Rand Paul

As Rand Paul campaigned against Jack Conway for the U.S. Senate seat his website focused on a series of “Where is Jack?” issues. In a “Where’s Waldo?” fashion, the campaign published news releases focusing on the Republican Party view of where Jack Conway stood on an issue, followed by what Rand Paul would do for the state if elected. Rand Paul’s stand on issues included:

1. Dream Act: Rand Paul opposes amnesty for illegal immigrants.http://www.randpaul2010.com/2010/09/dream-act-for-illegal-immigrants-where-is-jack/
2. Cap and Trade: Rand Paul believes Cap and Trade would harm the Kentucky coal industry and if elected would fight against it.http://www.randpaul2010.com/2010/10/obama-wants-cap-and-trade-next-year-where-is-jack/
3. Health care: Rand Paul opposes the 2010 changes to health care plans and would work to overturn what he refers to as “Obamacare” if elected to the United States Senate.http://www.randpaul2010.com/2010/09/as-attorneys-general-open-lawsuit-against-obamacare-where-is-jack/

Clearstream Trial

In 2004, both Dominique de Villepin and Nicolas Sarkozy were running for president in France.
A list showed up that claimed to list clients with secret bankaccounts with Luxembourg-based securities trading house, Clearstream. Sarkozy was on the list. Villepin had gotten his hands on this list, but instead of turning it over to the authorities, he asked a retired general to investigate it. It was proven to be a fake, but by that time it had leaked.
