Hopefully, some of that light will drift south.<BR/><BR/>"With nearly all the returns in, Canada's election agency reported on its Web site that the Conservatives had won or was leading in races for 143 of Parliament's 308 seats, an improvement over the 127 seats the party had in the previous Parliament."<BR/><BR/>Note; The Nobel Selection commitee has degenerated into an anti American , anti democracy, pro socialism , pro global warming hysteria group.

In 1976, he was charged with attempting to bribe members of Congress to win their support for keeping U.S. troops in Vietnam.<BR/><BR/>This isn't the first time that Timmons has had his name in the news for the wrong reasons since being announced as McCain's transition chief. Last month, Bloomberg reported that he had lobbied on behalf of Freddie Mac, a company that McCain has blamed for helping to cause the current financial crisis. <BR/><BR/>Timmons' Washington lobby firm, Timmons and Co., founded in the 1970's, helped develop the model on which today's lobbying culture is based.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12264890951105593726noreply@blogger.com
