Santorum says McCain won him over

Another reason NOT to vote for John McCain. Rick politically was a bumbling fool.

He was also a thief. Didn't he take the school system out there for several thousand dollars to pay for a computerized "home school" program for all his kids?

I believe they were living in DC for years before it was discovered.

Isn't he a hard right religious nut? Wasn't he one of the idiots who pushed the Schiavo thing?

Scary. Very scary.

Rick Who?

No ones cares what Rick the Bible thumper thinks.

libmales are running scared

This should be the number 1 reason not to vote for McCain!

PA had the sense to get rid of this jerk, let's not start listening to him.

I'm no fan of Santorum but he has got it right this time.

This lifelong Democrat is voting Republican for the first time ever. Obama is a very poor choice and I don't care who says it, McCain is the experienced leader we need right now.

You Libs are so funny when you are stumbling and bumbling for a response to political slap!! You don't know what to do but call people names, spew hate, all the things you seem to profess you don't do!! It's is great comedy. Keep me ROTFLMAO!!

PA had the sense to get rid of this jerk, let's not start listening to him maybe he will get his buddy denaples to throw a few bucks to McCain

This is so odd. Did McCain really need to sure up the conservatives? Would they ever vote for Obama? The independent, undecideds will ultimately determine this election. McCain's choice of Palin makes it easy for us. The Center will go to Obama now. Bad choice McCain, you had me.

WWIII with McCain.

It is so sad to see what the extreme right has managed to do once again to the party. John McCain used to stand for so many things that were right about our party. He stood up to the Viet cong but has given in to the extremists in the party who used to beat him up politically. This is HIS party now, he should make something new out of it, at least that's what I have been hoping for since he ran for president in 2000. What happened to my McCain??? I barely recognize him. This article should be saying Santorum and his "my way or the highway" guys won over John McCain not the other way around. It's such a shame; McCain could have been one of the good ones!

“Birds of a feather, flock together.”

“The Chickens are coming home to roost.”

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better. Just when you thought the height of lies, deception and corruption had been achieved. Along comes another tie to Tony Rezko and crime and corruption in Chicago and Illinois. We have a balanced ticket in Obama and Biden. They both have ties to Tony Rezko and Joseph Cari.

ABC News has a new article about Joe Biden and his ties to Joseph Cari and Tony rezko. Here are some exerpts from the article:

“Biden Tied to Rezko Fraud Figure
Vice-Presidential Candidate’s Former Campaign Advisor and Fundraiser Aided Kickback Scheme
By JUSTIN ROOD
August 25, 2008

Barack Obama’s vice-presidential pick complicates the Democratic hopeful’s efforts to distance himself from a far-reaching Chicago patronage scandal.

Vice-presidential candidate Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del.(left), has been advised since 1984 by Joseph Cari (right), the Chicago lawyer and onetime mega-fundraiser who has been tied to the Antoin “Tony” Rezko patronage scandal.”

“Chicago lawyer and onetime mega-fundraiser Joseph Cari has advised Biden and his campaigns on and off since 1984, serving in posts as varied as a Senate adviser on crime to the Midwest Political Director for Biden’s aborted 1987 presidential bid. In 2005 Cari helped arrange private meetings for Biden with potential supporters, as the senator explored another run for the White House. He has also worked to raise money for Biden .“

“Cari admitted that in 2004 he helped a Rezko associate by making calls in what turned out to be a kickback scheme. The deal was an offshoot of a complex corruption scheme wrought by Antoin “Tony” Rezko , whose ties to Obama have vexed the White House hopeful . Cari has maintained he did not know the details of that scheme or any other.

Cari’s sentencing is delayed while he cooperates with the investigation. He testified at Rezko’s trial earlier this year, in which a jury found Rezko guilty on 16 of 24 corruption-related felony charges. Obama, who entered into a complex real estate transaction with Rezko and his wife in 2005 that appeared to aid the senator, has returned nearly $150,000 in donations he received from Rezko and his associates over the years.”

Another really great reason for not having McCain.

Biden Clan Tied To Hedge Fund Suit
While Senator Biden shares center stage at the DNC, his family is in court battling over hedge fund dealings gone awry.

By Gerelyn Terzo

August 26, 2008

In what appears to be a case of,‘He said, he said,’ the brother and son of Senator Joe Biden of Delaware, the vice presidential choice for US presidential candidate Barack Obama, are caught up in lawsuits tied to their hedge fund dealings, according to a recent story in the Washington Post.

Senator Biden himself blamed a lack of transparency in the hedge fund and private equity pockets of the economy for sending the credit markets reeling in an interview with George Stephanopoulos last year. "They are the ones that are causing this thing to go under. And there's no...accountability. We don't know how deep this problem is. It's almost as deep in terms of dollars, not liability, as the savings and loan crisis," said Senator Biden on a special edition of This Week With George Stephanopoulos last August 19th.

Hunter and James Biden, the son and brother of the Senator, respectively, have been accused of fraudulent behavior with regards to a hedge fund the pair operated with another partner. The case has been unfolding before the New York State Supreme Court since 2007, while a second lawsuit was filed in June of this year.

Anthony Lotito, the former partner of the fund, which is dubbed Paradigm Companies, filed the first of the lawsuits and is accusing the Biden’s of swindling him out of millions of dollars and his share of the company in a corrupt deal.

The deal in question is tied to a company called LLB Holdings USA, which was created by Lotito and the Bidens and in which the partners paid some $21.3 million for a controlling interest in Paradigm. Lotito claims that there was a subsequent “secret” deal in which the Bidens, after they bought out his interest in Paradigm for an alleged low rate and at his concession, created yet another company.

The Biden’s maintain instead they were the victims of fraud by Lotito, whom they claim misrepresented his credentials in the hedge-fund industry. According to reports, Lotito lied about being a fully licensed, and accredited securities professional. They also blame Lotito for their part in hiring of a lawyer with a history of felony convictions.

The earlier lawsuit filed by Lotito alleges that Hunter Biden was hired as Paradigm’s president in 2006 solely to keep him away from lobbying activities, which allegedly the Senator feared would have interfered with his forthcoming presidential bid, according to the Washington Post story.

In the second lawsuit filed in June, Stephane Farouze is suing the Biden pair for $10 million for allegedly promising to buy him out of the hedge fund but failing to do so. Farouze currently runs fund derivatives structuring and origination at
Deutsche Bank.
