My ultra-liberal sister lives in Paul Ryan’s Congressional district in Wisconsin, so naturally I was curious to hear her take on the newly minted Romney-Ryan team. As expected, I got an earful of Democratic talking points. However, what she said should not be downplayed because you will hear these anti-Ryan arguments ad nauseum from now until November. Here are her direct quotes and Romney supporters | Read More »
war-casualties.jpg (If you can not see the image) There is no topic that raises my blood pressure more than the one pictured above. It is the War in Afghanistan and the question is: “Why in this election year is no one talking about the war and our mounting casualties?” Nothing, I repeat, nothing makes me angrier. So if this piece suddenly stops in mid-sentence | Read More »
So looking forward to attending my first RedState gathering. Especially looking forward to smoking the peace pipe with fellow RedStaters who write nasty comments on my posts! I would also like to meet someone who can show me how to insert photos and videos in my RedState posts. When I insert an image in the template the image disappears when I hit preview. Drives me | Read More »
Recently I had a discussion with an old friend who is an ardent George W. Bush hater and, as a result, will be voting for President Obama again, no matter what. We were discussing the economy and I happened to mention that the average unemployment rate was much lower during Bush’s two terms despite the September 11, 2001 attacks. However, at that moment, I was not | Read More »
A new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll indicates the presidential election is taking a more favorable turn toward Mitt Romney. With the economy as the key issue, voters by the wide margin of63% – 29%, believe Romney’s business background would help him to make good economic decisions relating to job creation, managing the economy and reducing the federal deficit. Perhaps what this new poll is actually reflecting is the | Read More »
As a result of a stroke my 86 year old mother now resides in a nursing home. Last week a nurse’s aide was in her room when an ad for President Obama appeared on television. (Given that my mother resides in Florida, commercials for President Obama’s re-election appear more frequently than those for erectile dysfunction.) While the ad was running the aide, a woman of | Read More »
As Americans become more politically polarized will we choose to patronize or avoid a store, brand, product, or restaurant based on that corporation’s political activity? For example, if you are an active Democrat would you avoid Walmart if you knew that their corporate contributions lean towards Republicans? You could go to Target instead, but their contributions also help fill the GOP coffers. If this information leaves you feeling in | Read More »
Currently the Real Clear Politics electoral map shows President Obama in the lead with 221 electoral votes from states that are either solid, likely or leaning. As most of you know 270 is the number needed to win the presidency. Seeing this chart makes me want to tear my hair out and scream, “What is wrong with you people?” How could Obama be leading 221 | Read More »
Re-posted from PJ Media The fact that Supreme Chief Justice Roberts cast the deciding vote upholding Obamacare means it is time for another world famous Tatler Photo Caption Contest. These two leaders have not only made history this week with the Affordable Care Act ruling but they also have a very interesting personal history. First, in 2005 then Senator Obama voted against the Supreme Court nomination of | Read More »
Even though Team Obama and the Democrats are celebrating today’s Supreme Court decision upholding Obamacare, numerous arguments can be made that this decision is actually bad news for President Obama’s re-election prospects. Chief among them is the Supreme Court has re-branded Obamacare as a tax. Harken back to President Obama’s September, 2009 interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos where Obama vehemently denied that the health care | Read More »
