The RNC has launched a new website “Obama-Rezko Shady Deal” which posts videos and all the latest news “pertaining to Barack Obama’s lack of judgment and questionable dealings with campaign fundraiser and convicted felon Tony Rezko.”
UPDATE: Thoughts from Viewpoint Journal:
Thank you for visiting Blogs For Victory. If you enjoy our content, please consider making a donation to help us cover the costs of our servers.Today the Obama Campaign released a new ad chiding Senator McCain for owning seven homes. Is this a sign of desperation or what?
It is true that when asked by Politico how many homes he owned, McCain did not know off the top of his head. That is because many of those homes belong to his wife, who was wealthy long before McCain married her 28 years ago.
I’m not sure if, in 2004, this line of attack was ever used by conservatives against Senator Kerry regarding his wife, Teresa Heinz-Kerry (another wealthy heiress with many homes), but this whole thing smacks of desperation. How so?
In the first place, Senator Obama’s Chicago home was bought in partnership with Tony Rezko who is, basically, the Jack Abramoff of Illinois. The whole purchase, and a subsequent sale of additional land adjacent to the Obama’s property for a price lower than market value, is still under a cloud. Tony Rezko himself was convicted of multiple crimes of corruption with perhaps more charges to come.

Hey Kahn,
Using Bush’s definition, McCain wasn’t tortured — just “aggressively interrogated.”
Rich,
It’s quite simple. The difference between the Rezko issue and the Keating 5 issue is that Obama hasn’t been accused, implicated, censured, indicted or convicted of any crime.
McCain, on the other hand, has. Yes, it was a long time ago, but he hasn’t learned from his mistake. His campaign staff is chock-full of lobbyists. You can’t parse his actions from “McMavericky” straight-thinking vs. being bought off.
Every election is getting so tiresome. You can’t win on ideas, so you dream up smears and fearsro. There’s an “Obama death list” now floating about the internet. And 70% of the list are people that Hillary and Bill supposedly killed back when the list was floated in the mid-1990s.
You wingnuts are some of the most dishonorable people I’ve ever witnessed.rout
Xavier,
What gets tiresome is the way you Democrats keep nominating incompetant, inexperienced people you think can BS their way into the White House, and then you get mad at us for pointing out their flaws….
But an obviously senile old man is somehow the right choice for 2008. No flaws there, except he can hardly get anything important right (the borders of Pakistan, the movement of peoples across the Iranian border, that Czechoslovakia is now two separate countries, the number of houses he owns)….
Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb bomb Iran… heh, heh, my friends … never mind.
Mr. Noonan,
I confess that my first response was to laugh.
Incompetent? After Bush, you dare use the word incompetent?
You have to admit you’d be in a far better electoral position now if you bastards could govern with a modicum of competence.
Just give me *one* example of a policy well executed by the Bush administration. And don’t say the surge, because even McCain calls the surge “a reversal of our disastrous previous strategy”.
Look, had Republicans nominated McCain in 2000, you may have had my vote. But you chose Bush instead, and you’re now reaping what you sew.
“And don’t say the surge”
lol, creatively shaping your little lie i see….
bill clinton was senile, he couldnt remember how many women he molested!!
more evidence to his mental incompetency; he actually thought he was responsible for balancing the budget; and then he bombed an asprin factory…
and obama must be senile too…he forgot to keep records of his activity with rezko for the last decade before rezko got convicted…and he cant find his senior thesis…or his birth certificate…hmmm….i guess it runs in washington, eh?
Senile old men?
i haven’t seen abuse like this towards the likes of Robert Byrd and Ted Kennedy. Instead, these two individuals are praised by the liberal lemming obamatons.
Amazing, what desperation can do to the mind.
Why is Obama slipping in the polls to the senile old man?
Of course, McCain is either cheating or they are polling senile people.
