Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild - A former Clinton supporter - to endorse McCain

In a stunning move sure to ruffle the DNC's feathers, Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a former Hillraiser who rounded up over $100,000 for the Hillary Clinton campaign will now be endorsing senator John McCain. Forester de Rothschild, who is the CEO of EL Rothschild, a holding company with businesses around the world is married to international banker Sir Evelyn de Rothschild. In an interview with CNN this summer, Lady Forester de Rothshild stated the following as her reason for not shifting her support to Barack Obama: “This is a hard decision for me personally because frankly I don't like him. I feel like he is an elitist."

And Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild knows an elitist when she see's one. she can spot one from her 3,200-acre Rothschild family estate in Buckinghamshire, or from her tiny little condo (probably a studio) in New York. She could spot an elitist when she honeymooned at the White House in 2000, and she can spot one now. So she fits right in line with John McCain who has long called Obama an elitist. I mean, seriously, how elitist can this guy get? He's had every advantage in the world; he's a black male, who grew up without a father, was bounced around from Kansas, to Hawaii, to Indonesia in his youth, and was paying off student loans up until a few years ago. ELITIST!

Meanwhile, Obama was endorsed yesterday by 6 Women's Rights Groups: The Feminist Majority Foundation, the National Organization for Women, Business and Professional Women/USA, the National Association of Social Workers, the National Congress of Black Women and the Women's Information Network.

Were you aware of any of that? No? Well, apparently neither were many of the major media outlets in the nation. CNN, who has highlighted the Lady Forester de Rothshild endorsement has as of today, failed to make note of it. Not that the opinions of tens of thousands of women can even come close to the importance of the opinion of Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild. If you'd like to know more about Lady Rothschild, have a read of the below article which prefaced an interview she did with Politico.com - you'll clearly see that we need to listen to this women about how much of an elitist Obama is. I pasted the story directly as the link is a little funky and makes your computer want to cry. I'll keep checking CNN Tabloid news to see if they care to mention those 6 women's rights groups.

From Politico.com

When 67-year-old British banking scion Sir Evelyn Rothschild first set eyes on 44-year-old Lynn Forester at the 1998 Bilderberg conference—the matchmaker was none other than Henry Kissinger—she was already a woman of major means.A corporate lawyer and telecommunications entrepreneur, the sparkly blond ex-wife of former New York politician Andrew Stein had made more than $100 million from the sale of cleverly acquired wireless broadband licenses. She was also sexy, charming, and dazzlingly well connected. Two years later, after the smitten Sir Evelyn divorced his second wife, Victoria Schott, the mother of his three children, Forester became the third Lady Rothschild.

After marrying in November 2000 at a London synagogue, they honeymooned at the White House, guests of Lynn's good friends Bill and Hillary Clinton.Today the New Jersey-born Lady de Rothschild—the flashiest hostess in London—is mates with Tony and Cherie Blair, among other topflight Britons. She's also mistress of the former John Singer Sargent home in Chelsea and of Ascott House, the 3,200-acre Rothschild family estate in Buckinghamshire, and the chief executive of E.L. Rothschild, the holding company that she owns with her third husband to manage investments in the Economist and various enterprises in India. Those include FieldFresh, a startup that will grow and export Indian fruits and vegetables for markets in Europe and Asia, and a soon-to-be-announced retail venture aimed at the exploding Indian middle class.

In July, Sir Evelyn completed the sale of his stake in the centuries-old English branch of the Rothschild banking empire (for a reported $600 million)—which frees up a lot of capital for them to be major players in the Indian business world.

McCain overtakes Obama in the polls - finally!

Has anyone out there ever taken a poll? I have never in my life taken a poll for a politcal race, or any other reason? What's more than that...I don't know anyone else that has either. Are the same 800 people taking these polls every week, or are these polling places just going, "oh yeah, we asked 942 people who they'll vote for and here's what they said...and here's a margin of error since we really didn't ask anybody."

And who are these 4-10% of people that are undecided? Clearly the only reasonable choice in this election is McCain. In case you didn't know, he's a war hero, and a Maverick. And in true Top Gun reference mode, I am happy to see that "Maverick" found his "Goose" (Palin). I mean McCain is the candidate of experience, and the candidate of change. He's a reformer who's voted with Bush 100% of the time so far this year, but remains a maverick for calling himself a reformer when evidence clearly indicates otherwise. He can be the attack dog, but has managed to make it 'unfair' if he's attacked. Clearly, according to himself, he is the candidate for everything. And the best thing is, he doesn't even have to tell us how...he's that good. How could you still be undecided? The answer is clear.

And why don't they have a Vice President Poll? I want to see a poll where they ask if the presidential nominee for each party were incapacitated, who would you rather have running the country - Biden or Palin? I want me some Sarah Palin! Ever since she came on board, the republican party has really shown all those "celebrity worshipping" Obama followers, that you can't just vote for someone who's...a celebrity. Oh, and did you see the latest People and Us magazine photos of Palin? OMG - Fabulous!

How about a poll on hypocracy? ....Anyone? ....Bueller? ....Yeah, I thought not.

John McCain's Acceptance Speech

I thought John McCain's acceptance speech tonight, USA USA USA USA, was incredibly, USA USA USA, long, which means he has a lot to, USA USA USA USA USA USA say.  Many critics of McCain, USA USA USA USA, have said that he hasn't presented the issues, USA USA USA, but tonight he showed, USA USA, that USA USA USA USA, that he knows what the issues are, USA USA USA.  

His message will, USA USA USA, clearly invigorate, USA USA USA USA, hockey moms, USA USA USA, Nascar fans, USA USA USA, Formula 1 fans, USA USA, Motocross fans, USA USA USA, monster truck fans, USA USA USA, and all sorts of people USA USA, that have looked at the last eight years, and said, "Thank you sir, can I have another" USA USA USA!

CNN shows the GOP's diversity.

Thank God for CNN's honest and fair look at the GOP delegates at the Republican National Convention. There has been so much negative talk about how the crowd gathered at the RNC, and the Republican Party, are just a bunch of old white guys. Thanks to some stellar camera work and production at CNN, you know better, if you've been watching. Almost every third shot of the crowd, featured a black person. In fact, both African Americans in attendance were featured almost more than images of Presidential hopeful McCain. Where's the diversity you ask? How about the young white guys, or even the young white woman that were shown? CNN made sure that we were aware of the presence of the young Republican voters out there, catching all of them on camera, before they carpooled home in their Chevy Malibu, following the evenings final speech by Democrat-turned republican-but still technically democrat-but Pro John McCain-despite agreeing with him on nothing- Joe Lieberman.

While some may just see an ocean of old white guys, I saw diversity. Even in their featured music performance of the evening, the Republicans reached out with a performer who appeals to all Americans, regardless of race, color, or religion, with Christian singer/songwriter Rachael Lampa. Lampa's inspired performances made every American want to put down their New Testiment for just a moment and cheer.

While other news orginizations tried to say their wasn't diversity, CNN found it, thus joining the ranks of the big boy, fair news sources, like Fox News. So while other networks may claim that this is not as diverse a party as the Democrats, CNN proved that in the midst of the Red tie, very White, and Blue haired crowed, there was also a dash of black, a dollip of brown, and a Jew giving a speech.
