WASHINGTON — John McCain’s campaign began on Thursday to review donations brought in by a prominent Florida businessman following disclosures that his business partner, a foreign national, also may have engaged in fundraising.

The campaign is looking into hundreds of thousands of dollars in contributions to make sure that they are appropriate, a spokesman said.

The campaign sent a letter spelling out legal requirements to all donors who sent their contributions through Harry Sargeant III, the finance chairman of the Florida Republican Party.

It’s illegal for foreigners to contribute their own money to U.S. campaigns.

The New York Times reported Thursday that Sargeant allowed a longtime business partner, Mustafa Abu Naba’a, to bring in some $50,000 in donations since March from members of a single extended family, the Abdullahs, in California, along with several of their friends.

A House committee chairman is looking into Sargeant’s defense contracts for shipping fuel to U.S. bases in Iraq as part of a probe into whether contractors are engaging in overcharging.

McCain spokesman Brian Rogers said Mustafa Abu Naba’a is not a bundler for the campaign, although Sargeant is.

“He wasn’t registered, and he hasn’t contributed,” Rogers said of Mustafa Abu Naba’a.

The campaign letter to donors notes that federal law bars contributions from foreign nationals and that donations cannot be reimbursed.

McCain is co-sponsor of the campaign finance reform law that bears his name and he is trying to move quickly to resolve any questions involving Sargeant.

McCain has “a deep commitment” to strictly following campaign finance law, said Rogers.

“WASHINGTON - There's been a Clinton running for the White House or living in it for approximately forever. Bill, it could be said, was born to run. Running became Hillary's destiny, too.

One quarter of Americans have never known life without a Clinton trying for or having the presidency. Millions have gone from diapers to diplomas in the time of the Clintons.

When Hillary Rodham Clinton finally exits the 2008 Democratic presidential race, she will end a decades-long, power-couple streak of unique political energy, savvy ideas, colossal policy flops and raw ambition dressed in pants suits and briefs, not boxers.”

Sometimes it’s hard to say good bye to yesterday but in such as fast changing world where change is a must and letting what I call Oligarchy go isn’t too bad.

Oligarchies are often controlled by a few powerful families.  The Bush’s and Cliton’s  - and yes be already know soon their children are raised and mentored to become inheritors of the power of the oligarchy, often at some sort of expense to those governed.

“In contrast to aristocracy ("government by the 'best'"), this power may not always be exercised openly, the oligarchs preferring to remain "the power behind the throne", exerting control through economic means.”

Yes! It’s time to move and bring some real change to Washington.  We all must remember change isn’t bad sometimes.

I don’t think anyone wants to live in a society which feels that it has become an oligarchy.  Get this, if borned after 1989, there's a good chance you have been living in an oligarchy.  It’s nice seeing the United States shifting alliances of warring tribal chief the “BUSH’s” and living through the transformation from an oligarchy to change and watching the United States go through evolution as it maybe soon. 

What do you think? ......
