Why did these ninety-four House members have a change of heart?” asked Daniel Newman, executive director of MAPLight.org ,“Their constituents deserve answers.”
MAPLight.org 's research department compiled PAC campaign contributions from Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint and correlated them with the voting records of all House members who voted on last week’s FISA bill.(The analysis used data from CRP; contributions were from January 2005 through March 2008). Here are the findings:
Comparing Democrats' Votes (March 14th and June 20th votes):
Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint gave PAC contributions averaging:
$8,359 to each Democrat who changed their position to support immunity for Telcos (94 Dems)
$4,987 to each Democrat who remained opposed to immunity for Telcos (116 Dems)
88 percent of the Dems who changed to supporting immunity (83 Dems of the 94) received PAC contributions from Verizon, AT&T, or Sprint during the last three years (Jan. 2005-Mar. 2008). See below for list of these 94 Dems.
All House Members (June 20th vote:)
Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint gave PAC contributions averaging:
$9,659 to each member of the House voting "YES" (105-Dem, 188-Rep)
$4,810 to each member of the House voting "NO" (128-Dem, 1-Rep)
http://www.maplight.org/FISA_June08
If you check on Dem Jay Rockefeller of W. Va.GGS of Mr. Big Oil J.D. Rockefeller on www.opensecrets.org you will find Verizon and ATT are his biggest campaign contributors.

As a matter of fact you can check on all conributors of note at that site for all candidates.
You will find Wall street over whelmening supports Barack.

-*Democrats want health care for illegals!!!!

Whichever Democrats vote/support this------make sure that you vote them out of office!!!!

Contact your Congress members and say "NO WAY"

CNN transcripts
Lou Dobbs Show
July 23, 2008

Lisa Sylvester: The group Progressive Democrats of America wants to end the Iraq war and plow the war funding into setting up a system of universal health care.

Tim Carpenter, Progressive Democrats of America: We believe in health care for all. We make it very clear Progressive Democrats of America our goal fundamentally is to make sure that all of us have health care, all of us within the U.S. borders have health care.

Sylvester: And by all in U.S. borders, he says that includes everyone in the United States, including upwards of 12 million illegal aliens. The group is urging the Democratic Party to adopt a plank at the party's convention in Denver, guaranteeing accessible health care for all.

Congressman John Conyers from Michigan, a leading pro amnesty advocate in Congress, is the first top Democratic delegate to sign up for the Progressive Democrat's platform on universal health care. Critics charge that offering health care to millions of illegal aliens will encourage even more illegal immigration and is an attack on the concept of U.S. citizenship.

Tom Tancredo: There'' plenty of government subsidized health care to go around. Now we're adding another dimension to that, people who are here who are not even supposed to be here, people who are not citizens."

How about the fact that the Democrats want to provide affordable health care for the 47 million AMERICANS who have no health coverage at all. The Republicans do not.

And this is HEALTH INSURANCE REFORM, not socialized medicine. That last is for edification of the trolls who scream lies over and over again, as if repeating a lie somehow makes it the truth. The facts are, the insurance companies now control health care, not doctors, and only care about lining their own pockets.

And more polls coming in, this is for you Oriana, who claimed that there were no polls Obama is leading in:
----------

Barack Obama’s lead over John McCain has now stretched to five percentage points in Pennsylvania. In April, McCain had a statistically insignificant lead, but the Democratic candidate has been slowly moving ahead since then.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state finds Obama out front 47% to 42%. When “leaners” are included, Obama leads 51% to 45%. Last month, Obama led 46% to 42% after holding just a two-point lead the month before.

McCain holds a 40% to 38% edge among unaffiliated voters in the state his month. Obama leads 45% to 41% among men and 50% to 43% among women.

Obama is viewed favorably by 58% of voters in Pennsylvania, which has not changed since last month. McCain is viewed favorably by 61%, up from 57% last month.

Rasmussen Markets shows that Democrats are currently given a 79.9% chance of winning Pennsylvania’s twenty-one Electoral College Votes this fall.

The fact that Muslim terrorist Raila Odinga (Obama's cousin)-------attempted to overthrow the government in Kenya----murdered MANY people who got in his way-----so that he could put in a government of Islam/Sharia Law.
Obama just visited his cousin Raila Odinga in August, 2006 (Google it, if you do not believe me)----and took a recent phone call from cousin Raila during the New Hampshire primaries.
Know wonder some of you are Obama zombies.
I know, I know, what you Obama zombies will say......
There could be many of us who have family members who are Muslim terrorists, try to overthrow governments, and murder anybody/anyone who got in the way.

Obama honors Hitler Monument to Nazi victories.
Oops.

In a never-ending string of mis-steps showing that Barack Obama isn't ready to be President, he has chosen to give a major campaign speech at a monument set up by Hitler to symbolize German dominance over Europe, a monument that celebrated Prussian victories over other European countries..

No to Socialist Hussein Obama....

Obama's allegiance is with muslims, because he sympathizes and cares for their injured feelings, but Obama forgets to visit the injured US troops that are being treated in Germany !

Obama disrespects our flag, trivializes our patriotic symbols, and disregards our injured troops. Typical of a citizen of Kenya.

.........including 13 million ILLEGALS.

The reason health care is so expensive is that it isn't free market it's over regulated and over LAWYERED as a result .

For instance an insurance company must be formed for every state a company does biz in.
There cannot be an Aetna Health Insurance co.
But an Aetna of NY, an Aetna of Ca. an Aetna of Va etc.etc X 50.

So if you move you must change companies and all companies don't operate every place.
Why not national competition ( DEMS)?

Let the company decide where they want to do biz not some stone age archaic rules that cost the general public big bucks.

Hope. Change. These are the two things that Sen. Barack Obama promises my generation, but I cannot help but recall that these were the same things that figures like Hitler and Mussolini also offered their country's discontented youth. It would be wrong to compare Obama with either of these despots beyond the way that they use eloquent rhetoric to manipulate people's grievances and seize political power.

Obama is not evil, yet he is still dangerous, not because of the power he seeks, but because of the power he has. He has the power to inculcate people with fear and desperation and call it hope. He has the power to divest people of patriotism and then present himself as the one who can restore it. He has the power to speak evasively and portray himself forthright.

As many political pundits have recently remarked, Obama's rhetoric is positively downcast. He paints a picture of America as a wasteland. Following the Iowa caucuses, he declared, "Our nation is at war. Our planet is in peril. Our health care system is broken, our economy is out of balance, our education system fails too many of our children, and our retirement system is in tatters."

Our nation may be at war, but our planet is not in imminent peril. Our health care system is not broken by most standards, which rank it ahead of most of the world. Our economy might be headed toward recession or stagflation, but we have faced economic problems almost every decade in our history. Our educational system is mediocre, but it's not the president's constitutional responsibility or prerogative to fix it. Our retirement system is headed toward collapse, but Obama so far has not posited a solution to fix it.

More than anything, Obama proffers my generation despair and deception, casting things as much worse than they are and trying to persuade us that he is the only one who can fix America's problems challenges insignificant compared with others Americans have faced.

No to Socialist Hussein Obama...

Like all neocons, you're a mealy-mouthed liar.

Obama chose to make his speech at the Brandenburg Gate under the Seigessaule monument at the recommendation of the mayor of Berlin, Klaus Wowereit.

The Seignessaule monument was built generations before the coming of Hilter and is dedicated to German military victories over Denmark, Austria and France. Hitler has no connection to it other than relocating it.

Presidents Reagan and Clinton made public addresses from the same location.

The moral of this story is, when a neocon talks, put their head over a toilet because you know what's coming out is fit to be flushed.

Obama Hits a Wall! Will Media Highlight MAJOR

Obama Gaffe in Berlin Speech?

Obama's speech today in Berlin, hailed as a "major" address, has at least one major, glaring error that shows that nether Obama nor his handlers and speech writers were thoroughly familiar with the facts. Obama's main theme was about the "walls" that separate all of us one from another. He claims that many of these "walls" have been taken down and hails that as progress. But in at least one instance he is wrong. In fact more walls have been built where Obama claimed they were taken down.

Obama claims that the walls built to separate Protestant from Catholic have come down in Belfast. Well, in fact, they have not. In reality MORE ARE BEING BUILT all the time.

As a May 5th USA Today story chronicles, "Ten years after peace was declared in Northern Ireland, one might have expected that Belfast's barriers would be torn down by now. But reality, as usual, is far messier. Not one has been dismantled. Instead they've grown in both size and number."

Ronald Reagan was able to get Mr. Gorbechev to tear down those walls, but it seems Mr. Obama can't even get it straight if they exist or not!

So, where is the fawning, sycophantic media to lambast Obama's ignorance here?

I won't hold my breath.

No to Socialist Hussein Obama....

Still, even as the issue of his speech's location has now been settled, a number of politicians in Berlin are still dissatisfied with the site. The Siegessäule -- or Victory Column -- was erected in memory of Prussia's victories over Denmark (1864), Austria (1866) and France (1870/71). The column originally stood in front of the Reichstag, Germany's parliament building, but was moved by Adolf Hitler to its current location in 1939 to make way for his planned transformation of Berlin into the Nazi capital "Germania."
...

"The Siegessäule in Berlin was moved to where it is now by Adolf Hitler. He saw it as a symbol of German superiority and of the victorious wars against Denmark, Austria and France," the deputy leader of the Free Democrats, Rainer Brüderle, told Bild am Sonntag.

Senator Barack Obama will speak in Berlin on Thursday in Tiergarten Park, beneath the monument topped with the statue of a golden angel known as the Siegessäule.

The column originally stood in front of the Reichstag, Germany’s parliament building, but was moved by Adolf Hitler to its current location in 1939 to make way for his planned transformation of Berlin into the Nazi capital “Germania.”

Hitler didn’t just move the monument to its more central location. He had a taller column built for it as well, to emphasize its message of German military domination over Europe. He saw it as a message to Germans of their destiny — as well as to other Europeans as their destiny as well. It was never meant as a symbol of peaceful, multicultural co-existence.

He 's losing ground in all the polls.

wishing he wasn't won't make it so.

even with the press in the tank for him, he's losing supporters.

maybe because American are learning that he's a liar

Obama's interview with Brian Williams on NBC Nightly News
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032619

Obama tells Brian Williams that he always said more troops would have an impact

here is Barack Obama at the time of the debate on the surge in January 2007

"I am not persuaded that 20,000 additional troops in Iraq is going to solve the sectarian violence there in fact I think it will do the reverse. I think it takes pressuire off the Iraqis to arrive at the sort of political accomidation that every observer believes is the ultimate solution to the problems we face there. So I am going to actively oppose the president's proposal... I think he is wrong."

Obama was not just wrong on the surge but he continues to deny that he was wrong.

And, Obama continues to lie about his opposition to the surge.
