Amazing how this first issue gets play, doesn't get play, etc, etc, like a yo-yo to be used by the media to trot out whenever they need it, or ignore for weeks (and years) at a time, right?
It's a BRIEF here, folks!
"McCain's wife sells Sudan investments"
"WASHINGTON - Cindy McCain, whose husband has been a critic of the violence in Sudan, is selling off more than $2 million in mutual funds whose holdings include companies that do business in the African nation.
The sale came after the Associated Press questioned the investments in light of calls by John McCain for international financial sanctions against the Sudanese leadership.
According to McCain's personal financial disclosure, Cindy McCain's investments include two mutual funds that are listed by the Sudan Divestment Task Force as targets for divestment.
"Those have been sold as of today," McCain spokesman Brian Rogers said (AP)."
Ah, hypocrite McCain.
And what about that girl you where helping or seeing, Johnny?
Of course, with hypocrite politicians come hypocrite businesses, which are far more powerful ($$$) in the grand scheme of things:
"More Fidelity funds reject genocide-linked proposal"
"Shareholders of six more Fidelity Investments funds rejected a proposal to halt investments in companies linked to genocide, bringing to 12 the number of funds to block the idea floated by activists. The rejection of the proxy proposal at the world's biggest mutual fund company demonstrates the difficulty activists face in linking investments to social and moral issues, even as pressure grows on companies and governments to cut investment ties with companies doing business in places such as Sudan (Reuters)."
Yeah, who cares about GENOCIDE when $$$$ is to be MADE?
Oh, the same holds for Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel, Palestine, and on and on where the U.S. plies their god-awful weapons of death!
Chew on that one for a while before moving on, 'eh?
Maybe we ought to boycott our own war machine and that which we fund in Israel for starters, huh?
Naaaaah!
And not to neglect a hypocrite media, readers:
"McCain tops 80 percent in Nebraska primary"
John McCain has finally broken the 80 percent benchmark in a primary.In a two-man race Tuesday with Ron Paul in Nebraska, McCain won 87 percent of the vote to 13 percent for Paul.
In a bigger field of candidates in West Virginia, however, McCain reached 76 percent. Mike Huckabee won 10 percent, Paul got 5 percent, Mitt Romney won 4 percent, and Rudy Giuliani grabbed 2 percent.
McCain is still trying to unite Republicans behind him - a process made more difficult by Paul's strong showings at state conventions around the country and the continuing anti-McCain vote in primaries (Boston Globe May 15 2008)."
What, safe to let Ron Paul into your pages again?
I'm insulted when they mention him now, readers, after they dissed and insulted him for so long.
Dr. Ron is better than me, because he wouldn't get angry and swear like me!
But I'm not him, I'm me!!!!
Oh, yeah, let me stick Obama to you one more time because the AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT HIM!!!!!!!!
