Ron Paul says No to John McCain!

Ron Paul has rejected John McCain's appeal for his endorsement.

Paul said; "the idea was that he (McCain) would do less harm than the other candidate."

I must say that John McCain missed a golden opportunity to hold his tongue!

Race for the White House: Who's giving Money to Who!

There's a fabulous web site that is definately worth visiting - http://www.opensecrets.org

It's the web site of the Center for Responsive Politics. There you will find complete campaign finance reports for the presidential candidates. I was fascinated to find out who's contributing to whom, what the candidates are spending and where, who the heavy hitters are, etc.

I was surprised to learn that the Lobbyists overwhelmingly love Hillary, contributing $764,142 to her campaign while donating only $87,108 to Obama, $422,276 to McCain and a whopping $300 to Ron Paul ... was it something that Ron said?

The Lawyers and law firms are Billary's single biggest fans ponying up a mere $12,452,460 to get her nominated. Obama received $9,732,282 ... boy those lawyers have bucks to toss around. McCain received $2,557,661 and then they sent Ron Paul $237,275... I guess at this point they simply ran out of bucks!

Here's what really sticks out like a sore thumb. The lobbyists, lawyers, commercial banks, hedge funds, real estate, and the securities and investments sectors are really dumping on Ron Paul, the man who has promised to uphold the Constitution of the United States by shutting down and abolishing the Federal Reserve.

When the big boys try to make Ron Paul irrelevant, perhaps the alarm bells should go off, and America would be served well by taking a close look at what Ron Paul stands for.

Why Dr. Ron Paul Doesn't Stand a snowball's Chance in Hades of becoming the next President of the United States!

Here is a brief synopsis of Ron Paul's position:

• marching out of Iraq just as America marched in.
• no more meddling in the Middle East.
• bringing the troops home from hundreds of expensive bases all over the world.
• abolish the personal income tax and the IRS - they are not compatible with a free society.
• repeal the Patriot Act and the Military Commissions Act.
• restore habeas corpus.
• stop spying on Americans. No more eavesdropping on personal emails and bank accounts, business and home phone calls.
• no national ID.... just the bracing freedom of the Constitution.
• sound money and not the great counterfeiting machine called the Federal Reserve that causes recessions and inflation.
• private property rights, with no pollution or other attacks on property.
• enforce the Second Amendment and all the Bill of Rights. Privacy for each citizen with no secrecy for a corrupt bureaucracy.
• restoration of the Republic and sovereignty.
• no UN, no North American Union with Canada and Mexico.
• no WTO, no World Bank and no International Monetary Fund.
• federalism, free enterprise, peace and prosperity.

Does Ron Paul sound like a President who could do a lot of good things for America? You bet, but that's exactly why you will never see him as the Republican Presidential candidate. His common sense has been stepping on too many toes which have been running America into the ground.

A little bit of This and a little bit of That

The odds on Ron Paul becoming President have been cut from 66:1 to 12:1 and have him going head to head with Rudy Guiliani for the Republican nomination.

It suddenly struck me the other day just how apropos the party logos for the Republicans and Democrats are. One is a jackass and the other Dumbo the elephant.

Big Blu is a 30,000lb massive ordinance penetrator and is referred to as the Mother of All Bombs. Well boys and girls, the U.S. airforce has just asked Congress for $88m to equip B2 stealth bombers with racks strong enough to carry the bomb.
According to the air force this is an "urgent operational need from theatre commanders."
John Pike a defence expert at the Globalsecurity.org think-tank says that the request for Big Blu has "bombing Iran written all over it."

The U.S. is building a forward base named - Combat Outpost Shocker - just 5 miles from the Iranian border.

Notice the gradual ratcheting-up of rhetoric to acclimatise everyone to the threat of war. The mantra among the dweebs in Washington these days is - "Iran is the new Iraq." Rah Rah Sis Boom-Bah!

The nuclear aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, its strike force and two smaller helicopter carriers, the USS Wasp and USS Kersage, which are marine amphibian assault craft have been taking part in an American Persian Gulf exercise since November 2nd.
This on the heels of Iranian General Ali Fahdavi stating that his forces are ready to strike and block oil traffic through the Straits of Hormuz.

Apparently there are rumours in the intelligence community of a false flag operation that is being planned for either Long Beach or Houston. Apparently it will be a detonated device. Another 911 type scenario to inflame Americans and win their passionate support for the bombing of Iran.
Just a rumour ... let's see if it plays out.

Here are the latest terrorist stats.

• The U.S. has 775,000 suspected terrorists on their terror list.
• 53,000 have been questioned since 2004. What's happening with the other 722,000?
• 269 have been denied entry into the U.S. .... that's it?
• No stats on how many have been renditioned. Wonder why?
