The Republican''s Culture of Corruption continues to permeate party activities. The Republicans claimed to have cleaned up their act in the 2006 midterm election. Yet compelling evidence has been presented recently a new 2006 vetted Republican Congressman has bought influence and apparently a seat in the House of Representatives through illegally coerced and reimbursed campaign contributions for many years including his own 2006 election.

Senator McCain is likewise caught accepting coerced contributions from non-supporters and foreign nationals collected by Senator McCain''s allegedly vetted and trained bundlers.

Then to make things even worse Senator McCain attends a $1+ million fund raiser hosted by an associate (identified in the Senator''s own committee hearings) of Jack Abramhoff, the poster boy in the Culture of Corruption scamdal, while the investigation of the scandal is still incomplete.

When combined with the Keating Five scandal where Senator McCain claims to have learned his lesson and a subsequent scandal in Senator McCain''s own PAC to reduce the influence of lobbyists that accepted UNLIMITED CONTRIBUTIONS FROM LOBBYISTS; is this not a pattern of corrupt politics where Senator McCain is either unable or unwilling to recognise and to avoid inappropriate activities completely undermining his "Campaign Reform Maverick" image?

I wondered for some time why McCain is suddenly so interested in nuclear energy. "MY FRIENDS", we have an answer. Harold Simmons, the guy who is a financiar for the Ayers ad will make "billions" by dumping those nuclear waste in West Texas. Who says old style political back-scratching is dead?

Howard Dean said another thing perfectly last week during his National Public Radio show: he called the Republicans the "White Party". I have news for him: The Republican Pary welcomes all races: Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Indians, Native Americans, etc. ... even Whites. A great many of my friends and extended family are non-white Republicans. So what are you, you people who comment? If you are for Obama, according to Mr. Dean, you must not be White lol

Isn''t Biden too old for you younsters and didn''t he have seriious health problems in the recent past, much more serious than McCain? Now you Obamas can tell ties about Biden not being too old and his major illness not being a factor. You reap what you sow

It''''s a real shame that Senator Obama thinks that all American are as stupid and blind as him and his family. He wants to make a big thing about Senator McCain''''s houses, but why doesn''''t Senator Obama tells America how he got special financing from his crooked land developer that he supposedly never did? What else is going to be discovered? So, instead of complaining about Senator McCain, he better take a honest look at his platform of change. So far it looks like his skeltons are finally coming out of the closet and we have just seen the beginning of major concerns. His actions are really not showing any change when he has been intentionally misleading the American people and lying about what he really stands for. I look forward to the Republican convention where alot of Senator Obama''''s skeletons are going to be hanging for all of America to see. VOTE FOR NADER 2008!

That''''s not all. Now McTraitor is claiming Obama is not a natural citizen when in fact that is not true. McCrazy on the other hand was born in Panama and is not eligible to even run for president.

McCain Lies, and when he isn''''t lying, he has nothing to say. Obama did not receive help from Tony Rezko to buy his house. The house and the lot next to it were listed separately. Obama paid market price for his house. Rezko''''s wife bought the lot next to them. Obama wanted a strip of land from the lot (one sixth) to expand his yard and paid exactly one sixth of the price Rezko''''s wife had bought it for. Rezko was not indited when Obama bought his house- he was indited a full year later. Rezko was convicted of fraud this year, but that had absolutely nothing to do with Obama or with the house. This has all been checked and rechecked throughout the summer. Get the facts right. McCain will go to all lengths and will lie to try to get to the White House. Fat chance.

I live in Portland OR and I have never seen a single McBush or Hillary bumper sticker or yard sign, not one. Obama signs everywhere. They claim this is a tight race? Ha! America, get ready for yet another stolen election. This time, we take the country back.

What mortgage crisis? For McBush the crisis is keeping up with how many homes he has, not how to pay for them.

LOL this shows further evidence this nut is an addlebrained old far.t who isn''t fit to be president, the jerk can''t REMEMBER how many freaking houses he owns???
How does that work?

Lets see, his rich wife who was born with a silver spoon up her azz just buys half million dollar houses like most people buy new shoes maybe? At the dinner table it sort of goes like;

Her: ''honey? I bought another million dollar cabin today, I liked the garden bench so I bought it, it came with the house but what the heck''

HIM: '' hmmmph, Im watching the game hon, tell me bout it later, ok beech? OHHH!!!! LOOK GEORGIE!!! A TOUCHDOWN!!!! HE MADE IT, WOW!!!!!''

Something mighty scary about a 70+ yr old far.t who cant remember something as basic as this becoming president, with his finger on the red button.
