‘Big Brother’ database for phones and e-mails

 

A massive government database holding details of every phone call, e-mail and time spent on the internet by the public is being planned as part of the fight against crime and terrorism. Internet service providers (ISPs) and telecoms companies would hand over the records to the Home Office under plans put forward by officials.

Are You Experienced? "Yes He Is"!

Why Barack Obama, a State Legislator who is now a  U.S. senator  will trump John McCain. 

http://www.newsweek.com/id/142892/page/1

Huckabee joining Fox News as political commentator

Can it be any more clear just who Huckabee really is?  After his remarks about Obama at the NRA meeting and his "supposed" apology, we "might" have forgiven him.  Now we know that he meant what he said. May God forgive Mike Huckabee. His claim to be a minister of God makes him even more accountable to God. He will answer double for his actions at judgment day.

No one who considered himself worthy to gain the Presidency would consider working with FOX.  They have spread some of the most virulent trash on network and Internet sites.  Shame on you Huckabee!  If McCain taps him for Vice President, we'll know something new about McCain.

Hillary Clinton in negotiations for Barack Obama to help pay off her debts

Posted by Toby Harnden on 02 Jun 2008  at 22:28 

Negotiations are understood to be taking place between the Obama and Clinton campaigns about the Illinois senator helping to repay some of the massive debt incurred by his rival. One of Hillary Clinton’s donors said that the former First Lady’s campaign was as much as $40 million in the red.

In a conference call with major donors this afternoon, contributors were told by Harold Ickes, a senior Clinton adviser, that she was unlikely to pull out of the race until the issue of her massive debts was resolved. The New York senator has lent her own campaign at least $11.5 million.

One source close to a major donor said: “It’s not about the vice-presidency or any other position she might get. It’s about the money – in particular the Clinton family money.” The Obama campaign might have to reach deeply into its well-stocked coffers in order to secure the full support of Mrs Clinton and her husband Bill in the November general election.

But in a sign that Mr Obama believes a deal can be struck, he said at an event in Troy, Michigan: “Mrs Clinton has run an outstanding campaign and she is an outstanding public servant. And she and I will be working together in November.”

 

http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/foreign/tobyharnden/june2008/cashtalks.htm

Is this true?  If so, how does it work?  Will Obama use the money I donated to pay Clinton’s debt?  I protest.  I don’t want to contribute to her campaign now or ever.  She should have ended her campaign a while ago instead of continuing to pile up debt.  Are my dollars going to go to pay back the money she “lent” her campaign?  She’s the millionaire, not me.  Please say it isn’t so.

URGENT ACTION NEEDED:  Speak to The Rules Committee before May 31, 2008

The Rules Committee of the Democratic National Committee will be meeting on May 31, 2008 to decide what to do about seating Florida and Michigan.

Contact the Rules Committee to let them know that the decision must NOT result in Barack Obama being denied the nomination.

Is This A Scandal Brewing? Vote Tampering in New York?

 

I recall that many New Yorkers were outraged when it was announced that Clinton had taken New York by such a large margin.  Now, it seems that they were on to something.

 

Read the articles at these LINKS and let’s follow the recount.

Our Veterans Deserve More: Winter Soldier: Iraq & Afghanistan 

If you want to hear testimony from veterans concerning the so-called war in Iraq and Afghanistan, check this out. 

I heard several accounts this morning on the commute to work that I think all Americans should hear.  Not to necessarily change your political views (information is power), but to make you aware of the potential mental state of the returning soldier living, working, driving next to you…

Winter Soldier: Iraq & Afghanistan

Winter Soldier: Iraq and Afghanistan featured testimony from U.S. veterans who served in those occupations, giving an accurate account of what is really happening day in and day out, on the ground.

This four-day event brought together veterans from across the country to testify about their experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan - and present video and photographic evidence. In addition, panels of scholars, veterans, journalists, and other specialists gave context to the testimony. These panels covered everything from the history of the GI resistance movement to the fight for veterans' health benefits and support.

Everything I Hate About Myself I See in Hillary, by Judy Bachrach

 

You will love this piece.  I had been toying with writing a similar piece after complaining after every debate and every speech that Clinton seemed to have no ideas of her own and merely appropriated those of Barack.  After you read this chunk, read the rest of it.  Good for Friday morning!

 

“What kills me is the way Hillary deals with men other than her husband, especially powerful men. Whenever Hillary thinks Obama is onto something – a phrase, say, or even a piece of rhetoric, however tedious – she doesn’t do what most politicians do: which is to, say, challenge it. No, what Hillary does is fiddle with a syllable or two and then appropriate the last thing that pops out of her rival’s mouth as though it were her own (Yes we WILL!!).”

CLINTON: PLAYING THE RACE CARD?

Read this post from The New York Post and then follow the LINK to read what others have said about her latest attempt to marginalize Obama.  There is no way I will EVER vote for her.  Barack MUST NOT, under any circumstances put her on the ticket.  Her views are anathema to everything his campaign is about.  If Party Bigwigs try to force Barack to offer her the V.P. slot, we (supporters) must rise up in protest.  Clinton is the wrong person for America and the world.

 

The New York Post: “Clinton played the race card yesterday as she dismissed Barack Obama as a candidate who will have a hard time winning support from ‘white Americans.’ It was the most starkly racial comment Clinton has made in the campaign, and drew quick condemnation from some Democrats.

“ ‘I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on,’ she told USA Today in an interview published yesterday. She referred to an Associated Press story on Indiana and North Carolina exit polls ‘that found how Sen. Obama's support among working, hardworking Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me.’ She added, ‘There's a pattern emerging here.’”

Here’s what some said in response: “Muriel Offerman, a North Carolina superdelegate who has not disclosed her choice, said, ‘That should not have been said. I think it drives a wedge, a racial wedge, and that's not what the Democratic Party's about.’ Asked about Clinton's comments, Massachusetts superdelegate Debra Kozikowsi said, ‘That's distressing. I'm not even sure how to respond to that.’”
