You may have heard that Senator Obama is, in addition to being a Muslim Baby-eater that Hates Amerika, taking money from Da Mob, specifically Tony Rezko. Thanks to the Chicago Sun Times it looks like those claims (also found originally in the CST) are somewhat questionable. Here are eight things you need to know about thier relationship.

You may have heard that Senator Obama is, in addition to being a Muslim Baby-eater that Hates Amerika, taking money from Da Mob, specifically Tony Rezko. Thanks to the Chicago Sun Times it looks like those claims (also found originally in the CST) are somewhat questionable. Here are eight things you need to know about thier relationship.

From the Boston Globe:

Republican voters have cast an awful lot of ballots lately for Senator Hillary Clinton: About 100,000 GOP loyalists voted for her in Ohio, 119,000 in Texas, and about 38,000 in Mississippi, exit polls show.

"It's as simple as, I don't think McCain can beat Obama if Obama is the Democratic choice," said Kyle Britt, 49, a Republican-leaning independent from Huntsville, Texas, who voted for Clinton in the March 4 primary. "I do believe Hillary can mobilize enough [anti-Clinton] people to keep her out of office." Britt, who works in financial services, said he is certain he will vote for McCain in November.

Walter Wilkerson, who has chaired the Republican Party in Montgomery County, Texas, since 1964, said many local conservatives chose to vote for Clinton for strategic reasons.

"These people felt that Clinton would be maybe the easier opponent in the fall," he said. "That remains to be seen."

Wilkerson added, "We have not experienced any crossover of this magnitude since I can remember."

So much for the party that touts its ability to spread democracy and freedom across the globe. This is anything but democratic, and these false-Americans should be ashamed of themselves. It's not enough to wipe out nearly 90,000 civilian lives and coming up on 4000 American soldiers in their unnecessary war, but now they have to subvert the democratic process that is meant to make our country something special...something different.

This "great experiment" is an utter failure thanks to these extremists and their handlers.

This, according to Politico:

The Democratic-leaning advocacy firm the Glover Park Group, former home to Clinton campaign spokesman Howard Wolfson, signed a $40,000 per month contract with the government of Colombia in April of 2007 to promote the very agreement that Clinton now rails against on the presidential campaign trail.
...
Several other Glover Park employees have deep connections with the Clintons, including founding partner Joe Lockhart, who served as the White House press secretary under President Bill Clinton, and Joel Johnson, who was a senior communications adviser in the Clinton White House.

Six employees of Glover Park Group contributed a total of nearly $20,000 to Clinton’s campaign in 2007, according to data kept by the Center for Responsive Politics.

Wolfson, who is set to take over many responsibilities from the departing Penn, resigned from Glover Park last year to avoid conflicts of interest but retains an equity interest in the firm.
...
According to the Glover Park Group contract, which was disclosed to the U.S. Department of Justice last year, the firm was to work with ProExport Colombia, an entity of the Colombian Government Trade Bureau, in developing a strategy to promote the free trade agreement.

The contract called for Glover Park to identify the key concerns of members of Congress, develop a comprehensive government relations strategy, and pinpoint reporters, academics, and business leaders who could help make Colombia’s pro-free trade argument, all in close coordination with Colombian government officials.

This is some fine investigative-reporting.

According to recent reports millions are wasted on government credit cards.

Federal employees charged millions of dollars for Internet dating, tailor-made suits, lingerie, lavish dinners and other questionable expenses to their government credit cards over a 15-month period, congressional auditors say.

If I charge too much for anything it gets flagged and my supervisor has to approve it. And believe you me I better not step out of line or it's my job. Apparently if you work for the government it just ain't the same. Seems like there needs to be improved checks and balances on the fed's blank checks and credit balances. I mean some stuff I can understand.

Justice Department and FBI employees charged $11,000 at a Ritz Carlton hotel for coffee and "light" refreshments for 50 to 70 attendees for four days, averaging about $50 per person.

Have you ever ordered room service or had a hotel cater? It ain't ever cheap. But my two favorite quotes from this article follow.

At the State Department, one credit-card holder bought $360 worth of women's lingerie at Seduccion Boutique for use during jungle training by trainees of a drug enforcement program in Ecuador.

What sort of training was that exactly? And then there's this:

In the Internet dating case, a postmaster charged $1,100 over 15 months for two online services, including the Ashley Madison Agency. The expenses went unnoticed for more than a year even though he was under internal investigation for viewing pornography on a government computer. The postmaster was eventually told to repay the Internet charges but faced no disciplinary action.

Surfing porn and charging the company card for "online dating" would be disastrous for most careers, but not this guy.

"Too many government employees have viewed purchase cards as their personal line of credit," said Sen. Norm Coleman, R-Minn., the top Republican on the Senate Homeland Security subcommittee on investigations, which requested the GAO report. "When money that was intended to pay for critical infrastructure, education and homeland security is instead being spent on iPods, lingerie and socializing, we must immediately remedy the problem."

Gee ya think? Of course I doubt it will be too immediate. Consider that all these gents are experts at finding ways to hide expenditures so that they can line the pockets of PACs and contributors and you'll understand why I'm a little suspicious.

In a spectacular example of coincidence, it turns out a little bit of corruption may have played into the latest Jeremiah Wright debacle.

Some investigative geniuses started looking into the different press events that Wright attended this past weekend, and it looks like the National Press Club event could have been a Clinton-instigated issue. You put a wild badger in a room with a few pigeons, three D-cell batteries and a sack of oranges, you're going to get a battle of epic proportions. Two trains on the same track. Planets lining up....stuff like that.

This reeks of the same stuff Hillary was doing when she was running with the devil, Richard Mellon Scaife. I hope this isn't an underhanded campaign trick to try and smother Obama in the crib before the general election.

From RawStory and The NY Daily News:

"Shortly before he rose to deliver his rambling, angry, sarcastic remarks at the National Press Club Monday, [Rev. Jeremiah] Wright sat next to, and chatted with, Barbara Reynolds," The New York Daily News' Errol Lewis begins Tuesday.

"A former editorial board member at USA Today, she runs something called Reynolds News Services and teaches ministry at the Howard University School of Divinity," he adds. "It also turns out that Reynolds - introduced Monday as a member of the National Press Club "who organized" the event - is an enthusiastic Hillary Clinton supporter.

More:

On a blog linked to her Web site- www.reynoldsnews.com- Reynolds said in a February post: "My vote for Hillary in the Maryland primary was my way of saying thank you" to Clinton and her husband for the successes of Bill Clinton's presidency.

The same post criticized Obama's "Audacity of Hope" theme: "Hope by definition is not based on facts," wrote Reynolds. It is an emotional expectation. Things hoped for may or may not come. But help based on experience trumps hope every time."

In another blog entry, Reynolds gives an ever-sharper critique of Obama: "It is a sad testimony that to protect his credentials as a unifier above the fray, the senator is fueling the media characterization that Rev. Dr. Wright is some retiring old uncle in the church basement."

I don't know if Reynolds' eagerness to help Wright stage a disastrous news conference with the national media was a way of trying to help Clinton - my queries to Reynolds by phone and e-mail weren't returned yesterday - but it's safe to say she didn't see any conflict between promoting Wright and supporting Clinton.

Even if it wasn't deliberate, the implication of underhandedness is there...and it is absolutely despicable.

It can apparently buy 94 Democrats in the House.

From MAPLight.org:

Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint gave PAC contributions averaging:

$8,359 to each Democrat who changed their position to support immunity for Telcos (94 Dems)
$4,987 to each Democrat who remained opposed to immunity for Telcos (116 Dems)

88 percent of the Dems who changed to supporting immunity (83 Dems of the 94) received PAC contributions from Verizon, AT&T, or Sprint during the last three years (Jan. 2005-Mar. 2008). See below for list of these 94 Dems.
...
"Campaign contributions bias our legislative system,” said Daniel Newman, Executive Director of MAPLight.org. “Simply put, candidates who take positions contrary to industry interests are unlikely to receive industry funds and thus have fewer resources for their election campaigns than those whose votes favor industry interests."

This is absolutely sickening news. Selling out your constituents is one thing. Selling out your freedom is blatantly criminal. I hope this gets picked up in the mainstream.
