" Democrats are getting squeamish about their frontrunner."

--Well, no but you conjobs sure are getting desperate for some sleaze you can use to potentially derail either one of these Democratic candidates. LOL

"I guess you haven't heard about Obama's ties to lobbyists"

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/...

"While McCain may relish attacking lobbyists, top officials of his campaign -- including Rick Davis, his campaign manager, and Charlie Black, his chief political adviser -- are themselves well-known lobbyists with long client lists.

McCain had written two letters to the FEC on the sale of a Pittsburgh television station to Paxson Communications. Before the first letter, McCain had flown to campaign events on Paxson's corporate jet 4 times and had received $20,000 in donations from Paxson. The second letter came after the jet ferried him to a Florida fundraiser on a yacht in West Palm Beach.

McCain's campaign denied he had met Lowell "Bud" Paxson. But Paxson told the Post he had met with McCain. Newsweek also reported that McCain himself acknowledged in a 2002 deposition that he had met with Paxson."

"Plus, Obama, and Hillarry have hundreds of Earmarks for all their special interest groups."

It's funny hearing Bush-supporters accusing Democrats of pork spending when Republicans' records are so much worse.

The Clinton admin averaged only $11.8 billion in earmarks. The Bush admin with the Republican-controlled 109th Congress averaged OVER DOUBLE this at $23.4 billion. The current Democratic-controlled 110th Congress has reduced Bush's average almost by half to a more reasonable $13.2 billion.

So squeamish that Democrats are donating to Obama's campaign coffers at RECORD LEVELS and setting RECORD VOTER TURNOUTS.

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601070...

"Barack Obama will likely overwhelm John McCain in campaign spending in what would be the first time in four decades a Democrat will enjoy such an advantage. Obama has amassed $234 million -- three times more than McCain has raised. That puts Obama on the verge of shattering the fundraising mark set by President George W. Bush in 2004."

There's nothing funnier than watching neocons like ANIOKLY reverse course on McCain. Just a few months ago, these very same neocons were spewing bile at McCain in favor of Romney, Thompson and Giuliani.

It's fitting that flipfloppers are supporting the flipflopping candidate. ANIOKLY was against McCain before she was for McCain.

Pathetic.

The fact that McCain had made the tasteless joke was reported in major newspapers, as was the vain attempt by his press secretary to initially deny what McCain had done. But in several major newspapers, the joke itself was kept a secret. McCain subsequently apologized.

ANIOKLY: "What makes you think McCain is such a "nice guy?" That joke was in all the rabid right wing papers, and magazines I read, and they denounced him. I wasn't on line at the time. Candidates say what they think the people they are with want to hear."

ANIOKLY: "Oh Please. McCain will be 72 years old soon. Plus he is on the wrong side of the Immigration issue."

ANIOKLY: "I believe most of the values voters will accept Rudy, warts and all. He is the best qualified, an administrator, not a legislator."

ANIOKLY: "What will stop McCain is his past stand on Amnesty. He is losing California, his home state of Arizona, and probably Texas. That is enough to put his nomination in jeopardy. God forbid Hillary has to run against a scandal free opponent. Woohoo!!"

ANIOKLY: "McCain is old. He needs a young Vice President. He is not going to get the Romney supporters after he drops out, but he might could pick up Giulianis if they cut a deal."

ANIOKLY: "McCain is also having a difficult time in Arizona. If he loses Arizona, his home state, and California he will lose all the border states. He should not have been so arrogant after a couple little wins. It helps his opponents to have Mark Levin, and Rush ucovering factors in McCains background, but someone has to do it, and it won't be the MSM."
