Raines was CEO! Davis IS CURRENTLY on McCain's CAMPAIGN STAFF.

Franklin Raines was CEO and that was from 1999 to 2004. Rick Davis was getting checks from Freddie Mac while being on McCain's campaign staff as recently as August. Try again.

Sarah Palin who recently said, "When you run for office, your life is an open book." McCain Camp: No Palin Medical Records Till After The Election from The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan by Andrew Sullivan This Howie Kurtz piece is amazing in many ways but there is one staggering piece of real news buried in it: "Governor Palin has no history of health problems," [McCain campaign spokesman Michael] Goldfarb says. "We believe that a candidate should be able to preserve some privacy in this process, and we're confident the American people will validate that judgment come election day." So the only objective evidence we will be allowed to have about Palin's medical history, including the bizarre story of her fifth pregnancy, is Michael Goldfarb's assurance that she has "no history of health problems" and that "privacy" trumps even basic transparency and accountability in a national campaign.

An article in Newsweek has now revealed that McCain's campaign manager, Rick Davis, was receiving monthly $15,000 checks until last month from Freddie Mac, the mortgage agency that the government recently took over. In addition, the head of McCain's transition team, William Timmons, Sr., was a registered lobbyist for Freddie Mac until this month according to an article on Bloomberg News. His firm received $260,000 this year for unspecified work. Although McCain likes to rail against lobbyists and how he will put them in their place, having his campaign being run by people who lobbied for Freddie Mac cuts to the heart of his pitch as a reformer. This story is soon going to be all over the place (see for example, Newsday, the NY Times, and Roll Call).

Again, Why would any business expand in the current market?

I would imagine that depends on the speed you're traveling. What about regenerative braking?

and Palin's husband was in an Alaska separatist movement until 2001.... you obviously don't care about an even closer association.

Great... so they're more productive... and pay less taxes.... BUT THEY STILL HAVE NO CUSTOMERS!@!!!!!!

Protoss Dragoon?

That's just dumb..... ... so I've driven 40 miles... and now I'm stuck in traffic. The gasoline motor is still running but not doing anything other than creeping me along at 5mph when it could be using that excess energy to recharge the batteries. Sorry, if this is true, GM just lost me on the Volt.

who'd he bang to get the rugrat?

I need to get one of the new "Geezer \ Gigit '08" signs

I have a shell casing about that size <don't know the actual size> on my mantle from 1917 that my great uncle fired.

I'll say it again.... tax breaks for companies won't amount to a hill of beans if there aren't people to buy the products they produce

It's like I have a freakin crystal ball or something!

Obama's tax plan is mostly neutral though slightly negative. McCain's is VERY negative. McCain will be a fiscal conservative out of necessity... there won't be anything left to spend.

but... but... She's a good mother with strong family values, has foreign relations experience, loves moose and polar bears!* *as long as you look past her drug snorting, knocked up kids, huband with a DWI, the moose burgers in her freezer, her action against protecting the endangered polar bears, and that the sum total of her foreign experience includes being able to see Russia from her back porch.

I want to test drive a Cobalt SS and an HHR SS, just for the hell of it.

yeah, I heard BMW was planning on axing it's long time best selling 1-series RWD sedan after sales have dropped off. oh.... wait.....

ZOMG! It's front propeller drive and has a b-pillar! Look at that ugly overhang! :yuck: (kidding)

Did you know that Obama is a Muslim and he took the oath of office on a Koran and that his baptist minister hates America for making Obama wear a flag lapel pin on his ancestral African clothes given to him when he was in a Muslim school in Indonesia holding McCain as a POW by drawing a cross in the sand on Christmas Eve while Osama Bin Laden was watching and clinging to his religion and guns?

Fixed. and yes, it was me. Carter started an alternative energy push back in '77 and '78. He had solar panel installed on the roof of the Whitehouse. Reagan promptly had them removed. There wouldn't have been a second Iraq war because there wouldn't have been a first one. There wouldn't have been a 9-11. There wouldn't have been our war in Afghanistan. The power of Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Venezuela, Russia, would have all been wiped out.

Your sarcasm detector is very broken. I detest Sarah Evita Palin

What kind of range do these things get?
