Until then they can keep quiet about “big business” and “big pharma” when they support “big abortion.”

No McCain doesn’t accept the lobbyist the way everyone else does…
he just cow tows to them with immigration and cheap labor…

hard to take the high ground when he’s just as dangerous as both of them combined..

Nonsense. First, one does get to claim some high ground for declining to play a corrupt little game, whatever one’s other views. Second, you say that McCain is “cow tow” (kowtow)-ing. Do you really believe that? I don’t. I think he sincerely believes in amnesty. Third, while I grant McCain’s considerable drawbacks as a Republican nominee, to call him “as dangerous” as Hillary “Hillarycare” Clinton and Barack “most liberal in the Senate” Obama is to fail to face up to reality. Do you imagine that Republicans can afford to sulk and insist on perfection? Do you imagine that if HillaryObama passes socialized medicine, we’ll be able to roll it back when we finally find our ideal conservative? Has any country ever succeeded in that? Do you imagine that the distinction between the judges who would be appointed by HillaryObama, and those who would be appointed by McCain, is meaningless to conservatives?

I really don’t understand this notion that conservative voters should refuse to see, and act on, the differences between socialists and whatever McCain is.

My wife had to call me at work to inform me that the today show is currently doing a fluff piece on how great Barack Obama is because he still does his own shopping. They have an expert and everything…
(*cough*)
That’s hard hitting journa…

I’d say that Obama and Hillary talk the talk, but only McCain walks the walk. I guess the New York Times missed this in their haste to tie McCain to lobbyist interventions.

OK Ed, good point. So, that puts another mark on the “Conservative” side of the list for John McCain. The “Liberal” tally is still heavily lopsided though.

Only way to regain public trust…

If not? Repubs are doomed in this election…

Buy one, get one free.

I wonder why some TV interviewer doesn’t ask them about these dealings ? Looks like both are getting a free ride on this.

Rhetorical, right?

Barak’s acceptance of monies from these people is not serving the needs of “special interests”. Far from it. “Special” implies they are unusual and that sets them out from the crowd. As everyone wants to see the Messiah elected, the interests cannot be considered special. Therefore, Barak only got money from “interests” and not “special interests”.

As for the tariff exemptions, it’s a canard! Earmarks are specialized pork projects. The exemptions are specialized pork exemptions to foreigners. See– not spending money, but refusing to collect it! It’s not pork. Second, it can’t be pork if it’s going to foreigners. We all know foreigners don’t eat pork, so it’s offensive to even call it pork! It’s just like eating while standing up– if you, you don’t get fat because the calories don’t count when you eat standing up. (Or eat with a diet soda.)

So come on, “Captain” Ed or “Allah”pun”dit”. You guys can do better than this. Now where’s my prayer rug? Time for my 5 minute devotion to Saint “Don’t Call Him Hussein” Obama.

Don’t let us down, boys.

I’m not aware if Senator Obama has been asked specifically about the cases of NuFarm and Astellas Pharma. He should be asked about them. Anything he did as a Senator is fair game. If the press won’t ask him, Hillary should. Better to face this foe now rather than later when IT WILL COME UP.

RUSSERT: Who will it be? Do you know his name?

CLINTON: Medvedev — whatever.

Nothing to see here. Move on.

What,what? A democrat did it?

Lowering taxes is lobbyist influenced and “will cost the treasury $800,000!”

It’s a little tough keeping up these days.

Kaboom!!
