After crawling up, down, and inside out of everything associated with Sheriff Joe for more than three years, the feds did not find squat…. it was a pure political witch hunt.  In a typical Obama/Holder DOJ manuever the Feds announce the non-finding and dropping of their investigation at 5pm on Friday night of a holiday weekend.   Jerks.

PHOENIX — Federal authorities said Friday that they’re closing their abuse-of-power investigation into Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Arizona without filing charges against him.

Authorities were investigating America’s self-proclaimed toughest sheriff for his part in failed public corruption cases against officials who were odds with him. Arpaio brought cases against a judge and two county officials in 2009.

Federal authorities also decided to not prosecute matters tied to alleged misuse of county credit cards by sheriff’s officials, alleged misspending of jail-enhancement funds and other matters. (more…)

While President Obama continues to campaign and fundraise, Mitt Romney heads to the place where the Obama promise did not work.   The water did not recede.

LAKELAND, Fla. — In a last-minute change of plans, Mitt Romney will head to visit storm-affected areas in New Orleans today, skipping a previously scheduled joint rally with running mate Paul Ryan in the battleground state of Virginia this afternoon.

A Romney aide told ABC News that Romney will “join Gov. Jindal and will meet with first responders, thank them for their work and see areas impacted by the storm in LaFitte, La.”

The Icon

Oscar winning actor and director, and American icon Clint Eastwood appeared at the Republican National Convention where he held an impromptu conversation with an empty chair reflecting President Obama,  saying:

“when somebody does not do the job, well, sometimes we’ve got to let them go”..

Mr. Eastwood was using the empty chair to reference the empty promises and failed policies of President Obama.

In response President Obama tweeted the following: (more…)

Condi Rice delivers a passionate, intelligent and articulate speech to the RNC.   In response to witnessing the articulate message, and the deconstructed Obama Administration ineptitude, Chris Matthews asks Secretary Rice about his primary agenda.

Watch how ridiculous Andrea Mitchell and Chris Matthews are as they continue carrying water for the feeble Democrat narrative:

You can almost sense the embarassment in the voice of Mitchell. The question is so embarassingly out-of-touch, that even she almost appears awkward in following Mr. Tingles instructions. Almost. (more…)

Must watch video.   The only question the videographer missed was asking the Obamabot to define “Rich” and what standard should be applied for progressive considerations.

This is an official Obama/Biden Campaign commerical – Not a Superpac:

@1:01 – Paul Ryan’s views for the United States are viciously, and fiercely, anti-female….

This, from the same Obama/Biden ticket who proclaim:

“Look, the Taliban per se is not our enemy. That’s critical,” Biden said. “There is not a single statement that the president has ever made in any of our policy assertions that the Taliban is our enemy, because it threatens U.S. interests.”

(Via NewsBusters)  During live coverage of the Republican National Convention here in Tampa, Yahoo News Washington bureau chief David  Chalian provided the perfect example of the pervasive anti-Republican bias  Mitt Romney faces in his bid to unseat President Barack Obama.

In video broadcast Monday night by ABC and Yahoo over the Internet, David Chalian  can be heard claiming that GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his wife  Ann are unconcerned about the fate of residents of the New Orleans area who are  currently being hit by Hurricane Isaac.

“They aren’t concerned at all, they are happy to  have a party when black people drown.”

That line elicits laughter from several employees listening in on the  joke.

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.

This latest SEAL ad is scheduled to appear during today’s Republican National Convention.

Story below the fold….  (more…)

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…)
