Special Interest Relationship Complicated ;-)

clipper's remarks: Millions taken by Obama already; spksmn. says his views are evolving. Only in buried stories is there any mention of this hypocrisy.

Obama did it again. He said he hadn’t taken money from lobbyists.

“lobbyist” seems to have a particular meaning in Obama’s campaign vocabulary. His stump speeches imply that he is not taking money from people who want things

Contributions made by the various industry sectors tell the real story

Obama is picking up gobs of money put on the table by these special interests—including

in health care, which will surely have a lot riding on the outcome of the election and will expect to be heard after the election is over.

Clinton and Obama have raised similar amounts from lawyers and law firms—$11.8 and $9.5 million

McCain and Huckabee have taken far less.

health product industries

$338,000 to Obama.

That truth revealed that as a state legislator in Illinois, a U.S. senator, and as a presidential aspirant, Obama had collected hundreds of thousands of dollars from lobbyists and PACs.

Obama campaign spokeswoman

“his leadership position on this issue is an evolving process.”

Looks like McCain is tired of the wall-to-wall anti-Palin rhetoric of CNN:

According to CNN, Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) pulled out of a scheduled interview with the network after a segment with Campbell Brown and a top McCain spokesman Monday night in which Brown asked for examples of a foreign-policy decision made by Republican vice president pick Sarah Palin.

McCain was scheduled to appear on Larry King Live, but CNN's Wolf Blitzer said Tuesday that the campaign told the news network they thought Brown's interview with spokesman Tucker Bounds was "over the line."

CNN said it disagreed and it is committed to covering both sides of issues.

Yep, Obama's side and Biden's side.

In other news, CNN has officially decided to change their logo:

Liberal Information Policy

Unsurprisingly, the absurd smear that Sarah Palin's fifth child was actually borne by her daughter has been debunked. But as a DUmmie had the rare honesty to admit, that makes no difference (please excuse the moonbat language):

It doesn't matter if it's true or not. RUMOR IS TRUTH.

The modern laws of media hype and political warfare have a useful tenet:

Repeat ANYTHING or raise false concern over ANYTHING and it is likely to be planted in the conscious/subconscious of many voters.

If people start to think that there might be something fishy with Palin's last kid (if hers), then that's FINE. One more doubt (whether tied to reality or not) is another hesitation at the ballot box.

The quote above comes via Ace of Spades HQ, as the original has apparently been removed. Could it be the DU and Alan Colmes are belatedly developing a sense of shame? More likely, they're beginning to realize how despicable their views are to normal people.

Small-town residents boo media with McCain

CEDARBURG, Wisc. -- Hundreds of angry people in this small town outside Milwaukee taunted reporters and TV crews traveling with Sen. John McCain on Friday, chanting "Be fair!" and pointing fingers at a pack of journalists as they booed loudly.

the 30 or so reporters and crew were walking back to their buses to join the McCain motorcade when hundreds of townspeople started yelling.

"Stop lying! You are all liars! Tell the truth!"

The crowd was not menacing or threatening, but was clearly angry.

"I think the press is very liberal and very slanted against the McCain-Palin ticket. Would you ask a man if his kids were being taken care of while he's out campaigning?"

"The media has called her a sexy librarian look. Would you say that Obama is a sexy Will Smith look?

However, a press release issued on behalf of Martinez states that he didn’t actually purchase the painting. So the truth is shrouded in mystery, and it can only be rumored to have sold for a record-breaking $140 million.

clipper's remarks: Is he lying or confused?

McCain claimed that Obama’s health care plan would "force small businesses to cut jobs" and would put "a bureaucrat ... between you and your doctor." In fact, the plan exempts small businesses, and those who have insurance now could keep the coverage they have.

McCain attacked Obama for voting for "corporate welfare" for oil companies. In fact, the bill Obama voted for raised taxes on oil companies by $300 million over 11 years while providing $5.8 billion in subsidies for renewable energy, energy efficiency and alternative fuels.

said oil imports send "$700 billion a year to countries that don't like us very much." But the U.S. is on track to import a total of only $536 billion worth of oil

a third of that comes from Canada, Mexico and the United Kingdom.

promised to increase use of "wind, tide [and] solar"

his actual energy plan contains no new money for renewable energy

called for "reducing government spending and getting rid of failed programs," but

failed to cite a single program

Wednesday night on "The Daily Show," Jon Stewart hit Karl Rove and Bill O'Reilly with damning evidence of their hypocrisy regarding Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin.

While Rove recently praised Palin's experience as the mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, Stewart showed video of Rove trashing Virginia Governor — and former Richmond Mayor — Tim Kaine's executive experience, listing all the cities that are bigger than Richmond and calling such a pick "political."

Then, after recent video of O'Reilly describing Bristol Palin's pregnancy as a family issue, Stewart showed a clip of the Fox News host blaming Jamie Lynn Spears' parents for her teenage pregnancy.

Finally, after showing video of Dick Morris complaining about the rampant sexism in the media coverage of Sarah Palin, Stewart unveiled a clip of Morris saying that Hillary hides behind the sexism defense, and that anytime "the big boys" pick on Hillary, "she retreats behind the apron strings."

Universal Prayer for Wealth and Prosperity

November 7th 2007 08:46

O Goddess of Wealth and Prosperity,
With your blessings there is an abundance of Wealth and prosperity
There is enough to feed each soul, cover each body, and heal all diseases
With your blessings O Goddess, each child is educated, each child is smiling
There is so much wealth in the world that no one resorts to crime and terrorism
As a human we all know how to utilize the wealth for mankind and free from all vices.
With an abundance of wealth, there is peace and harmony, there is collaboration and teamwork.

O Goddess, this is not a dream but truth and I am seeing this happening right in front of my eyes.

Christian, Remember This Is What It Is All About

clipper's remarks: Where are the Christians on free speech? Journalists are being raided at the Republican National Convention and they continue to support the party that encourages such behavior. Don't they see the connection? Are they going to wait until they are personally affronted? It will be far to late if it isn't too late already. What they need to do is start speaking out, buy a video camera to record incidents like this, and let others know. The Republican Neocons are monitoring your response and when they see you pull the covers over your head, they will attack us all.

Newsweek Mar 2007 reported that 80% of Americans claim to be Christian. If this is so, where is the light, where is truth, where is hope in any degree compared to what your Lord brought? If you said you follow the god of darkness I would believe you.

During the spring of 2006, graduating senior Brittany McComb was chosen to give the valedictory speech at Foothill High School in Henderson, Nev., by virtue of achieving the highest GPA in the school. After composing her remarks, she submitted them to school administrators according to standard district policy. School administrators, with the advice of their district legal counsel, censored her speech, deleting all three Bible references, several references to "the Lord" and the only mention of the word "Christ."

It is my belief that the majority of misleading is being done by the republicans.

don't get me wrong, I don't believe republicans are misleading but their attack dogs

I also think that too many republicans are believing the BS that their politicians are saying...this is sad.

clipper's remarks: (cont.)Unfortunately, Adolf Hitler understood the power of speech, the power of propaganda and the power of the “big lie.” Physical power was paramount since he believed, “is not right that matters, but victory.” However, physical strength is not sufficient to consummate the revolution. It must be escorted, heralded by its honor guard: the power of speech. How did Hitler know this? Why did it ultimately fail?

The Battle of Words

By Rabbi Pinchas Kantrowitz 31 July 2008

Those who study the background to the rise of Nazism and the Holocaust may be aware how much of an emphasis Adolph Hitler (yimach shmo v’zicro–may his name and memory be erased), put on speech. In his inciting, yet seminal work, Mein Kampf, he writes:

“The broad masses of the people can be moved only by the power of speech.
All great movements are… volcanic eruptions of human passions and emotional sentiments, stirred …by the firebrand of the word hurled among the masses.” (Mein Kampf, Ch. 3)

He writes elsewhere in the book, “the great masses of the people…will more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a small one.” (Ibid, Ch. 10). Additionally, W. L. Shirer, in his book, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, writes: “the victor will not be asked afterwards whether he told the truth or not. In starting and waging a war it is not right that matters, but victory.” (Ch. 16)
