims that Iran is a "tiny nation" that they pose no real threat to the United States. How about Obama''s opposition to the surge and refusal to vote to pay for the troops?

If soccer moms determined the outcome of the 1996 presidential race and security moms tipped the balance in 2004, it is beginning to look as if older moms are the key to the 2008 contest.
Obama has a problem among women over 40 and a big problem among women over 50. These groups, normally the staunchest of Democratic supporters, are showing a propensity to back McCain.

A new poll shows that half of Americans are sick of Obama. According to the poll:

Two-thirds of Republicans and about half of independents said they''''ve heard too much about Obama,

Exactly! lol!

"Harry Sargeant III, a former naval officer and the owner of an oil-trading company that recently inked defense contracts potentially worth more than $1 billion"

What other proof do you need that McCain is business as usual. Straight Talk my asss.

Nancy Pelosi is doing a lousy job. The Dems will be the biggest losers this November.

johnbush2,

By average American, do you mean the wife-beating drug dropping women fondling drunken slobs at the Sturgis Bike rally who McCain called the "real Americans"?

I guess that whole family values shtick ain''t working for you guys anymore.

And George Bush, Sr. was toasting Bin Laden''s brother at a Carlylr Group meeting when the twin towers were bombed. The difference is that Obama let the guy go when this was discovered.

The Bush & Bin Laden families are still in business together.

Ariel133,

July is when we Democrats go to the Hamptons & Europe on vacation. If they had taken the poll on Cape Cod it would''ve been different.

Seriously, Dude..the number of people calling themselves Republicans is going down much faster. Most Aermicans are middle of the road independents, which is why GOP hacks like you work so hard trying to portray Obama as an extremist.

[ariel133]

During July, the number of people who considered themselves to be Democrats fell two percentage points to the lowest level since January. And, it''s just a matter of time before more wake up the nonsense Democrats represent. Where is Pelosi? She doesn''t want to deal with the energy crisis? LOSER.

After initially helping to raise money for former New York mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, a Republican, and Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Sargeant, 50, has emerged as a major player in Florida fundraising for McCain.

More proof that Obama is threatening change.

[johnbush2-2009]

John McCain inspires confidence in the average American. It is not surprising that these people would like to contribute to his campaign.

John McCain is a natural born leader and the next President of this nation.

[micma-2009]

Some of the most prolific givers in Sargeant''s network live in modest homes in Southern California''s Inland Empire. Most had never given a political contribution before being contacted by Sargeant or his associates. Most said they have never voiced much interest in politics. And in several instances, they had never registered to vote. And yet, records show, some families have ponied up as much as $18,400 for various candidates between December and March.

Both Sargeant and the donors were vague when asked to explain how Sargeant persuaded them to give away so much money.

The man in charge of recruiting Muslims to support Barack Obama resigned from the campaign on Monday %u2014 just nine days after being appointed %u2014 when an Internet newsletter revealed the man was on the board of an Islamic investment fund on which a fundamentalist imam also sits.

THIS IS MORE RELEVANT NEWS.
