Hey….how about a little reality check.  Shouldn’t this be the new Obama Campaign 2012 poster?  In the understatement of the millennium,  Obama’s already agreed that in regards to the economy, we’re not “where we need to be”.  In fact, this has been the worst recession since the Great Depression.   We’ve got 46 million Americans now receiving food stamps, and more than one-third of the U.S. population receiving some form of welfare….but Mitt Romney’s supposed to make things worse?

I think it’s time we we start spreading this little quote around…

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America ‘s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America ‘s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, “the buck stops here.’ Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.” 
~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006

It sounds to me like a producer “sound over” from a production member in the audio feed.  A “live mike” behind the scenes at Fox News catches someone calling Sarah Palin a “zealot“?  Listen and decide for yourself.

Update: Brit Hume took to Twitter to claim the voice was his and the word is “salad.”

Jim Hoft shares via Conservatives for Palin  who reported: (more…)

Hey, wha the….  Bounce Houses?…. Duuuude.

“I want to make sure that when the Republican Party loses, terribly to, in my opinion, the worst president in history, I want [them to know] it’s because they systematically shut out the most intelligent, most youthful and active voting bloc in American history,” said Ron Paul voter Mike Timoney.

(Via BigFurHat @iOTW)  All throughout the Paulbot invasion, armed only with their rudeness and delusions, I tried to tell the hot pocket brigade that the huge flaw in their system gaming was that the majority of the voters would have stomped them into small piles of Reynold’s Wrap if the popular votes were dismissed and the nomination was simply handed to Shaky McMerkins.

Many modern-day political followers would proclaim that no modern-era President or politician was ever as hated as George W Bush.

Against the backdrop of visible hate they might just be right.

However, against the ideology of defining hate level by the strength of the hater, more people still would attach the “most hated” label to Karl Rove.

Each contingent might just be right; it is, quite simply and historically, too early to tell.

However, I would argue the most hated, and subsequently most influential, man is actually the person who gave rise to both Karl Rove and George W Bush, Lee Atwater.

Lee Atwater was the mentor for Karl Rove, and subsequently under his tutelage “The architect” was born. Were it not for the messaging system of Karl Rove, learned at the knee of the master Atwater, few would doubt the 2004 electoral victory of Dubya.

But what made Lee Atwater so darned good is exactly what is needed right now.    It was Atwater who helped bring Ronald Reagan to victory against Jimmy Carter.   A look at Atwater’s messaging style could seriously benefit today’s patriots. (more…)

Aaaaarrrgh….. (that’s me shouting at the conservative coalition).    Why do people continue to sell the left-wing ideological media narrative and fuel their insufferably flawed talking points?   Why?   For the love of God,….   WHY?

Everyone is selling the storyline of GOP Governor Charlie Crist endorsing Obama and speaking at the DNC convention.   Who gives a crap?   Crist is a PROG and always has been a PROG.   His home is the DNC…. it should come as no surprise.

Hello?….   Anyone?….   Did Charlie Crist run as a GOP candidate for Senate?    NO.  He ran as an independent.   Charlie Crist was kicked out of the GOP by THE PEOPLE in the state of Florida who recognized him and his like-minded ideology for what it was: opportunistic self-serving big government stupidity.

R. Lee Ermey, the actor best known for his role as the drill sergeant in Stanley Kubrick’s “Full Metal Jacket,” claims he was fired by GEICO for criticizing President Obama.

During an impromptu interview with TMZ, Ermey also said, “If you’re a conservative in this town, you better watch out” (videos follow with transcribed highlights and commentary):

After being asked about his GEICO commercial wherein he played a psychiatrist calling his patient a “jackwagon,” Ermey said, “GEICO fired me because I had, I wasn’t too kind about speaking with the, about the administration, so the present administration. So they fired me.” (more…)

There is something going on, something odd, with returning combat military soldiers.   They are closely tracked, there is a concerted and coordinated following of their activity, and, in many cases, odd interventionist steps by the federal government via law enforcement to remove/restrict their assimilation into mainstream society.

I don’t know how to connect all these seemingly random, yet not disparate, dots into a cogent discussion thread, but something is definitely afoot.   Something.

We saw it recently with the former Marine who was removed from his home for a facebook post questioning government; and in a larger sense, that one example does not stand alone.  Located within various chat-rooms, websites, patriot corners etc. etc. you will find multiple examples of government officials taking custody of veterans under various auspices, mostly psychological concerns.

A couple of examples from similar stories below: (more…)

On August 15th former Marine Brandon Raub was arrested by the local police and FBI for comments he made on his Facebook page.   Yes, he was arrested specifically, and only, for comments made on his Facebook page.  (more…)

Traditionally speaking Republicans are insufferably inept at messaging; the messaging on the Ryan Budget is a great example of their ineptitude.

President Obama takes $716 Billion out of the Medicare Program via expenditures and reimbursements to medical providers.   This is a factual consequence of “Obamacare”.  It is not disputed.   While the argument they should face, and be held to account for, is about “impact”, the factual reality of the shift of the money stands as a consequence of Obamacare and the Romney/Ryan team is correct to hold President Obama accountable for it.

However, the counter point from the Obama campaign is to continually point out that in Paul Ryan’s budget proposal he also maintained these same $716 billion reductions.  Subsequently they frame the Ryan budget as hypocritical.    This is where Republicans suck. (more…)
