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!
