The McCains own 13 cars, eight homes and access to a corporate jet, and Cindy had her Marie Antoinette moment at the convention. Vanity Fair calculated that her outfit cost $300,000, with three-carat diamond earrings worth $280,000, an Oscar de la Renta dress valued at $3,000, a Chanel white ceramic watch clocking in at $4,500 and a four-strand pearl necklace worth between $11,000 and $25,000. While presenting herself as an I’m-just-like-you hockey mom frugal enough to put the Alaska state plane up for sale on eBay, Palin made her big speech at the convention wearing a $2,500 cream silk Valentino jacket that the McCain staff had gotten her at Saks.

Between 1982 and 1987, McCain had received $112,000 in lawful[103] political contributions from Charles Keating Jr. and his associates at Lincoln Savings and Loan Association, along with trips on Keating's jets[102] that McCain belatedly repaid in 1989.[104] In 1987, McCain was one of the five senators whom Keating contacted in order to prevent the government's seizure of Lincoln, and McCain met twice with federal regulators to discuss the government's investigation of Lincoln.[102] In 1999, McCain said: "The appearance of it was wrong. It's a wrong appearance when a group of senators appear in a meeting with a group of regulators, because it conveys the impression of undue and improper influence. And it was the wrong thing to do."[105] In the end, McCain was cleared by the Senate Ethics Committee of acting improperly or violating any law or Senate rule, but was mildly rebuked for exercising "poor judgment".

Just got this. Looks like the Nut-Bag right sees the writing on the wall. F--k them all.
"The speech George W. Bush might give:
Normally, I start these things out by saying 'My Fellow Americans.' Not doing it this time.
If the polls are any indication, I don't know who more than half of you are anymore.
I do know something terrible has happened, and that you're really not fellow Americans any longer.
I'll cut right to the chase here: I quit. Now before anyone gets all in a lather about me quitting to avoid impeachment,
or to avoid prosecution or something, let me assure you: There's been no breaking of laws or impeachable offenses in
this office.The reason I'm quitting is simple. I'm fed up with you people. I'm fed up because you have no understanding of what's
really going on in the world. Or of what's going on in this once-great nation of ours. And the majority of you are too
damned lazy to do your homework and figure it out.Let's start local. You've been sold a bill of goods by politicians and the news media.
Meanwhile, all you can do is whine about gas prices, and most of you are too damn stupid to realize that gas prices are
high because there's increased demand in other parts of the world, and because a small handful of noisy idiots are
more worried about polar bears and beachfront property than your economic security.We face real threats in the world. Don't give me this 'blood for oil' thing. If I were trading blood for oil I would've already seized Iraq's oil fields and let the rest of the country go to hell. And don't give me this 'Bush Lied...People Died' crap
either. If I were the liar you morons take me for, I could've easily had chemical weapons planted in Iraq so they could be 'discovered.' Instead, I owned up to the fact that the intelligence was faulty.Let me remind you that the rest of the world thought Saddam had the goods, same as me. Let me also remind you that regime change in Iraq was official US policy before I came into office. Some guy named ' Clinton ' established that policy.
Bet you didn't know that, did you?Now some of you morons want to be led by a junior senator with no understanding of foreign policy or economics, and
this nitwit says we should attack Pakistan, a nuclear ally. And then he wants to go to Iran and make peace with a terrorist who says he's going to destroy us. While he's doing that, he wants to give Iraq to al Qaeda, Afghanistan to the Taliban,
Israel to the Palestinians, and your money to the IRS so the government can give welfare to illegal aliens, who he will make into citizens, so they can vote to re-elect him. He also thinks its okay for Iran to have nuclear weapons, and we should stop our foreign aid to Israel. Did you sleep through high school?You idiots need to understand that we face a unique enemy. Back during the cold war, there were two major competing political and economic models squaring off. We won that war, but we did so because fundamentally, the Communists
wanted to survive, just as we do. We were simply able to out spend and out-tech them.That's not the case this time. The soldiers of our new enemy don't care if they survive. In fact, they want to die.
That'd be fine, as long as they weren't also committed to taking as many of you with them as they can. But they
are.. They want to kill you, and the bastards are all over the globe.You should be grateful that they haven't gotten any more of us here in the United States since September 11. But you're
not. That's because you've got no idea how hard a small number of intelligence, military, law enforcement, and homeland security people have worked to make sure of that. When this whole mess started, I warned you that this would be a long
and difficult fight. I'm disappointed how many of you people think a long and difficult fight amounts to a single season of 'Survivor.'Instead, you've grown impatient. You're incapable of seeing things through the long lens of history, the way our enemies
do. You think that wars should last a few months, a few years, tops.Making matters worse, you actively support those who help the enemy. Every time you buy the New York Times, every
time you send a donation to a cut-and-run Democrat's political campaign, well, dang it, you might just as well Fed Ex
a grenade launcher to a Jihadist. It amounts to the same thing.In this day and age, it's easy enough to find the truth. It's all over the Internet. It just isn't on the pages of the New York Times, USA Today, or on NBC News. But even if it were, I doubt you'd be any smarter. Most of you would rather watch American Idol or Dancing with Stars.
I could say more about your expectations that the government will always be there to bail you out, even if you're too
stupid to leave a city that's below ow sea level and has a hurricane approaching.I could say more about your insane belief that government, not your own wallet, is where the money comes from.
But I've come to the conclusion that were I to do so, it would sail right over your heads.So I quit. I'm going back to Crawford. I've got an energy-efficient house down there (Al Gore could only dream) and the capability to be fully self-sufficient for years. No one ever heard of Crawford before I got elected, and as soon as I'm
done here pretty much no one will ever hear of it again. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to die of old age before the last
pillars of America fall.Oh, and by the way, Cheney's quitting too. That means Pelosi is your new President. You asked for it.
Watch what she does carefully, because I still have a glimmer of hope that there are just enough of you remaining
who are smart enough to turn this thing around in 2008.So that's it. God bless what's left of America. Some of you know what I mean. The rest of you, kiss off.

I can understand disagreeing with Obama's politics, that is fair game, but questioning his religious beliefs and the quality of his character is simply implied racism and xenophobia. I can't prove it and you can't deny it. Anyone with a shred of intelligence sees right through the fear-mongering far-right agenda on this one.
Does anyone ask if John McCain hates Asians because he was held prisoner by them? No. Why? Because you can't "other" an old white man.- Not so fast, I don't see how questioning his religious affiliation can be considered "racist or xenophobia"designbot
- Questioning anything can be a good thing, especially if the thing or person you are questioning can stand up to scrutiny.designbot
- in the end, you end up with a much greater understanding (and hopefully respect) of the subject or person.designbot
- Because according to the constitution, religion should have absolutely nothing to do with the government. Raising this question is a thinly veiled attempt to leverage some people's ignorance and fear.BRNK
- ... Raising this question is a thinly veiled attempt to leverage some people's ignorance and fear.BRNK

ATF disrupts skinhead plot to assassinate Obama
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081…
WASHINGTON – Federal agents have broken up a plot to assassinate Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and shoot or decapitate 102 black people in a Tennessee murder spree, the ATF said Monday.
In court records unsealed Monday, federal agents said they disrupted plans to rob a gun store and target a predominantly African-American high school by two neo-Nazi skinheads. Agents said the skinheads did not identify the school by name.
Jim Cavanaugh, special agent in charge of the Nashville field office for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said the two men planned to shoot 88 black people and decapitate another 14. The numbers 88 and 14 are symbolic in the white supremacist community.
The men also sought to go on a national killing spree, with Obama as its final target, Cavanaugh told The Associated Press.
"They said that would be their last, final act — that they would attempt to kill Sen. Obama," Cavanaugh said. "They didn't believe they would be able to do it, but that they would get killed trying."
An Obama spokeswoman traveling with the senator in Pennsylvania had no immediate comment.
The men, Daniel Cowart, 20, of Bells, Tenn., and Paul Schlesselman 18, of West Helena, Ark., are being held without bond. Agents seized a rifle, a sawed-off shotgun and three pistols from the men when they were arrested. Authorities alleged the two men were preparing to break into a gun shop to steal more.
Attorney Joe Byrd, who has been hired to represent Cowart, did not immediately return a call seeking comment Monday.
Cowart and Schlesselman are charged with possessing an unregistered firearm, conspiring to steal firearms from a federally licensed gun dealer, and threatening a candidate for president.
The investigation is continuing, and more charges are possible, Cavanaugh said.

Socialist Presidents! "Did you know that all of the Presidents from Woodrow Wilson to Jimmy Carter were "socialists?" In 1917, with Wilson at the helm, the top tax rate was 67 percent. Under President Dwight D. Eisenhower it was 92 percent. President Gerald Ford kept the top tax rate steady at 70 percent. Under President Clinton, where Sen. Obama has pledged to restore it, the top rate was 39.6. Today it is at 35%"
