DNC Releases First Anti-McCain Ad
The Democratic National Committee has launched its first ad against presumptive GOP nominee Sen. John McCain.
The ad shows footage of McCain at a GOP debate in Los Angeles, Calif. at the Reagan Presidential Library. McCain answers the question of whether Americans are better off now than they were eight years ago. As McCain makes statements on the economy, text on the screen refutes each of his claims.
Visitors looking for the ad on the DNC Web site, are first taken to a fundraiser page that asks for contributions to help keep the ad on-air.
The ad will air for three weeks on MSNBC and CNN.

This ad is what you would expext out of Mr. Dean and his henchmen. That sorry piece of humanity is about the worst human being on the face of the earth. I hope he sleeps well in hell.

Not much to take from this ad except for it being a weak attack. I am sure the RNC will come up with something better and so will the DNC once it's super "D's" pick a candidate.

Judicial Watch Calls on FEC to Investigate
McCain Presidential Fundraising
Judic ial Watch , the publi c inter est group that inves tigat es and prose cutes gover nment corru ption , annou nced today that it filed a forma l compl aint, dated April 22, 2008, with the Feder al Elect ion Commi ssion ( FEC) relat ed to a fundr aisin g lunch eon held at Londo n's Spenc er House to benef it Senat or John McCai n's presi denti al campa ign The venue for the event was appar ently donat ed to the campa ign by forei gn natio nals, in viola tion of feder al campa ign finan ce laws
" Recen t news repor ts sugge st that Sen John McCai n and John McCai n for Presi dent may have accep ted an in- kind contr ibuti on from forei gn natio nals Lord Roths child OM GBE and the Hon Natha niel Roths child of Great Brita in in contr avent ion of feder al elect ion laws, " Judic ial Watch Presi dent Tom Fitto n wrote in a compl aint lette r dated April 22, 2008 "On behal f of Judic ial Watch and its suppo rters , I hereb y reque st that the FEC investigate the matter"
The McCain fundraiser was held on March 20, 2008 at London's Spencer House , billed as " London's most magnificent 18th century private palace" The McCain campaign distributed an invitation indicating that the site for the luncheon had been provided "by kind permission of Lord Rothchild , OMGBE and the Hon. Nathaniel Rothschild ," who are both foreign nationals In statements to the press , the McCain campaign referred to the luncheon as a " fundraiser"
While it is, as yet, un-clear how much money was raised during the luncheon, had the venue not been donated to the McCain campaign, the net profit from the event would have been significantly reduced The donation of the venue , therefore, repre sents an illegal in- kind campaign contribution
Accor ding to 2 USC § 441e, Contr ibuti ons and donat ions by forei gn natio nals, it is illeg al for any forei gn natio nal to " make a contr ibuti on or donat ion of money or other thing of value " to a Feder al, State or Local elect ion ( Judic ial Watch filed a simil ar compl aint on April 14, 2008, conce rning a fundr aiser by Elton John for Hilla ry Clint on's campa ign)
"The Clinton campaign recently accepted an in- kind contribution in the form of a fundraising concert by Elton John And now the McCain campaign has apparently run afoul of federal election laws with this foreign fundraiser The FEC must treat these incidents seriously, and hold any campaign that accepts contributions from foreign nationals accountable We cannot allow these presidential campaigns to play fast and loose with the law, " state d Judicial Watch President Tom Fitto.
For those who do not know who,
In November of 1910, after having consulted with Rothschild banks in England, France, and Germany. Senator Nelson Aldrich boarded a private train in Hoboken, New Jersey. His destination was Jekyll Island, Georgia, and a private hunting club owned by J.P Morgan.
Aboard the train were six other men: Benjamin Strong, President of Morgan's BAnkers Trust Company; Charles Norton, President of Morgan's First National Bank of New York; Henry Davidson, senoir partner of J.P Morgan; Frank Vanderlip, President of Kuhn Loeb's National City Bank of New York, A. Platt Andrew, Assistant Secretary of Treasury; and Paul Warburg
The devious planners of the revised bill titled it "Federal Reserve Act" to mask its real nature. It would create a system crontrolled by private individuals who would control the nation's issue of money. Furthermore, the Federal Reserve Board, composed of twelve districts and one director (The Federal Reserve Chairman) would control the nation's financial resources by controlling the money supply and available credit, all by mortgaging the government through borrowing.
Frank Vanderlip
"Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States. In the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it."
President Woodrow Wilson, September 4, 1912

The funny thing about this 'attack ad' is that there is a lot of data that supports McCain's claims. I for one am better off now than in the 1990's. Holding my breath to see if the BUSH tax cuts are allowed to expire... Folks with a median income need to understand what this will do to their take home pay!
