By MIKE ROBINSON, Associated Press Writer Sat Oct 11, 11:44 AM ET CHICAGO - Jailed political fundraiser Antoin "Tony" Rezko, the Chicago real estate developer who helped launch Barack Obama on his political career, is whispering secrets to federal prosecutors about corruption in Illinois and the political fallout could be explosive. ADVERTISEMENT Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich, whose administration faces multiple federal investigations over how it handed out jobs and money with advice from Rezko, is considered the most vulnerable. Rezko also was friendly with Obama — offering him a job when he finished law school, funding his earliest political campaigns...

Many convicted felons remain on voter rolls, according to Sun Sentinel investigation Thousands who should be ineligible are registered to vote More than 30,000 Florida felons who by law should have been stripped of their right to vote remain registered to cast ballots in this presidential battleground state, a Sun Sentinel investigation has found. Many are faithful voters, with at least 4,900 turning out in past elections. Another 5,600 are not likely to vote Nov. 4 — they're still in prison. Of the felons who registered with a party, Democrats outnumber Republicans more than two to one. Florida's elections chief,...

Until recently, it was possible to believe that whatever Ahmadinejad's intentions, Iran was a long way from acquiring the capabilities it needs to achieve its goals. But a blue-ribbon commission has reported to Congress on what appears to be an Iranian drive to obtain the means to carry out an EMP (electro-magnetic pulse) attack. An EMP attack is produced by launching a ballistic missile with a nuclear weapon attached -- and detonating it high above the Earth. This produces a massive pulse of ionized particles that could damage or even wipe out many electrical and information systems. Such an attack...

Okay. So, I went to my town's Fall Festival, dressed in my McCain/Palin gear. I expected to be harrassed, heck, I expected to be pushed to the ground. After all, The Fake One did send out marching orders to "get in their face" and I live in blue blue DEMONcrat Long Island. Anywho.....the day DID NOT turn out as I expected. I cannot tell you how many thumbs up,nods of approval and "Go McCain" I received (only 1 call for obama as I walked by, and a sneer as we took the pic below)!!! I actually had people coming up...

KURTZ EXPLAINING AYERS AND WHAT THE MEDIA IS MISSING

About 50 parishioners were locked into the Assemblies of God church before it was set ablaze. They were mostly women and children. Those who tried to flee were hacked to death by machete-wielding members of a mob numbering 2,000.

I’m sending you this letter not to ask for money, but to ask for something even more important: your passion and love for this country. As the Chairman of one of the nation's largest anti-Obama political action committees - http://www.OurCountryDeservesBetter.com - I've heard from so many people about how angry and scared they are. They fear that Barack Obama is about to be elected President, that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid will gain greater strength for their agenda in Congress, and that America will be more vulnerable to threats from foreign foes who wish our nation harm. And all of...

Today in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, Sarah Palin discussed the importance of defending "every innocent life" and criticized Obama's "unconditional support for unlimited abortions": “In this same spirit, as defenders of the culture of life, John McCain and I believe in the goodness and potential of every innocent life. I believe the truest measure of any society is how it treats those who are least able to defend and speak for themselves. And who is more vulnerable, or more innocent, than a child? When I learned that my son Trig would have special needs, I had to prepare my heart for the...

I worked the booth at Farmers' Market here in Pasadena, CA -- the Belly of the Beast. We were right next to the Obama booth, well-funded by our Marxist friends around the world. We had a steady, feisty, conservative bunch coming by to get yard signs and bumper stickers. One lonely lib wanted to argue/ I let my husband take him on. Our last visitor was a woman who had JUST become an American citizen and wanted to vote for McCain. I GAVE her a yard sign and welcomed her to America. We heard that a lot of the new...

It's been a dopey campaign. But they usually are. In 1932, Franklin Roosevelt ran on balancing the budget and cutting government spending. In 1940, it was preserving U.S. neutrality in the European war. In 1960, on the cusp of a decade of fundamental change in race relations and the size and scope of the government, John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon spent a lot of time debating a nonexistent missile gap and Quemoy and Matsu. In 2000, the issue of Islamic terrorism was barely mentioned by George W. Bush or Al Gore. This isn't a criticism of America or of...

I wonder if Obambi will try to deny that he ever met Odinga.

LAKEVILLE, Minn. (AP) — The anger is getting raw at Republican rallies and John McCain is acting to tamp it down. McCain was booed by his own supporters Friday when, in an abrupt switch from raising questions about Barack Obama's character, he described the Democrat as a "decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared of as president of the United States." A sense of grievance spilling into rage has gripped some GOP events this week as McCain supporters see his presidential campaign lag against Obama. Some in the audience are making it personal, against...

My suggestions are simple: Keep the pressure on NObama - full force. All Truth. All Facts on NObama's connection to Ayers and any other unsavory people and groups. Define and publish any connections between NObama and the Sub-Prime debacleDefine and publish any connections between NObama and the 'Acorn' groupLocate the leading newspapers in every State that NObama is 'leading' in, and publish full-page factual content on the items aboveFully investigate all allegations of voter fraud, immediately Today's McCain's Camp met with very supportive, yet VERY ANGRY & FRUSTRATED crowds who want McCain/Palin to keep the factual pressure on NObama's campaign....

The Russian's alleged role was disclosed in a document, obtained by the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which describes complex and highly sensitive experiments supposedly conducted inside Iran.

Today, McCain-Palin 2008 released the following statement signed by 100 distinguished and experienced economists at major American universities and research organizations, including five Nobel Prize winners Gary Becker, James Buchanan, Robert Mundell, Edward Prescott, and Vernon Smith. The economists explain why Barack Obama's proposals, including "misguided tax hikes," would "decrease the number of jobs in America." The prospects of such tax rate increases under Barack Obama are already harming the economy. The economists conclude that "Barack Obama's economic proposals are wrong for the American economy." The proposals "defy both economic reason and economic experience."

On the Second Amendment, Don’t Believe Obama! On the campaign trail, Senator Obama hides behind carefully chosen words and vague statements of support for sportsmen and gun rights to sidestep and camouflage the truth. But even he can’t hide from the truth forever… his voting record, political associations, and long standing positions make it clear that, if elected, Barack Obama would be the most anti-gun president in American history. The facts speak for themselves. This election day, vote to defend freedom…because if Obama wins, you lose.

John McCain returns to Minnesota Friday for a town hall meeting in Lakeville. The event, to be held at Lakeville South High School, is free and open to the public, although tickets are required. Tickets are available at the McCain headquarters in Saint Paul at 678 Transfer Road or at the McCain Victory offices around the state. For more information, call 651-645-5432. In exchange for a ticket, the campaign is asking volunteers to make 50 calls and sign up for one get-out-the-vote shift. The event begins at 4 p.m., with doors opening at 1 p.m. Parking will be limited, according...

At the same time the Bush administration was negotiating a still elusive agreement to keep the U.S. military in Iraq, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama tried to convince Iraqi leaders in private conversations that the president shouldn't be allowed to enact the deal without congressional approval.

Republican presidential nominee John McCain is bringing his campaign to La Crosse Friday at the La Crosse Center's South Hall.

HARTFORD, Conn. - The State Elections Enforcement Commission is looking into a complaint alleging that a community advocacy group submitted fraudulent voter registration cards in Bridgeport. Joseph Borges, Bridgeport's Republican registrar of voters, filed the complaint. He said he has found problems with numerous voter registration cards submitted by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, which works to register low-income people. In one instance, he says a card was filled out for a 7-year-old girl, whose age was listed as 27 on the card.ACORN filed more than 8,000 cards in Bridgeport. The complaint involves 10, but...

Biden Calls McCain Lurching 'Angry Man' By Joe Murray, The Bulletin After taking time off to bury his mother-in-law, Joe Biden re-emerged on the campaign trail chiding John McCain, a man he said was a "good man" during last Thursday's vice presidential debate, as "an angry man lurching from one position to another." At issue is the recent decision by the McCain-Palin camp to interject character into the presidential debate. Mr. McCain earlier in the week attempted to create a veil of secrecy surrounding Mr. Obama and said his rival was anything but "an open book." His running mate, Sarah...

Video clips of fiery sermons given by Sen. Barack Obama's former pastor, in Obama's former church, set off a firestorm of controversy in March during the Democratic primaries. "We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye," Wright sermonized after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. "We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America's chickens are...

<p>Two important questions were asked at Tuesday night's presidential debate.</p> <p>Fiora from Chicago asked: "What sacrifices will you ask every American to make to help restore the American dream and to get out of the economic morass that we're now in?"</p>

Bill Ayers, former leader of the Weather Underground and domestic terrorist, still hates America, calling it “evil and racist,” and has no remorse for his views while all around him everything he believes in has collapsed in the light of reality. Ayers enlisted Barack Obama in his intrigues to use foundation grants to set up school programs to propagandize kids and social outreach schemes to influence neighborhood political campaigns. Thus, while Obama is an attractive candidate on the surface, underneath he is a creation of the discredited radical Left, the stealth weapon launched to resurrect the doctrines of a system...

Stick this on your bulletin board and send it far and wide. George Bush has been in office for 7½ years. The first six the economy was fine. In spite of the mid-2000 Clinton recession, it was even resilient enough to rebound after 9/11. A little over one year ago: 1. Consumer confidence stood at a 2½ year high; 2. Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon; 3. The unemployment rate was 4.5%. 4. The Dow Jones hit a record high—14,000 5. Americans were buying new cars, stoking the economy, taking cruises, vacationing overseas, living large! But Americans wanted change!...

Last night's debate was not a barnstormer. McCain pointed out a lot about Obama that needed saying, but it was not done in a way (IMHO) that would close the deal, and his proposals on housing certainly did not exicte the base (to the contrary they departed from the base). But here's a "fact" that the few in the MSM will consider. Sarah Palin is the "closer" in this election (and no one else, particularly not Obama or Biden). If McCain keeps her on the trail, drawing the crowds she is drawing and generating the excitement she is generating...and if...

Despite what the MSM and pollsters are indicating, conservatives across the width and breadth of this nation have reason to hope. That hope is in one Sarah Palin and the tremendous impact she is having amongst every-day Americans of almost all stripes outside of the unabashed liberal elite. Many of the people Sarah is appealing to will only be registered in one poll, the one in NOvember. Eagles up!

Imagine a scenario in which Sally Jones tells her parents about her boyfriend: "Barry has been mentored by a racist, America-hating preacher and has attended his church for the last 20 years. One of his other influences is a domestic terrorist who targeted the US Capitol and many other places. Also, Barry told me he smoked pot and crack in college. Can I marry him?" Meanwhile, imagine this second scenario... An upscale grocery store is looking to hire a store manager. Its two applicants are the following men: 1. John has been a restaurant manager for 20 years, and was...

SAO PAULO, Brazil — Maybe they should have tried "John McCain." At least eight "Barack Obamas" who borrowed the Democratic presidential candidate's name to run in Brazilian local elections lost.

TEENS PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO OBAMA... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUEQz5dltmI They're trying to hide this thing JUST LIKE the Obama children's choir. They don't want folks to see what is going on.

The public should know that ethical principles are down the drain, at least for journalists. The mainstream media has already conclusively and extensively demonstrated it doesn't let the facts on Sen. Barack Obama get in the way of their reporting and now it demonstrates it has little regard for the prohibitions against conflicts of interest. Take the case of Gwen Ifill, of PBS, who moderated the vice presidential debate. She's writing a book on The Age of Obama, scheduled for release on inauguration day, but doesn't bother to relate that to the folks setting up the debate at the Commission...

If Barack Obama is so outraged at John McCain’s involvement in the Keating Five scandal, why is John Glenn, another Keating Five member, doing surrogate work for Obama? Obama’s presidential campaign released a scathing documentary on Monday detailing McCain’s ties to the Savings and Loan crisis on the 1980’s. Five U.S. senators were named in the scandal: Sen. Alan Cranston (D.-Calif.), Sen. Dennis DeConcini (D.-Ariz.), Sen. John Glenn (D.-Ohio), Sen. John McCain (R.-Ariz.) and Sen. Donald Reigle (D-Minn.). "The Keating scandal is eerily similar to today's credit crisis, where a lack of regulation and cozy relationships between the financial industry...

John McCain has less than 30 days to shut down the concept of an Obama Presidency. He needs to start this with gloves OFF at the next debate. Senator McCain needs to prove to the American people how dangerous an Obama Presidency would be. Senator McCain needs to confront NObama once and for all. NObama needs to be confronted on all his connection points to people such as Ayers, Rev Wright and Farrakhan. NObama needs be confronted on his liberalism, his inexperience, his pro-abortionism, his lack of Military support and his severely weak concepts on the War and of his...

Recent main stream media and other pollsters have (again) played the "race card" (funny that the Obama campaign, the MSM, and the DNC are the only ones who seem to do this) by insinuating that the reason a fairly good number of democrats, particularly white democrats, may not support Barack Hussein Obama, is because he is black. Apart from the assertion itself being racist, I beg to differ. As a result of my fairly popular AUDACITY OF TRUTH and my SARAH PALIN TRUMPS OBAMA_BIDEN sites, I have spoken to many democrats via email, on forums, and some even by phone....

We seem to go round and round again these days on whether candidates have ear pieces (and these days they can be impossible to detect since some can simply be a patch or something near the ear).

Obama stuck at 60 percent of Jewish vote Ron Kampeas A new survey from the American Jewish Committee shows Barack Obama still hovering around 60 percent among Jewish voters. His big problem: the undecideds. WASHINGTON (JTA) -- Barack Obama has hit a wall of Jewish indecision. The American Jewish Committee survey published Thursday shows the Democratic presidential nominee still hovering around 60 percent among Jewish voters. His big problem: the undecideds. The U.S. senator from Illinois scored 57 percent, compared to 30 percent of respondents who said they would vote for his Republican rival, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.). That’s consistent...
