Campaign 2012 snippets

Alan Dershowitz predicted on 9/11 that President Obama’s apparent snub of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will put the critical swing state of Florida [large Jewish vote] at “substantial risk” in the November election.

What voter fraud? Wendy W. Rosen, the Democrats' hand-picked candidate in Maryland’s 1st Congressional District, was forced to drop out of her race on September 10 after she admitted to illegally voting in both Maryland and Florida in 2006 and 2008. Tampa Bay Times

"For those of us who were counting, in his coronation speech, Obama, the consummate narcissist, said "I" (not in reference but in credit to himself) 55 times and "we" (that's the socialist collective "we" not as in "We, the people...") 75 times. Moreover, in the 40-page Demo platform, Obama is cited on 38 pages more than 200 times. By way of comparison, the 2012 GOP platform makes reference to Mitt Romney once." Mark Alexander, Patriot Post.

More middle east cities in flames, our "free press" journalists caught off mic spinning the news to make Romney look bad, Hillary and some obscure Florida preacher being blamed, and Obama is off campaigning. Did I get that right? Oh, and apparently our ambassador was raped/sodomized by his captors before he was killed. Shouldn't the president stick a little closer to the White House and just float on his own stupendous record rather than campaign? None of his followers will leave him.  This is making him look really, really bad. Unprepared. Unrepentant. Unpresidential.

The other night, before the middle east went up in flames on phony film charges, Glenn Beck had 3 people on his internet TV show talking about security of the American people. I think it was a 9/11 special. He asked, "What is the greatest threat to our security today?" One said, warrantless wire taps, one said the Patriot Act, and the third said, infiltration of our government by the Muslim Brotherhood. Given recent events, I'd choose door #3. I think his name was Patrick Poole, but I'm not sure.

Last night we attended the Upper Arlington GOP gathering at the Greek St. restaurant in Kingsdale--learned 2 things--local candidates are awesome and this is a great place to eat. Mostly women candidates--one an immigrant, one had enlisted in the military when she was 17 later became a lawyer and is running for judge. Another, Stephanie Kunze, is the daughter-in-law of our good friends Wes and Sue. Even if you're sick of the national scene and aren't happy with your party's choice, look around for where you can help a local candidate.
