DaveNRCC Money Scandal
Winning the Perfect Timing Award of 2008, the National Republican Congressional Committee has its own scandal:
The former treasurer for the National Republican Congressional Committee diverted hundreds of thousands of dollars -- and possibly as much as $1 million -- of the organization's funds into his personal accounts, GOP officials said yesterday, describing an alleged scheme that could become one of the largest political frauds in recent history.
For at least four years, Christopher J. Ward, who is under investigation by the FBI, allegedly used wire transfers to funnel money out of NRCC coffers and into other political committee accounts he controlled as treasurer, NRCC leaders and lawyers said in their first public statement since they turned the matter over to the FBI six weeks ago.
That's. Just. Perfect. The Republican Senatorial committee just allowed Mark Pryor of Arkansas to run unopposed (no thanks to Mike Huckabee, who passed). The Presidential nomination was won by John McCain who heretofore was despised by the rank and file givers of the Republican party. And now the congressional committee, as it turns out, has been diverting funds to the personal bank accounts of one bad apple.
All of which one would think would add up to a very bad fundraising year for the Republicans. Oh but that's not it, on the other side of the aisle, the Democrats have been raising record amounts, and if the nominee is to be Obama, they have an opponent who has a proven ability to raise tens of millions every single month.
Danger, Danger, Will Robinson. And it's not just the NRCC with this guy, he was also the treasurer for 83 GOP committees, all of which are under a cloud now.

Thanks for the info, Dave. Interesting we are not hearing much about this from the networks, or cable news, or the newspaper - about the NRCC scandal, I mean.
Thanks for your honesty in being a "bi-partisan" reporter - usually.

The Obama campaign lied about the NAFTA meeting until they got caught! Rezko’s trial is underway. Obama's name is likely to surface during the trial. He told the media he paid market value for his home, another lie. This came from his crooked friend Rezko. A million dollar home for three-hundred-thousand. If you don't think this won't be part of what the Republican's throw at Obama you have your head in the Iraqi sand, since Rezko deals with Arabs, also. Where did Obama get his 55 million dollars in fund raising last month? Has anybody wondered? The Middle East, maybe? Obama goes back two decades with Rezko. There is ample evidence that Rezno did favors for Obama. His biggest beneficiary appears to have been Obama. Obama conceded it was a mistake to bring Rezko into his personal real estate dealings, he denounces and now rejects Louis Farrakhan, he's sorry for this and that, including his Exelon deals. NOW, he says he disagrees with Rev. Wright. Why didn't he do this years ago? YOU DON'T CHOOSE YOUR FAMILY, BUT YOU DO CHOOSE YOUR PASTOR! NO MORE FREE PASSES FOR OBAMA! If he's awakened at 3:00 a.m., is he going to say, I'm sorry for not acting in the country's best interest? If Hillary doesn't win, McCain will. Soon you will find out just how much hidden baggage Obama comes with. Wake up America before its too late. Hillary is the better candidate.

I have come to hate
the hatred coming from
the cons
and now I feel it
coming from our own
I could live with it
If it were true
But just like the cons
they talk about lies
Bush was white
Did that make him great?
Bush was experienced
Did that make him great
Bush has the name
of George Washington
Did that make him great?
Obama is white
according to the same standard
on top of it
science (not pokiticians)
tells us that the color of skin
comes from the actions of enzymes
and if these are difficient
Light colored skin, blue eyea, blonde hair
is the result
and in severe cases
Mental retardation
Ironic, we thought we were
superior to the "colored"
Obama's preacher wants to go after
the rich
McCain's preacher wants to go after
the islamists
Both of them want to wage war
Well, the trade agreements
sent our factories to China
And now we have become what they call
a service industry
A.k.a., a nation of slaves
We send our money to China
money we borrowed from them
So who is going to buy
all those million dollar homes?
Those who we sent
the remainer of our money
the Muslims
You see
we had recessions before
but we owned our country
we no longer own our country
we are owned by China
and Saudi Arabia
And all they have to do
is wait
till the market goes down
and down
and down
Then they buy everything
and own everything
All this happened
because somehow
free trade meant we could
send our factories to Mexico and China
Huh?
So the rich got greedy
and their greed will do them in
but to poor in our country
have nothing to lose
Oh, the Clinton's
with ties to Monsanto
who owns patent rights to their seeds
160,000 India farmers committed suicide
after Monsanto sold them their seed
You see, the pollen drifts across the fields
driven by the winds
and it all belongs to Monsanto
and ultimately everything
will belong to Monsanto
It isn't America
or Americans
That are hated
It is American capitalism
dressed as if it were "democracy"
Do you wonder why?

Rev Wrights comments are great news for the mid-american flag toting bigots! They have been waiting and salivating on the side lines for the opportunity to say, see I told you you can't trust those people.
Truth be told many Americans at the time felt that our government had brought 911 on our people. Black & White ministers were saying this all across America.
Its ironic that Rev. Wright's comments are met with such hate and indignation while we are currently engaged in a war in Iraq based on greed and hate.
I wonder what kind of retaliation this war will bring
upon our people.
I ask, which is uglier, the fact that Rev.Wright stated the truth or because it is true.
By the way I am sure Hilary has never had to deal with been called a nigger. And the rich do own America....they just happen to be white.
How dare anyone speak against America especially a black man! America get over your hateful selves. The truth hurts, but we can only grow if we are willing to hear it.
