Special election may cost $500,000
“We could have had this done for free on the November 4 election,” Crafton said. “We were thwarted with legal maneuverings, and we had no other option.”
The commission certified his petitions by a 4-0 vote. Commissioner Lynn Greer said during Friday’s meeting that Crafton was forced to take the only option available to him after earlier, unjust rulings against him.
Commission Chairman Eddie Bryan abstained in protest.
“I am still on the money thing,” Bryan said. “That’s not good, and it hurts us down the road. And they are connected to a hate group. I want no part of it.”
I’m finding it difficult to understand why there are those in gumbint, on all levels, that have such a hard time with the concept that language can unite us. They push for division, intentionally, putting roadblocks up at every turn. Are these the type of people we should entrust to work for US? And a commissioner who refuses to do his job, shouldn’t have that job!
Obama fundraiser, convicted of fraud, spills beans
Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich, whose administration faces multiple federal investigations over how it handed out jobs and money with advice from Rezko, is considered the most vulnerable.
Rezko also was friendly with Obama—offering him a job when he finished law school, funding his earliest political campaigns and purchasing a lot next to his house. But based on the known facts, charges so far and testimony at Rezko’s trial, there’s no indication there’ll be an October surprise that could hurt the Democratic presidential nominee—even though Rezko says prosecutors are pressing him for dirt about Obama.
There is much that needs to see the light of day concerning Rezko, Obama, and a LOT of other people. We on the right have tried, but so much is being ignored, I’m afraid we’re going to have ‘Chicago style politics’ in the White House before too long.
G7 backs ‘serious global response’
THE G7 rich countries all agree the world financial meltdown requires “a serious global response”, US President George W Bush said today.
He was speaking after crisis talks with finance ministers from the G7.
“All of us recognise that this is a serious global crisis and therefore requires a serious global response,” President Bush said.
The “crisis” is being pushed by people panicking because the government keeps tinkering. We have no trust in them, and they don’t think we’re smart enough to be able to survive without intervention. Oddly enough, I’d trust the drunk on the street with my money sooner than I would a politician, even thought the results would be the same.
Texas state lawmaker wants immigrant ID rule rescinded
A state lawmaker wants Texas license officials to rescind a new policy requiring non-U.S. citizens to prove they live legally in the country before receiving a Texas driver’s license or identification.
State Rep. Ruth Jones McClendon sent a letter Friday to Public Safety Commission Chairman Allan Polunsky asking for revocation of the administrative rule until the Legislature considers it. Ms. McClendon, D-San Antonio, wrote that the rule is a major policy decision that should not be initiated as a part of agency rule-making.
Another elected moron! Where do these people come from? The majority of US citizens want the borders controlled, and the illegals dealt with. Then we get people who supposedly work for us, doing everything they possibly can to undermine our will and nation. Anger doesn’t even begin to describe it!
Israeli hospital treats sick Iranian boy
The boy – who was identified only as Roy, to protect his privacy – was wheeled on a stretcher into the Sheba Medical Center near Tel Aviv, after treatments in Iran and Turkey failed. His face was puffy, apparently due to the drugs administered to ease his pain.
Israel granted the child a special permit to enter the country and he arrived at Ben Gurion Airport on Friday. The rare arrangement was mediated by an Israeli businessman of Iranian origin. The boy was accompanied to the hospital by his father and veiled mother, who were also granted special entrance permits into Israel.
Pretty much points out the difference between civilized and uncivilized, doesn’t it.
McCain-Palin’s hot rhetoric risks GOP backlash
Republican Sen. John McCain had long promised American voters that he would be the ultimate maverick presidential candidate and run “a respectful campaign.”
Americans “don’t want us to finger-point and question each other’s character and integrity,” he told Ohio voters just five months ago.
Uh, actually…..YES WE DO! If the lack of character, the lack of integrity isn’t pointed out, repeatedly, then we’ll end up with a President who has NO business sitting in the Oval Office. The man wouldn’t know the truth if it slapped him upside the head. Whoever is pulling the strings on Obama is even more dangerous than he is! So, YES, Sen. McCain, we DO want the questions!
Apparent suicide during eviction investigated
Sheriff’s Capt. Jeff McCarter said Friday that deputies were waiting across the street from the house for the results of the hearing when Ross came out and spoke to them.
They were there to serve an eviction notice if the judge decided to issue one, he said, but did not enter the house until after they heard the gunshot.
I blame Washington. I blame the feckless weasels who created this entire mess over greed. I blame those who didn’t fight hard enough to stop the abuse. I even blame Bush. No one should feel so threatened that they feel their only option is death. There is a great deal to live for even when times are tough.
However, the Wooten issue was “not the sole reason” Monegan was fired, the report said. Palin, who has been fighting off allegations of wrongdoing in the so-called Troopergate case since her selection as John McCain’s running mate, has insisted Monegan was fired because he ignored her demands to cut budgets in his department.
Todd Palin has admitted he advocated forcefully to have Wooten removed because of what have been described as inappropriate actions, including driving under the influence of alcohol, shooting a moose without a permit, threatening Palin’s father and giving his son a slight jab with a Taser.
“A slight jab”? Let’s spin the fact that a grown man tasered a young boy, shall we? Pfft! Honestly, if ever there was a cop that needed firing, it was Wooten. And if this is the worst the Dhimmis can come up with, they are truly reaching. They might want to start cleaning out their own closet before nosing into others. S
S.S. D.D.
