Buzz this article up.

There are already a few groups damaging the election process, but there are also good investigative reporters exposing these groups. Please take a look at these.

In a new, ongoing report, the Center for Public Integrity compares "Freedom's Watch", a White House front group, with MoveOn. (While I don't agree with everything they say, they're genuinely grassroots.)

The Center for Investigative Reporting just released "Group with Clinton Ties Behind Dubious Robocalls"

For more background, check out good reports from the Center for Media and Democracy, here and here.

Looks like the second link in my previous post is no longer available. I guess they took it down because Obama supporters were doing a better job of destroying Hillary and Bill Clinton than their website was.

Why talk about MoveOn.org and FreedomWatch and not expose the original Swiftboaters?
Although John Kerry is the one who the group targeted because he was associated with Swift Boats, the original backers have moved to another Democratic candidate and have developed another goal and it seems that, with the aid of MoveOn.org, their plan is working.

I was interested to see Freedom's Watch discussed. This "grass roots" group is really a white-house front group composed of five people, Among them is Ari Fleischer, Bush's former press secretary and Sheldon Adelson, 3rd richest man in America with a net worth of $26 billion. Adelson is a gambling czar who owns several Las Vegas casinos. Check out the group's origins at:

Karl Rove and friends are saving up the big one when Obama gets nominated. They are going to bring out the Larry Sinclair fellatio in the back of the limo and Obama's "friendship" with murdered choir director Donald Young.

Yep. Bill knows that his wife lost the bid for the nomination but continues the charade because without it, Hillary has no use for him. This joke of a marriage is so over.

I believe it's a strong marriage based on mutual respect and the rarest of qualities, the ability to forgive and forget which both of the partners demonstrate. Bill was fortunate indeed in his choice of a life mate and the same could be said for Hillary. Their marriage and what they've already accomplished as a team is one of the marvels of our age but it will take some time before the sticks and stones crowd come to appreciate that.

When does Hillarys foregiveness for Bills affairs simply become acceptance? 2 times, 4 times? 10 times? How many affairs would it take for even the most loyal hillary supporter to wakeup and say she only stays in this marriage for political gain. Ask yourself how many times you would tolerate being cheated on by your spouse.

Likely just another part of the kneecapping strategy used by Clinton.
