A look at current events from the point of a view of a Conservative Evangelical Christian who stands firmly on the Word of God (that's the Bible for those of you at Berkley) and stands behind the Constitution of the United States of America. So grab yourself a big cup of java, kick back in your chair and enjoy another member of the "vast right wing conspiracy" making his voice heard.

Lets not forget Lehman

Since today apparently was the last day of Lehman Brother's existence as they file Chapter 11...i thought i would add the list of political donations from this bank over the last 20 years. Once again, i will only show a partial list from Open Secrets that will include our two major candidates.

Members of the 110th Congress who have received campaign contributions from Lehman Brothers, 1989-2008

Now, where should i begin????? The first two on the list...Hillary and Barack Hussein Obama; both taking in more than twice as much as Sen. John McCain. But let's not forget Joe Biden down there with Dianne Feinstein, Evan Bayh and Rahm Emanuel. Don't forget though, these are donations over a 20 year period and Obama came on the national scene at the 2004 DNC Convention. Change? No...just right him a check!
