FactCheck.org: Obama’s False Jobs Creation Claims

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

President Obama has lately been touting the amazing claim that he’s created 5.2 million new jobs as President. His fantastic claim is featured in a new TV. But FactCheck.org says, not so fast. Those claims are “inflated,” to say the least. FactCheck notes that the 5.2 million claim is accurate, such as it is. But […]

 

LA District Attorney Candidate Jackie Lacey’s Influence Pedaling to Avoid Consequences of Car Accident

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It seems Lacey will do or say anything for personal gain. Throughout the years Jackie Lacey has quietly perpetrated an easily-documented battle with the truth, earning the career administrator significant and sizable rewards both personal and political. On top of perjury and union-busting, it has come to this author’s attention that Jackie Lacey, the woefully […]

This Is Why It’s A Waste Of Time To Reach Out To Libertarians

Posted on by John Hawkins

I know some people might say that if the Libertarian Party gathers a high percentage of the vote, it forces the two mainstream parties to try to go after their voters, but that’s not true, because Libertarians have beliefs that are so far out of the mainstream that it’s impossible to try to cater exclusively […]

VOTE FRAUD: Vir. Dem’s Field Director Conspires to Commit Voter Fraud, Forge Docs

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Jim Moran is an extremist, liberal Congressman from the state of Virginia and it appears that his campaign office thinks perpetrating vote fraud is a very good idea.

Ohio: Sen. Sherrod Brown is Stifling Big Government’s Best Friend

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Hey, Ohio, Senator Sherrod Brown is just not working. He’s one of the most extreme, left-wing Senators in Washington and his constant rubber stamping of Obama’s worst, big government boondoggles is hurting the Buckeye State’s economy, not to mention the country. I have to say, that ad is pretty funny. Senator Brown has been awarded […]

 

Game Over

Posted on by Michael Fell

Mitt Romney and Barack Obama argued foreign policy in the final 2012 presidential debate in Boca Raton Fl.:  Romney looked like a solid, strong American Commander in Chief, while Obama resembled an ageing hippie college professor wannabe enraged at having his beliefs successfully debunked in public.

One Liners From Empty Chair Night

Posted on by Gaius

Jonathan Tobin at Commentary: As I wrote last night, President Obama’s attack mode during the Boca Raton debate seemed to suggest that he was the challenger trailing in the race rather than the incumbent nursing an alleged lead. But the president’s nasty streak is also displaying itself on the campaign trail, where he has been […]

Even Slate Magazine’s feminist blog, Double X, which was co-founded by Hanna Rosin, who recently authored The End of Men, thinks the “binders full of women” meme is stupid.:  Amanda Hess wrote on October 17: that she “agree[s] that Romney’s positions on health care, contraception, and the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act will do nothing to […]

 

Playing With Horses and Bayonets

Posted on by Matt Vespa

The debate last night was very boring. : I’m enthused about voting Barack Obama out of office and I think Mitt Romney will win this election, but I definitely see why people probably switched off the debate to watch Monday Night Football or the San Francisco Giants game. : In all, polls show that President Obama pulled […]

Posted on by Donlyn Turnbull

This past week, while riding the bus with other conservative bloggers and podcasters on the way to the FreedomWorks event, FreePAC, in Orlando, Florida, I was reminded the elusive “undecided” voter actually still exists.

From Russia-With Love

Posted on by Michael Fell

Have you ever wondered where MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, The New York Times, Newsweek, Time Magazine et al get their talking points? It is difficult to determine if Chris Matthews is America’s answer to Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey or Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey is Russia’s answer to Chris Matthews. Pravda.ru, Russia’s online neo-KGB government controlled news site, sounds […]

 

Presidential Debate #3: Mitt Vs. Obama on Foreign Policy

Posted on by John Hawkins

Last night’s debate had the same format as debate one, except it was on foreign policy.

5 Things To Watch For In Final Debate, For Those Who Aren’t Watching Football

Posted on by William Teach

First of all, I’d love to know which fools decided scheduling the final debate on a Monday night against football was a bright idea.

Frank Rich Laments: ‘Cockroach’ Tea Party Will Still Win In The End

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

One-time theater critic turned left-wing screedist, Frank Rich, is down in the dumps over that darned ol’ tea party.
