Sen. Martinez's wallet stolen

(AP) SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- A wallet belonging to U.S. Sen. Mel Martinez, R-Fla., was stolen when his rental car was broken into over the weekend, police said.

Martinez, his wife and son had driven from Chicago to attend the Stanford-Notre Dame football game on Saturday, and the wallet was inadvertently left on the front seat of the car in the driveway of Notre Dame professor emeritus Jay Dolan in nearby Granger, Ind.

A neighbor later found Martinez's wallet in the yard. The senator's credentials were intact, but $180 in cash was missing.

Martinez's nephew, Eric Maust, is a punter for the Irish.

huh? His wallet was stolen in Chicago and ended up in Martinez's Orlando yard?

That's bizzare

Mel Martinez' wallet is stolen. This is news?

[Jay]

Trickle down economics works!

[Alex]

Join the club, Senator. My wallet was stolen too thanks to last Friday's bailout.

Now he knows what we feel like.

[Steve O'Neal]

I believe the neighbor referred to in the article was a neighbor of Professor Jay Dolan in Indiana. Not so "bizarre" after all.

Who says Obama supporters don't follow Republican Senators?

[Kenneth]

Maybe the NRA forgot to give it back to him.

[Melvin]

$180 cash? People work/labor their entire professional careers to save that kind of money.

now you know how it feels to have something stolen.

we had our elections stolen in 2000 and that awful feeling of having your personal space and belongings taken never leaves you.

[True Blue]

Mel - you didn't have to worry about somebody stealing your identification. No one in their right mind would want to pose as you. Start counting the days to your retirement!!

It's kinda hard to call this a theft. It's more a case of stupidity leaving your wallet on the front seat of your car. Wonder if the car was locked even though described as broken into?

[bruised and bleeding]

Didn't he vote in favor of the bailout? No he knows how we, the Republican taxpayers of Florida, feel about his vote. Unfortunately, the difference between what Mel lost and what we lost is $699,999,999,820.

What is wrong with you people? Everyone of you is gloating @ the misfourtune of a fellow American. Shame on all of you! Life is too short to be so cynical!

the rich white people did it

Interesting. Do you know if someone stole either George or Jeb Bushes' wallets, they'd find Martinez folded inside with all the other receipts one shoves in a wallet because you've bought something?

[gene]

Now, the Senator has a "feel' for all the times Congress has 'lifted our wallets."

the poor black people did it

Obama’s Birth in Kenya

(Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania – 10/06/08) - Philip J. Berg, Esquire, the Attorney who filed suit against Barack H. Obama challenging Senator Obama’s lack of “qualifications” to serve as President of the United States, announced today that Obama and Democratic National Committee [DNC] filed a Joint Motion for Protective Order to Stay Discovery Pending a Decision on the Motion to Dismiss (which was) filed on 09/24/08.

While legal, Berg stated he is “outraged as this is another attempt to hide the truth from the public; it is obvious that documents do not exist to prove that Obama is qualified to be President.” The case is Berg v. Obama, No. 08-cv-04083.

Their joint motion indicates a concerted effort to avoid the truth by attempting to delay the judicial process, although legal, by not resolving the issue presented: that is, whether Barack Obama meets the qualifications to be President.

It is obvious that Obama was born in Kenya and does not meet the “qualifications” to be President of the United States pursuant to our United States Constitution. Obama cannot produce a certified copy of his “Vault” [original long version] Birth Certificate from Hawaii because it does not exist.

HOMELESS 'DRIVEN' TO VOTE OBAMA

CLEVELAND - Volunteers supporting Barack Obama picked up hundreds of people at homeless shelters, soup kitchens and drug-rehab centers and drove them to a polling place yesterday on the last day that Ohioans could register and vote on the same day, almost no questions asked.

The huge effort by a pro-Obama group, Vote Today Ohio, takes advantage of a quirk in the state's elections laws that allows people to register and cast ballots at the same time without having to prove residency.

Republicans have argued that the window could lead to widespread voter fraud because officials wouldn't have an opportunity to verify registration information before ballots were cast.

Among the volunteers were Yori Stadlin and Vivian Lehrer of the Upper West Side, who got married last week and decided to spend their honeymoon shepherding voters to the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections.

Early today, Stadlin's van picked up William Woods, 59, at the soup kitchen of the Bishop Cosgrove Center.

"I never voted before," Woods said, because of a felony conviction that previously barred him from the polls. "Without this service, I would have had no way to get here."

11:56 -- keep pushing that garbage and we'll see what the courts think about the panama canal zone. idiots.

[ocean90]

Nobody cares about this.....he probably paid someone to steal it so he could make the news

whites need 4 years of black president to wake-up...

[Kenneth]

Conservatives must be getting scared - I don't think posting lies about Obama on an unrelated message board is going to win you guys the race.

Two books, closed files

How is it that a relatively unknown man wrote two autobiographical books setting forth his thoughts but refuses to allow his records and writings at Occidental College, Columbia, and Harvard be released? What happened to this 'open' book?

The Audacity of Obama

How can a black separatist like Obama be a president to all the people and lead in an inclusive way? Why would he aspire to be president of all the people when he openly espouses separatist views that aren't healthy in today's world? So much of him is contradictory: his criminal associates and his past words which are coming back to haunt him. No amount of denial on his part would ever make me believe he feels the appropriate allegiance to the country he wishes to lead. I am afraid...very afraid.

12:05 - like it did South Africa much good... NOT!

[Jay]

I don't care if Obama comes from the planet Romulus, wants to eat our cats and impregnate all of the goats at Lowry Park Zoo to build a new race to enslave the Earth - it doesn't make John McCain any better of a candidate, nor does it make Palin any more qualified or less vitriolic in her unsubstantiated attacks. But it does mean that you have nothing intelligent to say about your own candidate.

[FrugalFuturist]

Vote Obama. The other guy's vote won't matter according to the projected racial demographics of the United States in the not so far future.

[One Voter]

Well said, Jay.

Looks like the John Birch Society logged in this morning. What's the matter guys, still haven't found a job? And under a Republican administration? Go figure.

[mike]

Hey True Blue - are you sure that's not true red (as in neck)?

Don't you conservatives understand? It is not that we are all big Obama fans, but I would vote for a toaster over the Republican candidates, MCSame and Caribou Barbie. What a joke!

[Rick]

lololol how do we know its true?? good way to get revoted back in to senate..and why renta car..cant he use his own car..THEY CALL ME RICK.

Caribou Barbie!!!!LOL

Awesome.

Neo-cons, you won't read these pieces because they'll tear your claims to shreds, but I offer them anyway, as we can't let outright lies go unanswered:

that was freakin funny! Ill take the guy who graduated top of Harvard over the bottom of the Navy Academy. Mccain Should have been pres 8 yearsago, instead of Bush. But hes to old and his time is now. Real Change sounds good. Since when was intelligence not an important qualification of a leader?

[Kathy]

I've been having quite a few brain farts the last couple of days, so maybe it's just me. Many of the comments seem to be totally off topic or just do not make any sense at all.

That's a large amount of cash to be taking to a football game. Sure it wasn't a race track?
