That's why I support Obama and would have supported any Dem over McCain. I signed up some time ago to donate a monthly amount to Obama. Basically when I moved to Mexico I lost a car payment. Back in April I decided to start sending him that amount. I wonder what they think when they get a monthly donation that ends with .67?

Sarah Palin hit by internet rumours over fifth child - Times Online

Sarah Palin hit by internet rumours over fifth child
Teams of Democratic operatives and investigative journalists descended on Alaska today to delve into the private and public life of Sarah Palin, the new and little-known Republican vice-presidential nominee, as fresh questions arose over whether she had been properly vetted by the John McCain campaign. ....
....If Mrs Palin, a conservative mother-of-five, ever doubted that landing on a national presidential ticket would open herself to the harshest of spotlights and smear tactics, she also awoke this morning to utterly unfounded internet rumours that her fifth child born in April with Down's Syndrome was actually her 17-year-old daughter's.
When she made her debut speech on Friday, she immediately touted her success in killing off the infamous "Bridge to Nowhere" project that had become a nationwide symbol of wasteful, pork-barrel spending that Mr McCain has made a cornerstone of his campaign.
Yet in the first unsettling revelation that the McCain camp will hope does not become a pattern, the Anchorage Daily News reported that when she ran for governor, Mrs Palin campaigned on a "build the bridge" platform. The newspaper, in a reference to John Kerry's alleged "flip-flopping" in the 2004 presidential campaign, said: "Palin was for the Bridge before she was against it." ....

Tully, I can say with great regret, you have wasted your money on supporting Obama's candidacy. I wrote this open letter (excerpts) to Obama, after he "picked" Biden, last week:
Quote:
I know it's been a long campaign, but I have to ask you, Sen. Obama, how does this recent diary's description of what you did today,
or what you did by supporting the FISA "reform", and telecomm amnesty, square with this?:

AFSCME - "I've Been to the Mountaintop" by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
...Secondly, let us keep the issues where they are. The issue is injustice. The issue is the refusal of Memphis to be fair and honest in its dealings with its public servants, who happen to be sanitation workers. Now, we've got to keep attention on that...
.... That's always the problem with a little violence. You know what happened the other day, and the press dealt only with the window-breaking. I read the articles. They very seldom got around to mentioning the fact that one thousand, three hundred sanitation workers were on strike, and that Memphis is not being fair to them, and that Mayor Loeb is in dire need of a doctor. They didn't get around to that.
Now we're going to march again, and we've got to march again, in order to put the issue where it is supposed to be. And force everybody to see that there are thirteen hundred of God's children here suffering, sometimes going hungry, going through dark and dreary nights wondering how this thing is going to come out. That's the issue. And we've got to say to the nation: we know it's coming out. For when people get caught up with that which is right and they are willing to sacrifice for it, there is no stopping point short of victory.... -Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered this speech in support of the striking sanitation workers at Mason Temple in Memphis, TN on April 3, 1968

Above are nearly the last public words that Dr. King was afforded the opportunity to say before death silenced him. Sen. Obama, would you want your legacy to be your endorsement speech of Sen. Joe Biden (D-MBNA), or perhaps your vote for the FISA "reform"/telecomm amnesty bill?
You can read about the Nazi enabling of 1940 republican candidate, Wendell Willkie, and about Richard Nixon, GHW Bush, Nelson Rockefeller, and Ronald Reagan, too. This extreme right wing sympathy from American political leaders has never been denounced, never been repudiated. In fact, right wing authors
and
have recently written enthusiastically reviewed books extolling the exact opposite of the extreme right alliance with fascism/nazism.....
Trust me, the following links and images document some pretty sordid stuff, done by past presidents and a contender for that office. You certainly haven't gone to such extreme, but you have embraced corporatism, the junior partner of fascism, both with your support of FISA/amnesty, and your decision to pick Sen. Biden as your running mate. Look how far you've moved away from the direction of Dr. King's last mission of his life.
You owe it to all Americans to describe and then repudiate the following, and firmly announce a new commitment to taking the country and it's politics in the opposite direction of it's extreme right, recent history and policy.....or what "change" can you possibly be the candidate for?
