A lot of hay has been made over this quote from barrack Obama.

“...just to take a, sort of a realist perspective...there’s a lot of change going on outside of the Court, um, that, that judges essentially have to take judicial notice of. I mean you’ve got World War II, you’ve got uh, uh, uh, the doctrines of Nazism, that, that we are fighting against, that start looking uncomfortably similar to what we have going on, back here at home.”

Now I could pile on to Obama, and it would be easy. I won’t, though, because I can think of a perfect example in which the Court did exactly that in the midst of WWII – the famous flag salute case, WEST VIRGINIA STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION ET AL. v. BARNETTE (319 U.S. 624). Consider this “money quote” from the decision, which is exactly the sort of thing that Obama is talking about.

As governmental pressure toward unity becomes greater, so strife becomes more bitter as to whose unity it shall be. Probably no deeper division of our people could proceed from any provocation than from finding it necessary to choose what doctrine and whose program public educational officials shall compel youth to unite in embracing. Ultimate futility of such attempts to compel coherence is the lesson of every such effort from the Roman drive to stamp out Christianity as a disturber of its pagan unity, the Inquisition, as a means to religious and dynastic unity, the Siberian exiles as a means to Russian unity, n to the fast failing efforts of our present totalitarian enemiesose who begin coercive elimination of dissent soon find themselves exterminating dissenters. Compulsory unification of opinion achieves only the unanimity of the graveyard.

Indeed, one can reasonably presume that this is the sort of judicial notice to which Obama was referring. The sort of political conformity that the mandatory flag salute required was eerily similar to that required by the Hitler regime, even if more benignly intended. Similarly, the internment of citizens by the Roosevelt administration based upon race and ethnicity in the name of national security did bear a parallel to the much more extreme actions of the Nazis.

Unfortunately for supporters of Obama, other recently disclose Obama quotes signal a dangerous propensity to disregard the text of the Constitution in favor of some other, extra-constitutional scheme designed to dispossess citizens of their property for purposes of redistribution. That is where we need to focus, not upon this relatively benign statement.

Imagine this – a major news organization has a tape of a presidential candidate making highly inflammatory – some would even argue hateful – statements about a close American ally while toasting a personal friend who was also closely tied to a terrorist organization. That’s something they would release in a heartbeat, right?

Not, however, if the news organization is the Los Angeles Times and the candidate is Barack Obama. Then they would hold on to the tape, having determined that the people have no right to know the full contents of the tape.

The Los Angeles Times is refusing to release a videotape that it says shows Barack Obama praising a Chicago professor who was an alleged mouthpiece for the Palestine Liberation Organization while it was a designated terrorist group in the 1970s and '80s.

According an LA Times article written by Peter Wallsten in April, Obama was a "friend and frequent dinner companion" of Rashid Khalidi, who from 1976 to1982 was reportedly a director of the official Palestinian press agency, WAFA, which was operating in exile from Beirut with the PLO.

In the article -- based on the videotape obtained by the Times -- Wallsten said Obama addressed an audience during a 2003 farewell dinner for Khalidi, who was Obama's colleague at the University of Chicago, before his departure for Columbia University in New York. Obama said his many talks with Khalidi and his wife Mona stood as "consistent reminders to me of my own blind spots and my own biases."

Now one would think that the paper would be willing to offer documentation proving those charges – but they are not. Indeed, they now claim (after having repeatedly spun the decision in other ways) that they have an obligation to honor a secrecy promise made to an anonymous source. Odd, isn’t it, that the paper won’t do that with Top Secret government documents, bu will do so to protect a presidential candidate from his own words and record.

Well, the McCain camp has called out the LA Times over this journalistic malpractice in the name of electing their preferred candidate, and rightly so. After all, who knows what other bombshells might be in the tape?

Well, apparently journalist Doug Ross has some idea – he heard from an inside source at the paper who has actually seen some pretty damning content in the tape.

Saw a clip from the tape. Reason we can’t release it is because statements Obama said to rile audience up during toast. He congratulates Khalidi for his work saying “Israel has no God-given right to occupy Palestine” plus there’s been “genocide against the Palestinian people by Israelis.”

In other words, Barack Obama engaged in blood libel against the Jews in defense of those whose stated objective is the destruction of the Jewish homeland. Inded, his statement can only be understood as one supportive of that goal. That’s why the paper won’t allow the tape – or a transcript of the tape – to be released to the public. It would result in the desertion of Barack Oama by those who recognize that Israel is America’s only reliable ally in the region. He could kiss the Jewish vote goodbye – and with it Florida.

Interestingly enough, the sort of rhetoric Obama espoused that night should ring a bell for most Americans. It is precisely the same sort of rhetoric directed by his pastor, jeremiah Wright, against Israel from the pulpit and in his church newsletter (in which he reprinted Hamas propaganda). DoesnÂ’t that make the Wright connection incredibly relevant?

Oh, and by the way, LGF has a guest list for the event.

I said it over the summer when he was first indicted -- Ted Stevens' corruption necessitates his departure from the US Senate.

There remain serious issues for appeal, though, given the amount of prosecutorial misconduct during this trial. He may yet walk, or die before seeing the inside of a prison cell (he is 84, after all).

And let me say that I agree with Ed and Michelle -- to a point.

Â…the Republicans deserve to lose it for not doing a better job of defeating Stevens in the primary.

They are right -- we deserve to lose the seat for not getting rid of him.

However, I must admit that I still hopes he wins and takes his seat next January -- after which he should submit his immediate resignation from office. At that point, Alaska's Governor will appoint a Republican replacement -- and we could see a scenario in which Gov. Sarah Palin becomes Senator Sarah Palin -- making her the GOP front-runner for 2012.

Barney Frank will have a big influence if the Dems continue to hold the House and Senate – and will be even more powerful if Barack Obama wins the White House.

HereÂ’s what he tells us are the goals of Democrats if that happens.

Case in point: Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), who has told a hometown newspaper House Democrats will seek a 25 percent reduction in defense spending upon Obama's ascension.
Oh, and stand by for a big tax hike.
* * *

"We'll have to raise taxes, ultimately," Frank said. "Not now, but eventually."

So forget all that stuff about higher taxes only for the top 5% of earners and cuts for the rest of us – your taxes will be going up, one way or another.

Especially as they define “the wealthy” down from those couples making $250K to those making $200K and finally to those couples making $100K – in other words, a good chunk of two-income middle class families.

And while my taxes wonÂ’t be increased (my wife and I have only one income, and I am a teacher so donÂ’t have to worry about making anywhere near any of those figures above), I will be paying higher prices when I head to the store and seeing smaller pay raises as the economy slows and my district lacks the ability to increase my compensation at the 3% or 4% annual increase we usually see. Anyone who actually understands the economics of tax increases knows that is how it always works.

And as for those defense cuts -- they are clearly a case of CHANGE that puts the safety of this country last in the HOPE that our nation's enemies will play nice as we disarm.

I noted how Joe the Plumber was attacked for participating in the democratic process by asking a pointed question of one of the two major party candidates for president. What we now find out is that laws were broken in the process. Where are the howls of outrage from the media and the activists who object to spying on terrorists intent upon attacking American interests and their associates?

Public records requested by The Dispatch disclose that information on WurzelbacherÂ’s driverÂ’s license or his sport-utility vehicle was pulled from the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles database three times shortly after the debate.

Information on Wurzelbacher was accessed by accounts assigned to the office of Ohio Attorney General Nancy H. Rogers, the Cuyahoga County Child Support Enforcement Agency and the Toledo Police Department.

It has not been determined who checked on Wurzelbacher, or why. Direct access to driverÂ’s license and vehicle registration information from BMV computers is restricted to legitimate law enforcement and government business.

His criminal records and child support records were also accessed during the same time period.

Now ObamaÂ’s campaign denounced folks looking into the presidential candidateÂ’s passport file (as well as those of Hillary Clinton and John McCain) just a few months back, and people were fired. Why are they silent about this breach of privacy against a private citizen simply because he engaged in protected First Amendment activity?

UPDATE: This does raise an interesting question -- if it is so easy to get a look at the records of a private citizen who has the audacity to exercise his First Amendment rights during a political campaign, why can the American public still see a copy of Barack Obama's original birth certificate? After all, receiving indisputable evidence that Obama is a constitutionally eligible for the office he seeks would certainly seem to be a much more serious matter of public concern than anything about Joe the Plumber.

The polling numbers say we can do it – are we motivated enough to carry it off?

U.S. Rep. Nick Lampson, D-Stafford, trailed Republican challenger Pete Olson by 17 percentage points early last week, according to the survey by Zogby International. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 5 percentage points.

* * *

In the 22nd Congressional District, represented by Lampson after the 2006 resignation of Republican powerhouse Tom DeLay, only 5 percent of Republican voters in the survey had defected to Lampson.

Lampson led Olson among independents, 45 percent to 39 percent. But only 16 percent in the poll identified themselves as independent; while 52 percent said Republican and 32 percent said Democrat.

WeÂ’ve been stuck with this lemon since Tom DeLay decided to go out on his own ego trip two years ago. He hasnÂ’t been much of a centrist, and it is clear that he hasnÂ’t voted the way his constituents wanted him to, despite his claims to the contrary. If he had, he would not be losing by 17 points in the poll. And while Pete Olson was not my primary candidate 9and was not even among my top three choices in the 10 person race), IÂ’ve gladly supported him this fall.

And folks, make sure you vote the straight GOP ticket. After all, we have a whole host of down-ballot races for judges and county-wide offices that are important for us to hold on to. If you donÂ’t vote, they will go by default to the Democrats.

Want to bet we would hear shrill shrieks of R-R-R-A-A-A-C-C-C-I-I-I-S-S-S-M-M-M from the Obama campaign, the DNC, assorted race hos, and the MSM?

But somehow they find this acceptable.

First he tried to justify it in terms of it being Halloween.

He says "it should be seen as art, and as within the month of October. It's Halloween, it's time to be scary it's time to be spooky."

But then he tried to argue that it was OK because Palin, after all, is only white.

"I know if we had done it with Barack Obama, people would've probably thrown things through our windows," Morrisette said. "The image of a hanged black man is a lot more intense than the image of a hanged white woman -- for our country -- in the history of our country."

Yep – it is that racial double standard again.

So got that – the tolerant Left thinks thinks it is “art” to depict the murder of white women with the wrong political opinions. But there are some lines that they refuse to cross – even though we are oftent old that art is supposed to be “edgy” and “cross boundaries”. I guess those are only conservative boundaries. Because please notice that Joe Biden isn’t depicted as a part of the display, though John McCain is.

And its just as well – even if Morrisette’s “art” were to include a hanging Barack Obama, and it were accepted as part of the spirit of the season, there would still be a serious uproar. After all, calling such a display “spooky” would be simply one more opportunity for the usual suspects to holler R-R-R-A-A-A-C-C-C-I-I-I-S-S-S-M-M-M!

HavenÂ’t had a chance to post for several days, so I have not had the opportunity to comment on the news that the reported assault on a McCain campaign volunteer was false. I hold her in equal contempt.

Police say a campaign volunteer confessed to making up a story that a mugger attacked her and cut the letter B in her face after seeing her McCain bumper sticker; now sheÂ’s facing charges.

At a news conference this afternoon, officials said they believe that Ashley ToddÂ’s injuries were self-inflicted.

Todd, 20, of Texas, is now facing charges for filing a false report to police.

First, IÂ’m glad she is facing charges. Second, I hope she is convicted, and gets the maximum sentence. Her offense struck directly at the heart of race relations and the political process. In my eyes she is no better than the student in Illinois who faked anti-Muslim hate crimes.

Oh, yweah -- and I urge Texas A&M to expel her from the university as a way of protecting its good name.

And sadly, her actions serve to discredit the dozens of documented crimes (including gunshots at the Straight Talk Express, which one commenter sought to justify here) committed against McCain supporters.

No, not the GOP.

The Democrats.

You know, stuff like this.

The home of a Central Florida Republican headquarters manager was shot up and damaged over his support of Sen. John McCain, the man told police.

Let’s see – we’ve had fire bombings of signs, assaults on folks engaged in peaceful political advocacy, an attack on the Straight Talk Express and now gun violence against a private home. Looks to me like too many members of the Obamanation are too unstable to be allowed anywhere near the reins of power.

UPDATE: Just got a link to this in my email, so I'm updating and bumping.

A 20-year-old woman who was robbed at an ATM in Bloomfield was also maimed by her attacker, apparently because of her political views, Pittsburgh police said.

According to WTAE's news exchange partners at the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Ashley Todd, of College Station, Texas, was using an ATM at Liberty Avenue and Pearl Street just before 9 p.m. Wednesday when a man approached her and put a knife to her throat.

Police spokeswoman Diane Richard said the robber took $60 from Todd, then became angry when he saw a McCain bumper sticker on the victim's car. The attacker then punched and kicked the victim, before using the knife to scratch the letter "B" into her face, Richard said.

Sounds like another Obama supporter, with so high a degree of tolerance for other peoples' views that he is willing to do bodily harm to anyone so intolerant as to disagree with him. While some might argue that Obama and Biden are not responsible for this attack by a criminal thug, I disagree -- after all, McCain and Palin have been held responsible for words allegedly (but in at least some cases not actually) spoken by a supporter. Those assigning such responsibility have been the Democrat candidates themselves. By their own standards, therefore, they are responsible for this action by one of their criminal followers.

Will the MSM hold their feet to the fire on this one? I'm guessing the answer is NO.

Just a reminder about his political philosophy.

But don’t worry – if you are reading this blog you wouldn’t have had to worry about anything like that. You would probably resist the political reeducation camps he and his confreres proposed – and so would have been one of the 25 million Americans they proposed doing away with in a fashion reminiscent of Stalin, Hitler, or Pol Pot.

But then again, he was more than willing to see innocents killed as a part of his “revolution”.

IÂ’ve heard a lot of crazy stuff out of the media, but never anything as bizarre as this illogical statement regarding newly released tapes of John McCain from his POW days.

The video portrays the Republican as a hero but the message may be tarnished as he is filmed smoking a cigarette.

Excuse me? Cigarette smoking by a prisoner FOUR DECADES AGO might tarnish his image, or somehow devalue the heroism of the man? Are these folks on crack?

Just remember -- this is while Baraack Obama was working with William Ayers, unrepentant terrorist.

Bill Ayers didn't keep his opinions or his past a secret. For Obama to claim he did not know or assumed he was reformed is a crock.

And that, my friends, raises not just the judgment issue, but also the character issue because of his propensity to lie to the American people at every opportunity.

By the way -- how well did Obama know Ayers and how far back does the close relationship go? Close enough for him to be mentioned in one of Ayers' books, for him to give a pre-publication blurb for the book, and for him to give Ayers a glowing personal recommendation.

Explain this one away, Barry!

HereÂ’s another one of those cases in which ideologically litmus tested liberal justices could make a big difference in the outcome.

The Supreme Court agreed Monday to decide whether people picked up on immigration violations also can face charges of identity theft if they use Social Security and other identification numbers that belong to others.

Federal appeals courts have split over whether the defendant must know that the phony ID numbers belong to a real person and the court said it will resolve the question.

Federal prosecutors have increasingly been bringing the more serious identity theft charges against undocumented immigrants, including many who were arrested in raids on meatpacking plants.

Defense lawyers have argued that their clients should not be charged with stealing someone elseÂ’s identity because the immigrants only were seeking documentation that would allow them to work. They didnÂ’t know if the numbers were fictitious or belonged to someone else, their lawyers say.

The Bush administration, however, has said that it doesnÂ’t matter under federal law.

The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, based in St. Louis, agreed with the administration and upheld the conviction of Ignacio Carlos Flores-Figueroa.

Actually, three federal appellate courts have ruled in favor of the administrationÂ’s position, while only one has ruled against it. I would imagine a couple of rushed Supreme Court picks could have a great deal of impact upon the outcome of the case if Barack Obama were to win the election in two weeks, with the pro-illegal ideology of Obama and any justices he appointed leading to a decision that illegal immigrants can get away with crimes that US citizens cannot.

Of course, an Obama victory could well lead to a decision by the new administration to change its position on the issue, and lead to the enshrinement of that principle into law as well.

To protect your identity from border jumpers, vote for McCain – at least he’s better on immigration than Obama.

Why have Barack Obama and Joe Biden stked the fires of hate so high that there would be an act of gun violence against the official McCain campaign bus only weeks before the election? DonÂ’t they and their surrogates know that their extreme words could lead to such violence from their more unstable supporters??

Oh, and why isnÂ’t the media reporting on this story?

We learned at this morningÂ’s Stop Obama Rally here that the McCain/Palin Straight Talk Express came through town yesterday. It arrived with a window shattered by a .22 caliber weapon. It had also been hit by an unknown number of paint balls from a paint ball gun or guns. There were reportedly no injuries and neither candidate was on board.

One local man who saw the damage and spoke with the McCain/Palin staffers said the attack(s) had occured in southern New Mexico that same day. The Express is traveling the country independent of the candidates, handing out campaign materials.

Now tell me, what would happen if the official Obama campaign bus were shot at, even without either of the Democrat candidates aboard? It would be front page news, with all sorts of condemnations of the Republicans for encouraging hatred, and restatements of the discredited stories about calls to kill Barack Obama being heard at GOP rallies.

But actual violence against the McCain campaign bus? The media apparently thinks there is nothing of importance in this news, and so wonÂ’t report it at all.

1 Objectively, I think that there's a conscious effort on part of the media and the Secret Service to suppress these sorts of incidents on both sides of the politic divide, fearing that the whole political debate will turn ugly will soon. This incident with the Express is probably a reaction to demonization of the opposition and the recent reports in the media to the reports of people shouting "kill him" and "terrorist" (and the guy with the Obama monkey which is without a doubt racist) from the McCain/Palin rallies. Both campaigns really need to get back to issues and free their campaigns from hate and hostile opinions.

Posted by: BearCreekMan at Tue Oct 21 03:50:22 2008 (6pLon)

2 So what you are saying is that the gun shots are the McCain campaign's fault? Using that logic, one could rationalize an assassination attempt on Obama because of his friendship with Ayers and membership in Trinity UCC -- something no reasonable person would argue. And sorry, Obama's associations and judgment ARE legitimate issues in the campaign -- because as we learned during the Clinton Administration, character counts.

If you are serving as a legislator and are not allowed to take speaking fees, how can you have speaking fees as a part of your income? That would mean you broke the law to personally enrich yourself.

And if you are a candidate running for president who has such illegal speaking fees, as documented by your tax returns, wouldnÂ’t the media be gung ho to report on your unethical/illegal activity?

Well sure they would – unless your name is Barack Hussein Obama.

Apparently, on ObamaÂ’s released tax records, he discloses income from speaking fees. The problem? Accepting payment for speaking fees when youÂ’re a legislator is against Illinois state law

Apparently, as an Illinois state legislator through 2004, Barack was prohibited from taking honoraria for speaking under the Illinois Governmental Ethics Act
But what about Barack ObamaÂ’s 2000 and 2002 tax returns?

2000: On his 2000 Schedule C-EZ, Barack reported that he received $16,500 as a “Foundation director/Educational speaker.”

2001: On his 2001 Schedule C-EZ, Barack reported $98,158 from a Chicago law firm, Miner, Barnhill, for “Legal services/attorney” (and nothing for speaking)
2002: On his 2002 Schedule C, Barack reported $34,491 for “LEGAL SERVCES / SPEAKING FEES.”

These “speaking fees” are in addition to the amounts that Barack was paid as an employee, a lecturer at the University of Chicago, reported on the first page of his 1040s.

In other words, ObamaÂ’s campaign has released documents signed by barrack Obama on which he admits to illegal and unethical activity. This isnÂ’t stuff being manufactured by his opponents, it is information that ObamaÂ’s own staff has given to the media and the public at his direction.

But somehow, the media isn’t interested in this little tidbit. They would rather look at Cindy McCain’s American Express bill and how many houses the McCains own and the make and model of their vehicles. Illegal activity by Barack Obama? Not a chance – after all, that would mean they would have to call Barack Obama a criminal, and calling a black man who has committed a crime a criminal would be racist .

If you won’t vote for Obama, it is because of your racism – so says Joe Biden.

"Undecided people are having a difficult time just culturally making the change, making the move for the first African American president in the history of the United States of America," the Democratic vice-presidential nominee said at a San Francisco fundraiser Saturday evening. "So we need to respond. We need to respond at the moment, immediately, not wait, not hang around, not assume any of this won't stick."

In other words, it isn’t concern about experience, income redistribution, or national security that is prompting people to reject the most inexperienced presidential candidate since William Jennings Bryan (the first time around) – it is racism. Joe Biden, whose own history of racial and ethnic gaffes, has proclaimed it to be so.

And those of us concerned that the there might be a major international crisis provoked by foreign powers seeking to test a neophyte like Obama are simply listening to fear mongers – like Joe Biden. Such concerns are really just a code for race.

AinÂ’t it great that Barack Obama is a post-racial candidate running a campaign based upon issues?

The tax lien against Joe the Plumber? Or the tax lien against ObamaÂ’s campaign treasurer? Enquiring minds want to know!

One snarky liberal reader wrote in, "WhatÂ’s Joe the Plumber so worried about taxes for? It doesnÂ’t sound like he pays them anyway."

I wonder if she feels the same way about Obama's campaign treasurer, Martin Nesbitt, who has a $2,411 tax lien from the state of California.

Think about it. In 24 hours, we've learned more unflattering details about a guy who asked Obama a question and walked away unpersuaded than almost any of his campaign staff or associates.

Well, since only one has failed to fall down and worship at the altar of Obamism, we know what the Left and the media (but I repeat myself) think. Still, this ought to be Exhibit A of how deep in the tank the MSM is for Obama.

Well, these are certainly interesting, to say the very least.

A lot of the state polls look pretty bad for McCain lately, but there's been an interesting shift in the tracking polls.

• Rasmussen’s Presidential Tracking poll now shows Barack Obama leading John McCain by four points, 50 percent to 46 percent. At one point, Obama was up by 8.
• Gallup’s national tracking poll of likely voters has Obama leading McCain by two points, 49 percent to 47 percent.
• AP/Yahoo shows Obama leading McCain by two points, 44%-42%
• The Reuters/C-Span/Zogby national tracking survey shows Obama leading McCain by five points, 49%-44%.
• The GW/Battleground tracking poll has Obama leading McCain by four points, 49%-45%.

The other thing is, in most of these, if there's been movement, Obama's been pretty consistent - right around, or just under, 50 percent. McCain's gains have come from undecideds.

The key fact there – Obama doesn’t get more than 50% in any of the polls, and in none of them is he ahead by more than 5%. That makes this race winnable in the next 18 days – if we can each persuade one undecided voter to come around to our side – or one unmotivated individual who leans towards McCain to get off their duffs and vote for him.

It is ours to lose – or ours to win. I’d much rather win.

If a student wearing a Barack )bama shirt to school faced this sort of racial harrassment for expressing her political opinions, the press would present it as but one more piece of GOP intolerance. But when it happens to a girl wearing a McCain-Palin shirt, the response is muted and the school seeks to ignore the incident.

She's only 12 years old but Ashleigh Jones is feeling the heat of this election year.

ThatÂ’s because the seventh grader at New Smyrna Beach Middle School was called a racist by classmates for wearing a pro-Sarah Palin t-shirt.

Jones is volunteering at the Republican Headquarters in New Smyrna Beach. The Palin t-shirt was a gift from her fellow volunteers.
But when she wore it to school she learned just how tough politics can be.

“Some of the students were calling me racist because I was Caucasian,” she said. “I wanted the Caucasian man to win. And I told them that’s not true. It’s my freedom of speech, it’s my opinion.”

Interestingly enough, Ashleigh and her family are not planning to sue, nor are they seeking legal intervention to punish the school or her harassers. That’s refreshing in one sense –but I don’t think it is the right response. Given the consistent use of thug tactics to silence those who do not hew to the tenets of Obamism and fall down in worship of the Obamessiah, I think it is important that we take every opportunity to get legal precedents on the books to protect the rights of those of us who dissent from that foul ideology. Not, of course, that I expect the rights or precedents to be respected by a potential Obama Administration or the mind-numbed zombies who are voting for him – but I’d like there to be a crystal clear record of how American liberties were undermined by these folks.

Remember the media hubbub two years over the Mark Foley (R-FL) “dirty email” scandal? Well, it is now clear that his successor, Tim Mahoney (D-FL), has had no less than two affairs since taking over the office on a platform of family values and restored morality. So where is the press on this story – especially now that it appears there is a federal investigation involving the misuse of congressional funds and a potential sexual quid-pro-quo for disaster relief funds in the county run by one of his bimbos.

The FBI is investigating whether Democratic U.S. Rep. Tim Mahoney broke any laws or misused federal money when he hired a mistress to work in his office, a senior federal law enforcement official told The Associated Press.

Federal agents also are examining whether a second affair Mahoney was having with a high-level official in his Florida district was behind his decision to push for federal emergency funds for her county, the official said.

The person spoke to The Associated Press only on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the investigation. The person noted investigators would likely need both women's help to pursue the matter. The cases would be hard to prove without them.

We’ve yet to hear the media ask what the Democrat leadership knew and when they knew it – and why they didn’t address it with an ethics investigation at the time rather than waiting until the long-rumored affairs were finally made public. For that matter, the press isn’t giving us the saturation coverage that they gave a handful of questionable emails sent to male pages and held by Democrat activists until they would do the most political damage to the GOP. I wonder why that could be?

The good news, though, is that Mahoney is now down by 26 in the polls, with the deficit widening since it became public that he couldnÂ’t keep his pants on and his mistresses out of the public purse.

But that won’t stop the Left from saying it did – after all, the truth quit mattering to them some time ago.

The agent in charge of the Secret Service field office in Scranton said allegations that someone yelled “kill him” when presidential hopeful Barack Obama’s name was mentioned during Tuesday’s Sarah Palin rally are unfounded.
The Scranton Times-Tribune first reported the alleged incident on its Web site Tuesday and then again in its print edition Wednesday. The first story, written by reporter David Singleton, appeared with allegations that while congressional candidate Chris Hackett was addressing the crowd and mentioned Obama’s name a man in the audience shouted “kill him."
News organizations including ABC, The Associated Press, The Washington Monthly and MSNBCÂ’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann reported the claim, with most attributing the allegations to the Times-Tribune story.
Agent Bill Slavoski said he was in the audience, along with an undisclosed number of additional secret service agents and other law enforcement officers and not one heard the comment.
“I was baffled,” he said after reading the report in Wednesday’s Times-Tribune.
He said the agency conducted an investigation Wednesday, after seeing the story, and could not find one person to corroborate the allegation other than Singleton.
Slavoski said more than 20 non-security agents were interviewed Wednesday, from news media to ordinary citizens in attendance at the rally for the Republican vice presidential candidate held at the Riverfront Sports Complex. He said Singleton was the only one to say he heard someone yell “kill him.”
“We have yet to find someone to back up the story,” Slavoski said. “We had people all over and we have yet to find anyone who said they heard it.”

Not, of course, that the minor detail that their reporter was the only person who seems to have heard the comment matters to the Scranton Times-Tribune and its editors. They have staked out the position that since their reporter reported it and they approved it, it must be the truth. So never mind what the protective detail and participants in the rally have to say – the outrageous comment is reality because the press says it is.

If you lack any legitimate argument in favor of your candidate, just dump dog shit in the back of your neighborÂ’s truck because he supports the other guy.

A St. Cloud man, and self-proclaimed John McCain hater, was arrested Wednesday for putting bags of dog poop in the bed of a pickup truck with McCain-Palin stickers.
Officers responded to the 2300 block of 27th St. S on Wednesday for a complaint of someone dumping dog poop in the back of a pickup truck.
The owner of the truck said he put McCain-Palin campaign stickers on his truck about two weeks ago. Shortly after, he started finding small bags of dog poop in the back of the truck.
Wednesday morning, the ownerÂ’s mother saw a neighbor putting bags of poop in the truck and called police.
David Vandelinden, 45, of St. Cloud was identified as the suspect, and admitted to placing the dog poop in the truck because “he hates McCain.”
Vandelinden was issued a $183 fine for littering and unlawful dumping.

Well, I suppose that is a step up from Molotov cocktails, but it still betrays a lack of civility of the sort that Obama and his minions complain that Republicans lack. Could it be that such charges are nothing more than projection?

Because if you exercise your civil liberties to question their ideology, you will lose your right to privacy and will be investigated by the government.

Want an example? Look at the response of the KOSsacks to Joe the Plumber after he dared to dissent (didnÂ’t we hear for the last 8 years that dissent is the highest from the Gospel According to Obama the Lightworker.

The IRS, the FBI, and the FTC should be checking into this guy.
This guy Joe may regret his 15 minutes of fame. Most of us have skeletons in the closet. Does he really want his revealed?

Got that? For questioning the policy proposals of a presidential candidate, he needs to have his taxes audited, a criminal investigation launched against him, and complete scrutiny of his business practices – as well as having complete exposure of the details of his private life. What next – a show trial like those put on by Stalin during the Purges? Can you imagine the abuses that would result if these people were ever permitted to hold the reins of power? We would rapidly descend into the depths of leftist tyranny!

In other words, the preservation of our civil liberties are at stake in this election – and that is reason enough to vote for McCain in order to stave of the legions of forced conformity under the tyrannical banner of Obamism. But then again, why should we be surprised – Biden has already let us know that when the Democrats are in charge, paying higher taxes is the highest sign of liberty, not dissent.

H/T Newsbusters, Don Surber

UPDATE: Interesting, isn't it, that Obama and his supporters object to efforts to take jobs away from "undocumented workers" who have entered the country illegally and have no right to be employed here -- but are now rushing around to get a US citizen like Joe the Plumber shut down because he lacks a city plumbing license. Too bad he isn't Jose el Plomero -- he might be able to get someone to stand up on his behalf in the face of an attack on his civil liberties and right to a decent job at which he makes a decent living. But since he's white, English-speaking, and a US citizen, the same folks who would be defending him are now out to destroy him for voicing an unacceptable political view.

But his standard of ethics seems to be “Well, it wasn’t illegal.”

Responding for the first time to allegations he paid $121,000 to prevent a lawsuit by a former staffer with whom he had an affair, Democratic U.S. Rep. Tim Mahoney this morning acknowledged causing "pain" to his family, but said he didn't break any laws and would fight for his reelection.

Mahoney, accompanied by his wife, appeared before local reporters for less than two minutes in a meeting room at the PGA National Resort. He read a prepared statement and did not take questions.

"I have not violated my oath of office, nor have I violated any laws, and I consider this to be a private matter," said Mahoney.

Except you ran as the guy with great family values who was going to bring a higher moral tone after the Mark Foley dirty email scandal. Now it appears that he was boffing a campaign aide during that very campaign, and has since paid her off to keep the matter out of court. That makes it a public matter.

Now if only the press will spend some time running down the story about Barack ObamaÂ’s girlfriend who Michelle ran offÂ…

First they try to steal the election – then they assault those who try to prevent it. Looks like the Obamacrats want to turn America into a Third World Country like Mugabe’s Zimbabwe.

George Manos, the 75-year-old Republican, told police that Edith Walker, the 73-year-old Democrat, jumped on his back and struck him in the head three to four times with her fists. Manos said two other elections workers had to pull Walker off his back, according to a report filed with Cuyahoga Falls police.

Manos said it happened after he accused Walker of ballot tampering, and he wants to prosecute.

The incident, which occurred about noon at Gardens of Western Reserve nursing home, is being investigated by both the police and the Summit County elections board. The board probe could lead to a closer examination of the other votes with which Walker was involved.

It seems that Walker had marked a ballot for Obama even after the resident clearly stated a desire to vote for McCain. When Manos, the GOP poll worker, attempted to examine the ballot (as is his right under the law), Walker at first refused and then engaged in an act of violence to prevent him from doing so.

Just one more example of attempted vote theft by Democrats for Barack Obama. In light of the growing evidence of massive fraud by the Left this year, can an Obama victory be seen as legitimate?

And make no mistake – that is not something that applies only to those making over $250,000 a year. It actually applies to the paycheck of every American.

"Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn't it?" the plumber asked, complaining that he was being taxed "more and more for fulfilling the American dream."

"It's not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they've got a chance for success too," Obama responded. "My attitude is that if the economy's good for folks from the bottom up, it's gonna be good for everybody ... I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."

In other words, Barack Obama is going to decide how much success you as an American are allowed to have, and any success beyond that will be confiscated by government and redistributed. And there is nothing magical about that $250,000 figure in his current plan. If there isn’t enough “success” to distribute around (read that money earned by hard-working Americans to redistribute to those who are not as successful or as hard working), that number could easily be changed by the Democrat President with the connuivance of a Democrat-controlled House and Senate. Overnight, the number could become $200,000, or $150,000, or $100,000, depending upon how successful Barack Obama and his socialist cronies believe you should be allowed to be.

Of course, Obama is somehing of a hypocrite on this. He’s got his, in the form of book royalties. I’ve not noticed him redistributing his own success to the poor (no, he used a big chunk of it to buy a house in a dirty deal with a corrupt political insider) – but he wants the government to take yours at gunpoint to use as he sees fit. That is quite antithetical to the notion of freedom and limited government that underlies our Constitution – but then again, Barack Obama believes that the Constitution evolves to mean whatever the latest liberal focus group wants it to mean.

Not just that most of the “cut” is actually composed of refundable tax credits that amount to huge transfer payments to those with no income tax liability. Rather, it is what is done to the marginal tax rate (the tax you pay on the next dollar earned) by most Americans.

Or, explained by the Wall Street Journal,

Because Mr. Obama's tax credits are phased out as incomes rise, they impose a huge "marginal" tax rate increase on low-income workers. The marginal tax rate refers to the rate on the next dollar of income earned. As the nearby chart illustrates, the marginal rate for millions of low- and middle-income workers would spike as they earn more income.

Some families with an income of $40,000 could lose up to 40 cents in vanishing credits for every additional dollar earned from working overtime or taking a new job. As public policy, this is contradictory. The tax credits are sold in the name of "making work pay," but in practice they can be a disincentive to working harder, especially if you're a lower-income couple getting raises of $1,000 or $2,000 a year.

Or put differently, that means there will be an effective tax INCREASE for workers making more than $25K a year.

After all, he ran on a platform of restoring moral values in the wake of the Foley dirty email scandal, using the line that "Restoring America's Values Begins at Home."

West Palm Beach Congressman Tim Mahoney (D-FL), whose predecessor resigned in the wake of a sex scandal, agreed to a $121,000 payment to a former mistress who worked on his staff and was threatening to sue him, according to current and former members of his staff who have been briefed on the settlement, which involved Mahoney and his campaign committee.

Mahoney, who is married, also promised the woman, Patricia Allen, a $50,000 a year job for two years at the agency that handles his campaign advertising, the staffers said.

Bill Clinton.

John Edwards.

Barack Obama.

Tim Mahoney.

Why canÂ’t these Democrats guys keep their pants on around campaign staffers and public employees?

You know, for encouraging a climate of hate directed against his opponents?

You know, like this little gem directed by one of his supporters against Gov. Palin.

Outside on Broad Street, waiting for Palin to leave, one man was heard saying: "Let's stone her, old school."

After all, if McCain and Palin are responsible for every reprehensible comment by a supporter, the same standard should apply to Obama and his supporters.

If you had asked me some time back, I would have said that it did not. However, the exposure of John Edwards’ affair and illegitimate child – and the close connection with his campaign apparatus – and the parallels with this supposed Obama affair makes a closer look imperative.

Barack Obama is the target of a shadowy smear campaign designed to derail his bid for the US Presidency by falsely claiming he had a close friendship with an attractive African-American female employee.

The whispers focus on a young woman who in 2004 was hired to work on his team for his bid to become a senator.

The woman was purportedly sidelined from her duties after Senator ObamaÂ’s wife, Michelle, became convinced that he had developed a personal friendship with her.

The allegations were initially circulated in August, just two weeks before the convention at which Obama finally beat his opponent for the Democratic Party nomination, Hillary Clinton.

The woman, now 33, vigorously denies the vicious and unsubstantiated gossip.

Now excuse me, but isnÂ’t this the same template that was played by the MSM prior to Jophn Edwards being caught visiting his mistress and love child in an LA hotel? The media tried to down-play that story until Edwards was forcibly outed. ShouldnÂ’t they actually do their job this time, three weeks prior to the election?

Now some might say that there is no evidence to support this story. Funny, that didn’t stop the “Sarah Palin isn’t her baby’s mama” some weeks back – or the New York Times article alleging a McCain affair with a lobbyist last spring on the basis of a couple of anonymous sources. Let’s just apply the same standard to Barack Obama that would be applied if he were a Republican, and let the chips fall where they may.

I might not have made the comparison, but I certainly won’t repudiate it – and wish that the McCain team had not done so.

The chairman of the Virginia Republican Party has compared Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama to Osama bin Laden because of the Illinois senator's past association with Bill Ayers, who has confessed to domestic bombings as a member of the Vietnam War-era Weather Underground.

Virginia Democrats, and some Republicans, are outraged, saying these are the latest in a series of inflammatory statements that the GOP has made against Obama in Virginia, a state that has emerged as a crucial battleground in the election.

According to a report in this week's Time magazine, the Virginia party chairman, Del. Jeffrey M. Frederick (R-Prince William), told Virginia volunteers working for GOP nominee John McCain that Obama and bin Laden "both have friends that bombed the Pentagon."

"That is scary," Frederick said while providing talking points to GOP volunteers in western Prince William County as they prepared for a door-to-door canvass.

Now let’s be honest here – Frederick was wrong on one point. Bill Ayers did not have friends who bombed the Pentagon; he actually participated in the bombing personally as one of the leaders of Weathermen. That would make him more akin to Mohammad Atta than to Osama bin Laden, though both less competent than the hijacker in the carrying off his attack and less willing to give his life for his anti-American cause. For that reason, I’d argue that Bill Ayers is more akin to Eric Rudolf, Ted Kaczinski, or Tim McVeigh than he is to Osama bin Laden. Not that this makes him any more savory than the murderous Islamists with whom our nation is today at war.

But somehow, that should not make the association between Obama and Ayers any more acceptable. Indeed, those who have absolved the former domestic terrorist of his sins against America do a grave disservice to the country in doing so. And that Ayers today makes his living off the same government that he attempted to overthrow – something for which he remains unrepentant to this day – is another offense against this country.

Does this make Obama guilty of Ayers’ crimes? No, of course not – but his willingness (and the willingness of so many in the Chicago/Illinois political machine and the national Democrat establishment) to embrace him and work to make him a mainstream political figure is disturbing. Would McVeigh’s co-conspirator Terry Nichols ever be allowed a similar rehabilitation? Would any politician who associated with him after his involvement in the Oklahoma City bombing ever be considered acceptable by the American people? I don’t think either of those questions requires much consideration to answer.

And make no mistake – Ayers certainly had not repented of his treason and terrorism at the time Barack Obama worked with and for him. After all, this was a man who wrote in glowing terms of his acts of violence against the government of the United States in 2001.

In his 2001 memoir, Fugitive Days, Ayers brags that he helped blast NYPD headquarters in 1970, the U.S. Capitol in 1971, and the Defense Department in 1972. “Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon,” Ayers writes. “The sky was blue. The birds were singing. And the bastards were finally going to get what was coming to them.” Ayers also appreciates “a certain eloquence to bombs, a poetry and a pattern from a safe distance.” He called dynamite “That most romantic of nineteenth-century radical tools.”

Obama continued his association and affiliation with Ayers even after those words were widely publicized at the time of their publication. There could be no mistaking him for someone who had repented and been rehabilitated. It is pretty clear that he still adhered to the same violent platform of three decades before, even if he no longer actively engaged in acts of terrorism.

And therein lies the disingenuousness of those who want to defend Obama’s association with William Ayers. Their willingness to forgive Ayers is predicated upon their support for the cause in which he committed terrorism acts of treason and terrorism against his own country – or their willingness to ignore them in the interest of furthering their own political careers. Consideration of that fact ought to be of serious importance in this race, and those who would silence or minimize that issue (as well as Obama’s other unsavory associations) do America a grave disservice.

I seem to recall editorials in 1980 proclaiming that the election of Ronald Reagan would be a foreign policy disaster for America – that the world (especially Europe) wanted to see Jimmy Carter remain in office rather than see the former governor of California come to power. Any other choice, we were told, would be disastrous to America’s prestige and our relationship with our allies. Somehow, things didn’t quite play out that way.

And so I take this editorial in the Washington Post with an entire shaker of salt, not just a grain of the white stuff.

The outpouring of enthusiasm for Mr. Obama in places such as Berlin -- where a smaller share of people say they have favorable views of the United States than in Russia or China -- seems to reflect a longing to repair a broken relationship. An Obama presidency offers the possibility of building on those sentiments. Mr. McCain would have to start cold. Neither may have a good chance of obtaining more European troops for Afghanistan or major new sanctions against Iran. But on the intangible but critical question of American prestige and the willingness to accept U.S. leadership that comes with it, Mr. Obama has more to offer.

On the other hand, I’d like to remind folks that we Americans are charged with electing the best leader for our nation. We are not charged with reflecting world opinion. Our European allies do not look to America for guidance on the selection of their leaders – and were candidates to appeal to their American popularity, most voters in Europe would vote against them. I urge Americans to take the same tack in making their choice in three weeks.

As a second-year associate at a major law firm, she was woman enough to make a stand against the abuse of being treated like a. . . second-year associate.

As far as associate work goes, it could have been worse — “Advertising is a little sexier than spending a full year reading depositions in an antitrust law suit or reviewing documents for a big merger,” says [Quincy] White — but it was monotonous and relatively low-level.

Too monotonous for Michelle, who, White says, complained that the work he gave her was unsatisfactory. He says he gave her the Coors beer ads, which he considered one of the more glamorous assignments they had. Even then, he says, “she at one point went over my head and complained [to human resources] that I wasn’t giving her enough interesting stuff, and the person came down to my office and said, ‘Basically she’s complaining that she’s being treated like she’s a second-year associate,’ and we agreed that she was a second-year associate. I had eight or nine other associates, and I couldn’t start treating one of them a lot better.”

Now I’ll concede that Michelle Obama is an intelligent woman, with a good education and a strong skill set. But when you are working in an entry-level position, you get stuck doing entry-level work. You don’t get to pick and choose your own assignments – and to try to do so is a sign of an extreme arrogance. Maybe, though, she decided that her status as an affirmative action baby would get her one more leg up over her melanin-deficient colleagues.

Oh, and one other reason to hate Michelle Obama – she was actively involved in the promotion of the PBS Barney franchise and we all know that there is a special place in Hell reserved for those who were in any way involved in bringing the purple dinosaur into American living rooms.

Any one want to bet that she played the race card, too?

I'd like to remind all of you about how dishonest Biden has been in the past regarding his use of the death of his first wife and infant daughter for political gain. I wrote about this matter only four weeks ago.

Biden Lied, His Family Died -- UPDATED

More to the point, he lied about how his wife and daughter died.

Since his vice presidential nomination, Joe Biden's 2007 statement that a "guy who allegedly ... drank his lunch" and drove the truck that struck and killed his first wife and daughter has gained national media traction.

Alcohol didn't play a role in the 1972 crash, investigators found. But as recently as last week, the syndicated TV show Inside Edition aired a clip from 2001 of Biden describing the accident to an audience at the University of Delaware and saying the truck driver "stopped to drink instead of drive."

The senator's statements don't jibe with news and law enforcement reports from the time, which cleared driver Curtis C. Dunn, who died in 1999, of wrongdoing.

So what we have here is a bald-faced lie in an attempt to drum up sympathy and votes -- and perhaps obscure the fact that investigators indicated that the accident may well have been caused by Neilia Biden's own negligent driving. One of the things that the official reports reject is the notion that Dunn was driving drunk.

What's more, Joe Biden knows it. He has for at least seven years, and likely for 36 years. How do we know he knows? Because the family raised this issue with him the last time he made this false statement in public, back in 2001.

After reading a News Journal account of Biden's 2001 speech at UD, Hamill sent Biden a letter on behalf of her father. The newspaper story included Biden's description of getting the call that his wife and daughter had died, but not his comments about Dunn.

Hamill said her note to the senator described how Dunn was affected by the accident.

Printed on the senator's letter head and dated Oct. 11, 2001, the response from Biden reads:

"I apologize for taking so long to acknowledge your thoughtful and heartfelt note," Biden wrote. "All that I can say is I am sorry for all of us and please know that neither I nor my sons feel any animosity whatsoever."

One could argue that the failure to dispute the Dunn family's claims indicates his implicit acceptance of their validity. Even if one does not want to go that far, it is clear that Biden should have known that there was serious question about his account of the incident, and that he ought to more fully research the issue before making the claim again.

And besides, there is plenty of documentary evidence that Mr. Dunn was cleared of any wrong-doing in the accident.

Apparently Biden lacked the decency to do so. But then again, we've all known that Biden is "integrity challenged" for a couple of decades now. But that the Obama campaign did not catch this matter earlier raises serious questions into the opposition research and vice presidential vetting conducted on Joe Biden. For that matter, it also raises questions about the willingness of the press to look into family issues that Biden has referred to on the campaign trail and used to solicit votes. After all, doesn't this relapse into dishonesty and cynical abuse of his family call for the same sort of hard-hitting coverage as Bristol Palin's pregnancy? Where the hell is Andrew Sullivan on this one?

How much longer can this dishonest man continue as the Democrat's candidate for Vice President? And what does his selection say about the judgment of Barack Obama?

H/T Malkin

UPDATE: Reading through the comments at the N-J, I came across this one that is striking.

I remember the 1972 accident well.I knew the Bidens then as they shopped in the butcher shop where I worked at that time. Let me make something very clear here. The accident happened at Tim's Corner & Limestone Road. Mrs Biden had a stop sign. Mr Dunn, traveling on Limestone Road, did NOT have any stop sign or any other traffic signal. He had the right of way. The speed limit on Limestone Road was 50 MPH. Mrs Biden either ran the stop sign or pulled away from the stop sign without looking or seeing the oncoming truck.

Those involved with altering the facts of this tragic event should be ashamed. My heart goes out to Mr Dunn's family that something like this is reported as "news". I'm sure there wasn't a day in his life (may he rest in peace) that he did not think of the accident. A car pulled directly in front of him and there was nothing he could have done to prevent what happened.

In other words, not only would this have been a situation in which Mr. Dunn was not at fault, the conclusion has to be that Mrs. Biden either didn't look, didn't see, or didn't care that the truck was coming and had right-of-way. Which means, of course, that the accident was most likely due to her own negligence or error. I understand that this may be an uncomfortable reality for the Senator to acknowledge, but for him to peddle the lie that Dunn was drunk -- especially after being told it was untrue -- is reprehensible and inexcusable.

And remember that the investigation, which was headed by an official who was a friend and neighbor of the Bidens, concluded there was no evidence that Dunn "was speeding, drinking or driving a truck with faulty brakes." Under the circumstances (a politically connected associate of a newly-elected senator investigating the death of the senator's wife), it is safe to conclude that no evidence against Dunn would have been overlooked, and that any evidence of wrong-doing on his part would have been used as grounds to file charges against him in a wreck that killed the wife and child of a senior elected official.

Also, while some may argue that this is an unfair attack on Senator Biden's family, I'd argue that it is a reasonable examination of Senator Biden's integrity. Regardless of the cause of the accident, I still feel an aching compassion for the man over the loss of two precious lives. But his pain is no excuse for bending the truth to the breaking point in his public statements -- while he is welcome to believe what he wants in the privacy of his own heart to deal with the anguish over a tragedy that must always be with him, he has no right to make public accusations that inflict pain today upon the family of a man who was cleared of wrongdoing and can no longer defend himself from such charges.

UPDATE 9/9/2008: MVRC is commenting on the story now. Her questions:

1. If Sarah Palin had this kind of “memory lapse” or told this kind of whopper, how likely would it be that she would get away with it?

2. BidenÂ’s sons were in the vehicle. They were in the hospital for weeks. He took his oath of office at their hospital bed. From then until they got out, he left them alone at the hospital to go to DC to do the senator thing. How is PalinÂ’s bringing her family to DC any worse?

Ever notice that supposedly intelligent faculty members from supposedly elite schools often make some of the stupidest proposals to solve non-problems? Law professor Bruce Ackerman provides a new evidence to support this observation with his proposal to abolish the vice presidency.

For two centuries, presidential nominees have used the office to balance the ticket by naming a running mate from a different region, or one who speaks with a different ideological accent to a specific constituency. This means that a president's death generates a double shock: The nation not only mourns a fallen leader, it must deal with a replacement who may push politics in a new direction.

In making such a proposal, Ackerman makes no proposal for how to deal with the succession issue. Would the successor be the Speaker of the House? The Secretary of State? Who would be the proper successor to the dead leader? And most importantly, how would this alternate successor avoid the “shock” of changed politics and personalities? The answer to this last question is that the change of succession would not do that at all – and that the good professor is seeking to solve a problem that exists only in his mind.

It is always fun to see the media go rushing to the Bible and find some outside the mainstream opinion that supports an interpretation that would require a conservative to do what the liberal demands – or be labeled a hypocrite for not adhering to beliefs that they do not hold.

In a white-steepled church along a stretch in picturesque canyon country, the preacher laid out the basic blueprint of a godly marriage: Husbands lead, wives submit.

Speaking recently before hundreds of worshipers at Placerita Baptist Church in Newhall, guest preacher Chris Mueller affirmed the view that loving male headship and gracious wifely submission are God's plan for spouses.

Placerita, like many conservative Christian churches, teaches that a wife's role is to be her husband's helpmate (Genesis), "workers at home" (Titus) and submissive to her husband in everything (Ephesians).

So how do these congregants square such teachings with their support for Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the conservative evangelical Christian who is aiming to become vice president while her teenage daughter is pregnant, her infant son has Down syndrome and her husband took a leave from work to serve as "Mr. Mom," as People magazine put it?

But let’s be honest – Palin is not one of those who subscribes to such beliefs, which are a twisting of the mainstream views of most Christians. Most Christians – indeed, most evangelicals – are accepting of women working outside the home for various reasons, and supportive of families in which a father is the primary caretaker of children while a mother works. Why make an issue of this – other than to try to drive a wedge between the evangelical base of the GOP and the GOP ticket?

I’m curious – are we next going to be told that good Muslims cannot support Palin because she does not wear a burqa?

We’ve got a local Democrat activist here in Houston who likes to report on unethical campaign fundraising and activities – invariably all of it committed by Republicans, and much of it not even illegal. And I’ll concede that this friendly nemesis is an expert, having been suspended from his NASA job for six months for a series of egregious violations of the Hatch Act.

I wonder, will he comment on this story?

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has directed nearly $100,000 from her political action committee to her husband's real estate and investment firm over the past decade, a practice of paying a spouse with political donations that she supported banning last year.

Financial Leasing Services Inc. (FLS), owned by Paul F. Pelosi, has received $99,000 in rent, utilities and accounting fees from the speaker's "PAC to the Future" over the PAC's nine-year history.

The payments have quadrupled since Mr. Pelosi took over as treasurer of his wife's committee in 2007, Federal Election Commission records show. FLS is on track to take in $48,000 in payments this year alone - eight times as much as it received annually from 2000 to 2005, when the committee was run by another treasurer.

I guess that the Speaker, who promised to clean up Congress, decided that she and her husband would instead clean up by converting campaign funds to personal use. I wonder if the candidate of Change We Can Believe In has anything to say about this matter, or if such conduct is the sort of change that he plans on bringing into being if he is elected president.

Illegal foreign donors, and phantom donors skirting the contribution limits. That is Change We Can Believe In!

Already, the FEC has noted unusual patterns in Obama campaign donations among donors who have been disclosed because they have gone beyond the $200 minimum.

When FEC auditors have questions about contributions, they send letters to the campaignÂ’s finance committee requesting additional information, such as the complete address or employment status of the donor.

* * *

Under campaign finance laws, an individual can donate $2,300 to a candidate for federal office in both the primary and general election, for a total of $4,600. If a donor has topped the limit in the primary, the campaign can “redesignate” the contribution to the general election on its books.

In a letter dated June 25, 2008, the FEC asked the Obama campaign to verify a series of $25 donations from a contributor identified as “Will, Good” from Austin, Texas.

Mr. Good Will listed his employer as “Loving” and his profession as “You.”
A Newsmax analysis of the 1.4 million individual contributions in the latest master file for the Obama campaign discovered 1,000 separate entries for Mr. Good Will, most of them for $25.

In total, Mr. Good Will gave $17,375.

Following this and subsequent FEC requests, campaign records show that 330 contributions from Mr. Good Will were credited back to a credit card. But the most recent report, filed on Sept. 20, showed a net cumulative balance of $8,950 — still well over the $4,600 limit.

There can be no doubt that the Obama campaign noticed these contributions, since ObamaÂ’s Sept. 20 report specified that Good WillÂ’s cumulative contributions since the beginning of the campaign were $9,375.

In an e-mailed response to a query from Newsmax, Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt pledged that the campaign would return the donations. But given the slowness with which the campaign has responded to earlier FEC queries, thereÂ’s no guarantee that the money will be returned before the Nov. 4 election.

Similarly, a donor identified as “Pro, Doodad,” from “Nando, NY,” gave $19,500 in 786 separate donations, most of them for $25. For most of these donations, Mr. Doodad Pro listed his employer as “Loving” and his profession as “You,” just as Good Will had done.

But in some of them, he didn’t even go this far, apparently picking letters at random to fill in the blanks on the credit card donation form. In these cases, he said he was employed by “VCX” and that his profession was “VCVC.”

Following FEC requests, the Obama campaign began refunding money to Doodad Pro in February 2008. In all, about $8,425 was charged back to a credit card. But that still left a net total of $11,165 as of Sept. 20, way over the individual limit of $4,600.

And in a related fundraising problem, the Obama campaign also allowed donors residing in foreign countries to make contributions without verifying their American citizenship – meaning that the campaign raised untold millions in illegal contributions from foreigners. But then again, given his campaigning abroad, why should we be surprised by such a development?
