Today's story the Libune won't report: the OpenSecrets.org study of campaign contributions showing that employees at Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, the two failed mortgage giants now being bailed out by the government, showered their money on top Dems. Number one recipient: Dem Presidential candidate Chris Dodd. Followed by 20 Dem Presidential candidate John Kerry; 3) Mr. "change", Barack H. Obama; and 4) Dem Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. See http://www.opensecrets.org/news/2008/07/top-senate-recipients-of-fanni.html
for the details of the study.
Follow the money.

Good one, Bruce. Here's ANOTHER story the Obama campaign's swamp branch won't report.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has agreed to meet with the Archbishop of San Francisco, George Niederauer, regarding her appearance on an August 24 episode of Meet the Press, during which she misrepresented Church doctrine on when life begins and abortion.
Niederauer, the archbishop of Pelosi's home diocese, released a public statement agreeing with the ten US bishops who have already rebuked Pelosi for her comments. In that statement he also invited Pelosi to a personal meeting with him to discuss the correct Church teaching on human life.Sounds like Nancy really stepped in it this time.
