Will Americans still love Israel after an attack on Iran, when gasoline reaches ten dollars a gallon? Will they love Israel when the draft is reinstituted and their children are called to serve. How about when our economy is decimated by a worthless dollar caused by another war we simply can not afford. I guess our Zionist friends don't think we have learned anything from history. Maybe they're right. But have they. When Zionists betrayed Germany in the first world war in exchange for the promise of a state in Palestine, did they do a great favor for the Jews of Europe?
“Obama ended up voting for the final [FISA] bill, as did Specter.”
That one sentence tells you all you need to know about where Obama and most Democrats stand on the issue of civil liberties and what political leaders are not willing to do to protect those liberties. Now, that should be enough to make you withdraw your support from Obama’s presidency — if, that is, you still have illusions about the Democrats in general, and Barak Obama in this round of Anybody-But-Bush/McCain.
“What?” says you, “And let McCain win the election?”
To that it must be said: What on earth is the difference when the Democratic presidential nominee, during the election campaign, votes in the same way as a right-wing Republican not just on any bill, but on a bill curtailing people’s civil liberties?
Here is a classic, textbook case of a man simply and purely hungry for power and willing to do anything to get to it; a man who is beholden to the same exact lobbies that control the Republicans, the Congress and the Executive branch and a man who does not shy away from taking away, in broad daylight, people’s rights and safety from arbitrary government search and seizure.
What more proof does anybody need to conclude that Obama is just as bad and harmful for the well being of the Americans (and others) as is McCain or Bush? Your vote for one or the other makes no difference. Voting for either is the same as throwing your voting ballot in the toilet. Political hacks that throw away people’s rights and their protections against arbitrary governance do not deserve to be elected at all.
Top Bush hands are starting to get sweaty about where they left their fingerprints.
So hot is the speculation that war-crimes trials will eventually follow in foreign or international courts that Lawrence Wilkerson, Colin Powell’s former chief of staff, has publicly advised Mr. Feith, Mr. Addington and Alberto Gonzales, among others, to “never travel outside the US, except perhaps to Saudi Arabia and Israel.”

Bush Administration Insider Caught Offering Access For Cash
by Craig Yates
Stephen Payne, a Bush administration appointee to the Department of Homeland Security has been caught on tape offering access to a Kazakhstan politician in exchange for a six-figure contribution to the Bush library, as reported today by the Times Of London. For the "donation" Payne said he would arrange meetings with Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice and other high-ranking administration officials. I believe the word for that is BRIBERY.
John McCain is running a fantastically dull campaign. His ideas have the grayed optimism of 1950s television commercials pegged to the fear factor of 1980s cold war hysterics. He’s a 20 th-century museum piece, as good a fit in the Senate’s gilded chumminess as it is an anachronism beyond it (which is just what makes Barack Obama such a lousy fit in the Senate). But McCain’s got this much going for him — a promise to make the Bush tax cuts permanent, to pile on gargantuan tax cuts and tax credits of his own, rebuild the military while it wages its usual quota of wars and still balance the budget by the end of his first term.
McCain wants to cut the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 25 percent (even though this decade saw record-breaking corporate profits year after year). Slash an additional $100 billion in Treasury revenue. He also wants to make it easier for corporations to deduct expenses. Cost: $75 billion. So far, that’s $665 billion in lost revenue per year, most of it benefiting corporations and the richest 5 percent to 10 percent of Americans.
"Over grown military establishments are under any form of government inauspicious to liberty, and are to be regarded as particularly hostile to republican liberty."

Tony Snow died of cancer. Conservatives want the flag flown at half mast, or perhaps invade a Middle Eastern country in his name.
A 19th century president for a 21st century world power?
McCain "learning" to use the internet. Now, at 50 I may be an old coot who doesn't even have a cell phone (I refuse to be "on call" 24/7 for the rest of the world), but I bought my first computer and taught myself programing back in the 70s. My mother has been on the internet since the 90s. If McCain is just now "catching up," how fast do you think he can comprehend the realities and needs of techological society?
