  Ohio GOP Roots For Hillary

Ohio GOP Roots For Hillary
Ohio Working Class Skeptical Of ObamaThe Washington Post reports on Obama's
challenge in courting working class voters in Ohio:

In Lima and other fading manufacturing towns, he must confront difficult
questions that go to the heart of his candidacy and its appeal to a broad
section of Americans:

Can grandiose visions of hope and change resonate in places where
change -- in this case economic change -- has brought housing foreclosures
and economic ruin, where hope means avoiding another round of layoffs? Can a
candidate whose support has been based on African Americans and
upper-middle-class whites transcend class and race in places where racial
tension still colors everything?

GOP Root For Hillary Win (2/18): Republican leaders are banking on a Hillary
nominee to jolt their constituents into action:

Doug Kendall: Fearing the McCain Supreme Court

Doug Kendall, The Huffington Post, February 18, 2008

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/doug-kendall/fearing-the-mccain-suprem_b_87101.htm...

A close look at John McCain's Senate voting record on judicial
confirmations makes it painfully clear that progressives need to
ignore the rantings of the Ann Coulter crowd and believe John McCain
when he says he will listen to Sam Brownback and appoint judges like
Samuel Alito and Antonin Scalia. On judges, McCain's no moderate: if
given the chance, he will appoint justices that move an already
conservative Supreme Court sharply to the right.

Indeed, one looks in vain for a judge who is too ideologically
conservative for McCain: he voted to confirm Robert Bork, Clarence
Thomas and, unless I've missed something, every other Republican
judicial nominee voted on in his 22 years in the Senate.

Even more tellingly, as part of his negotiation in 2005 of what has
been dubbed the "Gang of 14 Deal" (more on this later), McCain pushed,
hard, for the confirmation of both William Pryor and Janice Rogers
Brown, the two hardest-edged conservatives appointed to the federal
bench by President George W. Bush.

  McCain Banked On Taxpayer-Funded Bailout

McCain Campaign Banked On Taxpayer-Funded Bailout
As The Washington Post reported on Saturday, John McCain's campaign struck a
canny deal with a bank in December. If his campaign tanked, public funds
would be there to bail him out. But if he emerged as the nominee, there'd be
no need for public financing, since the contributions would come flowing.

It's an arrangement that no one has ever tried before. And it appears that
McCain, who has built his reputation on campaign finance reform, was gaming
the system. Or as a campaign finance expert who preferred to remain
anonymous told me, referring to the prominent role that lobbyists have as
advisers to his campaign, "This places McCain's grandstanding on public
financing in a new light. True reformers believe public financing is a way
to replace the lobbyists' influence, not a slush fund that the lobbyists use
to pay off campaign debts."

What we know is that McCain found a way to use the public funds as an
insurance policy: If he did poorly, he would use public funds to pay off his
loans. If he did well, he would have the advantage of unlimited spending.
There's a reason no one's ever done anything like this. It makes a
travesty of the choice inherent in voluntary public financing, between
public funds and unlimited spending.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Pakistanis dealt a crushing defeat to President
Pervez Musharraf in parliamentary elections Monday, in what government
and opposition politicians said was a firm rejection of his policies
since 2001 and those of his close ally, the United States.

Almost all the leading figures in the Pakistan Muslim League-Q, the
party that has governed for the last five years under Mr. Musharraf,
lost their seats, including the leader of the party, Chaudhry Shujaat
Hussein, the former speaker of parliament, Chaudhry Amir Hussein, and
six ministers.

  Bush: "Ah'm dumb as a turd"

Bush: "I Don't Think" The War Has Anything To Do With The Economy
This morning on NBC's Today Show, President Bush denied that the there's any
link between the faltering U.S. economy and $10 billion a month being spent
on the Iraq war. In fact, according to Bush, the war is actually helping the
economy:

CURRY: You don't agree with that? It has nothing do with the economy, the
war -- spending on the war?

BUSH: I don't think so. I think actually the spending in the war might help
with jobs...because we're buying equipment, and people are working. I think
this economy is down because we built too many houses and the economy's
adjusting.

http://thinkprogress.org/2008/02/18/bush-iraq-economy/

He made this comment on the Today show? I was hoping he would get his just
rewards somewhere in the African continent, AIDS spittle in his face, or
maybe one of those fancy spears that have been killing people in Darfur.
Getting back to his comment, No the War has nothing to do with the enomomy?
Hey you jughead the war has all to do with the economy. Bus
--- not only
the worst pres, but the dumbest, nutless goof on Earth.
It's amazing that someone took the time to teach a head of lettuce to talk.

  Geert Wilders: I don't hate Muslims. I hate Islam         


Author: simple_language
Date: Feb 18, 2008 17:10

source: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/feb/17/netherlands.islam/print

A TV addict with bleached hair who adores Maggie Thatcher and prefers
kebabs to hamburgers, Geert Wilders has got nothing against Muslims.
He just hates Islam. Or so he says. 'Islam is not a religion, it's an
ideology,' says Wilders, a lanky Roman Catholic right-winger, 'the
ideology of a retarded culture.'

The Dutch politician, who sees himself as heir to a recent string of
assassinated or hounded mavericks who have turned Holland upside down,
has been doing a crash course in Koranic study. Likening the Islamic
sacred text to Hitler's Mein Kampf, he wants the 'fascist Koran'
outlawed in Holland, the constitution rewritten to make that possible,
all immigration from Muslim countries halted, Muslim immigrants paid
to leave and all Muslim 'criminals' stripped of Dutch citizenship and
deported 'back where they came from'. But he has nothing against
Muslims. 'I have a problem with Islamic tradition, culture, ideology.
Not with Muslim people.'
