Romney To Akin: Step Aside

"As I said yesterday, Todd Akin's comments were offensive and wrong and he should very seriously consider what course would be in the best interest of our country. Today, his fellow Missourians urged him to step aside, and I think he should accept their counsel and exit the Senate race." 21 Aug 2012

Obama Stiffs Taxpayers for $14k in Costs Incurred at Hollywood Fundraiser

The town asked the DNC and Obama for America to pay the overtime costs incurred when the president arrived at Sherwood Island State Park on Aug. 6 to attend a fundraiser in Stamford and a $35,800 per person dinner at the Westport home of movie producer Harvey Weinstein. 21 Aug 2012

ABC's Tapper Hits Obama For 'Misleading' Statements About Campaign's Ugly Tone

"If the president doesn’t 'think that Governor Romney is somehow responsible for the death of the woman that was portrayed in that ad,' his campaign sure seems to be suggesting otherwise. In short, the president’s responses were at best less than candid and at worse downright misleading." 21 Aug 2012

Media Fact Checkers Shill for Obama's Gutting of Welfare Reform

Obama is on record opposing welfare reform and, as Kaus points out in his analysis, Obama stacked the Department of Health and Human Services with appointees opposed to the welfare reform bill. Then came the waivers for work requirements. To anyone not living in Obama's tank, that sure sounds like a PLAN to me. Moreover, it sounds like a cynical, unconstitutional, end-run-around-Congress kind of PLAN. 21 Aug 2012

'Hunger Games' Blu-ray Review: Perfect Allegory Of Relationship Between Obama and Hollywood

Essentially, "Hunger Games" is the story of how a statist, socialist, left-wing government and the entertainment class it supports work together to keep the population in line. While the film takes this to an extreme, this is not far from our reality for its our own Hollywood that makes noble all things big government and enforces behavior and speech codes through the non-stop soft fascism of political correctness. 20 Aug 2012

Obama Knocks Romney for Not Releasing Medical Records, Hasn't Disclosed His Own

While Obama has released a decade or so worth of tax returns, otherwise, he is the furthest thing from an "open book" when it comes to his medical records -- which he refuses to release. And yet, there stood Obama unchallenged by the lapdog media as he implied he's an "open book" about those very same medical records. And these records are important and relevant, especially in light of the fact that Obama is a former smoker (so we're told) and an admitted illegal drug abuser (including cocaine). 20 Aug 2012

CNN's Costello: Like Todd Akin, Paul Ryan Might Be Soft on 'Rape'

What this all comes down to is what it has always come down to throughout this election: The desperate need of the Obama campaign -- and by extension their Media Palace Guards -- to create artificial distractions that stop the national conversation about Obama's dismal economy, his raiding of almost three-quarters of a trillion dollars from Medicare to fund ObamaCare, Vice president Race-Baiter, and let's not forget the disturbing increase in American casualties in Afghanistan. 20 Aug 2012

NBC Political Analyst: Vote for Romney and 'People Will Die'

The unhinged and hysterical Alter is not only pushing our political discourse into the darkest of places, he's intentionally lying through an act of omission. Even if you accept the premise of his lunacy, which I don't -- Alter is well aware that there are two sides to his stupid argument. But rather than make the case for ObamaCare like a rational human being, Alter abuses his NBC News' perch to accuse Romney and those of us who are eager to vote for him of favoring mass murder. 10 Aug 2012

CNN, Time Magazine Suspend Fareed Zakaria For Plagiarism

"Zakaria's column also includes two more instances of similarities to Lepore's piece, the next two paragraphs after the one cited above, in fact. As the National Review's Robert VerBruggen points out (because he took issue with its accuracy) they both describe a Supreme Court decision the same way." 10 Aug 2012

Romney Ad Comes Out Swinging Against Obama's Dirty Campaign

What Romney's hoping to do here is change the subject to Obama's character or lack thereof. After all, this is a president defying gravity in the polls based mostly on his favorability ratings -- and this ad hits him right in that sweet spot. Better still, it does so without looking defensive and like a campaign that's complaining. 10 Aug 2012
