Thanks, Debs. It’s articles like this that make the web a better news source than the co-opted media. When I looked at his donors, I saw a sensitive area - black bankers and affirmative action. No wonder no one wants to touch that subject! But no matter what one thinks of affirmative action, no one should think it excuses incompetence or corruption. One has to look at the bi-party nature of these people; I first became aware when researching Ken Blackwell in Ohio. Many of these guys had already pillaged Pennsylvania, moved on to Ohio, and then were invited in to Illinois. One of them, Mark D. Lay was convicted - I have never been able to chase down all the details, but it’s been a fascinating and illuminating pursuit. Bloomberg did a story on MDL and Erie City School Board - a case of legally ripping off taxpayers that’ll make your hair stand on end. Everywhere I look, I see cases like this. I think it’s an issue, but no one wants to touch it because of the race aspect. IMO, race has little to do with it. Crime is crime.

Thanks for your writing. Thanks for helping to keep us informed.

Amazing how the DNC slants their words to sound Holy. DNC banning Lobbyist is about as believable as Obama sitting in Wrights church 20 yrs claiming not to have known Wright believed the things he proclaimed.

DNC claims they’re finished with Lobbyist but buy Super Delegates….Obama thinks it’s just criminal for Lobbyist to be in Washington so he goes to Chicago to get his lobbyist….William Ayers,Rezko,the dishonorable Rev.Wright,etc,

Forgot the Plefger pledger!

Happy days are ahead with Obama and the DNC….DUH!! Who does the DNC think believes them now?

I am also in the process of changing my party status. Until Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, to name a few, are gone I am not going to be affiliated with any party. This party is a joke anymore and I am tired of financially supporting and campaiging for these people. I have walked many miles for some of these politicians and I am done. What they did to the voters of Florida and Michigan is a disgrace and what they have done to HRC is outright horrible. I hope they can get the lobbyist to walk door to door for Obama because they will not get me to do that anymore. It is time for the koolaid drinkers to walk and take their money out of their wallets because Obama and the DNC has isolated half of their volunters,

I tried to do that, then found out I was listed as “optional” to begin with.

LOL! I have been an unafilliated for years now, and didn’t know it. So that’s why they always ask me which ballot I want.

Actually, it’s nice to have that feeling of not being attached to any party. I never was much of a joiner, and what has happened recently with the Dems is just appalling.

He’s not the Rezko I knew

He’s not the Rev. Wright I knew

Geez - he says this a lot, doesn’t he. Must be a crappy judge of character.

I sent Lou Dobbs a nice little message covering the blatant hypocrisy of the DNC’s new claim. The unemployed spouse of a lobbyist can give and it doesn’t count….yeah thats Change!

AP has become very biased, which was part of the problem, since they feed all the papers.

It really looks like the Dems are still upset over FOX declaring Bush the winner in 2000 and they want to show the GOP that two can play that game. It all seems so childish but with severe consequences.
