Top Wall Street Firms Give Millions More To Democrats

Excerpt:

Based on media coverage, conventional wisdom suggests Wall Street would favor Republican Party candidates when donating to campaigns. But that’s not the case.

According to the Center for Responsive Politics Web site OpenSecrets.org, out the top 25 political contributors for the 2008 election cycle, nine were Wall Street banking or investment firms, including the now defunct firm Lehman Brothers. Employees at eight of those nine firms gave more money to Democratic candidates – nearly $17 million to Democratic candidates versus only $11 million to their Republican counterparts. That’s 60 percent for Democrats to only 40 percent for Republicans.


The 'Sky Is Falling' Republicans - Do you know one?

Anger. Dread. Fear. Stress. Trauma. Doom. Failure.

It must be October in Republican land!

Every 4 years, an incredible process takes place across this Nation. The Olympics and Conventions are over and the 'meat' of the presidential campaign is in full swing. So are the Republicans.

Democrats can be forgiven for their stupidity. They want to win the White House, badly. Although, they didn't run their best possible candidate; but it doesn't matter to the DNC that Obama is seen as 'selected' and not 'elected' by some 18 million Hillary supporters. They don't "need them" and expect all Clinton supporters to "get over it". We'll see who has the last laugh.

Back to the Republicans, yes--where were we again?

Oh, gloom and doom. Apologies for those trying to keep things in order. Yes, the dear Republican Party and the 'panic' that is rising among some factions within the party. Yes, we're going to lose just like we did 4 and 8 years ago.

Oh wait! We didn't lose!

Our point is the Republicans go through "we're going to lose" gloom and doom a couple of weeks before every election. You can mark it on the calendar. It is the leap year surprise. Another election, another traumatized Republican loss.

The only problem is the Republicans don't tend to lose general elections---despite their naysaying and nattering on about losing. It is a perpetual doom and gloom mentality that keeps the saying "The Republicans are the Stupid Party" going for generations.

Speaking of Republicans, we posted the video of the Wisconsin rally yesterday. The gentleman in Wisconsin obviously speaks for many Republicans that are waiting for McCain to drop the "bomb" and stop being nice. We wholeheartedly agree, but it reminds us again that our party is one of "perpetual anger".


Wait! Aren't the Democrats the party of the angry, frustrated, and anti-American? We're talking about a different type of anger and no--not all Democrats are anti-American. If they loathe George Soros, they're good Democrats.

The problem for Republicans is "perpetual anger" works when it motivates your base to do something. Yet, it motivates some and causes others in the party to declare the "sky is falling".

How do you spot a Republican suffering from the 'sky is falling' syndrome?


A Republican that cannot understand why the media isn't covering all of Barack Obama's associations with terrorists and shady people.

Our answer: It is the responsibility of the McCain campaign to get the message out. After awhile, the media will not be able to ignore what the campaign is saying. By the way, it's beginning to work as all major networks are "covering" the story. Heck, even Obama is starting to "dispute" these associations. Nice try, Barack.


A Republican whose attention span is worse than a toddler and cannot remember the previous elections.

A Republican whose idea of "change" is to vote Third party or threaten to "sit this one out" when the going gets tough.

A Republican who believes that Barack Obama will win the Evangelical vote by large margins.

A Republican who sends out emails to his/her friends that Utah and Wyoming are in 'play' for Obama.

A Republican who believes and obsesses over polls.

A Republican who related to, work with, or associate with Obama supporters.

A Republican who is terrified of their own shadow.

A Republican that continues to tell other Republicans "the reality of the situation is".

A Republican that doesn't understand the "reality of the situation" and declares his/her opinion to be rooted on "gut instinct" or a "sinking feeling".


A Republican who on the night of the election after victory declared---will be screaming the loudest.

A Republican who didn't help or lift one finger to ensure the victory of John McCain and Sarah Palin.

Should you happen to cross one of these Republicans---ignore them. There is nothing that can be done for them except a good dose of "reality" on November 4th.

Don't waste your time or oxygen on such idiotic Republicans. The rest of us have work to do. After all, imagine what it will be like being a Democrat on the night of November 4th should the Republicans win again.

Burning Down The House: What Caused Our Economic Crisis? V2



Burning Down The House Version 2

World Markets

Asia

Follow the world markets to see what they think about this bailout. As of a few seconds ago, most of the Asian markets are rapidly declining. Some of the Asian markets opened down and seem to be going further down.

As we leave you with this final post for the evening, we're hoping the Republicans refuse to vote for this bailout. Take a page from Senator Obama and vote "present" or "no".

This is merely a band aid covering a larger wound.


We're still the greatest country in the world. We just can't seem to vote people into elected office that give a rip about her. Wall Street has thumbed its nose at Americans one too many times, but failed to realize it is the average American that keeps this country going. Yet again, the American people are being asked to bail out Wall Street.

Enough is enough.

Larry Nichols' Message To America and Congress - From Nichols Live Host

SPREAD THE MESSAGE FAR AND WIDE, THIS IS OUR COUNTRY WE ARE TALKING ABOUT!! SEND THE EMAIL TO ALL PRESS, RADIO, TV, 24 HR NEWS, CANDIDATES! SEND IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN! LET THEM KNOW WE ARE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND WE CAN NOT BE DEFEATED!!! CONGRESS WANTS WAR!

For far too long the American people have sat back and watched for any hope of one day again having a government that takes care of its people rather than the powerful and rich few. It is with great regret that this day has been thrust on the hard working, good intentioned people of America. As of this writing we understand that there has been a tentative agreement to the $700 billion bailout of the power elite. Creating a debt that will be borne by the American taxpayer. This will not stand. Today many Americans are disappointed that after letting their Congress men and women know in no uncertain terms that this bailout is unacceptable. Congress has chosen to go against the will of the people they serve. It is time for the American people to understand we are at war. I do not use the term 'war' lightly. It matters only that we the people did not declare it, our government did, and to exact a war, one has to know who our government this time has declared war on. It is not the oil rich Middle East. Simply put, it is the American taxpayer. It is after having for many years backed away from a commitment agreed to by our forefathers, that we the people today must act.

Our forefathers warned that there would be days like this, and they were very succinct in their response for the actions we should take in this eventuality. When our government runs amok, it is incumbent on we the people to overthrow it. Many for years have believed that terms like 'overthrowing the government' related to revolution meant guns, bombs, killing. Because of that reality, it has been removed from the minds and hearts of most people. The war to which I speak, the revolution that we must engage in, will use no such weapons. There will need to be no mad rush to buy ammunition for the guns that shall and will remain silent.

Rather still we will use the weapons left for us by our forefathers and more lethal today than any military concept. It will be all the ammunition we will need. That is our voice, our voices collectively, and our vote. With these weapons and ammunition, we will charge forward to overthrow a government that has absolutely ignored every man, woman, and child regardless of race or creed without the luxury of wealth. Starting this day we will notify Congress, both Democrat, Republican, the president, the vice president, and both presidential candidates. This will not stand. The war will move presently on two fronts. The first front is self-explanatory. It will be political. To all in power that sign on to this bailout, you will be defeated in November.

The Nancy Pelosi's, the Harry Reed's, tonight we remind you, there was a time when the Republicans had control, and in case you have forgotten that was just two years ago. The American public gained the power in congress. This will happen again. And to the Democrats that believe they are immune to the conservative outspoken portion of America, you need only to know this: This day there is no conservative, no liberal, no republican, no Democratic - there are only Americans, and whichever party is in office this day that signs on to this bill, they will lose in November. And so I would say to the Democrats who are laughing all the way to November, believing that they will gain power, more control, and have their terms at an absolute bow once again in Congress, you have made a serious mistake.

If you add it up, Democrats have more seats in Congress, so therefore you, Pelosi, Reed, you have more to lose - for everywhere there is a Democrat in Congress being challenged by a Republican, the Republican will win; and for every Republican in office, there will be a Democrat that will win. Do the math and look at where the power will lie.

To Obama and McCain: The American people believe, as you have with the cooperation of the media, convinced them that there is no choice; one or the other. Let me be very clear. There are other choices, and the mantra that will run throughout this nation will be 'anybody but you.' I know that you believe that there cannot be a third party candidate that could surely glean enough votes to actually win. You may be right. But as both of you should be keenly aware, neither of you have a vote that you can afford to lose. Most directly to you, McCain, believe these words today, for any vote passed for a Libertarian candidate or the Constitutional candidate or the Green Party candidate, the deficit will be applied to you more so than Obama. Make your choice well who you believe, and I will give you the choice that should be the will of the American people.

Do not worry, Obama, for you are not free of risk because you should know better than anyone the damage this bill will cause to those of color in this country, and maybe they will figure out that you are more closely akin to the rich and power elite than you are to them. The second front will be more serious than that of simply politics. If this bill passes under the pretense that if it is not done then there could be runs on banks forcing the collapse of our financial institutions.

To all of the people of America, that may be you will turn into an absolute, with the passing of this bill, all Americans that cannot take it any more than have been pushed to the bottom more and more every day, your task is simple. They are afraid of a run on banks. You, we, will give it to them. With the signing of this bill, all are to go to their financial institution, get in line, and pull every single dollar out of your bank. I know you think that extreme.

We did not ask for this course. We did not choose this action. Our government betrayed us and sold us out. They have given us no choice. We did not pick this battle, but it is still within us that if a battle is to be waged, we the people will choose the battlefield. To this end, I say to you, the false entity that we still call our government, you are forcing the hand of the people you are supposed to serve, and you will be dealt with swiftly and absolutely. To this corrupt form of government, you seem to have forgotten amidst the phone calls, the emails, the letters, that these interested people trying to communicate with you are actually the people you work for.

You represent us. We are not your pawns to be led blindly around. Choose wisely your actions because the American people have drawn finally a line in the sand, not of our choosing but out of necessity, to overthrow the government that has betrayed us. I intend that this message be sent to you directly by as many people who feel obliged to do so. It is only important that you hold, not the people that have become so compelled to take action, accountable. If there is retribution, I suggest you aim it at me.

My name is Larry Nichols.

TO ALL THAT RECEIVE THIS: You must move swiftly. Email this over and over to every member of Congress, the White House, the presidential candidates. Let them see this now before the vote goes down tomorrow. There is time to stop a needless war that will surely hurt us. There will be casualties. Be strong, be wise, and know you must fight; if not for you, for the people you love, your children, your grandchildren, your grandchildren's grandchildren, and if you cannot feel compelled to act, you will be complicit with the destruction of something we will call America. Please act now.

Who is Maude Hurd - President of Acorn

As mentioned in the article below, Maude Hurd is the president of ACORN.

What is interesting about Ms. Hurd, and not getting play on MSM outlets across the nation, is her background. Who is she and why should we be concerned about her political activities?

Have a look for yourself:

From Family Security Matters:

According to columnist Michelle Malkin:

This left-wing group takes in 40 percent of its revenues from American taxpayers - you and me - and has leveraged nearly four decades of government subsidies to fund affiliates that promote the welfare state and undermine capitalism and self-reliance, some of which have been implicated in perpetuating illegal immigration and encouraging voter fraud. A new whistleblower report from the Consumer Rights League documents how Chicago-based ACORN has commingled public tax dollars with political projects.

Who in Washington will fight to ensure that your money isn't being spent on these radical activities? Don't bother asking Barack Obama. He cut his ideological teeth working with ACORN as a "community organizer" and legal representative. Naturally, ACORN's political action committee has warmly endorsed his presidential candidacy.


According to ACORN, Obama trained its Chicago members in leadership seminars; in turn, ACORN volunteers worked on his campaigns. Obama also sat on the boards of the Woods Fund and Joyce Foundation, both of which poured money into ACORN's coffers. ACORN head Maude Hurd gushes that Obama is the candidate who "best understands and can affect change on the issues ACORN cares about" - like ensuring their massive pipeline to your hard-earned money.

Our note: Look who sits on the board of the Woods Fund--no other than William Ayers.

John McCain's new ad!

Tom Matzzie


Who is Tom Matzzie?

He is pictured above and most importantly, he was the former Washington director of MoveOn.org.
According to Newsmax, he has formed a new group called Accountable America that has sent thousands of letters out to Republican donors with threat of legal action if they support conservative organizations.
Yes, this guy is a buffoon. A big buffoon at that!
