Neither wants to go back far enough

To respect for life and marriage, to less hype and more hope.

For 2 weeks he continued to enflame unstable mobs

The Obama full team press

Joe Pags summary of the debate Tuesday 10/16:  “Just a quick note to all before I turn in for a few hours.. . I realize we have some liberals here. Don't get frustrated by them. They'll repeat the Obama and lefty lies and think if they say it enough, people will start to believe them. The truth ALWAYS wins. The truth is, one man was spinning and lying tonight and the other was telling the truth and showing his leadership. For that reason alone, Romney wins. .”

Debt relief for students–big give away for wealthy

The student loan bubble will be the next housing bubble, and I haven't heard much about it during this campaign. It's being kicked down the road for the next administration--perhaps Romney will get the blame instead of Bush (if Obama is reelected, we know Bush will be blamed). But according to an article in today’s New York Times it seems the new changes in student debt relief will benefit the wealthy, not the poor.

Surprise! Where would jobs for liberals come from it they didn't create a permanent low-income class?

“. . . the changes introduced by the Obama administration could allow a graduate making $70,000 a year to reduce monthly payments to $448 a month and “have over $100,000 of debt forgiven, . . .  If you are low-income, it doesn’t really give you a big bang,” said Jason Delisle, one of the authors of the study, which estimates that monthly payments for low-income borrowers would drop to $20, from $25, under the changes. “If you are high-income and have a lot of debt, this is a huge giveaway.”

Biden caught in another lie—this time football

Who and when he played against in the 1960s during his college career is not as important as lying about Benghazi or voting for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq (which he lied about during the debate), it does however speak to his character, or worse, his long term memory.

Biden did not play football at the University of Delaware in 1961, 1962, 1963, or 1964, according to past yearbooks nor was he in the student directory in 1963.

"During a campaign stop in Athens, Ohio, on Saturday, Vice President Joe Biden said the last time he was in the town, playing against the Ohio University football team in 1963, he almost got arrested for walking into a girls' dormitory," CBS News Online reported last month.”

Women push Romney into lead

I really do think it was the Biden behavior—reminded to many women of the ex.  Besides, women are in the work place, they own small businesses, they have values. . .

Why are women moving to Romney/Ryan?

By Kelly Monroe Kullberg

Women swinging towards Romney & Ryan. USA Today. Why? Likely because women (like men) care a lot about jobs, national security, Judaeo-Christian faith and freedom, the rule of law, their consciences and families. We've had enough debt, division and scandal for a lifetime.

Benghazi Gate—bigger cover up than Watergate

Tough on Republicans, soft on terrorists

He lied about his support for “the Bush wars” (voted for them) and he lied about the HHS Mandate (there is no allowance or agreement that Catholic Bishops have approved) and lied about who knew what when about Benghazi attacks (facts were known within 24 hours and for 2 weeks Obama, Clinton and Rice lied) and he waffled on abortion (he’s a cafeteria catholic).  Good old, foot-in-mouth Joe  is truth-challenged, and too confused about his own values and the administration’s policies to be a heart beat away from the presidency. 

Hold on. Only half of the nation is outraged

The other half—the Obama supporters are still making excuses for their team.

In fact, Ryan’s Benghazi slam (in the vp debate), right out of the chute, won him the debate. This terrorist attack is going to be a huge issue in the presidential race. Americans are furious at the Obama-Biden-Clinton stupidity and mismanagement surrounding the tragic Benghazi deaths. They are enraged at the Benghazi cover-up. Ryan accused Biden of malfeasance in every aspect of this tragedy. It was a tremendous body slam right from the start.

And Biden misled everyone with a string of falsehoods. He said the administration did not have complete intelligence at the start of the crisis. But we now know they did have sufficient intelligence to realize that the killing of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others had nothing to do with spontaneous reactions to a YouTube video, and that it was a planned al-Qaida attack.

White House "Denies, Deceives, Delays" Truth on Mideast

By Amy Woods, Newsmax, 10.14.2012

Senator Lindsey Graham leveled conspiracy charges against the White House for attempting to cover up the Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the Libyan embassy that killed a U.S. ambassador. Graham said on CBS’ “Face the Nation” he knows for a fact the administration was told within 24 hours of the incident it was carried out by al-Qaida operatives.

“They’re trying to sell a narrative, quite frankly, that the wars are receding and al-Qaida’s been dismantled. And to admit that our embassy was attacked by al-Qaida undercuts that narrative. They never believed the media would investigate. Congress was out of session. It just caught up with them.

“They’re very political when it comes to foreign policy,” Graham said. “When something goes bad, they deny, they deceive, and they delay, and the truth is, we’re not safer. Al-Qaida is alive.”
President Obama told David Letterman two days after the attack it was the result of a controversial video.

“There was never a riot,” Graham said. “There was never a group of people around the embassy. It was a coordinated terrorist attack.”

Romney surging in Ohio

But we still have a lot of confused people, who want four more years of this mess!  High unemployment.  Cover-ups worse than Watergate.  Crony capitalism.  “Just us” in the Justice Department.   Unbelievable.

Theft in office

Million Muppet March

“The Kitchen Cabinet:  Two liberals who oppose Romney's position that PBS should be self-supporting, are planning a "Million Muppet March" just before the November election. Because terrorist attacks, economic depression, and a national debt higher than the nearest solar system pale in comparison to America's desperate need to support PBS with TAX DOLLARS! We love PBS! SELL COMMERCIALS!”

Sesame Street is already self-supporting—makes far more than Mitt Romney, so that at least could be spun off the tax payer payroll.

Oops. He forgot Obama!

“In all of his ranting and defending of the Democratic agenda, Biden failed at his number one job: propping up the boss! In his tireless pursuit of the limelight, Biden has actually set up President Obama up for failure in the next presidential debate.

Do you remember even one MENTION of the President? Or Joe Biden sharing even one of the President’s successes or great leadership traits?

Instead, Biden exposed the vulnerabilities of the Obama administration like open cans of tuna. The imperfect aroma of Obamacare, Libya, Medicare and Unemployment will fill the stage when Romney faces the President this week. In other words, he set President Obama up for failure.”

The Kitchen Cabinet

Michael Medved

A number of women have remarked that Biden’s behavior reminded them of their ex-husband or boyfriend;  and I’m guessing for a certain age group, it reminds them of the way men have treated them at the office/workplace.  Nope, no points from women.

Without all the answers for 2 weeks they lied about a video!

And they had the film maker arrested, and they used the event to build up Islam.  The President even continued the lie while speaking to the U.N. Then Looselips Joe goes on national TV and says the White House knew nothing about the requests for security and that Syria is larger than Libya.  Clearly, the White House is out of control and the President needs to spend less time with Jay-Z and Letterman and more time with his intelligence advisors!  Even the lapdog media are starting to get uncomfortable.  This mess is much bigger than Watergate, but without an investigative, responsible press, most Americans (including my friends and relatives who are Democrats and watch broadcast news)  will never hear about it.

"We do not have all the answers. No one in this administration has ever claimed otherwise."

"We are providing the best information we have at that time and that information continues to be updated, it also continues to be put into context and more deeply understood through the process we are engaged in," she said.

There are three separate investigations into the attack going on now: an FBI probe into the deaths of the four Americans, an independent inquiry by a panel appointed by Clinton and the congressional hearings.

In her address, which focused particularly on North Africa, Clinton stressed that extremists were trying to hijack democratic transitions under way. She warned of al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb's growing reach from its stronghold in northern Mali, just south of Libya.
