Kathy Hochul accepted thousands of dollars in cash towards her campaign from law firms and or lawyers concurrent with those same firms presenting cases on behalf of the four leaders from a Western New York region violent drug ring with cases before Mr. Hochul’s US Attorney office. The violent drug ring involved was described by the FBI as being extremely violent and presenting a clear and present danger to the public and Buffalo-Niagara community. Mrs. Hochul’s husband’s office, in close proximity to these contributions, acted very favorably to the law firms and their associated defendants on several of these observed...

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) has issued an unlikely challenge to House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio): Drop the tea party. Prominent tea-party-aligned lawmakers, including Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Mike Lee (R-Utah) and House Republican Study Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), have come out against a short-term spending bill proposed by Boehner and other House GOP leaders. And Schumer, who oversees the messaging shop for Senate Democrats, says those lawmakers are standing in the way of a long-term bipartisan compromise on the budget. “These Republicans’ decision to abandon the three-week proposal negotiated by their own party’s leadership suggests that tea party...

US President Barack Obama's trip to India next month is set to be the biggest ever by any US president in terms of the protocol and logistics. Headlines Today accessed the details of elaborate arrangements that will be in place to guard Obama during his three-day trip beginning on November 6. He will be accompanied by US first lady Micehlle Obama and their daughters Malia and Sasha. Earlier, Obama's daughters Sasha and Malia were not to be part of the trip. But sources revealed that Michelle's opinion prevailed and now the girls would accompany the first American couple to India....

A surprising internal poll is casting a spotlight on a previously ignored congressional race in Oregon that may foretell a November bloodbath for Democrats even worse than anyone has imagined. Two years ago, 12-term incumbent Democratic Rep. Peter DeFazio cruised to victory in Oregon's 4th District with 82 percent of the vote. But a survey by Wilson Research Strategies for the conservative group Concerned Taxpayers of America has the Democrat up by only 6 points, 48 to 42, over Republican nominee Art Robinson. The Washington insider publication The Hill opines: "If Robinson, a first-time candidate, is even within 10 points...

It's tough to raise money for an upstart congressional campaign and particularly tough to do so in a down economy, say some of the nine challengers in Maryland's 2nd District race. Their campaign finance reports bear that out: Of the nine, only two reported any income with the Federal Election Commission as of June 30, the most recent filing deadline. "There's the economic situation now, and people with less disposable income, and expenses they're facing," said Robert Imhoff, who volunteers on Democratic challenger Raymond Atkins' campaign. While the challengers may be struggling, it's a different story for incumbent Rep. C.A....

Nobody likes a racist… Nobody likes a race hustler either. On Saturday March 20th the leftist media reported what they described as a horrible story from their sources at the conservative-hating Huffington Post. The media claimed that members of the Congressional Black Caucus were called n*ggers and spat on by tea party protesters as they walked from the Longworth office building to the Rayburn office building. At least one report said that it was “a chorus” of racist hatred. Another report said the Congressional members heard the n-word at least 15 times. Reporters from ABC, CBS, CNN, FOX News, (including...

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Ten House Democrats indicated in an Associated Press survey Monday they have not ruled out switching their "no" votes to "yes" on President Barack Obama's health care overhaul, brightening the party's hopes in the face of unyielding Republican opposition. Speaker Nancy Pelosi is struggling to secure enough Democratic votes for approval, thus the effort to attract former foes. Obama .. is expected to embrace a handful of Republican ideas for making health care more efficient. But persuading lawmakers to change their votes is a tough sell. Elected officials are loath to vote two ways on a controversial...

Alaska as Democratic Opportunity?: The soon-to-be official resignation of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) could hand Democrats a legitimate pickup opportunity, according to a recent poll in the Last Frontier obtained by the Fix. The survey, which was conducted by Global Strategy Group, showed Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell (R) at 41 percent to former state Sen. Ethan Berkowitz's (D) 40 percent -- a statistical dead heat. Democrats held the Alaska governorship from 1994 until 2002 as Gov. Tony Knowles (D) benefited from a fractured Republican party and serious independent candidates. As for those who argued that Palin decided to leave...

It’s rumored after her first day in the White House Michelle Obama again decided she would be proud of the United States - but after thinking it over, instead she decided she could have had a V8. Obama is trying to convince the nation it’s easy to be perfect – once he got the hang of it. So far, Obama has committed every fumble except bumping his head on the toilet seat. The environmentalists are becoming increasingly desperate to make their case for global warming. They reported that some of the caribou are changing over early into their seersucker antlers....

The democraps control congress, and Bush is in favor of this bailout- WHY DO THEY NEED REPUBLICANS? For years they have been complaining about how McCain votes with Bush- Now THEY ARE VOTING WITH BUSH.

Senator Barack Obama has launched a full broadside against a best-selling book that attacks him as a Muslim-educated radical Leftist filled with "black rage". In a 41-page document entitled "Unfit for Publication", the Obama campaign rebuts Jerome Corsi's Obama Nation (a play on "abomination") almost point by point. Its faux book cover carries quotations from Time magazine branding the book, which has shot to the top of the New York Times best-seller list, as "trash" and "poisonous crap". The title of the Obama rebuttal is an allusion to Unfit for Command, the book co-written by Corsi that damaged the 2004...

BREAKING NEWS updated 17 minutes ago WASHINGTON - Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton has replaced campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle, naming longtime aide Maggie Williams to the top job.

Using congressional privilege, Rep. David Wu helped direct more than $2 million in defense contracts to a company in his district for T-shirts that Marines say they can no longer use in battle because they can melt and cause severe burns. A report in today's Seattle Times also found the company's top executives contributed to Wu's campaign account about the time the spending "earmarks" were written into the final Department of Defense budget. Wu told The Oregonian today that he is "horrified" the Marines had to ban the polyester T-shirts in battle because of the danger they pose. "I didn't...

Manhattan DA Robert Morgenthau is probing what disgraced Hillary Rodham Clinton-backer Norman Hsu did with $40M "investment" cash given to him by famed Woodstock Festival founder Joel Rosenman......"We are taking a look at whether funds were misappropriated" ..........

King and Pierce County prosecutors filed felony charges today against seven people who allegedly committed the biggest voter-registration fraud in state history. The defendants, who were paid employees and supervisors of ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, concocted the scheme as an easy way to get paid, not as an attempt to influence the outcome of elections, King County Prosecuting Attorney Dan Satterberg said. "This was an act of vandalism upon the voter rolls of King County," Satterberg said. In addition to filing criminal charges, Satterberg said state and local officials had signed a five-year agreement with...

IF NOTHING else, Texas Congressman Ron Paul's presidential candidacy makes it clear that the Republican Party is not a monolith. It has its ideological outliers, and they march to the beat of a very different drummer than George Bush and most GOP candidates do. With his isolationist opposition to the war in Iraq , Paul is the odd man out in his party. To Republican ears, his claim during last week's South Carolina debate that the United States was attacked on Sept. 11 "because . . . we've been bombing Iraq for 10 years" and that Americans ought to "listen...
