"Obama Campaign: 12 Bucks Buys 10 Lawn Signs"

Don't worry Brucie and Trickle Down Terry, I've already bought some new Obama signs for you losers...

"Obama campaign: 12 Bucks Buys 10 Lawn Signs"

...and for any donation of over $100,000 Republicans can buy a piece of Rudy's non-existent character and ethics:

If I were him my campaign would be based on one thing and one thing only: I'm not Hillary!

In other campaign news....

"Former Tennessee Senator Fred Thomspon has become the fourth leading GOP presidential candidate to shun the PBS debate this month at a historically black college in Baltimore, the Huffington Post has learned.

The debates, moderated by Tavis Smiley, will go on as planned, despite the absence of Thompson, former mayor Rudy Giuliani, former governor Mitt Romney, and Sen. John McCain. Each campaign cited scheduling issues as the reason for their absence. Nevertheless, the rejections underscore the consistent absence of GOP candidates at minority voter forums.

"There is a pattern here," Smiley told the Huffington Post. "When you tell every black and brown request that you get throughout the primary process that 'no, there's a scheduling problem.' That's a pattern... Are we really supposed to believe that all four of these guys couldn't make it because of scheduling?"

The Republican frontrunners' snubbing of Smiley and PBS comes on the heels of their rejection of a debate sponsored by the Spanish-language network Univision (McCain was the only GOP candidate to accept that invitation). This past June, only one Republican presidential candidate, California Rep. Duncan Hunter, showed up at the convention of the National Association of Latino Elected & Appointed Officials."

Oh by the way, the date for this event was set by Ken Mehlman. The former leader of the RNC.

The republcretins have also blown off the NAACP debate. I remember all the wingnuts asking why D's were not debating on FauxNoise. How come all of a sudden, blowing off debates is now met with silence. Oh well, now that the republitards have reduced their base to white male southerners, I am sure they're going to win a LOT of elections.

why bother to contribute, when wanted con man Norm Hsu has already raised enough for St. Barack to pay for 2500 signs?

Don't you get tired of yourself?

Brucie,
Shouldn't you be out playing pretend civil war games with your fellow draftdodger Republicans? friends
Anyone can donate to campaign just ask Mitt Romney

From the AP:
GOP, campaign finance, campaign management, corruption, election, election 2008, gaffs and pratfalls, incompetence, lies, media, mitt romney, republicans, romney, the dark soul of Mitt Romney

“August was a disastrous month for Republicans and the Romney campaign took a huge hit when it’s national finance committee co-chairman, Alan B. Fabian was charged in a 23 count indictment, including charges of money laundering, mail fraud, perjury and obstruction of justice,” writes the estimable Logan Murphy in a web log post titled Romney Fundraising Scandal Ignored By Liberal Media - Clinton Gets Hammered Over Hsu.

It’s reported Fabian, a former Bush Pioneer, allegedly ran a scheme that netted him millions of dollars which were used to purchase beach front property and travel. The Romney campaign said they would return Fabian’s $2,300 campaign donation, but not funds donated by others through him. Fabian stepped down from Romney’s campaign shortly after his August 9th indictment — but you may not have heard much about this scandal.

However, you may have heard of a scandal involving Senator Hillary Clinton’s campaign and a less-than savory character named Norman Hsu. According to reports from the LA Times, Hsu skipped out on a 1991 plea agreement in San Mateo Co. CA, in which he was to serve three years for grand theft. Hsu, who turned himself in to authorities in CA on Friday and awaits a September 5th bail hearing, became a top Democratic fundraiser and contributor to Hillary Clinton’s campaign as well as other Democratic candidates, including Senator Barack Obama, much of which was laundered through others. The Clinton campaign has agreed to return $23,000 in campaign donations from Hsu, and Obama has agreed to donate his $2,300 donation to charity.

While both scandals hold equal potential for damage to the respective candidates involved, the media, for unknown reasons, gave Mitt Romney a pass, while devoting ample time to Hsu and the Clinton campaign. According to Media Matters, NBC, CNN and FOXNews all covered the Hsu scandal, but none of the aforementioned networks dedicated any time to the Romney/Fabian scandal.

The Wingnuts are afraid of Senator Obama and here's why:
Rudy Julieannie summed up in 30 seconds:

Wanted con man Norm Hsu, did not raise a dime for Obama's Presidential campaign.
Hsu raised over 800K for Hillary's quest to take America to "the good old days".

...I'll take a dozen...

...(they serve other purposes you know)...

...(I've found them to be both soft, yet absorbent)...

Alan Keyes is a heaven-send in these turbulent Repubican times. Its about time we GOPers took off the kid gloves and dusted off OUR Person of Color.

Let the debates begin!

Fascinating that Obama supporters have to pay for signs. The Ron Paul supporters make their own and put them up everywhere. As well, Ron Paul is NOT a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, which ought to disqualify any candidate. Obama is. So are Giuliani, Romney, Thompson, Clinton, Edwards, and Joe Biden. Shame on them.

About the Florida PBS debate. Ron Paul will be there; he cares enough to show up.

If you have not yet taken a look at Ron Paul, I invite you to do so. In 20 years in Congress he has never once voted against the Constitution, nor flipped on any issue. He is as steady as the north star.

Trickled On

Send them to the McMansion. The dog needs something new to crap on. The Hillary and Breck Girl signs are full.

Rudy Julieannie, St. Barack , republcretins, I'm not Hillary!, Brucie and Trickle Down Terry? Sounds like you people are well versed with the issues. Pick someone and support them.

Barak,

Take the 12 bucks and use it to help pay for your 17 year old parking tickets.

Yea, I guess Rudy still has a ways to go tho before he defiles the White House, commits perjury, fails to deal with a failed economy, terrorist attacks, Saddam Hussein, Rwanda, or get us involved in a waste of time like Bosnia, Kosovo, or better yet, supports a total UN screw up in Somalia, then flies the guy he is trying to "kill or capture" to Adas Abba under US protection. Don't you ever get tired of being WRONG?

So what? Many Southerners never voted against slavery and/or it's vestiges - before or after the Civil War, right up until today.

Total consistency in a voting record isn't a sign of intelligence. No, it's a sign of hubris, or of lacking enough intelligence to realize when a mistake has been made, and making the proper adjustment. GWBush's "Stay the course" is a prime example of this trait. With Shrub, it's debatable whether it's hubris or lack of intelligence, though.

12 bucks to buy 10 lawn signs....?

But,not 10-12 seconds to denounce the MoveOn.org ad.against our military and their leader, Gen. Petraeus.

Truth be told...The democratic left cannot protect us and it's true!

....ask B.J. Clinton.
8 terrorist attacks at home and abroad under B.J. and he did Nothing! BUT,he had good poll ratings!
Then we have President Bush...Low poll ratings, but, he protects us because that's his job and he does it well.
Oh, and 9/11 was planned for 3 years under B.J's nose and he did nothing, but get a Lewinsky...
Thanks for protecting us ....You J.F.K. wannabe.
And Barack is worse than B.J. or B.J's [wife]?

Ah yes, Barak is a politician in the finest "Where's My Cut?" Cook County tradition!

Some people are really dumb! He is not selling lawn signs. The idea is for people to donate $12; in return, you will get something back as a show of support. How many times have you donated to a politician and received nothing in return? It's a smart move to market his campaign as further establish name recognition. I bet the same people talking crap about this strategy all have stupid bumper stickers on their cars that say Bush-Cheney.

Yea, I guess Rudy still has a ways to go tho before he defiles the White House, commits perjury, fails to deal with a failed economy, terrorist attacks, Saddam Hussein, Rwanda, or get us involved in a waste of time like Bosnia, Kosovo, or better yet, supports a total UN screw up in Somalia, then flies the guy he is trying to "kill or capture" to Adas Abba under US protection.

Mr. Emerson Boozer-
Rudy should tells us about his divorces, adultery, and extra maritial affairs. Didn't he announce he was divorcing his wife at a news conference?? Now that's class. What about the $5, 000,000,000.00 deficit he left New York City with??
He can also explain (probably not honestly, though) why most of his family is not supporting is bid for presidency.
Your a funny guy, Boozer.

Paulo,

pResident Doogie Howser, the moron in the White House that you blindly support, has created FAR MORE terrorists than Bill Clinton ever did.

Paulo:

General Betrayus is not the Baby Jesus. It is our obligation in a free country (if you still want a free country) to criticize military commanders, esp. those who we know are stooges of the administration. Yes, we should have respect for the military in general, but not every single person in the military is wonderful or truthful. The military is supposed to be subject to civilian authority, not the other way around. Respect, yes, worship, no. There is too much worship of the military in this country, as if a uniform automatically makes you a saint. Ha! Just ask anyone in the military if everyone who has ever commanded them is beyond criticism, or if everyone they've served with has been perfect. The honest answer is "no" -- just as it is for any large organization. There are many great and honorable people serving -- one hopes and assumes the majority -- but there are also jerks. As for those at the top: sometimes you get lucky, but often the crap floats to the top.

To the poster who thinks consistency is a bad thing. Ron Paul: never voted to support the war in Iraq, never voted to raise taxes, never voted for a congressional pay raise; never supported the Patriot Act.

Re: Mistakes. As he said to Huckabee in the recent Fox debate, the US made a huge mistake in Iraq; we should fix it by withdrawing immediately. As a physician, he is quick to say that an unacknowledged mistake can cost of life. So he is all for fixing problems ASAP.

With political ideologues like Paul you get some good (voting against the Iraq War) and some bad (like abolishing Social Security and a 5% rating by the League of Conservation Voters). His "limited government" wouldn't have gone to war in Iraq, but it would also leave seniors on the street and environmental regulation up to polluters. We need a president that's pragmatic and has sound JUDGMENT, not an ideologue.

Where can I get a lawn sign or 2? We live in Evanston
