I wrote my Congressman....er I mean Senator...... once about immigration and the rise in fule costs. As a matter of fact it was right after he was elected Senator, oh say about two years ago. It took about four months for him to get back to me with a form letter. On the other hand Sen. Dick Durbin had rec'd the same e-mails from his wed site and took him only three weeks to send his form letter.
I think maybe we are all being duped by all politicions.....
By the way the first Sen. was Obama, must have been to busy tring to starting his Pres. Campaign...............I repeat He has done nothing for the State of Illinois or this country......

Is this what you call telling the truth Holo Ltd ?
http://advanceindiana.blogspot.com/2008/09/obamas-wall-street-career-fabrication.html
Fiction:
"Nevertheless, as the months passed, I felt the idea of becoming an organizer slipping away from me. The company promoted me to the position of financial writer. I had my own office, my own secretary, money in the bank. Sometimes, coming out of an interview with Japanese financiers or German bond traders, I would catch my reflection in the elevator doors-see myself in a suit and tie, a briefcase in my hand-and for a split second I would imagine myself as a captain of industry, barking out orders, closing the deal, before I remembered who it was that I had told myself I wanted to be and felt pangs of guilt for my lack of resolve."
Fact:
" Obama didn't work for a consulting house. "It was a small company that published newsletters on international business. Like most newsletter publishers, it was a bit of a sweatshop. I’m sure we all wished that we were high-priced consultants to multinational corporations. But we also enjoyed coming in at ten, wearing jeans to work, flirting with our co-workers, partying when we stayed late, and bonding over the low salaries and heavy workload."
# "Barack’s job was to get copy from the country correspondents and edit it so that it fit into a standard outline." Armstrong says Obama was essentially a copy editor, not a business consultant.
"Armstrong doesn't recall Obama getting a promotion, but he knows he didn't have his own secretary, a claim he described as laughable. Only the company president had his own secretary. "Barack never left the office, never wore a tie, and had neither reason nor opportunity to interview Japanese financiers or German bond traders," Armstrong said."

Obama is a great speaker who has brought more youth to the vote than any person in history. He's also very intelligent, obviously.
Here's more about Palin from a conservative who backed her.
Palin should step down, conservative commentator says
Posted: 02:27 PM ET
From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney
(CNN) – Prominent conservative columnist Kathleen Parker, an early supporter of Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin, said Friday recent interviews have shown the Alaska governor is "out of her league" and should leave the GOP presidential ticket for the good of the party.
The criticism in Parker's Friday column is the latest in a recent string of negative assessments toward the McCain-Palin candidacy from prominent conservatives.
It was fun while it lasted," Parker writes. "Palin’s recent interviews with Charles Gibson, Sean Hannity, and now Katie Couric have all revealed an attractive, earnest, confident candidate. Who is clearly out of her league."
Palin's interview with Couric drew criticism when the Alaska governor was unable to provide an example of when John McCain had pushed for more regulation of Wall Street during his Senate career. Palin also took heat for defending her foreign policy credentials by suggesting Russian leaders enter Alaska airspace when they come to America. Palin was also criticized last week for appearing not to know what the Bush Doctrine is during an interview with Charlie Gibson.
“If BS were currency, Palin could bail out Wall Street herself," Parker also writes. "If Palin were a man, we’d all be guffawing, just as we do every time Joe Biden tickles the back of his throat with his toes. But because she’s a woman — and the first ever on a Republican presidential ticket — we are reluctant to say what is painfully true."
Parker, who praised McCain's "keen judgment" for picking Palin earlier this month and wrote the Alaska governor is a "perfect storm of God, Mom and apple pie," now says Palin should step down from the ticket.
“Only Palin can save McCain, her party, and the country she loves," Parker writes. She can bow out for personal reasons, perhaps because she wants to spend more time with her newborn. No one would criticize a mother who puts her family first. Do it for your country."
Parker's comments follow those by prominent conservatives David Brooks, George Will, and David Frum who have all publicly questioned Palin's readiness to be vice president.
"Sarah Palin has many virtues," Brooks wrote in a recent column. "If you wanted someone to destroy a corrupt establishment, she'd be your woman. But the constructive act of governance is another matter. She has not been engaged in national issues, does not have a repertoire of historic patterns and, like President Bush, she seems to compensate for her lack of experience with brashness and excessive decisiveness."
