To TYT Webmaster / Producer (none / 0)
Could you please explain the difference between the spamming by the user koslo and this blog. This blog is simply a free airing of McCain campaign ads with no pretense of debate the user that posted the material always claiming that he is doing.

Whats the difference? Donations?

DITTO THAT!!!!! (none / 0)
Anyone who finds my blogs or posts unpleasant is free to ignore them.

I don't know if you've noticed, but my blogs are by far the most read, and the most commented on. I don't need mr fratz to read or participate on my blogs. We'll find a way to soldier on without him.

All I do is offer controversial topics with provocative titles, sit back, and watch the comments pour in.

Really?!?!?!?! (none / 0)
"If you start contributing, you have the right to complain."

So, people who do not contribute, cannot complain?  I guess I've been complaining for free for quite a while now.  Did I get "store credits" from the time I did contribute?  What about the people who pay a monthly fee to XM?  By virtue of the fact they are paying TYT indirectly, can they complain? 

I only stopped because GW is allowing my job to get outsourced to India and I need to save every dime I can.  When Barack gets my job back here in the US, I'll contribute again because I'll be able to afford it.

Rove's Federal Prosecutor (none / 0)

Another bogus connection by one of the federal prosecutors that Rove DIDN'T fire. These are like the crims in Alabama who invented charges to put governor Don Siegelman in prison. They're also like the ones who started a criminal investigation against Mississippi Supreme Court Justice Oliver Diaz Jr. before there was any crime. Diaz was acquitted of all bogus charges, but trial lawyer, Paul Minor, who took on big tobacco, is in jail for the "crime" of defending ordinary people against big corporations, and for being a successful Democratic fund-raiser in a state that the Republicans "owned" [kind of like the slaves they used to own].

The Illinois prosecutor has avoided bringing in witnesses against Obama, since Rezko donated equally to Republicans. Ooops. Another Republican dirty trick. No surprise.

BTW, Obama's house is about the right price for single homes in the city. Most people need mortgages to buy homes. Most people also need agents and friends to help them find good homes.

YAWN. Another non-story BLOWN UP BY KARL ROVE'S favorite appointees. It has dirty tricks written all over it in Rove's handwriting, on stolen stationery.

What is the point to this? (none / 0)
I mean, really.  There is no point.  This is the whole Republican "guilt by association" tactic that you love so much.  Must I cite the various names that McCain is associated with that have done questionable things?  How about Ralph Reed, as one of many examples?  Should Obama lower himself to the level of you cretins and put out an anti-McCain ad that includes a Photoshopped picture of McCain giving a hummer to Ralph Reed?  Or maybe Hagee?  Gimme a break.

@ KenTX time to bring up the Keating 5 (none / 0)

The Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s. The five senators, Alan Cranston (D-CA), Dennis DeConcini (D-AZ), John Glenn (D-OH), John McCain (R-AZ), and Donald W. Riegle (D-MI), were accused of improperly aiding Charles H. Keating, Jr., chairman of the failed Lincoln Savings and Loan Association, which was the target of an investigation by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board (FHLBB).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wik i/Keating_Five

 

"Moreover Lincoln's bankruptcy cost the government $3 billion. Moreover, McCain intervened partly because his wife had invested money with Lincoln chairman Charles Keating, a campaign contributor who let the McCains use his home in the Bahamas."

John McCain is truly a "Maverick"... (none / 0)
for being the only Republican member of the "Keating 5"!!!

Lets talk about what the 4 Democrats of the 5  did to us in that scandal, shall we? In a Democrat controlled Congress, no less...

Maybe its not only the Republicans who like to fuck with our money and spend time in the Bahamas...

Weak Sauce, Lib....

Robert Bennett, McCain was only guilty of “poor judgment” in the affair and Roberts brother is conservative pundit Bill Bennett…McCain is running for president based on Judgment.

Rezko Reality (none / 0)
McCain misfires as he attacks Obama's home purchase.
 
 
Summary
 
On the defensive over the extent of multiple McCain homes, the GOP candidate strikes back. But his TV spot gives an oversimplified and misleading account of how Obama bought his own $1.6 million house in Chicago.
  • The ad says Chicago power broker Tony Rezko got "political favors" including "$14 million from taxpayers." But there's no evidence of any connection to the Obama home purchase. The $14 million was to build apartments for low-income seniors. Obama wrote a letter supporting the "worthy" project, but both men say Rezko didn't ask for the letter.
  • It says Rezko "purchased part of the property [Obama] couldn't afford." Rezko's wife did buy an adjoining tract but later sold the land at a profit. Obama paid market price for his home.
McCain launched the attack after Obama ran one capitalizing on McCain's inability to recall for an interviewer how many homes the McCains own. Obama's ad says it's seven. The best tally we've seen puts the figure at eight, counting all the apartments and homes owned by McCain's wife, Cindy, and various family trusts, for themselves and their children.
