Barack Obama broke his promise to accept public financing, but don’t worry, he’s not like the others:

The presumptive Democratic nominee says his 1.5 million donors represent a real grassroots campaign. “What we’ve built frees ourselves from special interests,” he said, unlike Republican John McCain’s operation, which Obama said is based on big donors and lobbyists.

Of course, when Obama lies, the NY Times is at the ready with a quick hallelujah!  However, a quick examination of the facts tells another story:

Obama’s team in Nevada, put together last summer to help him with the state’s January caucuses, included at least two Nevada lobbyists: one that represented Barrick Gold of North America, a mining company that also lobbies in Washington, and another whose clients included U.S. Airways, Corrections Corp. of America and consulting company Accenture, which lobby in Washington.

Barack thinks we’re as dumb as he looks standing behind his fake presidential seal.  Special interests are going to play a major role in politics no matter how many laws are passed.  Barack’s nose is a lot longer after telling these whoppers.

John Kerry has a primary challenger. Edward O’Reilly, a lawyer and former firefighter, earned a spot on the ballot with 23% of the vote. Although embarrassing Kerry with a vote for O’Reilly is tempting, I say perish the thought. When choosing between two socialists, it’s wisest to take the layabout. Ed sounds like he’ll show up for work. As experience has proven, the lazy Kerry will do far less damage eating bacon wrapped scallops on Nantucket.

Therefore, I endorse John Kerry in the Democratic primary as the candidate most likely to cause the least damage.
