And what does that have to do with the McCain campaign?

What did Karl Rove do while when he left the country and defied a Congressional subpoena to testify under oath before the House Judiciary Committee in the political prosecution of former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman? Well, it turns out he was in Yalta — with the president of Georgia.

While Karl Rove was subpoenaed to testify before congress regarding the Don Siegelman case, he was on “vacation” (July 10-13, 2008 – Yalta, Crimea, Ukraine) at the 5th Annual Yalta Meeting. Also in attendance was Mikhail Saakashvili, President of Georgia. Some four weeks after this meeting, Saakashvili attempted to repatriate South Ossetia and started a war with Russia.

We report. You decide.

Would the political animal who promised the Christians to push an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to ban gay marriage in 2004 to get George W. Bush reelected go to Yalta and sucker Saakashvili into starting a conflict with Russia just to benefit John McCain’s presidential campaign?

Nah, that would be a lefty conspiracy theory, right?

With less than three months to go before the 2008 election on November 4, Parker Griffith, the Democrat, leads the Republican, Wayne Parker, by a margin of 45 percent to 40 percent in the race for Congress in District 5 in North Alabama, according to the Capital Survey Research Center.

The election is approaching faster than you may think. It’s time to get educated and find out who is running and what they stand for.
