Of course you do. I have family members who plan to vote for him. So? So email the following article to them, each and every one. I just did.

A reply to a commenter on Steve’s “About All that Ron Paul business…”
which can be found here concerning the RNC, delegates, Ron Paul speaking / not speaking, nomination, and the like. His problem was not with Ron Paul but with his supporters. I concur (having had to deal with nastiness of some even back in 2008). So he (and I) expected some commenters in opposition and our expectations were met.
Given the set up here at the ‘Grok, I also get notification (and have to approve / disapprove) of comments inbound on all the posts. Given that Steve’s post was almost a month old, when a comment by RageFury came in today, I spent the time reading that long comment in which much time had to have been spent. But one line:
“I previously thought you guys were better than this…”
caught my eye and of course I had to answer:
“nor will I vote for Obama who only gets a potential 4 more years of horrible country crushing policy” and ” I previously thought you guys were better than this.”
To the former – to use that old phrase: “You ain’t see nothing yet!” Obama has figured out that with the Senate locked up by Reid, and the House Rs cowering behind the idea that they’d be responsible for a shutdown if they even thought about growing a spine, Obama has become enamored with doing what he wants without Congress – an FDR on steroids by issuing declaration upon decree. He has become addicted to being a dictator – he knows that he can do what ever he wants NOW and when the Courts nullify a Dept decree, the Secretary of the Dept just uses another way to do it all again (e.g., Salazar in stopping drilling in the Gulf, the NLRB’s actions, and the FCC at doing Net Neutrality by other means, just to name three). Recent History is very much predictive of what he will do the next four – only much faster, much bigger and FAR more Liberty destroying than this first term. You think he’s packed on the Debt thus far? His next target, already under attack, is Liberty and Freedom and he is well on the way to destroying that.
And you, RageFury, among others that will not pull the lever for Obama’s enemy…
Obama Admin Shoots First and Aims Later…[UPDATE and bumped]
[UPDATE: Talk about shooting first and aiming later. Every White House claim was wrong. From the Weekly Standard:
For nine days, the Obama administration made a case that virtually everyone understood was untrue: that the killing of our ambassador and three other Americans in Benghazi, Libya, was a random, spontaneous act of individuals upset about an online video—an unpredictable attack on a well-protected compound that had nothing do to with the eleventh anniversary of 9/11.
These claims were wrong. Every one of them. But the White House pushed them hard. ]
In yet another episode, Sheriff, and town prevaricator, B. H. Obama mistakenly rebukes his rascally rival Romney for acts unbecoming a gentleman, only to find that it is his own deputies that are the quick draw charlatans.
B.H. Obama said last week that Romney, “seems to have a tendency to shoot first and aim later.” He continued, “It’s important for you to make sure that the statements that you make are backed up by the facts. And that you’ve thought through the ramifications before you make ‘em.”
Good advice, Sheriff. Though you might want to share that with members of your staff posse. On a previous episode, your Press Secretary, Calamity Carney, was shooting wildly from the podium and not hitting a lick of truth.
Well the adventures continue…
Obama Asked How To Get A Job By College Student, He Nervously Giggles and Says Go To College!?
A college student asked President Jobless about finding a job in the United States. After his mawkishly glib attempt at easing the tension with a joke punctuated by nervous laughter, he replied and said the economy’s been tough the last for years and followed that with, “the most important thing you can do… is to … Read more
And if you give Obama 4 more years of Government Markets…
…including that of Government Healthcare: (H/T: Instapundit)
This seems about right – but he’s WAY too polite
‘Grok friend Chan over at Weekend Pundit has a quick succinct summary of Barack Hussein Obama’s 4 years: Despite the water-carrying the MSM is doing for Obama, the narrative has been shifting from Romney’s perceived ‘deficiencies’ to Obama’s failures, both foreign and domestic. His Middle East foreign policy has been shown to be a disaster … Read more
Media Revolt? Don’t Hold Your Breath.
The Univison interview of Barack Uh..Um..Er..Oh..Bama will go down in history as perhaps the first time Barack Obama has had to face tough questions, as president, from the media. This is in part because the media loves him, and in part due to the administrations ability to use that love-affair to control the message, by controlling the questions. So did the Obama cabal just assume Univision was safe territory? It wasn’t.
The interviewers asked hard questions and had no patience for all the side-stepping and posturing, summed up in the quest to understand how, having complete control of congress and the White House for two years, they completely ignored immigration policy. Democrats did on all counts, ignore it. Obama tried to blame Republicans.
Obama also tried to blame Bush for Fast and Furious but previous similar programs were canceled by Bush becasue they didn’t work. ABC news is first out of the gate to call Obama out on it.
Why Aren’t they Free?
Why aren’t they Free? Because taxpayers are not paying for them, that’s why. Mr. Redistribution isn’t about to give up money for his campaign just so you can wear his gear. Although mandatory purchases are not out of the question after the election (should he win). You can wear it while you look longingly at … Read more
And what will the empty chair’s retort be to Clint?
We’re waiting…..you cannot vote “Present” on this 3am call or more people will be killed on your watch… (H/T: Instapundit)
Our government is spinning out of control….
Skip wrote about it yesterday HERE. It’s worth revisiting to see the updated comments. Brownshirts. In the middle off the night. On trumped up charges. With plenty of TV cameras there. This sucks. Our President does too. He is…something other than what a President should be. This is simply disgusting.
Fall is the time for yard sales…..are you doing one for Obama??
Ugh. First, the audacity of asking that in lieu of a wedding gift as you and your spouse start your new life together, consider having them just send money to a political campaign (Obama’s). I know Michelle all wants us to move more and eat less better, but to skip a meal and then send … Read more
“Obama’s in.”
Ben Stein wrote an interesting piece in The American Spectator today.
In it he makes various observations and comes to various conclusions, as follow:
Bill Maher Made A Film That Mocked Islam
I never saw the movie (almost no one did) but according to Breitbart.com the last 20 minutes of the Bill Maher angry-atheist-Christian bashing is free speech vanity film, Religulous, makes a “damning case against Islam. Maher’s films tumbled in and out of theaters a few years back while–Osama was still above water–without any incident on … Read more
Glen Reynolds nails it – “Why Barack Obama should resign”
What do you say about a Government that care more about its image, more about its power, and more about re-election than doing what it is supposed to be doing? I don’t often put up entire posts – but this one deserves to be read in it entirety – Glen Reynolds aka “Mr. Instapundit” aka The BlogFaddah” (emphasis mine):
WHY BARACK OBAMA SHOULD RESIGN. Just for the record, this is what it looked like for a man who made a film that made the Obama Administration uncomfortable:
Here’s the key bit: “Just after midnight Saturday morning, authorities descended on the Cerritos home of the man believed to be the filmmaker behind the anti-Muslim movie that has sparked protests and rioting in the Muslim world.”
When taking office, the President does not swear to create jobs. He does not swear to “grow the economy.” He does not swear to institute “fairness.” The only oath the President takes is this one:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
Unease and Anxiety walks upon the land – Has a Preference Cascade started?
What is a Preference Cascade? A great definition after the jump – but think how quickly the TEA Party movement started three years ago.
Part 1: I generally do my gun and ammo purchasing at one of two gun shops (unpaid plugs: Belmont Firearms on Rte 106 in Belmont, NH (and I have a membership at their indoor range) and Skip’s Gun & Sport Shop in Bristol, NH). Well, TMEW and I had stopped practice shooting for a while and one day we both looked at each other and said “Hey, we haven’t gone to the range in a long time….” and we’ve restarted. Looking at what I had on hand, I went up to Skip’s to get some ammo for the Walther P22 that TMEW uses a lot and for which BF didn’t have in stock (yes, I could have ordered it, but I hadn’t been up to Skip’s for a long time and wanted to see the results of their expansion). Bought some other ammo types, a new range bag for TMEW, a handgun rack for the safe, and a few other things that go boom!
Anyways, I ended talking with the clerk at the counter, and a comment was made (seeing the cases of 9mm and .380 I put on the counter) that people were not really buying ammo by the box (20, 25, 50, et al) anymore but rather , more and more, by the case (e.g., 500 or 1,000 rounds at a whack). And it isn’t by just single people coming in but groups of people, or a single person buying for a whole gaggle of folks. She looked at me and said words to the effect “People are getting nervous and anxious – people are not sure what is about to happen next.”

Obama, you’re no Margaret Thatcher when it comes to Free Speech
Glen Reynolds over at Instapundit is just.all.over.this Obama #FAIL and the way it illustrates the hypocrisy that ReProgressives and Socialists have between the words they speak and what they want you to believe about them, and the actions that belie those words and public beliefs, as he floats all over the blogosphere and reports back:
Compare Margaret Thatcher and Rushdie to Obama and Nakoula.
When Salman Rushdie had a death fatwa pronounced on him for a novel considered insulting to Islam, Margaret Thatcher immediately ordered a protective detail to be sent to Rushdie, who took him to an undisclosed secure location. They have been protecting him ever since. Bear in mind that Rushdie had been a severe and vocal critic and political opponent of Thatcher.
Compare and contrast to Obama and Holder’s treatment of Nakoula.
Indeed. Margaret rushed not just to defend a private citizen and his thoughts / speech (Salmon Rushdie) but more importantly, one of the primary pillars of Classical Western Liberalism: Free Speech. Sadly, it seems since that time, Britain has come to embrace a perverse version of Political Correctness in its stead, but at that time, Thatcher understood the power of Free Speech.
Frankly, so does Obama – and fears it.
The Press response to the Naked Emperor…cover-up and deflection
And it has been going on for a long time: “Let’s talk a little media bias here. The media, I think, wants Kerry to win. And I think they’re going to portray Kerry and Edwards …as being young and dynamic and optimistic and all, there’s going to be this glow about them that some, is … Read more
