Mike Rivero wrote, in response to this news story, Obama: Debt Could Fuel 'Double-Dip Recession', "The two previous central banks nearly destroyed the USA. Why did our government authorize a third one?"
Now, let's just be clear..."our government" never authorized a third bank...this was a clandestine maneuver conducted by some quisling representatives, signed off on by then-President Woodrow Wilson. Mike has, authored by some other personage, the whole history of the establishment of central banks, and their dissolution by persons with integrity and the need to right the wrongs perpetrated against our august nation.
Ron Paul has called for an audit of the Federal Reserve, a move I feel is long overdue; of course, the "powers-that-be" are resisting such efforts. Now, think about that, and also, ponder the stories you're hearing about gold-plated bars of tungsten being found in our gold supply...and you should be more than a little disturbed in regards to what is going on in the background. Read America's Journey's latest entry to see the problem WE THE PEOPLE are experiencing since the various bits of scumbaggery perpetrated against us.
Do you want to see a day when our economy is equal to Mexico's? I do NOT.
So...Americans...you mission is this: vote out ANYONE and EVERYONE who does not have the best interests of America as their 1st, 2nd and LAST priorities.

Thanks to Uncle Sam (472250938) Darla 4 RON PAUL (73060206) & Dreamer (50584125)
By Sudeep Reddy
Rep. Ron Paul usually stands far outside the mainstream in Congress, particularly in his campaign to kill the Federal Reserve. But the Texas Republican now has the bulk of his colleagues standing alongside him in a fight against the central bank’s autonomy.
His bill to audit the Fed, just three pages long, has 274 co-sponsors — every House Republican and almost 100 Democrats — and counting. “People are upset,” he says. “People are demanding more transparency of the Fed, and they’re supporting me on this.”
The longtime Fed critic would prefer an economy without a central bank, where the market sets interest rates and troubled firms are left to sink. He blames the Fed for the past century’s financial bubbles and worries about its ability to monetize debt to finance government spending, even though Fed officials insist they’d never allow it.
Mr. Paul sees transparency as a first step in making the public more aware of the Fed’s ability to electronically print money to support the banking system. The revelations from an audit will “expose to the American people exactly how the Federal Reserve operates,” he says. “Because when they fully understand how they operate, what they do, how they manipulate monetary policy and interest rates, they will finally figure out that it’s the Fed that has caused all the mischief.”
Most of the lawmakers who have signed on as co-sponsors of the legislation don’t share Mr. Paul’s anti-Fed stance. They say Congress has an oversight role and needs a full accounting of how much money the Fed has lent — and to whom.
Some lawmakers signed up as an expression of disapproval after learning more about the Fed’s decisions to lend money to firms such as AIG. Many others say greater scrutiny is critical before any discussion of expanding the Fed’s authority in other areas, as the Obama administration proposes. “Bringing transparency and accountability to the Federal Reserve through an audit will help ensure that tax dollars are not wasted,” said Rep. John Boehner of Ohio, the House’s top Republican.
Rep. Brad Sherman, a California Democrat, says none of the Depression-era lawmakers who gave the Fed its power to lend to non-financial institutions “ever thought it would involve trillions of dollars.” He said the Fed system’s unique structure, with private officials leading the regional Fed banks, also needs a review by congressional auditors. “Anyone exercising governmental power should be subjected to governmental oversight.”
Even lawmakers who are less eager to sign on acknowledge the momentum. If the Fed gets added responsibilities, “there wouldn’t be any question in my mind that a bill would be passed,” said Rep. Paul Kanjorski, a senior Democrat who has not taken a position on the legislation. “They would have to buy into much more regular audit control of the Fed.”
Mr. Paul recognizes that his movement to audit the central bank ultimately may help the Obama administration expand the Fed’s oversight role in the economy.
“I think what they’ll do is they’ll give in to some of the transparency at the same time they’ll give them more power,” Mr. Paul said. “We’re going to be bugging you a lot more. We’re going to be keeping eyes on you. That might be the way. Maybe inadvertently I’ll help them get more power at the Fed.”

LKL - An Interesting Debate
Amazingly, Stephen Baldwin is the voice of prohibition here, after starring in both Biodome and Half Baked. He uses the same non-argument of marijuana being a "gateway drug", but Ron Paul knocks the wind out of his sails by showing nicotine to be a much more pernicious and more addictive substance, which does NOT purport to be a "gateway" to other substances.
Of course, the Congressman is correct; this is about PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY.
I just watched HIV=AIDS: Fact Or Fraud, which was brought to my attention by disinter.
It's a two hour presentation...I awoke at five in the morning, and had saved the link. If you go to the page, you'll see that there are as of my posting, 31 comments. Some of the commenters simply did not watch the film, and instead want it to be boiled down to a ten-second sound byte.
Thank you, Distraction Media, for assisting in the dumbing-down of America. I'll surmise here that the same individual would sit through an entire season of American Idol and not complain once (I'm watching it, so this is not just an off-the-cuff criticism).
This is real life, dear readers - it can't be boiled down to fit the non-attention span of the uncritical.
Back in 2002, I had read about Peter Duesberg and his hypotheses regarding the nature of HIV, AIDS and the various problems with their conflation. It was great to see that had not given up on this tack; rather, the fact of people having their funds rescinded for daring to go against the status quo only strengthens his arguments.

Send A Rope to a SCUMBAG; Ron Paul Speaks
As indicated...DON'T put a bloody return address. One would think this to be obvious...but considering the woman who successfully sued McDonald's for spilling HOT COFFEE on her crotch...I think it's safer to actually SPELL THIS OUT.
The REAL Reason for Gas prices being What They Are
Now from someone who tells it like it is...
IF YOU DON'T READ THIS YOU'LL WISH YOU HAD
Ron Paul is the Brain.. WE are the Brawn!
Date: Jul 30, 2008 3:43 PM
Ron Paul mentions "Waco :Rules of Engagement", which shows the government machine gunning its citizens on FLIR.. He was attacked for this.
If you have never seen it...watch it...and then you know what to expect.
Read his latest letter...and watch the movie at the bottom.
QUITE POSSIBLY THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT YOU WILL EVER READ ABOUT AMERICAN POLITICS.
A MESSAGE FROM RON PAUL, TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
"The other day, I made a huge "gaffe" on national TV: I told the truth about the crimes of the U.S. government.
As you can imagine, the ceiling fell in, and a couple of walls too. Congressmen are supposed to support the government, I was told, "Oh, it's okay to criticize around the edges, but there are certain subjects a member of the House of Representatives is not supposed to bring up." But I touched the real "third-rail" of American politics, and the sparks sure flew! I was interviewed on C-SPAN's morning "Washington Journal," and I used the opportunity, as I do all such media appearances, to point out how many of our liberties have been stolen by the federal government. We must take them back. The Constitution, after all, has a very limited role for Washington, D.C. If we stuck to the Constitution as written, we would have:
No federal meddling in our schools;
No Federal Reserve; no U.S. membership in the UN; no gun control;
No foreign aid.
No welfare for big corporations, or the "poor";
No American troops in 100 foreign countries;
No NAFTA, GATT, or "fast-track";
No arrogant federal judges usurping states rights;
No attacks on private property;
And no income tax.
We could get rid of most of the cabinet departments, most of the agencies, and most of the budget. The government would be small, frugal, and limited. That system is called liberty. It's what the Founding Fathers gave us. Under liberty, we built the greatest, freest, most prosperous, most decent country on earth. It's no coincidence that the monstrous growth of the federal government has been accompanied by a sickening decline in living standards and moral standards. The feds want us to be hamsters on a treadmill--working hard, all day long, to pay high taxes, but otherwise entirely docile and controlled. The huge, expensive, and out-of-control leviathan that we call the federal government wants to run every single aspect of our lives.
Well, I'm sorry, but that's not America. It's not what the Founders gave us. It's not the country you believe in. It's not the country I believe in. So, on that TV interview, I emphasized not only the attacks on our property, but also the decline of our civil liberties, at the hands of the federal police. There are not supposed to be any federal police, according to the Constitution. Then I really went over the line. I talked about the Waco massacre. Bill Clinton and Janet Reno claim those 81 church members, including 19 children, burned down their own church and killed themselves, and good riddance. So they put few survivors on trial, and threw them in prison for 40 years. We're not supposed to remember that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms--talk about an unconstitutional agency--rather than arrest David Koresh on his regular morning jog, called in the TV stations for big publicity bonanza, and sent a swat team in black masks and black uniforms to break down his front door, guns blazing. They also sent in a helicopter gunship, to shoot at the roof of a church full of innocents. The Branch Davidians resisted, and after a heartless siege of almost two months, and after cutting off food, water, and electricity, and playing horrible rock and roll through huge speakers 24 hours a day, the feds sent in the tanks to crush the walls of the church, and inject poisonous CS gas. Now, CS gas is banned under the Paris Convention on Chemical Warfare. The U.S. could not use it in a war. But it could and did use it against American civilians. After the tanks did their work on the church, the place burst into flame, and all 81 people--men, women, children, and babies - were incinerated in a screaming horror. Did some feds set the fire? Did the flammable CS gas ignite, since without electricity, the parishioners were using lanterns? Did a tank knock over a lantern, striking one of the bales of hay being used against the thin walls as a "defense" against bullets? Or did the Davidians, as Clinton and Reno claim, kill themselves? A new documentary - Waco: The Rules of Engagement- may show, through FLIR infrared photography, FBI snipers killing the Davidians by shooting through the back of the church, where no media cameras were allowed. This film won a prize at the famed Sundance Film Festival. It was made by people who took the government's side, until they investigated. Whatever the truth, there's no question that an irresponsible federal government has innocent blood on its hands, and not only from Waco. And the refusal of corrupt and perverse liberals to admit it means nothing. In my r~interview, in answer to a caller's question, I pointed out that Waco, and the federal murders at Ruby Ridge - especially the FBI sniper's shot that blasted apart the head of a young mother holding her baby - caused many Americans to live in fear of federal power. Then I uttered the sentiment that caused the media hysteria: I said that a lot of Americans fear that they too might be attacked by federal swat teams for exercising their constitutional rights, or merely for wanting to be left alone.
Whoa!
You've never seen anything like it. For days, in an all-out assault, I was attacked by Democrats, unions, big business, establishment Republicans, and - of course - the media, in Washington and my home state of Texas. Newspapers foamed at the mouth, calling me a "right-wing extremist." (Say, isn't that what George III called Thomas Jefferson?) I was even blamed for the Oklahoma City bombing! And by the way, I don't believe we've gotten the full truth on that either. All my many opponents were outraged that a Congressman would criticize big government. "If you don't like Washington, resign!" said a typical big-city newspaper editorial. But the media, as usual, were all wet. (Do they ever get anything right?) The average Congressman may go to Washington to wallow in power, and line his pockets with a big lobbying job for a special interest (so he can keep ripping-off the taxpayers). But that's not why I'm in Congress. It's not why I left my medical practice as a physician. It's not why I put up with all the abuse. It's not why I refuse a plush Congressional pension.
I'm in this fight for a reason. I want to hand on to my children and grandchildren, and to you and your family, a great and free America, an America true to her Constitution, an America worthy of her history. I will not let the crooks and clowns and criminals have their way.
I'm in Congress to represent the ideas of liberty, the ideas that you and I share, for the people of my district, for the people of Texas, for the people of America. That's why I'm working to stop federal abuses, and to cut the government: its taxes, its bureaucrats, its paramilitary police, its spending, its meddling overseas, and every single unconstitutional action it takes. And not with a pair of nail scissors, but with a hammer and chisel. Won't you help me do this work?
Not much of the federal leviathan would be left, if I had my way. But you'd be able to keep the money you earn, your privacy would be secure, your dollar would be sound, your local school would be tops, and your kids wouldn't be sent off to some useless or vicious foreign war to fight for the UN. But Jefferson and the other Founders would recognize our government, and our descendants would bless us. By the way, when I say cut taxes, I don't mean fiddle with the code; I mean abolish the income tax and the IRS, and replace them with nothing. Recently, I asked a famous Republican committee chairman - who's always talking about getting rid of IRS - why he engineered a secret $580 million raise for the tax collectors. "They need it for their computers," this guy told me. So the IRS can't extract enough from us as it is! The National Taxpayers Union says I have the highest pro-taxpayer rating in Congressional history, that I am the top "Taxpayer's Best Friend." You know I won't play the Capitol Hill games with the Capitol Hill gang, denouncing the IRS while giving the Gestapo more of your money. Or figuring out some other federal tax for them to squeeze out of you. I also want to abolish the Federal Reserve, and send Alan Greenspan out to get a job. The value of our dollar and the level of our interest rates are not supposed to be manipulated by a few members of the power elite meeting secretly in a marble palace. The Federal Reserve is unconstitutional, pure and simple. The only Constitutional money is gold and silver, not notes redeemable in them. Not fed funny money. Without the Federal Reserve, our money could not be inflated at the behest of big government or big banks. Your income and savings would not lose their value. Just as important, we wouldn't have this endless string of booms and busts, recessions and depressions, with each bust getting worse. They aren't natural to the free market; they're caused by the schemers at the Fed. President Andrew Jackson called the 19th-century Fed "The Monster" because it was a vehicle for inflation and all sorts of special-interest corruption. Let me tell you, things haven't changed a bit.
I also work to save our schools from D.C. interference. Thanks to the feds, new curriculums not only smear the Founders as "racist, slave-owning elitists," they seek to dumb down our students so they will all be equal. "Look-say" reading and the abolition of phonics has the same purpose, and so does the new "fuzzy" math, in which there are no right and no wrong answers. That must be what they use in the U.S. Treasury! It's certainly what they use in the U.S. Congress. But ever since the beginning of federal aid to education and accelerating with the establishment of the rotten Department of Education, SAT scores have been dropping. Schools, with few exceptions, are getting worse every year. To save our kids, we must get the sticky fingers of the feds off our local schools, and let parents rule. That's what the Constitution says, and the Bible too.
And then there's my least favorite topic, the United Nations. World government is obviously unconstitutional. It undermines our country's sovereignty in the worst way possible. That's why I want us out of the UN, and the UN itself taking a hike. After all, the UN is socialist and corrupt (many votes can be bought with a "blonde and a case of scotch," one UN ambassador once said). It costs many billions, and it puts our soldiers in UN uniforms under foreign commanders, and sends them off to unconstitutional, undeclared wars. When Michael New, one of the finest young men I've ever met, objected to wearing UN blue, he was kicked out of the American Army. What an outrage! Not one dime for the UN, and not one American soldier! Not in Haiti, not in Bosnia, not in Somalia, not in Rwanda. I know its radical, but how about devoting American military efforts to defending America, and only America? Such ideas, said one newspaper reporter, make me a maverick who will never go far because he won't go along to get along.. Darn right! What does "go far" mean? Get a big government job? To heck with that!
And I won't sell my vote for pork either. When I walked through the U.S. Capitol this morning, I got angry. The building is filled with statues and painting of Jefferson, Madison, and the other Founders. Those great men sacrificed everything to give us a free country, and a Constitution to keep it that way. When I was first elected, I placed my hand on the Bible and swore an oath to uphold the Constitution. That's exactly what I'm fighting for. But such ideas drive the liberals crazy. That's why I badly need your help. I've been targeted nationally for defeat. The Democrats, the AFL-CIO, the teachers union, big business PACs, the trial lawyers, the big bankers, the foreign-aid lobbyists, the big media, and the establishment Republicans want to dance on my political grave. The Fed, the Education Department, and the UN are anxious to join in. They can't stand even one person telling the truth. And they're terrified when that truth gains the people's support. Right now, four well-funded Democrats are competing to try to beat me, and a Republican is rumored to have been offered money at a secret meeting in Mexico(!) if he would try to knock me off in a primary.
Join this fight for the Constitution, and stop those who want to rip it up, and throw it in the Potomac
Together, we can join the Founders' fight. We can make history.
Sincerely, Ron Paul U. S. Congressman

FAN Bulletin #981: Early warnings of new mandatory fluoridation efforts
July 2, 2008
Dear hANOVER fIST,
Early warning for readers in Massachussetts, Maine and New Hampshire. We heard yesterday that fluoridation promoters are making moves which look like a bid to introduce mandatory fluoridation in Massachusetts, Maine and New Hampshire in one giant move. If you live in one of these states and would like to help prevent this, please email us at paul@fluoridealert.org. Let us know if you want to:
1. be involved in an effort to fight this off
2. take on an organizing role.
Once we have all the email addresses we will put you in contact with one another. To be forewarned is to be forearmed. A little effort now is much better than the heartache further down the road. We do not want to be playing catch-up as we have had to do in Louisiana.
Early warning from Arkansas: Newspaper Ads are already appearing in the Arkansas newspapers with the moronic slogan "Got teeth, get fluoride" clearly the preliminary move to introduce a mandatory bill in that state in 2009. What is troubling about these ads is that they are being funded by the State health department and the CDC. Is this legal?
If you want to be part of the team to get organized to defeat this effort in Arkansas please contact Crystal Harvey at crystalthepink@gmail.com. Please copy us so that we can keep track of this state team as it grows.
Louisiana update: Governor Jindal has yet to sign into law or veto the mandatory fluoridation bill (SB 312). There is still a glimmer of hope here, especially after he vetoed the "pay raise" bill. The bill has to be signed or vetoed by July 14. If you have not done so yet please send in our latest ONLINE message to him and get as many others to do the same. To sign the message go to http://la3.fluoridealert.org

This "must see" documentary proves that the U.S. government---including the FBI and DOJ---are totally corrupt and involved in serious felony crime and the outrageous cover-up of truth concerning the mysterious crash of TWA Flight 800 on July 17, 1996. As the viewers of this documentary will see, Flight 800 was actually destroyed by a surface-to-air missile. Every allegation made in this film is backed up with facts - none more dramatic than those that come from the Federal government itself. You'll learn what the 736 official eyewitnesses actually saw; why aviators reject the CIA "cartoon" explanation; how the Feds feloniously suppressed reporting; the critical witness drawings; the rigged NTSB hearings; the damning radar data and documentation; the altered physical evidence; undeniable proof of explosive residue proving a missile strike; the stinging report from the machinist union; and much more! http://www.free10dvds.com

That's not from the peace movement - it's from the National Defense University, written by a senior Pentagon official who served under Donald Rumsfeld.
Yet despite the overwhelming opposition of the American people, Speaker Pelosi plans to rush a vote through Congress for another $178 billion blank check.

Torture News Strike
After George Bush told ABC News he personally approved of the approval of torture - including waterboarding - you'd think the story would be front page news, not just on Countdown and The Daily Show.
But you'd be wrong. There has been absolutely no news coverage and just a handful of editorials in the Brattleboro (Vt.) Reformer, Kansas City Star, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, and Tuscaloosa (Ala.) News.
If your newspaper is missing, help us organize a Torture News Strike.
http://www.democrats.com/torture-news-strike
Call your newspaper editor and tell him/her you are suspending your subscription until they give Bush's torture confession the serious coverage it deserves in the news or editorial sections, or preferably both. Then call the circulation department and tell them to suspend delivery until further notice.
And post about it with your neighbors here:

Torture Impeachment Petition Collects 35,000 Signatures!
One week ago, we asked you to sign our petition to Congress to impeach Bush and Cheney for approving torture.
Your response was incredible! In just one week, we delivered 35,000 signatures to our Representatives and Senators!
If you haven't yet signed, please visit:

Dr. Martin Luther King famously said of the Vietnam War, "A time comes when silence is betrayal." When our President and Vice President personally approve torture, that time is now.

Quotes
“One hundred nations in the UN have not agreed with us on just about everything that’s come before them, where we’re involved, and it didn’t upset my breakfast at all.
–Ronald Reagan, on the international reaction to the U.S. invasion of Grenada, November 3, 1983
The above quote just about summed up The Great Communicator’s take on pegging U.S. foreign policy to international approval rates.
Liberals take a different view. Seemingly, liberals equate international approval –especially by the Europeans–with the worthiness of a U.S. foreign policy goal.
What would American foreign policy look like under Democrats/liberals? Forget about Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, the last two Democrat presidents, and let them tell it in their own words.
Twenty liberal quotes about the United States and other countries.
“There was no imminent threat. This was made up in Texas, announced in January to the Republican leadership that war was going to take place and was going to be good politically. This whole thing was a fraud.
–Edward Kennedy, Democrat Senator, MA. Kennedy also said “We’ve known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeing and developing weapons of mass destruction.” September 27, 2002.
“The greatest crime since World War II has been U.S. foreign policy.

–Barack Obama, Democrat presidential candidate, March 19, 2008
“I believe … that this war is lost, and this surge is not accomplishing anything, as is shown by the extreme violence in Iraq this week.
–Harry Reid, Democrat Senate Majority Leader, April 18 2007

–Michael Moore
“He’s (Osama bin Laden) been out in these countries for decades, building schools, building roads, building infrastructure, building day-care facilities, building health-care facilities, and these people are extremely grateful. We haven’t done that.
–Patty Murray- Democratic Senator Washington (speech to a high school honors class)
“Republicans are men of narrow vision, who are afraid of the future.
–Jimmy Carter. Carter inaugurated full diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China in 1979, thus cutting formal U. S. ties with the Nationalist Chinese government on Taiwan. Conservatives severely criticized the treaties as a “sellout” of vital American interests.
“He betrayed this country! He played on our fears! He took America on an ill-conceived foreign adventure dangerous to our troops, an adventure pre-ordained and planned before 9/11 ever took place!”

–Nancy Pelosi, Democrat House Leader, September 24, 2004
“In two short years, George W. Bush has taught us what the ‘W’ stands for — wrong. Wrong for our children, wrong for our parents, wrong for our values. Wrong, wrong, wrong for America.
John Edwards- Democratic Senator North Carolina (February 23, 2003 )
“Our paradigm now seems to be: something terrible happened to us on September 11, and that gives us the right to interpret all future events in a way that everyone else in the world must agree with us. And if they don’t, they can go straight to hell.

–Woody Harrelson. Actor Harrelson played a colonel in the movie, Pinkville.
“Bush says you’re either with us or against us. I don’t know who ‘us’ is. I say to Mr. Bush—this is what democracy looks like. We will not give our daughters and sons for a war for oil.

That’s the way liberal foreign policy would work.
The reader might want to print this out for quick reference.
One last well-known quote by Ronald Reagan sums up conservative reaction to the above collection:
“The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant: It’s just that they know so much that isn’t so."
_________________________________________________________________________
Okay...that's it for the quotes. Let's talk about some important stuff.
We The People do not like what our "representatives" are doing. For one, they are NOT representing WE THE PEOPLE in any way. They are in office, it seems, for their own benefit.
Here's a litany of HRC's lies to you and I, by Dick Morris.
Hillary's List of Lies
By Dick Morris
The USA Today/Gallup survey clearly explains why Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) is losing. Asked whether the candidates were "honest and trustworthy," Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) won with 67 percent, with Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) right behind him at 63. Hillary scored only 44 percent, the lowest rating for any candidate for any attribute in the poll.
Hillary simply cannot tell the truth. Here's her scorecard:
Admitted Lies
• Chelsea was jogging around the Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. (She was in bed watching it on TV.)
• Hillary was named after Sir Edmund Hillary. (She admitted she was wrong. He climbed Mt. Everest five years after her birth.)
• She was under sniper fire in Bosnia. (A girl presented her with flowers at the foot of the ramp.)
• She learned in The Wall Street Journal how to make a killing in the futures market. (It didn't cover the market back then.)
Whoppers She Won't Confess To
• She didn't know about the FALN pardons.
• She didn't know that her brothers were being paid to get pardons that Clinton granted.
• Taking the White House gifts was a clerical error.
• She didn't know that her staff would fire the travel office staff after she told them to do so.
• She didn't know that the Peter Paul fundraiser in Hollywood in 2000 cost $700,000 more than she reported it had.
• She opposed NAFTA at the time.
• She was instrumental in the Irish peace process.
• She urged Bill to intervene in Rwanda.
• She played a role in the '90s economic recovery.
• The billing records showed up on their own.
• She thought Bill was innocent when the Monica scandal broke.
• She was always a Yankees fan.
• She had nothing to do with the New Square Hasidic pardons (after they voted for her 1,400-12 and she attended a meeting at the White House about the pardons).
• She negotiated for the release of refugees in Macedonia (who were released the day before she got there).
With a record like that, is it any wonder that we suspect her of being less than honest and straightforward?
Why has McCain jumped out to a nine-point lead over Obama and a seven-point lead over Hillary in the latest Rasmussen poll? OK, Obama has had the Rev. Wright mess on his hands. And Hillary has come in for her share of negatives, like the Richardson endorsement of Obama and the denouement of her latest lie -- that she endured sniper fire during a trip to Bosnia. But why has McCain gained so much in so short a period of time? Most polls had the general election tied two weeks ago.
McCain's virtues require a contrast in order to stand out. His strength, integrity, solidity and dependability all are essentially passive virtues, which shine only by contrast with others. Now that Obama and Hillary are offering images that are much weaker, less honest, and less solid and dependable, good old John McCain looks that much better as he tours Iraq and Israel while the Democrats rip one another apart.
It took Nixon for us to appreciate Jimmy Carter's simple honesty. It took Clinton and Monica for us to value George W. Bush's personal character. And it takes the unseemly battle among the Democrats for us to give John McCain his due.
When Obama faces McCain in the general election (not if but when) the legacy of the Wright scandal will not be to question Obama's patriotism or love of America. It will be to ask if he has the right stuff (pardon the pun).
The largest gap between McCain and Obama in the most recent USA Today/Gallup Poll was on the trait of leadership. Asked if each man was a "strong, decisive leader," 69 percent felt that the description fit McCain while only 56 percent thought it would apply to Obama. (61 percent said it of Hillary.) Obama has looked weak handling the Rev. Wright controversy. His labored explanation of why he attacks the sin but loves the sinner comes across as elegant but, at the same time, feeble. Obama's reluctance to trade punches with his opponents makes us wonder if he could trade them with bin Laden or Ahmadinejad. We have no doubt that McCain would gladly come to blows and would represent us well, but about Obama we are not so sure.

Ron Paul is doing another fund-raising effort - see next.
This is a critical time for our country… Ron Paul is our beacon and he needs more support in Congress to make real change.
Such support will come from a leader with integrity such as Steven Vasquez, an MBA (RPI), entrepreneur (successful tech business called ReQuest), and a key member in the NY Ron Paul grassroot movement that helped lead to over 7% in the Super Tuesday primary, with no major media or national campaign support. Two of his top priorities are scaling back our military presence overseas and reducing wasteful spending. Steven is running in the NY 21st District and has one of the best chances of winning among the 40 Ron Paul Republicans. The incumbent is retiring this year, leaving an open seat (98% of the time the incumbent wins). Steven took up Ron Paul’s calling to run locally and will make the hard choices to protect our country and our liberties.
Steven needs your help to win this race. He needs over $200,000 to run a winning campaign. The Ron Paul movement is just getting started! Follow these 4 steps towards freedom… remember, that this one step to initiate hope, multiplied by many, leads to change:
1. Please visit http://www.steven2008.com and donate at least $75, $21, or $10.

Just in case you are wondering, here are my choices for who SHOULD be running for President of the United States of America:

Mike Gravel lays down the law!

Pelosi Plans $178 Billion Blank Check for Iraq
"Measured in blood and treasure, the war in Iraq has achieved the status of a major war and a major debacle."
That's not from the peace movement - it's from the National Defense University, written by a senior Pentagon official who served under Donald Rumsfeld.
Yet despite the overwhelming opposition of the American people, Speaker Pelosi plans to rush a vote through Congress for another $178 billion blank check.
We must stop this madness. Tell Congress: No More Funds for Iraq

Activists around the country are organizing Iraq Town Halls so we can speak directly to our Representatives:
http://www.democrats.com/iraq-town-halls
Unfortunately most Representatives are afraid to face us at our Town Halls, so we're organizing May Day Protests outside their District Offices on Thursday, May 1 at noon.
May 1 is the original Labor Day, and several unions are going on strike to protest the Iraq War. It's also "Mission Accomplished Day" (2003) and "Downing Street Minutes Day" (2005). Can you join us?
