Actually wasn't there talk a while back of making it a criminal act to damage the flag, wonder what became of that? Realised how utterly wanked it was I expect. | ||

| The GOP is still hammering on the Ayers alleged link. The problem is, I don't think it'll stick. There are too many problems in the US right now. This is the old 60s, 'Nam protest era. Erm....it was 40 years ago. And honestly, who has killed more innocent civilians and done more damage? The Pentagon or Bill Ayers?

| The Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s. The five senators, Alan Cranston (D-CA), Dennis DeConcini (D-AZ), John Glenn (D-OH), John McCain (R-AZ), and Donald W. Riegle (D-MI), were accused of improperly intervening in 1987 on behalf of Charles H. Keating, Jr., chairman of the Lincoln Savings and Loan Association, which was the target of a regulatory investigation by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board (FHLBB).The FHLBB subsequently backed off taking action against Lincoln. Lincoln Savings and Loan collapsed in 1989, at a cost of $2 billion to the federal government. Some 23,000 Lincoln bondholders were defrauded and many elderly investors lost their life savings. The substantial political contributions that Keating had made to each of the senators, totalling $1.3 million, attracted considerable public and media attention. |

| ^Yep, like the nice help to students from Mao, Lenin, Hitler, Khomeini... I abhor these personal attack ads, but if McC is going to do it, he should have stuck to Wright, Rezko and the Chicago goons. |

McCain didn't pressure the regulators like the three Democrats. Three of the democrats didn't seek re-election. The word was they needed a Republican in the net so it wouldn't solely be a Democrat scandal. Begbie's post proves the effectiveness of the 'include a Republican' strategy: "accused of corruption"

| ^Doesn't matter, according to the same criteria that's being used to slur and impeach Obama's character all that matters is that McCain knew the guy (well enough to take money from him too, apparently). You can't have it both ways. |

| Thailand Travel Forum | Well, Let's Get This Fucking Straight: Bill Ayers is Not a "Former Radical" He is a current radical. |

| Thailand Travel Forum | If He Didn’t Know… Let’s suspend disbelief for the moment and assume that Barack Obama didn’t actually know of Bill Ayers’s history as an unrepentant domestic terrorist in 1995 when Ayers and Obama joined forces in the Chicago Annenberg Challenge to funnel funds to Ayers’s radical education ideas and when Ayers and his wife (and fellow unrepentant domestic terrorist) Bernardine Dohrn hosted the political coming-out party for Obama. Well, then: When did Obama learn the news? And what steps did he then take to condemn Ayers’s terrorism and to disassociate himself from Ayers?

| Hello!!! Nobody is listening. Even the GOP pundits have conceded McCain has to put together a coherent economic strategy and cannot win by using the same failed tactics that Hillary used in her losing effort. The negative run down the opponent strategy is only turning off undecided voters no matter which side does it.

| Thailand Travel Forum | ^Well, Today's News From the Front VOTER-FRAUD CHAOS DEMS' 'NOVEMBER SURPRISE'? ... Ken Blaxkwell knows Ohio fraud ... “ A perfect example is Ohio. Last Monday the Ohio Supreme Court, in a 4-3 decision, interpreted Ohio law to allow for people to register to vote and cast an absentee ballot on the same day. (As the three dissenters noted, this directly contradicts Ohio's Constitution, which requires that a person register to vote 30 days in advance of actually casting that vote. But the Ohio Supreme Court is the last word on Ohio state law.) So now the Obama campaign is using buses to take tens of thousands of people to go register and cast same-day votes. Some media reports say that the Obama camp hopes to get hundreds of thousands of votes this way |

| Thailand Travel Forum | Barack Obama’s claims that he had no idea about William Ayers’ violent, radical history are simply false: Was Obama Ignorant About Bill Ayers? Of Course Not. Videos: The Ayers connection; Update: Obama doesn’t read newspapers? William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn were very open, even boastful about their past. How many times does Barack Obama think he can get away with his “see no evil” act? |
