Wait Just a Minute! Who Really is This Guy?

Obama-M-A-N-I-A ~~ Why is The Mega Media Hyping Barak Hussein Obama for President??

Jusy say the name...go ahead!....Let it roll off your tongue: B-A-R-A-K ...H-U-S-S-E-I-N ...O-B-A-M-A...there you go!

That is the name that is making political reporters, talking-head pundits, and liberal Democrats around the country swoon and blush like the chaste school girl on Sadie Hawkins eve. The Mega-Media has lustfully doffed the last of it's Victoria's Secrets thong of objectivity to gleefully and energetically engage in a bacchanal of glowing press and an orgy of puff pieces!

In return, the mysterious tall, dark, and handsome stranger has promised to reward their love and adulation by taking them all for a ride to The White House in 2008

While we hate to douse these lovers with a bucket of cold water and and interrupt their honeymoon consummations, there are some questions that need to be answered and analysis that must be conducted regarding the Chicago 'golden-boy' who would be King:

1) Who is Barak Hussein Obama?
2) What is his background?
3) What is his life story and biography?
4) Are there character issues?
5) What is his education?..training?..experience?
6) Is there scandal or controversy present?
7) What is his religious faith and temperment?
8) What are his political leanings and core values?
9) Who are his constituents and contributors?
10) What is his vision for America and for the World?

Stay tuned this week (12-25-06 to 1-1-07) as Big Bazoo investigates the answers to these burning questions and more.... in the 1st installment in our series chronicling the run-up to Election '08:
Quest For The Keys to The Kingdom: The 2008 Race For The White House

Obama-M-A-N-I-A (cont.) ~ All Hat and No Cattle?

We decided to take a long look at the major executive job search engines and websites, focusing soley on the companies looking for a CEO or Chief Executive. Sites like the Wall Street Journal's Career Journal, Yahoo's Hot Jobs, and CareerBuilder.com all proved to be rich grounds for executive headhunting.

We wanted to know, what would a board member of a major US corporation demand as the minimum qualifications for a new Chief Executive Officer? A corporation, say, with annual revenues exceeding $1B...that's B as in billion!! The results of our job search were quite illuminating.......ALL companies of this size, searching for a CEO, demanded no less than 5-10 years CEO or equivalent executive experience with provable, calibrated successes.

Now what if a company looking for a CEO had revenues approaching $2T...that's T as in TRILLION!!....In addition to the normal duties of a CEO....ie..P&L statements, shareholder value, regulatory compliance..etc..etc...this CEO position required the additional duties of:

a) Commander and Chief of the United States Military
b) The protection and safety of 300 million Americans
c) Charting the political course for the world's greatest
democracy d) Final arbiter on use of the United State's vast nuclear arsenal
e) Negotiating international treaties
f) "Take care that all laws be faithfully executed.."
g) Appoint Supreme Court Justices and Ambassadors
h) Grant reprieves and pardons
i) Receive ambassadors from other nations
j) Set the tone for America throughout the world

What would the resume' of the candidate seeking this singularly unique Chief Executive position look like??...Surely it would have to be lengthy and impressive!

Let's take a look at our 1st candidate, Barak Hussein Obama, and see if his job application warrants an interview for the position:

1) Harvard Law Degree, President Harvard Law Review
2) Worked at Law Firm, Miner, Barnhill, and Galland
3) Taught Constitution Law at Univ. of Chicago Law School
4) State Legislator in Illinois 1996-2000 of little remark
5) Lost US House race in 2000 61% to 30%
6) Elected US Senator from Chicago 2004-present (2yrs exp.)
7) admitted smoking pot and snorting cocaine in autobiography
8) involved with indicted Chicago felon , Antoin Rezko on sweetheart land deal
9) Charismatic African-American
10) no foreign policy experience
11) no executive experience
12) no military experience
13) no legislative successes
14) no 'real-world' business experience
15) no experience appointing judges to the bench

In a nutshell, the unimpressive resume' above doesn't pass the laugh test or the smell test of any reputable hiring body.....In the dangerous world in which we live, with all it's geopolitical complexities, now is not the time for amateur hour or on-the-job-training.......'wet behind the ears' just doesn't make the cut......It's time for voters to say: N-E-X-T !!

Rosie O'Donnell: Racist Remarks Expose Another LIB Hollywood Hypocrite

*READ* Text of Rep. Tom Tancredo's Miami Speech on Immigration

**ORIGINAL BLOG CONTENT**

Last week, anti-illegal immigration lighntning rod, Rep. Tom Tancredo of Colorado, had to abruptly cancel his trip to Miami because of controversy surrounding remarks he made about the City of Miami......Tancredo likened Miami to a 'third-world country' based on the local immigrant population's lack of assimilation into American culture....

Local, immigrant protesters threatened to boycott the Rusty Pelican Restaurant where Rep. Tancredo was scheduled to address the local Rotary Club.....The restaurant pulled the plug citing the need to protect it's business interests.

Well, Tancredo has been re-invited by another chapter of the local Rotary Club and has accepted that invitation.

The link below is the full text of the speech he is planning to deliver:

Officials: Edwards to Enter 2008 Race

Former Democratic vice presidential nominee John Edwards intends to enter the 2008 race for the White House, two Democratic officials said Saturday.

Edwards, who represented North Carolina in the Senate for six years, plans to make the campaign announcement late this month from the New Orleans neighborhood hit hardest by Hurricane Katrina last year and slow to recover from the storm.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they did not want to pre-empt Edwards' announcement.

As Edwards enters the crowded field, the Lower Ninth Ward provides a stark backdrop to highlight his signature issue _ that economic inequality means that the country is divided into "two Americas."

Edwards also plans to travel from New Orleans through the four early presidential nominating states _ Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire and South Carolina _ as part of an announcement tour between Christmas and New Year's Day.

http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/12/16/D8M240Q00.html

BIG BAZOO's take: The Breck Girl, aka John Edwards, is the latest punch line in the joke known the latest Democratic '08 Presidential nominee....all a voter need do is re-watch the debate between Cheney and Edwards last election cycle....Cheney laid bare Edwards lack of gravitas...this guy is a class-warfare, tax-and-spend lib, ambulance-chaser.....and a rube!

FBI: Radical Islamic Cleric's Impending Death in Prison May Spark Terror Attacks


******RELIGION OF PEACE UPDATE******

The health of terrorist cleric Omar Abdel-Rahman, known as the Blind Sheik, is deteriorating - renewing fears that his death in prison could trigger an attack on the United States, officials said Thursday.

There is no credible indication that an attack on the U.S. is imminent, said several law enforcement officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the situation.

In a two-page bulletin, dated Dec. 8, the FBI reported to federal intelligence officials that Abdel-Rahman had been rushed from prison to a Missouri hospital two days earlier for a blood transfusion. There, doctors discovered a tumor on his liver, according to the bulletin, which was described to The Associated Press by a law enforcement official.

Officials said the bulletin served merely as a reminder that Abdel-Rahman had called for retaliation by terror sympathizers if he died in prison. It cited a May 1998 news conference in which al-Qaida members distributed his last will and testament, in which Abdel-Rahman pleaded for followers to "extract the most violent revenge" should he die in U.S. custody.

The FBI did not have immediate comment on Thursday.

In a video in September marking the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, al-Qaida's No. 2 man, Ayman al-Zawahri, cited the continuing imprisonment of the sheik.

"I call on every Muslim to make use of every opportunity afforded him to take revenge on America for its imprisonment of Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman," he said.

**BIG BAZOO's take: More peaceful postcards from the 'Religion of Peace'.....notice in the story the Sheik was given a blood transfusion in prison...no doubt the blood of an American...or maybe a JEW!!!!! It's interesting how these guys are in no rush to get to paradise??!!...They'll send their women and children out to blow themselves up.....but these guys....nooooo! Evil hypocrites...Where is the Islamic Martin Luther??


Barack-Gate? Land Deal Beginning to Raise Eyebrows About Up and Coming Democrat from Illinois

******CORRUPTION ALERT******
It begins in 2004 with Obama's $1.9 million book advance for The Audacity of Hope. In June 2005, Obama used the money to purchase a $1.65 million Georgian revival home on Chicago's South Side—$300,000 less than the asking price. On the very same day, Rezko, a Democratic Party fund-raiser and developer, bought the adjacent empty lot at the asking price from the same owner (the house and the lot were previously owned by the same person). Rezko, who had raised money for Obama and known him since the senator attended Harvard Law School, did not develop the empty lot. In January 2006, he sold a 1,500-square-foot slice of it to Obama for $104,000, a fair sum in that market.

Here's the question: Did Rezko orchestrate his same-day purchase of the lot at full price so that the seller would give Obama a break on the price of the adjacent house? Was Obama in on the deal? And did Rezko never intend to develop the lot, giving Obama a nice roomy side yard, a favor which he'd call in later?

Obama says he did talk to Rezko before the purchase, but only because a person who had renovated it for a previous owner had once worked with Rezko, who owns other properties in the South Side. He didn't arrange the joint purchase with him. He bought the house at such a good price, Obama has told the papers, because it was being unloaded in a "fire sale."

**BIG BAZOO's take: Let the klieg lights of the '08 Presidential campaign flood the stage......The 1st victim may very well be media darling, Barak HUSSEIN Obama of Illinois...seems the freshman Senator learned quickly where the cookies are stored and he's stuffing his pockets!! This empty suit doesn't stand a chance....you heard it here 1st!

Renegade Democratic Senator Bill Nelson Meets With State Terror Head Assad of Syria

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush sharply criticized Syria on Wednesday despite calls for him to engage with the country over Iraq, while a Democratic senator defied administration wishes and met Syria's president.

Bush, who has resisted pressure to hold talks with Syria, as well as Iran, as part of a new approach to ending violence in Iraq, issued a statement calling on Syria to "immediately free all political prisoners."

The White House said members of Congress should not be going to Syria.

"I think it is a real stretch to think that the Syrians don't know where we stand or what we think. We have made it clear and we will continue to make it clear," White House spokesman Tony Snow said.

"What has not happened is the appropriate response by the Syrians in terms of their adventurism within the region, especially with regard to Lebanon, their continued support and housing of terrorist organizations," Snow said.

Another Democratic senator announced he too was heading for Syria for a meeting with Assad next week. Connecticut's Chris Dodd said in a statement he originally planned to make the trip in April but at that time heeded a senior administration official's warnings not to go.

http://today.reuters.com

BIG BAZOO's take: Bill Nelson is a traitor and disgrace...he should be arrested and thrown in a dungeon!.....This is a preview of how the Democrats will prosecute the war on terror....appeasement...appeasement.....appeasement!!...What a far cry from Ronald Reagan's maxim: 'We don't negotiate with terrorists!'.....Terrorist lick their chops when presented with weakness....this is a classic case!


Balance Of Power in US Senate Hangs on Health of Democrat from South Dakota

WASHINGTON (AP) - Democratic Sen. Tim Johnson of South Dakota suffered a possible stroke Wednesday and was taken to a hospital, his office said.

If he should be unable to continue to serve, it could halt the scheduled Democratic takeover of the Senate. Democrats won a 51-49 majority in the November election. South Dakota's governor, who would appoint any temporary replacement, is a Republican.

"Senator Tim Johnson was taken to George Washington University Hospital this afternoon suffering from a possible stroke," read a statement from his Senate office. "At this stage, he is undergoing a comprehensive evaluation by the stroke team."

Johnson had become disoriented during a call with reporters, stuttering in response to a question. He appeared to recover, asking if there were any additional questions and then signing off.

If the two-term senator, 59, is unable to serve when the 110th Congress convenes Jan. 4, South Dakota Gov. Mike Rounds would appoint a replacement.

Muslim Pilgrims Urged to File Civil Rights Lawsuits Against Airlines

American Muslims making a religious pilgrimage to Mecca are being encouraged to file civil rights complaints if they feel discriminated against by airlines.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), citing what it called the "airport profiling" of six imams removed from a recent flight, yesterday said Muslims traveling this month to the holy site in Saudi Arabia need to be aware of their rights.

"Given the increase in the number of complaints CAIR has received alleging airport profiling of American Muslims, we believe it is important that all those taking part in this year's hajj be aware of their legal and civil rights," said Ibrahim Hooper, CAIR spokesman.

The group has established a toll-free hot line (800/784-7526) for victims of "flying while Muslim," as Muslims have begun departing for the week long hajj, a once-in-a-lifetime obligation to visit the holy city of Mecca, which this year begins Dec. 29.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/national/20061213-012610-6836r.htm


**BIG BAZOO's take: Drip by drip the anti-American forces are emboldened, wherever and whenever, we show weakness and lack of resolve!.....The Council of American Islamic Relations should be indicted using the RICO racketeering statutes...broken up like the mob that it is!......Our courts need to put the kibosh on frivolous lawsuits like these.....let's hit 'em with an iron fist!

Illegal Immigrant Workers Arrested In Identity Theft Sweep

Federal agents targeting illegal immigrants raided meatpacking plants in six states yesterday, arresting hundreds of workers on the uncommon charge of identity theft and shutting down the world's second-largest meat processing company for much of the day.

About 1,000 U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents with search warrants entered plants owned by Swift & Co., of Greeley, Colo., charging that "large numbers" of workers illegally assumed the identities of U.S. citizens or legal residents by using their Social Security numbers to get work, ICE officials said.

Company and union officials said agents, some dressed in riot gear, locked down six beef and pork processing plants early in the morning, segregating workers into groups of citizens and non-citizens after questioning. Some illegal workers were bused to detention facilities hours away, labor officials said.

ICE officials would not say how many people were arrested pending a news conference today in Washington. About 90 percent of Swift's 15,000 U.S. employees work in three shifts at the plants, company officials said.

The crackdown was another step in the federal government's stepped-up campaign against illegal immigration, and like some recent raids it targeted job sites, the magnet drawing many of the nearly 12 million undocumented immigrants. But the move was unusual for several reasons.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/12/12/AR2006121200525_pf.html

**BIG BAZOO's take: F-I-N-A-L-L-Y....enforcement of US immigration laws.....what a concept!!....Let's hope that these raids are just the tip of the iceberg....these illegals are stealing the IDs of real Americans to get jobs they are not entitled to!..Send 'em back to Mexico..NOW!


U.S. Condemns Iran's Holocaust Denier Conference

WASHINGTON -- The Bush administration condemned Iran on Tuesday for convening a conference of people who deny the Holocaust happened, calling the move "an affront to the entire civilized world."

The two-day event in Tehran was initiated by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The hard-line president has described the Holocaust as a "myth" and called for Israel to be wiped off the map.

"The gathering of Holocaust deniers in Tehran is an affront to the entire civilized world, as well as to the traditional Iranian values of tolerance and mutual respect," White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said. "The United States will continue to support those in Iran and elsewhere who seek to promote human rights and dignity, and will stand with them in their efforts to overcome oppression, injustice and tyranny."

http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/1151AP_Bush_Holocaust.html?source=rss

BIG BAZOO's take: What a menagerie of hateful, evil L-O-S-E-R-S attending this conference....the hatred of Jews seems to be imprinted in the DNA of many people.....Instead of using the success of Jewish culture, in the face of overwhelming hate, as an example....haters want to resort to conspiracy theories and bigoted stereotypes....hey world W-A-K-E- U-P!!....Hitler is smiling...we better act!

Leftist Rep. Dennis Kucinich Says He Plans to Run for President in 2008

CLEVELAND — Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich, who unsuccessfully ran for president in 2004, said Monday he is planning to run again because his party is not pushing hard enough to end the war in Iraq.

In a statement, Kucinich said he plans to formally announce his candidacy for 2008 on Tuesday at City Hall, where he served as mayor of his hometown in the 1970s.

The liberal, anti-war congressman said he was inspired to run because he disagrees with the way some of his fellow Democrats are handling the war in Iraq, including approval of a proposal to spend $160 billion (euro121 billion) more on the conflict.

"Democrats were swept into power on Nov. 7 because of widespread voter discontent with the war in Iraq," said the Ohio lawmaker. "Instead of heeding those concerns and responding with a strong and immediate change in polices and direction, the Democratic congressional leadership seems inclined to continue funding the perpetuation of the war."

http://www.foxnews.com

**BIG BAZOO's take: This leftist, peacnik radical is just another warmed over 60s hangover!!.....The last thing this country needs is are reminder of failed socialist/communist regimes..that reminder would be the seditious Dennis Kucinich!!...He is the Jane Fonda of today!...Oh ..and by the way the 1st act as President would be to form a cabinet level position called: Dept. of Peace!!..and then cut funding to the military...great timing!

Corrupt UN Secretary General Annan Criticizes White House in Farewell Speech

*CORRUPT GASBAG HYPOCRITE ALERT*

INDEPENDENCE, Mo. (AP) - U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan took his criticism of the Bush administration to the nation's heartland Monday, saying America must not sacrifice its democratic ideals while waging war against terrorism.

In the hometown of President Harry Truman, who helped found the United Nations, Annan said "human rights and the rule of law are vital to global security and prosperity."

When the U.S. "appears to abandon its own ideals and objectives, its friends abroad are naturally troubled and confused," Annan told a packed audience at the Truman Presidential Museum and Library.

Annan also said the U.N. Security Council should be expanded to better reflect today's world.

Annan, an increasingly vocal critic of the war in Iraq, leaves the United Nations on Dec. 31 after 10 years as secretary-general. He chose the Truman museum for his final major speech in part because it is dedicated to a president who was instrumental in the organization's founding.

http://www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/nat-gen/2006/dec/11/121102141.html

**BIG BAZOO's take: Kofi Annan is as corrupt and anti-Semitic as they come these days.....his own son made hundreds of 1000s of $$ in the Oil for Food scandal with Iraq....personally enriching himself on the back of war.....never too shy to bash America or duck making any real decisions...this Secretary General will be remembered for sitting on his hands during the Rwanda genocide and the Islamic slaughter in Dar fur!!......Bubba is angling for this job down the road...We say.....dismantle the US United Nations Building and relocate it in Europe...and cut US funding...P-E-R-I-O-D!!...good riddance Kofi!



Let People Defend Themselves, Second Amendment Group Says

(CNSNews.com) - The Illinois State Rifle Association says it will draft legislation allowing law-abiding citizens to carry firearms for their own defense.

The concealed carry legislation -- a response to Friday's deadly shooting in a downtown Chicago law office -- will be introduced in both chambers of the Illinois General Assembly early next year, ISRA said.

"One has to wonder how the outcome may have differed had any of the law office staff been trained and licensed to carry a defensive firearm," said ISRA Executive Director, Richard Pearson.

"Unfortunately, the answer to that question will remain unknown as Illinois is one of only 2 states in the nation that prohibit law abiding citizens from carrying firearms as a means of self defense."

Pearson said the people in the law office at least would have had a "fighting chance to survive," if any of them had been carrying guns themselves on Friday when an armed man with a grudge burst into the office.

http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewNation.asp?Page=/Nation/archive/200612/NAT20061211a.html

**BIG BAZOO's take: The evidence is overwhelming that gun prevent crimes and save lives almost 3,000,000 times a year....Concealed carry permits would go a long way in protecting citizens from today's threats!.....We would not want to be unarmed when confronted with evil.......the Constitution demands it!



Incoming Democratic House Intelligence Chief Botches Simple Quiz on Al-Queda: Incompotent?

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Rep. Silvestre Reyes of Texas, who incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has tapped to head the Intelligence Committee when the Democrats take over in January, failed a quiz of basic questions about al Qaeda and Hezbollah, two of the key terrorist organizations the intelligence community has focused on since the September 11, 2001 attacks.

When asked by CQ National Security Editor Jeff Stein whether al Qaeda is one or the other of the two major branches of Islam -- Sunni or Shiite -- Reyes answered "they are probably both," then ventured "Predominantly -- probably Shiite."

That is wrong. Al Qaeda was founded by Osama bin Laden as a Sunni organization and views Shiites as heretics.

Reyes could also not answer questions put by Stein about Hezbollah, a Shiite group on the U.S. list of terrorist organizations that is based in Southern Lebanon.

Stein's column about Reyes' answers was published on CQ's Web site Friday evening.

In an interview with CNN, Stein said he was "amazed" by Reyes' lack of what he considers basic information about two of the major terrorists organizations.

"If you're the baseball commissioner and you don't know the difference between the Yankees and the Red Sox, you don't know baseball," Stein said. "You're not going to have the respect of the people you work with."

http://www.cnn.com/POLITICS/blogs/politicalticker/2006/12/incoming-house-intelligence-chief.html

**BIG BAZOO's take: Silvestre Reyes is an incompetent and corrupt Congressman......an inexcusable and possibly deadly combination during our war on terror!! This version Democratic Party is rife with corruption, hypocrisy, and ineptitude.....It is breathtaking to watch the mega-media sit on their hands and be silent!!......It is no wonder that Al-Queda and their quislings are rooting for the Democrats to win!! ...Throw these bums out in '08!!
What a D-O-U-C-H-E-B-A-G!!

Katrina Begets a Baby Boom of Illegal Immigrants

NEW ORLEANS — First came the storm. Then came the workers. Now comes the baby boom.

In the latest twist to the demographic transformation of New Orleans since it was swamped by Hurricane Katrina last year, hundreds of babies are being born to Latino immigrant workers, both legal and illegal, who flocked to the city to toil on its reconstruction.

The throng of babies gurgling in the handful of operational maternity wards here has come as a big surprise — and a financial strain — to this historically black and white city, which before the hurricane had only a small Latino community and virtually no experience of illegal immigration.

“Of all the myriad things that have changed after Katrina, this wasn’t high on anybody’s priority list,” said Dr. Mark Peters, chief executive of East Jefferson General Hospital in Metairie.

Because many immigrant mothers cannot afford to pay for prenatal care or delivery services, New Orleans’s newest citizens are adding an unexpected load to the decimated health infrastructure in a city abandoned by many of its doctors. Much of the state-financed Charity Hospital system, which before Hurricane Katrina provided the bulk of care to New Orleans’s uninsured and indigent population, remains closed.

Lacking health insurance and barred from most government assistance, expectant immigrant mothers can go to only the handful of charitable clinics that are still operating and that do not question a woman’s immigration status when offering low-cost prenatal care.

Iranian Hitler Presiding Over Holocaust Denial Conference: Begins Dec. 10th Human Rights Day

Iran, which disputes that Jews were slaughtered by the Nazis, is to hold a conference next month to allow historians to clarify "hidden angles" of the Holocaust, the foreign ministry has revealed.

The December 11 and 12 international gathering aims to "create opportunities ... for a suitable scientific research so the hidden and unhidden angles of this most important political issue of the 20th century become more transparent," said a statement on the Iranian foreign ministry's website.

Iran's fiercely anti-Israeli regime is supportive of so-called Holocaust revisionists, who maintain that the systematic slaughter by the Nazis of mainland Europe's Jews and other groups during World War II was either invented or exaggerated.

The event is organized by the ministry's Institute for Political and International Studies (IPIS) which has called on researchers and lecturers to take part in the conference.

The gathering, titled "Study of Holocaust: A Global Perspective", has been scheduled to coincide with international Human Rights Day on December 10, it said.

"This conference fully respects the Jewish religion and is away from politicization and propaganda," the statement said.

Topics include "anti-Semitism, Nazism and Zionism: collaboration or animosity; the concept of Holocaust and its roots; views of revisionists; denial or admittance of gas chambers," it added.

"The laws against those who deny Holocaust and killing of the Palestinians," are also to be discussed.

**BIG BAZOO's take: If the world can't unite against this P-I-G in Iran after this latest reprehensible stunt....suffer us the consequences....This is a Holocaust denial conference designed to denigrate Jews .....and further the argument that Europe dumped the Jews on the Middle East after inventing the Holocaust in order to drum up support for the formation of the Jewish state!!...Israel PLEASE SCRAMBLE THE FIGHTER JETS!!

Democrat "Cold Cash" Jefferson Wins Runoff Despite On-Going FBI Bribery Inquiry

NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (AP) -- U.S. Rep. William Jefferson easily defeated his fellow Democratic opponent in a runoff election Saturday, despite an ongoing federal bribery investigation.

In complete but unofficial returns, Jefferson, Louisiana's first black congressman since Reconstruction, received 57 percent of the vote over state Rep. Karen Carter, who had 43 percent.

Carter was unable to capitalize on a scandal that included allegations the FBI found $90,000 in bribe money in Jefferson's freezer.

In a concession speech, Carter embraced family members and pledged to work with Jefferson, especially on the area's recovery from Hurricane Katrina.

"I guess the people are happy with the status-quo," she said.

Jefferson was forced into the runoff against Carter when he failed to win 50 percent of the vote in a crowded open multiparty primary. Carter had sought to become the first black woman from Louisiana elected to Congress.

He described his win as "a great moment, and I thank almighty God for making it possible." He called for regional unity to focus on the hurricane recovery and in bringing back evacuees who are still scattered across the country.

His presence in Washington could be embarrassing for Democrats, who won control of Congress on a platform of cleaning up corruption.

BIG BAZOO's take: In the fine Democratic tradition of crack-smoking Marion Barry...Dem. Rep. William Jefferson was elected by Democratic voters DESPITE the fact that the FBI found $90K in bribery cash in his home freezer.....A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!...We have chronicled the breadth of corruption in this new Democrat controlled Congress...In this instance, voters DID NOT CARE!!.....Republicans throw bums out when discovered in their midst......Democrats herald their return!!

SHOCKING VIDEO ILLUSTRATES EFFECT OF TODAY'S MASS IMMIGRATION AND OPEN BORDERS

~ Free Range Punditry by Big Bazoo~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DATELINE: LOS ANGELES:
IMMIGRATION GONE WILD!

In it's final gasp before completely morphing into Mexico City....Los Angeles officially endorsed illegal immigration, open borders, and law breaking by issuing "A Proclamation on Immigrants" on December 15th.

The wording of the document is appalling in it's attempt to paint anyone who disagrees with ILLEGAL immigration as a racist, xenophobic, and hater......the word ILLEGAL never even appears in the text at all!!

The screed contains just about every multicultural cliche' that exists and even makes up a few new ones.....Read it carefully and one will find blatant anti-American sentiment, reverse racism, and lack of respect for the rule of law! It is time for ACTION!!

The Southern California quality-of-life is under seige from the 5th column of illegals marching north from Mexico, Central, and South America, a few examples:

gangs...murders...grafitti...no english...over-crowded schools...over-run public parks...loitering day laborers...public urination...teen pregnancy...uninsured motorists...jammed freeways...smog...drug smuggling...drug dealing...gang rapes...cop killing...litter...soaring crime...fouled water...no assilmilation...broken homes...murder-suicide pacts...isolation...junk cars...property disrepair...high density housing...ubiquitous clotheslines...crowded buses...crowded subways...drug use...machismo...illegal fruit vendors....illegal ice cream carts...stealing shopping carts...bar fights...meth labs...marijuana farms on federal land...inundated emergency rooms...bankrupt hospitals...welfare fraud... no drivers licenses...uneducated masses...low riders...rap music...barrios...robberies....sexual harrassment...statutory rape...workers comp fraud....mexican mafia....coyotes....urban blight...homelessness...begging.....public drinking.....cock fighting...full prisons...border lawlessness...wage supression...mass protests...reconquista...atzlan...brown pride...bi-lingual education...
