Follow The UAE Ports Money Right To FOB (Friends/Family of Bush)…

Bill Simon, Friday, February 24th, 2006

I said it in an earlier post that there was something mighty fishy about Bush’s stance on threatening the veto on a possible bill that might block the takeover of American ports by the UAE. There was way too much passion in his reaction.

That, combined with the fact that he didn’t even know about the impending deal until it hit the newspapers, tells me, again, that something’s up.

And, you know what? Turns out I was right to be suspicious. Why? Because there is a money trail relationship between the Bush family and the United Arab Emirates.

Fool Me Once, Shame on You…Fool Me Twice, Call Me A Racist?

Bill Simon, Wednesday, February 22nd, 2006

Because, with $6.8 Billion on the line if the sale of the port managment company goes through and is taken over by the United Arab Emirates, something smells mighty fishy coming out of the Bush White House right now with their reaction and amazement that any member of Congress would DARE question the President’s decision. Mighty fishy.

Special Memo to the Senate Panel Looking at Abramoff, Reed, and Norquist

Bill Simon, Wednesday, February 22nd, 2006

I previously reported about the article in the Kansas City Star regarding a likely new investigation into Jack Abramoff using non-profit 501(c)(3) organizations to launder money from Indian casinos to people like [tag]Ralph Reed[tag].
In that Star article (see post below), Ralph is quoted as denying he ever knew the true source of the funds that […]

Ralph Reed: “One person who has shamed the evangelical community.”

Bill Simon, Friday, February 17th, 2006

Marvin Olasky of the WORLD Christian Magazine takes Ralph Reed and Ralph’s primary evangelical in-kind, Dr. James Dobson, to task in his latest posting on the Abramoff-Reed affair.

It’s Official: Ralph Reed Gets Served With A Subpoena By The Feds

politicalvine, Tuesday, February 14th, 2006

Rumors have it that Ralph Reed and Grover Norquist have been subpoened in connection with an ever-expanding federal probe into the illegal money laundering and influence-peddling fallout of Jack Abramoff.

More Lies from Ralph To Be Exposed Soon?

Bill Simon, Monday, February 13th, 2006

The investigation into Ralph’s lobbying of Texas officials is getting closer to the bone for Ralph. Here’s the excerpt from the blog:

Commissioner Sam Olens: A Sneaky Guy If There Ever Was One

politicalvine, Thursday, February 9th, 2006

Rumors have it that Cobb County Commission Chairman Sam “The Sneak” Olens has had his new tax on Cobb County property owners held in reserve for more than a year until he got the SPLOST passed last September.

Newt Gingrich and Ralph Reed: Holding Hands…Making All Kinds of Plans…

politicalvine, Sunday, January 29th, 2006

Now, the IRONY to all of this is that we have a serial liar like Ralph Reed (”I didn’t know my money came from Indian casinos”…”I am not a lobbyist, so I don’t have to register”…”I was duped just like all of the other Christians were by my friends Jack Abramoff and Grover Norquist”…) being highly praised by an adulterer/liar like Newt Gingrich (who apparently thinks Ralph will help him get elected President), all on the same day a bill that promotes the posting of the Ten Commandments on government buildings in Georgia gets dropped. The irony is just too sweet.

Ralph Reed To Casey Cagle: I’m Gonna Get You, Sucka!

politicalvine, Tuesday, January 24th, 2006

Rumors have it that the Ralph Reed Campaign for Lt. Governor is laying the groundwork for an all out offensive against Casey Cagle, his primary opponent.
According to an AP story, Reed stated “his campaign will soon turn to defining the differences between him and Cagle.”
There are also rumors that the Reed campaign has been conducting […]

Will Tom Price Run Straight Into The Hatch Act?

politicalvine, Saturday, January 21st, 2006

Rumors have it that Congressman Tom Price (R-GA) has his reelection campaign humming right along…straight out of his Cobb County (federal) district office.

Rumors abound about how his district personnel, upon waking-up to a challenge-candidate out of Cherokee County, have spent the last several months shaking-down businesses and associations and encouraging them that if they don’t block John Konop from making any headway, they will be “cut-off” from any help from (and, we quote) “The Congressman.”

The Fall of The House of Ralph (Reed)

politicalvine, Friday, January 20th, 2006

Rumors have it that 9 members of Lt. Governor candidate Ralph Reed’s Steering Committee recently flipped sides in the race.

The nine were listed on Reed’s big list released last spring. However, they recently sent this letter to the Reed campaign:

“As you are aware, our names were listed as members of the Reed for Lt. Governor Steering Committee released by your campaign to the news media. We write today to request our names be removed from that list. Please know that our decision to support Senator Casey Cagle’s campaign is in no way an attempt to undermine or criticize you. Rather, we believe that Casey’s combination of experience, electability, dedication

Pat Robertson & Ray Nagin: Twin Sons of Different Mothers

Bill Simon, Tuesday, January 17th, 2006

First, it was Pat Robertson proclaiming that Israel Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s stroke two weeks ago was caused by (and, I quote) “God’s punishment for Sharon trying to divide the land of Israel.”
Now, it’s Mayor Ray Nagin of New Orleans proclaiming that God sent the hurricanes to his city and the Gulf Coast because He […]
