The man picked by the John McCain campaign to run the 2008 Republican
National Convention resigned Saturday after a report that his lobbying
firm used to represent the military regime in Myanmar.

Doug Goodyear resigned as convention coordinator and issued a two
sentence statement:

"Today I offered the convention my resignation so as not to become a
distraction in this campaign. I continue to strongly support John
McCain for president, and wish him the best of luck in this campaign."

Goodyear, chief executive of lobbying firm DCI Group, resigned a few
hours after Newsweek posted a story posted online that the company was
paid $348,000 in 2002 and 2003 to represent Myanmar's junta.

Where did the Web rumors about Obama come from?

WASHINGTON — Some things about Barack Obama rub some voters the wrong
way.

"We don't need a Muslim," said Jannay Smith, a retiree from Kokomo,
Ind. "Who's to say if he gets in there what he'll do?"

Added Steve Shallenberger, a Kokomo electrician: "He's just calling
himself a Christian because he knows that's what we in Indiana want to
hear."

Federal marriage-for-citizenship sting nets 83 Fla. arrests

Federal sting nets 83 Florida arrests in suspected
marriage-for-citizenship scam

A federal sting of four companies accused of arranging fraudulent
marriages for U.S. citizenships, complete with wedding photos of
brides in gowns and elaborate fake cakes, has netted more than 80
arrests, authorities said Friday.

Immigrants, Americans and company officials were among the 83
arrested. The immigrants paid as much as $10,000, while the U.S.
citizens were offered up to $2,500, U.S. Attorney Robert O'Neill said.

The couples were coached on how to pass immigration checks with fake
answers, even though in some cases they didn't speak the same language
as their purported spouse, officials said. U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services officials who review each citizenship-conferring
marriage to ensure legitimacy tipped off federal agents in many cases.

Flip-flopping to obscurity
McCain was for abortion before he was against it

ABC is reporting today that John McCain is considering changing his
position on abortion to embrace the party language that bans all
abortions, including in cases of rape and incest.

It’s pretty hard to imagine a flip-flop that is more blatant than
that, but with John McCain, it’s not really a surprise. This is, after
all, a man who kissed up to his mortal enemy, Putsch, and who bleakly
sold out on his general stand against the vitriolic maniacs at the
fringes of religious nuttery, such as “Christocrat” Pastor Rod
Parsley, or the Rev. John Hagee.

It would destroy the GOP if McCain takes that final, unmistakable
step, since it will send a clear message to millions of moderate
conservatives and formerly mainstream Republicans that the party is
still firmly in the control of right wing maniacs.

Klamath River Tribes and Fishermen Disrupt
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Meeting
By Dan Bacher
t r u t h o u t | Perspective

Saturday 10 May 2008

Klamath River Basin tribal leaders, Native American activists,
commercial fishermen, recreational anglers and conservationists
returned home to California and Oregon after disrupting Warren
Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders meeting in Omaha,
Nebraska, last weekend.

Karuk World Renewal Priest (Fatawana) Chook-Chook Hillman, Klamath
Riverkeeper Regina Chichizola and Mike Polmateer of the Karuk Tribe
were able to ask sharply pointed questions directly to Buffett about
why he refuses to agree to sign a dam removal agreement. Each time
Buffett passed off the question to Mid American CEO David Sokol,
tribal members unfurled a big banner. Each time, security guards
removed the banners and evicted those holding them from the meeting -
and told them not to come back under threat of arrest.

The democrat party "War on The Economy", continues.

300 million American casualties and counting.

Hmm. Can't think of (any) democrat candidates, who spent even one day
in the "Hanoi Hilton", mistreated by NVA scum.

A couple democrats, though -- were posing for photographs ... on top
of North Vietnam ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS.

Yes. That's rather, an important difference...

Just saying...

Over 800,000 babies are aborted, each year in America.

For some perspective, that's over 4 MILLION babies aborted, during the
very same time ... 4 thousand US troops have become every American
"liberal" cause de celebe, since 2003.

That's a ratio of ONE THOUSAND ABORTED AMERICAN BABIES for every
single, US casualty in Iraq.

Every one.

So whenever your usual leftwing trolls post "1" or "2" brave US
soldiers, who have volunteered to fight for our freedom, killed by
scum some day -- think of them.

Remember their bravery, and their patriotism.

But then, AFTER you've thought about what their service means (really
think about that for a few moments) ... then multiply that number.

By 1,000.

That's the number of American babies, liberals killed ... that very
same day.
