McCain Connected to Corruption Money (Leftists George Soros & Teresa Heinz-Kerry)
Here we go again. Just when I was going to try to cut this candidate some slack.
McCain-founded organization funded by leftist George Soros
Chad Groening - OneNewsNow - 2/13/2008 10:40:00 AM
Author and investigative journalist Jerome Corsi says some critics of GOP presidential candidate John McCain are concerned about a non-profit organization he founded in 2001 that has received funding from left-wing donors like George Soros and Teresa Heinz-Kerry.
Dr. Jerome Corsi recently published an article in WorldNetDaily which focuses on the Reform Institute, which Senator McCain (R-Arizona) used to promote his political agenda and to provide compensation to key campaign operatives between elections. The best-selling author says critics are questioning McCain's conservative credentials in light of the fact that prominent leftists have donated heavily to this organization.
"It's shocking to think that George Soros and Teresa Heinz-Kerry have [had] this kind of funding hook to John McCain for so many years," notes Corsi. "I think it explains how this foundation backed and promoted McCain's various leftist positions, as in campaign reform and in immigration where he wanted to open borders."
Corsi says even though McCain was forced to sever his formal ties with the Reform Institute in 2006 in the wake of a controversial cable television contribution, the fact that he was willing to accept money from individuals like Soros and Heinz-Kerry reveals his "true colors" as someone who has always championed leftist causes.
So last week Governor Mitt Romney "heartily" endorsed Sen. John McCain. Is it because Gov. Romney IS politically expedient? Is he now "flip-flopping" his allegiance "to pay his own dues" to the Republican party?
I'm at a loss. Yes, there are some good thing about Sen. John McCain. But just like with Pres. Bush, there are a lot of very sneaky things going on behind the smoke and mirrors scenes - oh like the suppression of free speech (McCain-Feingold), opening up the borders (McCain-Kennedy). Who doesn't want to save the earth (McCain-Lieberman) but our nation is so in debt that we can't afford even the interest of our loans to China. From Wikipedia:
His 2006 rating by the Almanac of American Politics (2008) on Social Policy is 46% conservative, 53% liberal. (2005: 64% conservative, 23% liberal.)[48] McCain also has an 83% rating from the Christian Coalition, which indicates many socially conservative views such as voting yes on $75M for abstinence education, yes on recommending Constitutional ban on flag desecration, and voting yes on memorial prayers and religious symbols at school.
Maybe I heard this on Glenn Beck last week, but what better way to push through a North American Union than by suppressing our economy, opening the borders, squelching free speech and doing all those other nasty things that get rid of our Nations sovereignty.
This conservative has not been won over yet. This conservative is deeply worried. This conservative is deeply troubled over the fact that here in Ohio, I haven't even had a chance to vote for this primary and that I'm left with the bottom of the barrel. I do have a set of core, abiding principles I live by and this candidate isn't one of them.

Dirty Mac, Sleazy Huck and Paul(?) Strike Filthy Political Backroom GOP Deals in West Virginia
Okay, so now I'm getting two bits of information for West Virginia:
McCain-Huckabee Backroom Deal:
From The Hill:
Marc Ambinder of The Atlantic reported Tuesday that, after the first ballot, McCain’s campaign called his supporters there and urged them to vote in favor of Huckabee.
“Unfortunately, this is what Senator McCain’s inside Washington ways look like: he cut a backroom deal with the tax-and-spend candidate he thought could best stop Governor Romney’s campaign of conservative change,” Beth Myers, Romney’s campaign manager, said in a statement.
Huckabee-Paul Backroom Deal:
From Reason Magazine:
I just spoke with a source inside the West Virginia Paul campaign and got some insight into the decision to push their votes to Huckabee. "There are two dynamics in West Virginia," the source said, "the national dynamic and the local dynamic. The local dynamic is frustration with a GOP establishment that doesn't believe in freedom and liberty but mouths support for those ideals in order to win elections." This, he explained, was the common cause between compassionate conservative Huckabee supporters and libertarian Paul supporters.
Both Paul supporters and Huckabee supporters were angry at a convention process that seemed to be rigged for Romney. So after the first balloting, when they were knocked out of the running, Paul delegates met in a room to hear arguments for supporting one of the remaining candidates. Huckabee's supporters offered a deal: If Huckabee won the convention, three members of his delegate slate would resign. Responsibility for replacing those delegates goes not to the state party or national party but to the winner of the convention. Thus, Huckabee's campaign would replace the three delegates with three Ron Paul delegates.
"This was a gentlemen's agreement," my source said. "We're going to trust but verify."
The Official Statement from the Romney camp:
"Unfortunately, this is what Senator McCain's inside Washington ways look like: he cut a backroom deal with the tax-and-spend candidate he thought could best stop Governor Romney's campaign of conservative change.
"Governor Romney had enough respect for the Republican voters of West Virginia to make an appeal to them about the future of the party based on issues. This is why he led on today's first ballot. Sadly, Senator McCain cut a Washington backroom deal in a way that once again underscores his legacy of working against Republicans who are interested in championing conservative policies and rebuilding the party."
Mitt Romney: "Bob Dole Is An American Hero, Another Terrific Guy."
Rush Limbaugh is going to town talking about how this is the most manipulative spin of the McCain camp. The letter does not say he has a candidate. There was no endorsement. Dole is NOT endorsing McCain. This was confirmed on Hannity and Colmes on FoxNews. Rush: "McCain is using Clinton tactics. This has nothing to do with Dole's military record. This is about political record. Lies against Romney are even worse than Nixon campaign tactics."
LAURA INGRAHAM: "Are you upset that you lost that Dole endorsement?" GOVERNOR ROMNEY: "You know you like every endorsement and Bob Dole is an American hero, another terrific guy. … But you know, I don’t think if I were the McCain campaign that’s the parallel I would have wanted to draw. Just because you know he was selected as somebody who had been a long term Senator and was seen as the anointed choice. You know the inevitable choice, the one who is next in line. I think we’re best as a party, at least in my own view, when we bring somebody in from the outside. If we want to change Washington, I think it's going to have to have an outsider to do it and it‘s going to take somebody who may not be the inevitable choice, but instead somebody who represents new passion, new vision, new energy, that I think we need to see in Washington." ("Laura Ingraham Show," 2/5/08)
Scarborough On McCain Commenting About Governor Romney:
MSNBC's Joe Scarborough: "Nice Try Senator McCain, Not Going To Work."
SCARBOROUGH: "Well what? No, the thing is what conservatives have been saying all along is electing John McCain in 2008 will be just like when Republicans had Bob Dole in 1996, just like when Republicans had Gerald Ford in 1976. Now, Pat Buchanan and I – Pat's going to be here in a second – we can suggest that Bob Dole would not be the best person to deliver a letter to a conservative talk show host without disparaging his service in the United States military. Nice try Senator McCain, not going to work." (MSNBC's "Morning Joe," 2/5/08)
