Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Latest Govt Action

[JAshburne (JAshburne]

This is exactly the type of information that needs to be understood about  
the candidates but is often neglected by so called "journalists" who  
conveniently ignore and don't report on things that don't support their  
agenda.  And 
the "journalists" unfortunately do have an agenda.  It is  nearly impossible to 
find real factual reporting these days in either the print  or broadcast media.
 
Anyone who doesn't think that Obama is more of the same old politician out  
of the Chicago Daly/Stroger political machine should read "The Case Against  
Obama" by David Freddoso.  You can tell by the title that it is not the  
adoring 
puffball media treatment that Obama has been accustomed to. But the  book is 
a well researched and extensively documented, with footnotes, history of  
Obama that is far more accurate than anything that you would ever see from 
Chris  
"Tingles Up My Leg" Matthews of the National Barack Channel (NBC) or the  rest 
of the fawning mainstream crowd.  It also is better  balanced and more 
rigorously researched IMO than "The Obama Nation"  that seems to have gotten 
more of 
the spotlight.
 
In my opinion the only way to understand a politician's true philosophy is  
to examine his or her actual actions, voting record and legislative  
initiatives rather than what is said in the heat of a political campaign.   
While 
Obama's record is thinner than every other candidate who has run for  President 
in 
modern times, there is more than enough for a discerning voter to  learn 
everything that needs to be known about his political leanings.   Let's just 
say 
that he is no Ronald Reagan disciple.
 
It is absolutely critical and an obligation of every voter to take the time  
to really get to know each of the candidates before making the choice.   Look 
beyond the slick media campaigns to see the real person, understand his  views 
towards capitalism, taxation, welfare, national defense, the interests of  
the U.S. in foreign affairs and the role of government in our everyday  lives.  
Look, learn, then decide.
 
And, in the true spirit of Chicago politics, "Vote early and vote  often"!

Oops.  Not true.  Go to OpenSecrets.org and look at their  
Contributions  page:
<http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/contrib.php?cycle=2008&cid=N00009638>
Select McCain or Obama to view the top contributors  to 
each.  Note, these are not contributions directly from these  companies, 
rather the money came from the organization's PAC, its  individual members 
or employees or owners, and those individuals'  immediate families.  All 
this info was compiled from Federal Election  Commission data.
You'll see that many  financial institutions are in the top 20 
givers to both candidates, with  most giving Obama 2 or 3 times the amount 
they gave to  McCain.
