Barack Obama and his Battle Plan Could Win Him the Election

After looking at some polls, it’s going to be interesting to see just how this 50 state battle for votes is going to pan out.

He has no intention of winning in very red states.? He knows that he cannot win in them, but is going to spend money anyways.? By doing this, John McCain will have to spend money in those states as well.? The less money that McCain has for…

Channel 4 pays 150,000 to free film maker from terrorists

Channel 4 paid a 150,000 ransom to secure the release of a documentary film maker who was held hostage for three months after trying to make contact with Al-Qaedas second in command. Sean Langan, 43, was held by criminals linked to the Taliban at a terrorist training camp in a lawless border region of Pakistan.
His kidnappers threatened to sh

John McCain Gives 18-Minute Phone Speech to Nobody

It’s official… Mr Mago…err John McCain is officially senile. He reportedly gave an 18-minute speech over the phone to no one on the other end. That or he’s some sort of ultra-luddite who is afraid of those cordless instant audio telegraphs.

In days gone by, politicians could issue mutually-contradictory messages with near impunity as the mainstream media rarely would double-check the historical record. Now, with video on line and millions of fact-checkers scrutinizing…

Brussels to sign away your private details to US

American authorities will be able to obtain greater access to private information such as credit card transactions, internet browsing habits and travel histories of people in Britain under a deal being finalised by European Union officials.

The US are infamous for illegally using their intelligence services against legitimate competition; i.e EU defence companies,telecoms, aviation,biotech - and most recently internet betting companies. I guarantee they'll use these powers in…

Video: IRAQI CIVILIANS MASSACRED BY AMERICAN SOLDIERS

an American helicopter nearby opened fire on the vehicles. As the vehicles were hit, the drivers attempted to seek cover, but both vehicles were repeatedly shot and disabled. The helicopter landed but instead of assisting those shot and needing medical help, the American soldiers killed any survivors & then wrote numbers on the foreheads of some.

A Novel Defense for McCains Policy Reversals

Yesterday, Cohen added a little substance to the claim. McCain may be a flip-flopper, but thats fine, Cohen argues, because hes also a former prisoner of war. Seriously.

I agree, America “owes” McCain NOTHING, especially the presidency, for his years in a POW camp. I’m sure it was a scary environment where he had no control over what was happening to him and suffered painful injury…

McCain Adviser May Have Struck a Nerve

Sen. Barack Obama and his surrogates continued to criticize Charles R. Black Jr., a top adviser to Sen. John McCain, on Tuesday for saying a terrorist attack before the November election would help the presumptive Republican nominee. But behind their protests lay a question that has dogged Democrats since Sept. 11, 2001: Was Black speaking the trut

Black's comment to Fortune magazine that a terrorist attack “certainly would be a big advantage” roiled the presidential campaign for a second straight day. Obama — who has made a determined effort to shore up his…

Iran War Resolution May Be Passed Next Week

Introduced less than a month ago, Resolution 362, also known as the Iran War Resolution, could be passed by the House as early as next week.

The biggest enemy of any empire is from within. And all empires grow to a hollow shell and eventually collapse. There are only two reasons this empire has even lasted this long. One is that in most wars it has picked an enemy that was either too…

The German town which scrapped all traffic lights

A small town in Germany which scrapped all its traffic lights and road signs in a bid to cut down on crashes reported yesterday that the experiment is ‘a total success’.

However, funding is an issue and the scheme is not expected to start until next year. One unexpected bonus of the trial in Bohmte is that the town is saving 5,000 a month replacing and repairing signs damaged through normal wear and tear or by…

McCain 2005: Give Gitmo Detainees A Trial Or Release Them!

Despite John McCain’s outrage last week that the Supreme Court ordered Gitmo detainees know why they were being held, or released — Political Base has stumbled upon a McCain appearance on Meet the Press in 2005 where he argued they deserved trials, going so far as to say “if it means releasing some of them, you’ll have to release them.” Shameless.

NBC News Transcripts June 19, 2005 Sunday SHOW: Meet the Press 10:00 AM EST NBC MR. RUSSERT: Let me turn to Guantanamo. In October–excuse me, December of 2003, "John McCain said he is concerned about the failure to move ahead…

2008 Federal Election Cycle Will Cost $5 Billion

So far in the 2007-2008 political cycle, the federal branches of the two major parties have raised about $725 million combined. Looking only at the candidates running for federal office, another $1,740 million has been raised. By November there is a good chance that total will double.

Or another way of putting it — why aren't there more Obamas? There were quite a few people who worked in similar places, but few had an ambition to get all the way inside politics and rise there. Any plausible candidates currently…

McCain adviser: Terrorist attack would be a big advantage’

As part of a series on The candidates and your money,? Fortune Magazine asked Senator John McCain what he perceived as the single greatest economic threat to the United States. McCains response, after several seconds of staring into the void,? was radical Islamic extremism.?

Ignoring everything you have seen and heard to brainwash you to the contrary in its aftermath, what are the odds that a man in a cave could beat all of the defenses of the United States of America by coincidentally timing his attack to coincide…

Bloomberg defends Obama from “lies”

“As Im sure many of you know, there are plenty of emails floating around the Internet targeting Jewish voters and saying that Senator Obama is secretly a Muslim, and a radical one at that. Lets call those rumors what they are: lies.” - A very long, well written piece by Mayor Bloomberg.

You might say we’ve grown up – and the younger generation has helped us do it. I’m not just talking about Jews and African-Americans. I’m talking about all of New York, the most wonderfully diverse city…

McCain opposed flood control money for Des Moines in 2007

Republican presidential candidate John McCain opposed legislation last year that included money for flood control in Des Moines, which shows he is wrong to push for reforms to the congressional earmark system, a Democratic lawmaker charged Thursday.

“The Birdland Park and Central Place levees on the Des Moines River failed during the 1993 flood event and do not provide reliable flood protection, placing nearly 200 homes and businesses at risk,” the report said.Every member of the…
