Pass the Kool-Aid

In my last posting I said it’s going to be close and, at least for the popular vote, there is some recent confirmation. According to Dick Morris, the Friday Zogby poll of 1,000 likely voters put McCain ahead 48-47. And he's closing the gap in Pennsylvania. I’m not going so far as to predict a McCain victory, but the fat lady is just warming up.

Since reneging on his promise to abide by public finance rules, Obama has raised more money than was spent by both candidates combined in 2004.
Newsmax.com reports that 118 donors appear to not be US citizens and hundreds more have “yellow flags” such as no Social Security number or a known US address. Federal law requires donors to be US citizens or permanent residents.

That investigation focused only on donors disclosed by the Obama campaign. But it has taken $218 million from donors it refuses to disclose.
McCain has posted all of his donations on his website.

We’re used to the double standard, but still have to ask, where is the media outrage? Where is the righteous indignation about “buying the presidency” and possible illegal contributions? Well, we know the answer.

Actually, there is nothing wrong with raising lots of money, as long as it’s legal. The problem is that there are legitimate concerns about the legality of some of these donations. Some have been traced to Nigeria, Kenya and Europe.

This brings us back to the question of who this guy really is. Who are his friends? Admitted and unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers. Rev. “God damn America” Wright. Convicted felon Tony Rezko. A former deputy of Louis Farrakhan says that Obama had “an open line” to the Nation of Islam leader.

How can it be that America appears to be on the verge of electing this man to the Office of President of the United States? Pass the kool-Aid, Rev. Jones.
