Welcome dollmaker. Looks like you are a newby....Oh and we do care about this...and there is something damaging on this video OR LA Times would not be witholding yet run the audio tape they had on Gov. Arnold. Get your facts straight and head over to KOS...they like you there and enjoy your LIB comments.
You said it all right here... The guy in OH or PA who's about to lose his job could care less... McPalin needs to spend MORE time talking about 0bama’s policies than this... It's tiring...
There’s a big potential for a gotcha in this. First, if what’s in the tape isn’t damaging enough to get voters’ attention. Secondly, the McCain campaign might be wasting time pursuing it. Less than a week until the election.
Hey.If McCain was as you say, Why would he be calling for the LA times to release it?
None of you new people have answered this question yet.
You won’t either.
Don’t worry about it “Conservative FReepers” McCain has not been involved with any of Obama’s terrorist friends and family. McCain has nothing to hide or he wouldn’t be requesting the tape.
This (McCain gave money to Khalidi crap) is a Huffington Post smear of McCain that Alan Colmes picked up and repeated as gospel to Sean Hannity. Any time Alan Colmes states a purported obscure 'fact' I trust him about as far as I can throw a grand piano. Colmes sandbagged Hannity with it, but I looked it up. The grant was NOT for Khalidi's PLO. It was for a pro-western democracy group, CPRS.
IRI Statement Regarding Work with Palestinians
For Immediate Release October 29, 2008
Washington, DC
Questions have arisen regarding the International Republican Institute?s (IRI) work with Palestinians in the 1990s.
In the 1990s, IRI gave grants to the Center for Palestinian Research and Studies (CPRS) for polling in the West Bank/Gaza. The polls measured support for the peace process, for various Palestinian political groups, and for efforts to enhance governance in the West Bank/Gaza. At that time no other organization could credibly conduct polling in the West Bank/Gaza.
We understand that Rashid Khalidi was one of the many founders of CPRS, and we understand that he was for some (unclear) amount of time a board member. IRI did not in the 1990s conduct background checks of grantees founders or board members. IRI did on a number of occasions vet CPRS as an organization, including, as was our custom, with the Israeli government, and we were given no cause for concern.
We do not recall any contact between Mr. Khalidi and IRI, and there is no evidence that Mr. Khalidi benefited in any way from IRI's grants.
Other organizations that reportedly gave funding to CPRS include the National Endowment for Democracy, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce?s Center for International Private Enterprise, the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations, the Japanese Embassy, and Germany?s Friedrich Naumann Stiftung.
IRI"s relationship with CPRS ended in 2000, and we understand that it no longer exists. http://www.iri.org/newsreleases/2008-10-29-IRI.asp
