Biden's Son a Partner in D.C. Lobbying Firm

What do you expect from someone who is a pure Washington insider, i.e. entrenched in Washington politics for 35 years?

But, hey, that's change we can believe in!

SO WHAT??? Don't you Republicans have anything positive to say about your own nominee? Your unrelenting negativity is becoming a real drag. Obama offers a positive vision of the future, but all you Republicans have to offer is the same old Karl Rove fear and smear sewer. This is going to backfire because there is only so much negative energy that people can stomach and negative energy is the ONLY kind of energy the McCain campaign is spewing forth.

Obama is the negative one, sorry. I am a lifelong Dem. and am sick of Obama's manipulating voters' rights, fraud, and downright meaness. ALl I see is McCain acting honorably as a whole. You whanty, whiney, thin skinned Obamabots have got to get a grip.
I just saw utubes' videos of voter fraud by overly agressive Obamabots - downright cheating and intimidating voters. It's all gonna come out. Obama - you have no integrety-no core- you are henpecked by a frenzied hateful wife - as well as pandering to an electorate just to get elected. WE SEE RIGHT THROUGH you.

This is just too much. Biden's son is the one that got Larry Sinclair arrested and tried to get him put away for life on trumped up charges. It didn't work - but - well... that really looks bad. Biden's son puts away Obama's alledged gay lover drug buddy... and suddenly Biden is his running mate. What was the DNC thinking? Pelosi, Dean et al are suicidal. I can see where Pelosi wants Dems to lose to save her job ... but come on --- we Americans are not morons or sheep.

Washington insiders, lobbyist, speculators, VETERANS and republicans were the bad guys when I returned from viet-nam...there were riots, anti-war protest of all kinds, and they were mostly our young whose liberal views made the U.S. look weak, and out of control....what I see now is a return of liberalism....cowards who carry a big stick with no back-bone who scream anti-american rhetoric....OBAAMA AND THE LIBERAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS MAKING THIS POSSIBLE

OBAMA AND THE SO CALLED POOR BACKGROUND POLITICIANS MAKE THE BEST CON ARTIST IN OUR SOCIETY.

an this is a story how????...weak, as usual

I personally really like McCain but I have a real problem about his killing all those people and then lying about it. He said he was sorry and I believe him but he still appears to carry the guilt with him and I don't think we can trust a murderer having the nuclear button. His wife forgives him about all those affairs I hear but who knows how many illegals he really had affairs with down in Arizona. Rumor has it he has a thing for Mexicans in tight shorts. They tell lies about him but Obama is the only honest one.
We must admit all the Republicans are liars and the ones on this board are the worst. The ones that lie and say bad things about Obama are just jealous.

20 Years Later: Another McCain At Center Of A Bank Collapse and Government Take-Over? By Mark Nickolas

Almost exactly 20 years ago -- in the middle of the saving and loan crisis -- federal regulators seized Lincoln Savings and Loan Association of Irvine, California. The takeover took place more than a year after five United States senators had tried to hold-off a government investigation by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board into Lincoln's risky loan practices regarding home loans.Those five senators included Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and the chairman of Lincoln was Charles Keating -- who was not only a top McCain donor but was Cindy McCain's business partner in a real estate deal in Arizona (as I detailed earlier this year). This scandal -- known as The Keating 5 -- remains an albatross for McCain's political career.

As a result of Lincoln's collapse, American taxpayers lost more than $2 billion on the bailout and more than 21,000 mostly elderly investors lost their life savings as a result of bankruptcy of Lincoln's parent company.

In 1991, the Senate Ethics Committee rebuked McCain, finding that he had "exercised poor judgment in intervening with the regulators." The net effect of the actions of the Keating 5 senators was to prevent federal regulations from intervening a year earlier and limiting the amount of exposure to taxpayers and investors.

Why is this relevant?

Well, 20 years later, we're back in the middle of another banking crisis and federal regulators have already begun seizing insolvent banks, and this advisory ran on the wires over the weekend:

Silver State Bancorp (NASDAQ:SSBX), the holding company for Silver State Bank, announced today that Andrew K. McCain submitted his resignation today as a director on the Boards of Directors of Silver State Bancorp and Silver State Bank, citing personal reasons.

Mr. McCain previously served as a director of Choice Bank in Scottsdale, Arizona from 2006 to April 1, 2008 when Choice Bank merged into Silver State Bank. Mr. McCain had been appointed to the Boards of the Company and Silver State Bank in February, 2008 and had served on the Audit Committee. Andrew is none other than the son of John McCain.

Be mindful that while Silver State Bancorp has not been seized by federal regulators, it isn't hard to conclude that they're near the top of the watch list. Just last week, the investment site The Motley Fool listed Silver State as three bank stocks not to buy right now. Last month, fears were raised in another Motley Fool analysis of underperforming loans that showed Silver State in dire straits. Already this morning, Silver State (SSBX) is down another 10 percent.

So what is going on? Why did McCain leave the bank's board so suddenly?

Here's what my political gut is telling me: It was pointed out above that Andrew McCain served on the bank's audit committee -- the entity which would know most about the bank's financial situation and its portfolio of increasingly bad loans. Is McCain fleeing the bank, knowing that federal regulators are likely to seize it in short order and did not want his name attached to a collapsing bank right in the middle of a presidential race where his dad is the trailing nominee and whose own political history is soiled with unethical actions involving a bank collapse during the last great banking crisis?

Shockingly -- or not -- the traditional media hasn't yet touched this development, that I've seen. But let's keep a very close eye on developments. It might again prove the saying that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree...

If we insist

on making the distinction

of left and right

of liberal and conservative

so be it

:liberals are for people

conservatives are for business

allowing conservatives to rule the country

is like letting the horse

take the rider

where the horse wants to go

to fill his belly

with green stuff

But if this great nation of ours

is for the people

and by the people

and of the people

we must grab the reins again

or lose our direction

forevermore

The direction we are being taken

will certainly take us

over the cliff

or we can turn around

and together

climb the mountain

"But the revelation that Sen. Obama's running mate has a family connection to a high-powered lobbying firm is potentially very embarrassing to the campaign"


The whole campaign is an embarrassment.

OBAMA HAS NOT MOVED TO THE CENTER. HE IS FURTHER TO THE LEFT THAN JOHN KERRY WAS.

WHAT HAS OBAMA DONE FOR OUR COUNTRY? HE NEVER SERVED IN THE MILITARY. HE DIDN’T EVEN “REGISTER” WHEN HE TURNED 18. HE HAS SPENT HIS TIME AS JUNIOR SENATOR RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT! WHO IS THIS MAN? HE IS A HYPOCRITE!

OBAMA "HOPES" WE WON'T NOTICE HOW OFTEN HE "CHANGES" HIS MIND!

OBAMA WAS "SELECTED" BY THE DNC AND BIASED MEDIA. HILLARY WAS "ELECTED" BY THE PEOPLE OF THE USA. NOW SHE IS BEING FORCED BY THE DNC TO SUPPORT HIM. OBAMA, THE DNC AND BIASED MEDIA STABBED HER IN THE BACK.

DURING THE PRIMARIES --- OBAMA HIRED ATTORNEYS TO KEEP THE VOTERS FROM COUNTING IN FLORIDA IN MICHIGAN --- NOW THEY WILL BE COUNTED! THIS IS SO BAD! OBAMA AND THE DNC CANNOT BE TRUSTED!

OBAMA SAT ON A BOARD WITH WILLIAM AYERS. THEY, WITH THEIR WIVES, SOCIALIZED IN EACH OTHER'S HOMES! HE REALLY SHOULD NOT PRETEND HE DOESN'T KNOW THEM. AYERS AND HIS WIFE WERE CONTRIBUTORS TO OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN.

WHY IS OBAMA SO INTERESTED IN HOW MANY HOMES McCAIN OWNS? AT LEAST THE McCAINS DID NOT DEAL WITH OBAMA'S FRIEND, CONVICTED FELON "REZKO"!

OBAMA AND McCAIN ARE BOTH MULTI-MILLIONNAIRES! WHO CARES! THEY BOTH HAVE EXPERIENCED "THE AMERICAN DREAM".

McCAIN IS ALSO AN INVESTOR. PORTFOLIOS CHANGE DAILY. SOME OF THE PROPERTIES ARE TRUST-OWNED BY MRS. McCAIN'S FAMILY TRUST. APPARENTLY OBAMA HAS NO BUSINESS SENSE.

IS OBAMA WORRIED THAT McCAIN MAY HAVE HOMES IN ALL OF OBAMA'S "57" STATES? IS OBAMA JUST STUPID OR WHAT?

OBAMA KEEPS SCREWING UP --- WE DON'T NEED AN EXPERIENCED "VICE PRESIDENT" --- JOE BIDEN.

WE NEED AN EXPERIENCED, QUALIFIED "PRESIDENT" --- JOHN McCAIN IN 2008!

Biden does not change the nature of the race. At the end of the day, we will vote for a president --- not a vice president!

ATHEISM: A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE

Kathy10:39PMAug 24th 2008.....Obama is the negative one, sorry. I am a lifelong Dem. and am sick of Obama's manipulating voters' rights, fraud, and downright meaness.
***********************OK Kathy. Can you please provide me with examples of Obama's 'manipulating voters' rights, fraud and downright meaness [sic]?' Verifiable examples.

ALl I see is McCain acting honorably as a whole.
************************WOW You and I have very different definitions of 'honorably.' Dirty, smear ads are honorable? Cheating on your wife is honorable? Exaggerating your POW experience is honorable?

You whanty, whiney, thin skinned Obamabots have got to get a grip.
*******************I don't know what 'whanty' means, but it seems to me it is the Hillary worshippers who are doing all the whining. They just cannot accept the fact that SHE LOST fair and square, and it can all be blamed on the sloppy campaign her crew ran.

I just saw utubes' videos of voter fraud by overly agressive Obamabots - downright cheating and intimidating voters. It's all gonna come out.
***********************About the last place in the world I would turn to for a reliable story, putting FAUX News in the very last spot, would be YouTube. Anyone can post anything they want on that site. Again, how about some verifiable examples?

Obama - you have no integrety-no core- you are henpecked by a frenzied hateful wife - as well as pandering to an electorate just to get elected. WE SEE RIGHT THROUGH you.
********************Obama AND his wife have more class and integrity - AND INTELLIGENCE - in their little fingers than McSame and the Ice Queen have in their whole bodies. Ask the Ice Queen about meeting Mother Teresa (liar). And you accuse Obama of pandering? That is funny considering all McSame did in the church thing last week was pander to the Preacher and talk about his Vietnam experience, an experience shared for just as long if not longer by hundreds of captives.

This is just too much. Biden's son is the one that got Larry Sinclair arrested and tried to get him put away for life on trumped up charges. It didn't work - but - well... that really looks bad. Biden's son puts away Obama's alledged gay lover drug buddy... and suddenly Biden is his running mate.
**************************Do you realize what a fool you make of yourself to even suggest you believe that crap? If there were even one iota of truth to THAT smear attempt, don't you think it would have been all over the headlines throughout the world for the last year? Larry Sinclair is an ex-con, drug addict, drug dealer who has been paid (let's not even go there) to launch this trash. And why would Sinclair be arrested outside of Illinois unless, omg, maybe he really did break the law.

What was the DNC thinking? Pelosi, Dean et al are suicidal. I can see where Pelosi wants Dems to lose to save her job ... but come on --- we Americans are not morons or sheep.

*******************Bottom line........Obama is going to win, so you'd better do some research and see what he is REALLY all about b/c it is much more impressive than McSame.

the man that obama picked to get him elected worked for a firm that gets all of their money from lobbiest.
obamas quotes from his books

This obama wants to be our President and control our government.Pay close attention to thelast 2 comment!
Below are a few lines from Obama's books, his words:


From Dreams of My Father: "I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites."

From Dreams of My Father : "I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mothers race."

From Dreams of My Father: "There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white."

From Dreams of My Father: "It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names."

From Dreams of My Father: "I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela."

From Audacity of Hope: "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

obama says
'My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world.
I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it.' (B. Obama)

If this doesn't worry you.....forget I mentioned it.

What cheap whores our US Senatepigs really are, Lets see, Bidens son, LOBBY FIRM in Delaware, Joes District, University of Delaware gets 25 MILLION in Earmarks, Bidens firm gets 1.5 Million from UOD, Our whores really do work at a low margin? After the firm takes its bit out of the bribe. How much does Joe GET in Political donations, and other PERKS? Cheap WHORES. Is the Democratic Party INSANE, putting a LOBBY FIRM on the TICKET? Oh let us not FORGET, OBAMA is a champion Earmark PIG also. The STUPID American Voting Public deserves exactly what we get on Election day. MORE LOBBYISTS, MORE CORRUPTION, MORE PIGS, MORE Taxes, Lets keep voting these pigs in, 74 Thousand Lobbyists are countion on our MONEY.

Perhaps a more important point that is being missed is that it seems many D.C. politicians families and friends become lobbyists. That fact alone should be a clue to all citizens to stand en masse and demand NO lobbying be permitted in the US. The politicians set the earmarks that their family members and friends lobby for? They get these things passed and in return have campaign funding and voter support to keep the seats that they are using to make lobbyists and their family and friends wealthy! What more overt signs of theft from the American tax payer do we need see? Demand Washington be accountable and end ALL lobbying!
