&amp;nbsp;Not surprisingly the moderators never seem to get that question on the floor for the Dems. &amp;nbsp;Isn't that interesting? &amp;nbsp;Maybe the media is for amnesty for illegals and so they won't put the issue out. &amp;nbsp;Maybe the candidates are afraid of being questioned on that issue so that Americans can see the sell out they are doing to go after Hispanic votes. &amp;nbsp;Whose America is this anyway? &amp;nbsp;illegal aliens or American citizens? &amp;nbsp;Who do our reps work for -- Mexico or America? &amp;nbsp;Sure is hard to tell these days.</description></item><item><title>Obama, Romney Iowa ads</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/07/31/298886.aspx#299070</link><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jul 2007 19:20:08 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:299070</guid><dc:creator>GWB</dc:creator><description>Both are naive, inexperienced and irresponsible. </description></item><item><title>Obama, Romney Iowa ads</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/07/31/298886.aspx#299095</link><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jul 2007 19:32:22 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:299095</guid><dc:creator>Jeff Morgan, Austin, TX</dc:creator><description>On a side note, I think having people talk about the candidate is more powerful than an announcer. &amp;nbsp;In Obama's case, the Iowa add &amp;quot;Choices&amp;quot; that had a some senators saying things about him. &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4EqFc0DtL8"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4EqFc0DtL8&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Such a different tone between these two ads...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Democrat or Republican, Bill Clinton or Ronald Reagan, a positive tone and friendliness are the way to go. &amp;nbsp;Even George W. was considered a guy you would drink a beer with. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This Romney ad fights for a deteriorating base, which I can understand, but honestly I was expecting Nicholas Cage to come flying through a glass window in SWAT gear. &amp;nbsp;Exaggeration, but you get the idea.</description></item><item><title>Obama, Romney Iowa ads</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/07/31/298886.aspx#299104</link><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jul 2007 19:37:18 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:299104</guid><dc:creator>TEC-Spring-TX</dc:creator><description> jjGA, why is the current administration not already enforcing the immigration laws? They have made a couple of high profile raids and then nothing. I do not think they want to spend any money for enforcement.

I wouldn't get too excited yet, though, as this is only one poll and I don't think ARG has a great reputation. Plus Obama had a great week, and sometimes when that happens the polls jump and then settle back a little - kind of like a mini-convention effect. Still its a positive indicator in those two states.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But... ARG also shows data for Iowa, where Obama did gain a couple points, but is still well behind. Hopefully this ad buy will get things moving there, too.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Edwards took a big dip in this Iowa ARG poll. Clinton seems to be strong there - maybe her bought-n-paid-for surrogate still carries some weight.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Will be interesting to see if other polls are showing a little movement, too. And if so, will be interesting to see how much Bill Clinton seems to be able to contain the bleeding. The Obama campaign ought to be paying his airfare for more trips abroad, lol.</description></item><item><title>Obama, Romney Iowa ads</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/07/31/298886.aspx#299719</link><pubDate>Wed, 01 Aug 2007 04:18:27 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:299719</guid><dc:creator>George, Seattle</dc:creator><description>For those in the know, Obama is taking a bit of a dig at Hillary Clinton. &amp;nbsp;She not only takes PAC money for her campaign but but is also enriched by Bill Clinton's $100,000 to $400,000 speaking fees in front of PACs and lobby groups. &amp;nbsp; Since 2000, Bill Clinton has been paid $41 million by pretty much every lobby group that you can imagine. &amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;$150,000 from &amp;quot;America's Health Insurance Plans&amp;quot; which is a lobby group for the health insurance company. &amp;nbsp; $150,000 from the &amp;quot;American council of Shopping Centers&amp;quot;, another $150,000 from &amp;quot;American Dairy/Dely&amp;quot;,and $150,000 from the &amp;quot;National Multi Family council&amp;quot;. &amp;nbsp;He charged the &amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;Woman's International Zionist Organization (WIZO)&amp;quot; $125,000 to say &amp;quot;I would die for Israel.&amp;quot; &amp;nbsp; This is in addition to collecting big bucks from Chinese companies who Hillary offered tariff reduction bills for, computer companies who will make a lot from the rural internet project, Novo Nordisk who will make money from her proposed bills for diabetes screening funds, and on and on and on.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Check out the article &amp;quot;Clinton's Golden Voice&amp;quot; in the Washington Post. &amp;nbsp; This is all very well documented in Hillary's financial reports (although contributions to Bill's &amp;quot;foundation&amp;quot; do not have to be reported, nor does the millions that he has made from the company who does CNNs polling.) &amp;nbsp; I presume that her reports are accurate now, her first campaign director was indicted for lying on the first batch of them (from her Senate campaign.)</description></item><item><title>Obama, Romney Iowa ads</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/07/31/298886.aspx#300764</link><pubDate>Wed, 01 Aug 2007 20:56:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:300764</guid><dc:creator>HMT MI</dc:creator><description>Watched Greta interview the 5 cowarly Romney sons.They are having a great time in their big bad motor home.Turned it off as it was so sugary to watch while the rest of our families are getting blown up in Iraq.Have a weak stomach-----</description></item></channel></rss>
