New Ad Shows Obama in True Light

I was searching the internet today and found this ad by Our Country Deserves Better, it has become a viral hit on the internet. It's not so much what it says about America's most popular governor...It's what it says about Barack Obama.

"Sarah Palin Better Than Barack Obama"

Obama Looks For Teen Actresses to Play Incest-Rape Victims in Anti-Palin Ads

After the addition of Governor Sarah Palin to the Republican ticket earlier this month, the Obama Camp sent out ads looking for "break your heart" teen actresses to play incest-rape victims for their anti-Palin (and McCain) ads.

Needs of the Many posted the ad that was sent out to actresses in the Las Vegas area:

Here is the wording of the anti-Palin ad:

The actress should be 15-19, and “break your heart” without saying a word. Her role is that of a victim of incest or rape who is now pregnant, and “forced to keep her child b/c Roe v. Wade overturned means no exception for rape or incest.”

And, this is the candidate of hope and change?

By the way- McCain has made it clear that he supports abortion in cases of rape or incest. Governor Palin does not support abortion.

Sen John Cornyn Releases Bailout Statement

U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-Tex) released a statement this afternoon on the failure of the bill in the House:

"The American people demand accountability from Wall Street and deserve transparency when it comes to how their tax dollars are being spent. Many are angry about the current economic situation and frustrated about being presented with an all-or-nothing proposal. I share their anger and their frustrations. The perception surrounding this bill was that it rewarded Wall Street at the expense of Main Street, and I believe that was reflected in today's vote.

"However, simply doing nothing is not an option. The reality is that there has been too much partisanship in Washington, and too much excess by some in our financial markets. A major reason we find ourselves in the current situation is precisely because Congress did nothing to reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, when so many of us were calling for reform in recent years.

"It is my hope that the debate this week signals the beginning, and not the end, of a bipartisan effort by Congress to strengthen the economy. Both parties need to continue working together and improve this bipartisan plan to protect taxpayers, small businesses' access to affordable credit, and our economy in the global marketplace. At the same time, the Department of Justice must continue its investigation of those on Wall Street who may have broken the law and contributed to our financial problems.

"I for one am committed to working with members of both parties to do what is needed to get America back on more stable economic footing. To be clear, the current crisis must not be used as an excuse to grow the size of government and increase the tax burden on working Americans who value personal responsibility. Bigger government and higher taxes will only make matters worse, and not better. It is my hope that Congress can set the rancor and partisanship aside and get back to work for the American taxpayers."

SA Congressmen Divided On Bailout Plan

Members of the San Antonio Congressional delegation are as divided as America over that $700 billion Wall street bailout that went down to defeat today, and several of them crossed party lines to register their concerns, News Radio 1200 WOAI reports.

Even though Democrats pushed the bill, and House Speaker made an impassioned and highly partisan speech before the vote urging her fellow Democrats to support it, San Antonio area Democrats Ciro Rodriguez and Henry Cuellar voted 'no.'

"I could not in good conscience support a blank check to those who were irresponsible and got us into this position in the first place," Rodriguez said.

He criticized the bill for not reigning in 'million dollar a month' salaries for incompetent Wall Street executives, for not doing enough to protect middle class taxpayers, and for allowing 'tens of billions of dollars in handouts to be given to foreign investors.'

While Rodriguez and Cuellar were bucking their Speaker and voting 'no,' San Antonio Republican Lamar Smith bucked his fellow conservatives and voted 'yes.'

"This was not about bailing out Wall Street, it was about protecting American jobs, the financial security of families, and the financial future of our nation," Smith said. Smith said taxpayers stood to reap profits made by the investments when the market rebounds and the real estate backed notes begin to regain value.

The other Congressmen in the San Antonio area went more along party lines, with Republican Michael McCaul voting 'no' and Democrat Charles Gonzalez voting 'yes.'

Cornyn Responds To Noriega's Latest Ad

This past Friday, Rick Noriega a Democrat running for the U.S. Senate against John Cornyn in Texas, released a YouTube video saying John Cornyn received just under $4 million from the "financial industry" and says that Cornyn should return the money "and make a $4 million down payment on the bailout."

Well, if the financial industry's money is tainted like Noriega says, why did Noriega fail to say in the video that Democratic Senators also received money from the "Wall Street friends," including Hillary Clinton ($31 million), Barack Obama ($28 million), John Kerry ($19 million) and Chris Dodd ($13 million). Yet Noriega isn't asking these Senators to return this money. Hypocritical?

Cornyn's campaign spokesman Kevin McLaughlin responded, "Come on Rick, get with the game, this is a time for serious people. While John Cornyn is working in a bipartisan fashion to solve this financial crisis, Rick Noriega is in his basement producing angry, incoherent youtube videos."
