From the eskimo village of Sishmariff you can see a number of islands offshore that belong to Russia. We flew over them once by accident, Russian soldiers just waved.

Ifshin never renounced nor apologized for his radical past. McCain said of Ifshin, &amp;quot;We worked together for our shared ideals.&amp;quot; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There's Carl H. Lindner Jr., billionaire CEO of Chiquita Brands Int'l (1984 to 2001) who remained on the company’s board of directors until May 2002. As co-host of a fundraiser for John McCain, Lindner oversaw the payment of roughly $1.7 million to a Colombian paramilitary group that is designated a terrorist organization by the USA -- admitted to illegally funding the paramilitaries, agreed to pay a $25M fine. When company officials realized the arrangement was illegal, they switched to making the payments in cash. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Lindner co-hosted a $25K-per-person fundraiser for McCain and the GOP in a wealthy Indian Hills neighborhood of Cincinnati. The event raised about $2M; Lindner serves on McCain’s Ohio Victory Team. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;McCain has described FARC as &amp;quot;one of the worst&amp;quot; terrorist groups and accused Obama, of being unwilling to support Colombian President Uribe’s anti-terrorist efforts. The Arizona Republican is raising funds from a man whose company once paid that very same terrorist group. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There’s G. Gordon Liddy - fundraiser/contributor for John McCain. Liddy, a self-professed admirer of Adolf Hitler and CONVICTED FELON for his part in the Watergate Scandal, is a long-time friend, says John McCain, who also said to Liddy, &amp;quot;I’m proud of you.&amp;quot;:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGRvo6LWuaY"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGRvo6LWuaY&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QIGJTHdH50"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QIGJTHdH50&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAyK-enrF1g"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAyK-enrF1g&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The REAL John McCain:&lt;br&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/make_believe_maverick_the_real_john_mccain"&gt;http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/make_believe_maverick_the_real_john_mccain&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;---------&lt;br&gt;You TELL'em Joe Biden.

The American people should write a letter to this group showing their dismay of there lack of humility. They can be contacted by phone 909.981.0493 or fax 909.982.6880. You can even write to P.O. Box 974, Upland, CA 91785. MSNBC YOU BETTER POST THIS COMMENT. They just had a meeting at Magic Lamp Inn, Rancho Cucamongo and guess who there special guest was?????? None other than KARL ROVE!!! Surprising?? Not in the least. The same person giving JOHN MCSHAME talking points during his campaign. You want to talk about affiliations. GIVE ME A BREAK. These people are despicable! </description></item><item><title>Warm-up act</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/firstread/archive/2008/10/16/1559479.aspx#1560086</link><pubDate>Fri, 17 Oct 2008 04:40:32 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1560086</guid><dc:creator>hopeful in hawaii</dc:creator><description>I posted several times last night and nothing got published...what's the point?</description></item><item><title>Warm-up act</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/firstread/archive/2008/10/16/1559479.aspx#1560116</link><pubDate>Fri, 17 Oct 2008 05:17:05 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1560116</guid><dc:creator>Sarge, Mount Aukum, Ca.</dc:creator><description>If someone is making more than 250,000.00, they can afford to pay taxes. &amp;nbsp;This is no different than President Clinton did when he was in office.

And Hardball had Moran on last night blatantly calling this election over, and then having to backtrack into double speak as Matthews showed him the clip of Obama saying not to take anything for granted.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And after the debate the other night, Clinton was constantly referring to the nominee as &amp;quot;President Obama.&amp;quot; The first time it sounded okay - just usual political optimism. But I think she said it three more times.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I can see now why Obama is the party's nominee.
