No Longer The Party Of 'Free' Love

Stabenow's husband caught in Troy prostitution sting, police report says

The co-founder and former CEO of the liberal-progressive Democracy Radio and husband of U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow was caught in February by a Troy police sting aimed at catching prostitutes, according to a police report.

Thomas L. Athans was stopped Feb. 26 by undercover officers investigating a possible prostitution ring in a room at the Residence Inn near Big Beaver and Interstate 75. Athans paid a 20-year-old prostitute $150 for sex in a Troy hotel but was not arrested, according to police reports obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request by The Detroit News. The police report said officers observed Athans enter a room under surveillance and leave 15 minutes later. Detectives followed and stopped Athans' silver 2002 Cadillac DeVille on Interstate 75 near Square Lake Road.
...

"(Detectives) stop people coming and going and interview them. If they have a cooperative witness, they will use that person to testify against the ring rather than arrest them. That's what happened in this case," Scherlinck said.

Questions:
Why would a nice young lady be with a "kiss and tell" type of guy?
Why is there such a difference in price between NYC/DC and Troy Michigan?
Why would a prostitute work a cheap motel near Big Beaver?
15 minutes???
Why is a power-to-the-people type guy driving a Cadillac DeVille?

France eyes bigger Afghan deployment

Francois Fillon, speaking at the National Assembly amid domestic opposition to a bigger French deployment, said NATO and its allies must stop Afghanistan from again becoming a hub of international terrorism.

Jacque Kerry, Sir Hillary Clinton and Baroque Obama are not going to be pleased with this. Their spokesperson said, "Nous sommes mouillage sur nos pantalons."

Hillary's 34 Years Of Lying VS Obama's New Found Skills

It appears that Hillary has a long history of being a liar and a conniver to either get what she wants or is told to get by her betters. She went from a Goldwater Girl to a gold digger girl at the speed of ambition.

Watergate-Era Judiciary Chief of Staff: Hillary Clinton Fired For Lies, Unethical Behavior

Jerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat, supervised the work of 27-year-old Hillary Rodham on the committee. Hillary got a job working on the investigation at the behest of her former law professor, Burke Marshall, who was also Sen. Ted Kennedy’s chief counsel in the Chappaquiddick affair. When the investigation was over, Zeifman fired Hillary from the committee staff and refused to give her a letter of recommendation – one of only three people who earned that dubious distinction in Zeifman’s 17-year career.

Why?

Because she was a liar,” Zeifman said in an interview last week. “She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”


Common thieves

One of the most forceful criticisms of the Clintons was by President Carter’s former Chief of Staff, Hamilton Jordan. On February 21, 2001 Jordon published an article in the Wall Street Journal titled The First Grifters, stating that in describing the Clintons:

A word comes to mind: grifters -- a term used in the Great Depression to describe fast-talking con artists who roamed the countryside, profiting at the expense of the poor and the uneducated, always one step ahead of the law, moving on before they were held accountable for their schemes and half-truths.

Wow! What a choice we have for our country. Hillary who loves only herself or Obama who agreed to cut Wright loose if Wright's message of hate became known.

MATTHEWS: Yes, well, let me show you what the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, the man we‘re looking at right now, Reverend, said to “The New York Times” last year. He, like, gave political advice to his friend, Barack Obama. Quote, “If Barack gets past the primary, he might have to publicly distance himself from me. I said it to Barack personally, and he said, yes, that might have to happen.”

So they apparently had a conversation, according to Reverend Jeremiah Wright, where they both agreed they had to separate ways, disconnect their connections. So they saw the political hazard ahead, and yet they did not make the move. In other words, Barack Obama was warned that the radical statements which he was warned about firsthand by the minister would cause him trouble politically, which they are doing this weekend right as we speak, and he failed to separate himself. What does that tell you about his political judgment?

Two despicable people vying to be the leader of a country that is good and strives to be better each day.
