We’re 11 days out from the election and although it’s very close, Mitt Romney has the momentum and appears to be a little bit ahead, although it’s possible it could still go either way. Although poll numbers tend to be particularly fluid this late in the race, the best way to break things down is […]
Talk about wearing your politics on your sleeve. An elitist clique of fashion designers has banded together to raise money for celebrity-in-chief Barack Obama and browbeat their customers into supporting him. Even worse, the Beautiful People who dress the Powerful People are putting increased pressure on conservatives to stay out of the business altogether. Out: […]
On TV, my Fox colleague Bill O’Reilly says, “The recession was brought on largely by greedy Wall Street corporations.” Give me a break. Bill’s smart. If he believes such things, we who care about freedom have done a poor job communicating economics. Blaming problems on “greed” is a mindless cliche. Yes, Wall Street was greedy […]
Jon Hubbard, a Republican member of the Arkansas House of Representatives, has a book, titled “Letters to the Editor: Confessions of a Frustrated Conservative.” Among its statements for which Hubbard has been criticized and disavowed by the Republican Party is, “The institution of slavery that the black race has long believed to be an abomination […]
I suspect most voters watching Monday night’s debate found it pretty boring. President Obama wanted to force Mitt Romney into saying something stupid. Romney didn’t take the bait. So pretty much nothing changed the dynamics of the race. But what if something did? What if Obama announced in a fit of pique that “America doesn’t […]
PARIS — There’s a good chance that American voters will screw up the presidential election. “How could you say such a thing when in a democracy the people are, by definition, correct?” you ask. Because there’s no such thing as collective intelligence, that’s why. Sure, there are individuals within a given society who happen to […]
As incredible as it sounds, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) — an arm of the United Nations — is sending more than 44 election monitors to observe the U.S. election and report on voter suppression activities at the polls. The OSCE observers will come from Europe and Central Asia and will […]
President Barack Obama won the final presidential debate because it was on foreign policy, and the president’s foreign policy — unlike his domestic spending — is popular with the American people. Mitt Romney didn’t win the debate, but he did undercut Team Obama. Obamaland spent the day hitting Romney for being too warlike, too much […]
President Obama was on the ropes in the polls after the first presidential debate. After the second presidential debate, he hit the mat in the polls. And after the third presidential debate, he looks to be down for the count. The question, of course, is why. Looking at the debates alone doesn’t tell the full […]
Former South Dakota Democratic Senator George McGovern, who died Sunday, had all manner of evil said about him because of his opposition to the Vietnam War. He was called unpatriotic, disloyal, an appeaser and an enabler of communism. Those were the printable slanders. Many conservatives at the time believed in the “domino theory,” that if […]
Ze’ev Jabotinsky: was a Zionist prophet whose words should still be remembered: “A great commotion is currently afoot in Zionism, caused by the community of the seekers of peace, whose intention is to achieve (by way, of course, of preaching to the Jews alone) agreement with the Arabs. Frankly, it is difficult to avoid a feeling […]
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 […]
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 […]
A new study by the Pew Research Center finds that two thirds of social media users are also active in politics. The study found that 66 percent of adult social media users (which is 39 percent of all U.S. adults) had promoted political or socio-political issues and one third used their social media to post […]
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. At this late stage in the campaigns I assumed most people already know for whom they will be voting in the […]
Is hotcoldwetdry dead as a political policy? (via Climate Depot, which has a good roundup of hotcoldwetdry being ignored) (UK Guardian) The Pentagon ranks it as a national security threat and, left unchecked, climate change is expected to cost the US economy billions of dollars every year — and yet it has proved the great […]
I’m not going to write a whole lot about the debate, since I only saw a few snippets, being at a friends house watching the Bears-Lions game, and John Hawkins does a good job of breaking it all down. Two interesting ones I did hear (while walking in the kitchen for a beer or food, […]
Obama’s Economic Problem: He’s Crushed The Middle-Class The Obama campaign is sinking and in a rapid fashion. With the economy being the number one issue in the election and now that voters have begun to appraise Obama’s economic record, his reelection chances have been turned upside down. A CNN poll taken just after the second […]
7) Attacking me is not an agenda. 6) Unfortunately, nowhere in the world is America’s influence greater today than it was four years ago. 5) Well, (China) sells us about this much stuff every year (Big). And we sell them about this much stuff every year (Small). So it’s pretty clear who doesn’t want a […]
There are fourteen days left until the election and the few people who haven’t made up their minds yet are independent voters. So, rather than preaching to the choir, it seems like a good time to explain to those remaining undecided voters why Mitt Romney should be their choice. 1) Mitt is from a blue […]
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 […]
Last night’s debate had the same format as debate one, except it was on foreign policy. The moderator was Bob Schieffer and I have to admit that I wasn’t very hopeful about him calling it right down the middle. This is the final debate: Obama and Schieffer vs. Romney. #debates — John Hawkins (@johnhawkinsrwn) October […]
Barack Obama’s signature achievement is the driving force behind the reason he can’t deliver an economic recovery. He has greatly miscalculated the patience and expectation level of the American people. Clearly the American people envisioned a noticeable recovery by now and they have grown tired of the excuses and the blame game. They have been […]
It was a little much when President Barack Obama said that he was “offended” by the suggestion that his administration would try to deceive the public about what happened in Benghazi. What has this man not deceived the public about? Remember his pledge to cut the deficit in half in his first term in office? […]
Have you noticed how the Obama campaign has stepped up its class warfare rhetoric as we draw closer to Election Day? President Barack Obama constantly resorts to this tactic because he’s simply unable to defend his own record in office, as 23 million Americans are out of work or underemployed and the economy remains in […]
Stephen Moore, of the Wall Street Journal’s editorial board, reported Friday that the Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate from Arizona, Congressman Jeff Flake, has little support among some powerful big businessmen in Arizona: “In his razor-tight race for Arizona’s open Senate seat, Republican nominee Jeff Flake — a six-term U.S. congressman — recently met […]
