Romney Expresses Optimism Obama Sharpens Criticism Updated with links to the stories and bumped – Mike. H/T Twitchy
“GOVERNMENT HAS BECOME so vast and impersonal,” the presidential challenger asserted, “that its interests diverge more and more from the interests of ordinary citizens. For a generation and more, the government has sought to meet our needs by multiplying its bureaucracy. Washington has taken too much in taxes from Main Street, and Main Street has … Read more
Yuck. I sent out this link yesterday to some of my friends concerning what was tropical storm Sandy. Yikes – another “Perfect Storm” brewing – warm air, cold front, blocking front – just freaking great! So, I went back to the Weather Nerd and picked this up: Durn, only two of the models have this … Read more
Warning – This ad contains graphic images of aborted babies.
Jane Roe (Norma McCorvey) offers her abbreviated story in a political ad set to air in Florida.
“I was persuaded by feminist attorneys to lie; to say that I was raped, and needed an abortion. It was all a lie.
“Since then, over 50 million babies have been murdered. I will take this burden to my grave.
“Please, don’t follow in my mistakes. DO NOT vote for Barack Obama. He murders babies.”

The Obama campaign has released a picture book of President Obama, complete with pulpit pablum, and is trying to pass it off as his second term vision. While a lot of people, including the media and Democrats, are disappointed, I think this may well be the most honest product to come from this campaign…ever. No … Read more
Public school teachers, as a matter of record, have recorded more incidences of sexual misconduct than any other group we know of. But because these events are often unreported, under-reported, (not sensationalized by the press or any particular group), or just concealed from the public, there is a false perception that it can’t be all that bad.
James O’Keefe can put another notch in his belt – his undercover agent went to visit Patrick Moran, Congressman Jim Moran’s (D-VA) son who is working on his Dad’s campaign (for his 12th term). As with a number of his Project Veritas‘s videos, the target was voter fraud. Knowing how much and how often Democrats … Read more

From the logorrhea that is the administrations communication effort on Benghazi-gate echoes a discordant, but somehow familiar, verse: Clinton assembles legal defense team. For those of you old enough to remember the cringing embarrassment that shivered through the nation as the president of the day struggled to re-cast the meaning of the word “is” into … Read more
One provision of Obama-Care requires employers to recognize anyone who works 30 hours a week as a full time employee.
The pertinent section (1513) of the law reads as follows:
(4) Full-time employee
The term “full-time employee” means, with respect to any month, an employee who is employed on average at least 30 hours of service per week.
The Secretary, in consultation with the Secretary of Labor, shall prescribe such regulations, rules, and guidance as may be necessary to determine the hours of service of an employee, including rules for the application of this paragraph to employees who are not compensated on an hourly basis.
Anyone working 30 hours will require employer paid benefits, or the employer will be fined for failure to comply. SO where’s all that money going to come from? You and me.
Regarding the Presidential election…it’s over. There’s little question now that Obama will lose the election. Even with the news blackout by the mainstream media, the truth is emerging: It is becoming clear that our President left Ambassador Stevens and other Benghazi consulate personnel to die in the Al Qaeda attack on September 11th.
Whether it was a cold calculation by the President, or merely fearful and incompetent dithering, the cover-up is unraveling…disastrously so for Obama and the Democrats.
The only question now is how large Romney’s victory will be, and whether he will have “coattails” to boost other Republicans across the finish line to victory. I here and now predict he will. If I am right, then President Romney will have the White House, and the Republicans will have majorities in both the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives.
The question is…
Face it – That President Obama did not help himself last nite debate has been proven as none of the polls showed much of a lessening of Mittmentum. In addition, a lot of folks in the Right Blogosphere are tittering about the fund raising letter that went out at midnight last night from His Moppiness:
Skip —
I don’t want to lose this election.
Not because of what losing would mean for me — Michelle and I will be fine no matter what happens.
But because of what it would mean for our country and middle-class families.
This race is very close.
I’m not willing to watch the progress you and I worked so hard to achieve be undone.
No kidding sport – who spends almost a $1 Billion to just lose? Just for one observation, try this one at Hot Air. But I haven’t seen anyone talk about the earlier one – or perhaps I got to be in the Extra Special catagory and only I got it? Face it, if the above was The Mopiest, this HAS to be The Lamest. Effort? Any?
Winston Churchill: “Americans can always be counted on to do the right thing…after they have exhausted all other possibilities.” I just returned Mark Levin’s Ameritopia to ‘Grok friend Jean who has been VERY patient in waiting for me to return it. It is a very disturbing book to read (listen to) as when one compares … Read more
And let’s not forget about the speech in Berlin: I know my country has not perfected itself. At times, we’ve struggled to keep the promise of liberty and equality for all of our people. We’ve made our share of mistakes, and there are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to … Read more
When it comes to taxes paid, what really matters when getting down to brass tacks, is the total amount that is hoovered up by Government. Once again, we see that NH does well indeed:
The top 10 states with the lowest tax burdens as a percentage of state income are as follows:
- Alaska, 7.0 percent
- South Dakota, 7.6 percent
- Tennessee, 7.7 percent
- Louisiana, 7.8 percent
- Wyoming, 7.8 percent
- Texas, 7.9 percent
- New Hampshire, 8.1 percent
- Alabama, 8.2 percent
- Nevada, 8.2 percent
- South Carolina, 8.4 percent
The U.S. average state-local tax burden is 9.9 percent, according to the Tax Foundation, which translates into total state-local taxes paid per capita of $4,111, based on an average income of $41,146.

Clint Eastwood lends his charm to this Ad by American Crossroads called ‘At Stake.’
The big joke of the week has been a UNH poll that showed Obama up by 8 points in New Hampshire. The UNH poll is a huge joke, and just for good measure, one of the most accurate and reliable polls around just came in with a different set of numbers. Rasmussen is reporting today … Read more
Tom Cronin with Ovide for Governor sent out a press release today questioning this statement by Democrat Maggie Hassan.
“One of the things I really worked on in the State Senate was making sure that when we develop policy; everybody comes to the table to do it. … I’ve always found it really important that I can hear different views at the debate in front of me because that informs really good policy making.”
Translation: Maggie can see your lips moving but she is still going to vote like a radical left wing tax and spend New Hampshire Democrat.
Don’t believe me? Just ask some folks who served in the State Senate with her.
