The electorate wakes up

Regardless of what happens next Tuesday, Obama has succeeded in waking up millions of Americans to what we have lost, not just the last 4 years, but our general carelessness with our freedoms. If Romney wins, he'll have millions paying attention, and we'll have our vigilant, sleeping media back on the job they've not done during the Obama years. The Benghazi fiasco makes me realize that without the media, we would have never known about the Watergate plumbers. And no one died.

In one poll, for instance, he found that 42 percent of 18- and 19-year-olds identified as “conservative,” compared with just over one-third who said they were “liberal.” By comparison, those proportions were nearly flipped for 22- to 24-year-olds: 39 percent said they were “liberal,” and a third called themselves “conservative.” It was much the same for older twentysomethings.

Tina Wells, head of Buzz Marketing, an agency that tracks the attitudes of young people, has noticed this shift to the right. Her own researchers have found that the youngest adults are much more likely to label themselves “conservative,” “moderate” or “independent” than older millennials, a term for young adults who’ve entered adulthood in the new millennium.

Our media

The media (and some of my readers) will ridicule anything that isn't about Obama. And they will hide anything like arms running in the Middle East that makes Obama look bad. The media will say collecting supplies for people affected by one of the largest storms in 2 centuries is silly, but think what they would say if Romney did all out campaign?  Obama won’t have to lift a bag of groceries—he’ll just write a check on our behalf.  Obama has been campaigning for 2012 since January 2009, and it’s been a full court press since he appeared with his supporters in matching t-shirts at the funerals in Arizona 2 years ago.  That was his kick off.  Obama never misses an opportunity to campaign.  Right now, when the polls are going against him, he’s staying put in Washington, DC, pretending to pay attention and to care.  Where was he on September 11, 2012 when he watched the drama for 7 hours, and then abandoned his men?

Without the media, he hopes we’ll forget . . .

Patricia’s story

In her job training at Planned Parenthood:

"When the medical assistant who was training me emptied out the contents from the bag into the petri-dish I couldn’t handle the smell. She then grabbed a pair of tweezers and started searching inside the petri-dish. She then found an arm, grasped it with the tweezers and held it up to the light. She said, “This is one part -it’s the arm.” I could see the detail in the baby’s hand, the knuckles and the fingernails formed. She then found the second arm. I was horrified at what I was witnessing. I tried to act normal like it wasn’t affecting me. She then lifted one of the legs up to the light with the tweezers. I could see the small tiny hairs on the skin, the lines around the knees forming and the toenails. But when she held up the head of the baby, that’s when I knew I had murdered my three children. On the head I could see the nose, the nostrils, the eyelashes and even the eyebrows forming."

The sugar daddy vote

"Unmarried women voted for Obama by a margin of 70-29 in the 2008 election. Now keep in mind that the Democrat party is for abortion, same-sex marriage, taxing and regulating job creators, massive deficits and spiraling debt. And the Democrats also support anti-family policies like pushing premarital sex onto young people at early ages, mandatory funding of failing public schools, no-fault divorce, and subsidizing welfare programs which make it easier for women to have fatherless children."

Obama is losing support among all groups

Are they all racists?

Democrats have been losing the white vote constantly since 1964, and John Kerry lost the white vote in 2004.  Were they voting by race or by politics.  Isn’t it racist for Democrats to assume everything Obama does is based on race?

No Panera’s this morning

High winds, sleet and snow from Sandy. I'm skipping the coffee shop this morning, but I'm guessing the bakers and clerks will be there.

"It's like a weirdly inverse chart, where the folks with secure government jobs, the ones with SUVs and more affluent addresses, get to stay home, bundle up and wait out the storm. And the folks working the minimum-wage jobs, who frequently rely on public transportation, have to find a way — any way — to make it to work." Washington Post

 

Liberals and the blame game

If Romney wins next week, Conservatives will be in the same boat.  Liberals will expect Romney to make good on all promises by Easter 2013.  I mean there was a miracle and a resurrection before, why not in 2013?

CNN/ORC Poll

Sometimes (often) polls are wrong; like in 1980 when they said the Carter/Reagan race was too close to call.

Children singing for Obama—a campaign ad

A record number of people on food stamps, a record number in poverty, the largest tax increase in the history of the nation, hacking away at the 1st amendment, the wars he inherited he's expanded all over the middle east, his green "investments" have blown up in his face, as Commander in Chief he's left his men behind, and yet there's a children's choir Obama ad singing about the dangers of Romney? Is this a joke? Is this child abuse?

Obama’s war against women

Long, Tall Sandy

Obama cancelled campaigning for a storm, but not the attack on the Americans in Libya on 9/11. For that, he blamed a video and went off to party with Beyonce and Jay-Z the next day.

The storm will also postpone the October jobs report so it's not available before the election; the storm will also postpone a hearing on the timeline about who knew what when until after the election.

The most convenient storm in political history.

Obama and Sandy

Obama is right on top of this hurricane. Too bad he was so careless on 9/11 when people were dying in Benghazi while he was watching in real time. Last night on Geraldo at Large Charles Woods, the father of murdered Benghazi SEAL Tyrone Woods, looked into the camera and sent this message to Barack Obama: “It’s better to die a hero than live a coward.”

Obama got a lot of extra TV face time due to Sandy. He usually doesn’t respond to national emergencies, but this one comes during the last week of campaigning.  He monitored the Joplin tragedy from Ireland, and the BP oil spill help was so tardy even Democrat James Carville was criticizing him. 

"The President of the United States could've come down here, he could've been involved with the families of these 11 people" who died in the oil rig's explosion.”

I don’t think he’ll postpone the election (it’s illegal, but that alone wouldn’t stop him, I’m sure SCOTUS would overlook that), because the news about Benghazi just gets worse and eats into his shrinking group of supporters. They’re racists, of course.

12,000 flights cancelled so far.  But even if you’re not in one of the affected states, that sure messes up flights further inland.

Here in Columbus they’re predicting 60 mph winds so we’re not going to our FOOF meeting tonight

Sandy is closing abortion clinics in 8 states!

Daily Herald (suburban Chicago) endorses Romney reversing its 2008 endorsement of Obama because. . .

“At a time when the economy was wracked, he [Obama] chose instead to focus on health care reform. In doing so, his administration chose early on to fight with Congress rather than to work with it. He chose to force his landmark health care bill through Congress without a single Republican vote, significantly contributing to the bitter atmosphere of division in Washington.

His economic initiatives have been heavily bent toward the public sector, a big spending approach that has been aptly derided by Romney as “trickle-down government.”

And however well intended his belief that the Bush tax cuts should be ended for upper-income brackets, his $250,000 benchmark has been remarkably low, as many two-income families and small business owners and others in the suburbs can attest.

More pointedly, we are disappointed in the tone of Obama’s relentless insinuations that wealthy Americans refuse to pay their fair share. That tone is divisive and damaging for the nation and for our economy. It creates villains and victims, and unfairly so.”

Not that it matters in the national sense, because the Chicago machine controls Illinois.

Sandy is a big one

It’s 39 degrees in Columbus today, and the wind is supposed to get bad. Because our area was hit so badly with electrical outages in the summer, people are cleaning out the stores for emergency supplies.  Emergency and utility crews have already gone east—hope we don’t need them here! I hope our relatives in North and South Carolina, and Virginia are safe and well stocked with supplies. Gayle—I know you read my blog—hope you can stay connected to the internet.

CPUSA endorses Obama

Since 1988, the Communist Party USA has not run its own candidates for president and vice-president, preferring instead to work through the Democratic Party. It supported Obama in 2008 and again this year. Accuracy in Media, July 27, 2012

That would explain taking God out of the platform, wouldn't it?

Obama’s war against young women

Actually, if she gets pregnant and her boyfriend, parents, and friends are insisting she get an abortion, she’ll find help at Christian pregnancy centers.  Don’t count on Planned Parenthood.
