Don’t tell me the White House, Repuglicans, and Mainstream Corporate Media aren’t a “band of brothers”! Tony Snow making the rounds, [1]from “FOX NEWS to the White House to CNN,” get ready for some more “snow jobs,” and some more lies, this guy just can’t help himself!

Memo to CNN: If I wanted to watch radical right-wing bias, I’d just tune in to FOX NEWS. CNN has now joined forces with FOX and earned the title of “boob tube” by hiring Tony Snow! [2] America didn’t really need another Repuglican radical right opinion; in fact this country is in the mess we find ourselves in today because the Repuglican ideology of greed and power has invaded our government and destroyed American democracy!

“Really? … didn't Sen. Clinton's camp spend like a month complaining that the press, particularly debate questioners were being harder on her than Obama? [3] She even complained about it during one of the debates.” Obviously, Hillary Clinton would rather complain about “the heat”!

As I listen to the promises Hillary Clinton is making during her campaign, I have to wonder why in the 8 years she and her husband were in the White House, why didn’t they enact all these good things then? Oh, I forget, they couldn’t get along with the Repuglicans during his time as the President; it was constant nit-picking, constant investigations, and constant battles royal! Given the tone of her campaign, one thing is for absolute sure, if she is elected -- the nit-picking, the investigations, the battles will continue and it will surely be more of the same! Smear and scandal, slime and swiftboating will be the Repuglican order of the day, and again nothing will get done in Washington, D.C.!

And I thought this was the United States of America! What’s a Confederate Flag doing on the South Lawn at the White House in celebration of the Pope’s arrival??? [4] Who is the nincompoop that came up with that???

* * *

So much for the war on terror! “Recruits were allowed to enlist after having been convicted of crimes including assault, burglary, drug possession and making terrorist threats.” [5] This gives a whole new meaning to “going to war with the Army you have”! Who will they recruit next, Osama bin Laden???

“McCain exits campaign money race.” [6] Don’t believe it when you hear McCain will go into the national election without any money other than public funds! As usual when it comes to money schemes, the Repuglicans aren’t without a plan and/or a plot! “ [7]New McCain Fund Gets Around Donation Limits [8]… Campaign manager Rick Davis released the details of the “McCain Victory 08” fund on Friday. He said the entity is a joint committee, combining the McCain campaign, the Republican National Committee and four key states under a ‘hybrid legal structure.’ The idea is to tap donors for more than the $2,300 limit set by campaign finance laws. Under legislation pushed by McCain in his role as a senator from Arizona, an individual can donate a maximum of $2,300 to a presidential primary campaign and the same amount to the general election campaign …The new structure allows up to $70,000 in individual contributions by channeling the money into different McCain-centric funds. The first $2,300 of that would go to McCain’s primary campaign. The Republican National Committee would receive $28,500 of the donation. The remaining funds would be divided equally, up to $10,000 a piece, among four states the campaign has designated as battlegrounds for November: Wisconsin, Minnesota, Colorado and New Mexico.” And so it goes, if there’s a will to circumvent the rules, and the law, then certainly the Repugs will find a way or the candidate will enact legislation making it all possible!
