It was so much fun going through just the FY 2006 listing and shortening it up... the FY 2005 is just as long... that list is not his entire record by any account.<BR/><BR/>Say, if Sen. Obama is so anti-PAC money, then how come he <A HREF="http://ajacksonian.blogspot.com/2008/06/sen-obama-and-early-campaign-funding.html" REL="nofollow">took so much of it</A> early in his career? There are a couple of years when the overwhelming majority of his >$150 donation list is PAC, Union and big business contributions. What's up with that?<BR/><BR/>And what is it with him and <A HREF="http://ajacksonian.blogspot.com/2008/06/it-isn-what-you-know-but-who-you-know.html" REL="nofollow">Ba'athist Iraqi and Syrian</A> connections, anyways? Trying to find more dictators he can support?<BR/><BR/>Jeez, haven't even gotten his career up to the US Senate and already it stinks: mobsters, ties to dictators, and convicted felons who swindled Iraq and the US government out of hundreds of millions. What a sweet fella!<BR/><BR/>Just another Chitown pol... gotta believe him when he said he saw dead veterans. So many dead people vote in Chicago its not funny.A Jacksonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607888697879327120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-38120141701152531252008-06-09T17:22:00.000-07:002008-06-09T17:22:00.000-07:00No wonder Illinois loves him, look at all that mon...No wonder Illinois loves him, look at all that money he is taking from other states for his own.

But how does his earmark total compare withthe Senate average? What is it as a proportion of the Senate total? I am willing to bet that it is below average and a minor part of the total.<BR/><BR/>I guess that the list was meant to shock and outrage, but it's meaningless without the comparative data. The arguement, if I can dignify it with that name, is pure rhetoric and sophistry without substance. It also purports to identify a problem without posing a solution, which renders it useless as well as meaningless.ricodechefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00427150241010428779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-49514019942704014022008-06-09T07:53:00.000-07:002008-06-09T07:53:00.000-07:00"Let the lies commence"CRAP they have been going o..."Let the lies commence"<BR/><BR/>CRAP they have been going on for almost a year and a half now!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-65536125806951830432008-06-09T04:11:00.000-07:002008-06-09T04:11:00.000-07:00The promise of free shit is all I can see drives t...The promise of free shit is all I can see drives this prick's popularity. you can't tell me it's his great speaking ability or his platform, because he sticks his foot in his mouth more than George does, and WHAT PLATFORM?<BR/>so, given his popularity, we have to assume it's his offers of a free twinkee if ya vote for me that has widespread public appeal. you know, that twinkee that's going to cost us an extra several thousand dollars in extra taxes?Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14771645943793084344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-47963398998428852822008-06-08T23:31:00.000-07:002008-06-08T23:31:00.000-07:00Or, like arugula, he can make any argument he wish...Or, like arugula, he can make any argument he wishes when he wishes for any reason he wishes and somehow make it seem to be be HIS when he wishes it, WHY he wishes it. <BR/><BR/>If, for example, I were a conspiracy theorist attempting to make an argument for the New Common Man, I shouldn't have to, then, look much further than BHO.
