CNN’s Crowley Admits Obama Didn’t Call Benghazi a Terror Attack
21 May 2013 6:52 pm Warner Todd Huston

On the May 19 broadcast of CNN’s State of the Union, host Candy Crowley said that Obama was late in identifying the attacks in Benghazi as terrorism quite contrary to what she said during the Presidential debates late last year.
As Crowley questioned White House spokesman Dan Pfeiffer, she pressed him on whether or not the President was aware of the Benghazi talking points being written and re-written by the Department of State and the intel community, re-writes that eventually eliminated any mention that the attacks were perpetrated by terrorists.
In reply, …

Time To Double-Down, Not Sell Out
3 Dec 2012 12:00 am Robert Cleveland

“What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?”
-Matthew 16:26

While this year’s election was a mixed bag for the GOP overall, many are still mourning Mitt Romney’s loss in the presidential election, and the jury is still out on how the Republican Party will react as they look toward strategies for winning in 2014 and 2016.

One of the most interesting perspectives is coming from those GOP strategists and commentators who still think that the Republican Party needs to moderate even more in order …

In Final Week Romney Coverage Increasingly Negative, MSNBC Had Zero Favorable Romney Stories
23 Nov 2012 2:28 pm Warner Todd Huston

According to the latest study of the last week of the media’s coverage of the 2012 presidential election, Romney’s coverage turned increasingly negative. The worst example was that of MSNBC which didn’t have any positive stories about Romney’s campaign, not a single one.
The study conducted by the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism, showed that MSNBC had zero positive stories about Romney while its Obama coverage skewed 51% positive for the President.
Fox News also increased its negative coverage, for Obama in that case, but its coverage was not …

Buzz Feed Reporter Reveals Anti-Mormon Bigotry of Press Corps
16 Nov 2012 3:25 pm Warner Todd Huston

McKay Coppins of Buzzfeed was one of the reporters in the Romney press pool during his late campaign for president. He is also a Mormon. In a long piece posted on November 14, Coppins reveals the stark anti-Mormon bigotry that his fellow members of the media openly displayed as they followed team Romney around the country.
Coppins’ report offers several interesting bits of information and even makes Mitt out to be the John Kennedy of Mormonism in that, like Kennedy, Mitt’s candidacy brought his religion out from under the shadows of …

The Name ‘Republican’ Is Damaged Beyond Repair
12 Nov 2012 2:45 pm Warner Todd Huston

Fact: Millions of Republican voters did not come out to unseat Barack Obama.
Explanation: The Republican brand has been damaged beyond repair.
Solution: Is Herman Cain Right? Do we need to replace the GOP with a new party?
The Republican brand has been destroyed beyond repair. This is all something we really can blame on the Bush family in general and George W. Bush in particular. Not only do independents and moderates not trust anyone that has the millstone “Republican” hung around his neck, but even too many Republican voters themselves can …

Obama Likely Won Re-Election Through Election Fraud
12 Nov 2012 12:01 am Rachel Alexander

There were many factors that hurt Mitt Romney and favored Barack Obama in the 2012 presidential election. The Democrats portrayed Romney in the worst light possible; as a wealthy, out of touch millionaire who wanted to return women to the 1800′s. The left wing media predictably did everything it could to perpetuate that false caricature. Obama’s race was an advantage; voters of all persuasions, particularly minorities, still cannot get over the allure of the first black president. The 47% of Americans on welfare were predisposed to vote for the food …

My Two Cents: Why Obama Won And Romney Lost
8 Nov 2012 8:36 am William Teach

This will probably be the last post on the meaning of this loss, but, this is part of a conversation I was having with a moderate Republicans who voted Obama and a moderate Liberal who voted Romney late yesterday. Consider that, in exit polls,

52% said that the country is on the wrong track.
Only 23% rated the economy positively.
Only 25% said they were better off than 4 years ago. 51% want smaller government.
38% said unemployment was their most important issue, 37% said rising prices

Those are some big points. Yet, somehow, …

Why Election 2012 Went Small Ball
6 Nov 2012 8:23 am William Teach

I think we all know the reasoning why the presidential campaign looks so small, but, The Politico attempts to ascribe the same type of small campaign to Romney even more than Obama
The 2012 election is over at last, and its supporting cast—a complex of operatives and reporters, locked in an embrace of mutual need and mutual contempt, an audience of millions, at once transfixed and repelled—is gasping at the finish line, collapsed in a heap.
Eighteen months after the affair got underway with the first Republican primary debate, the country is …

For Love of Country
5 Nov 2012 11:43 am Michael Fell

Speaking in Springfield Ohio, Barack Obama mentioned Mitt Romney. As soon as he mentioned Romney’s name, the crowd began to boo. Obama told the crowd:
“No, no, no. Don’t boo, vote. Voting is the best revenge.”
Speaking in New Hampshire, Romney told supporters how Obama had said that voting would be their “best revenge” against Romney:
“Vote for revenge? Let me tell you what I’d like to tell you: Vote for love of country. It is time we lead America to a better place.”
This is but one snapshot highlighting the difference between Americans …

Why You Should Vote Romney: Visualize Obama World
5 Nov 2012 7:58 am William Teach

An interesting little HuffPo article by Robert Creamer is pulled by Memeorandum, asking people to visualize what Romney World would look like if he’s elected
My wife, Jan Schakowsky, and I are friends with a wonderful woman named Bea. Bea is now 95 years old. Bea was born in 1917.
She was born in a country where women couldn’t vote. In some areas of the country, just fifty years before, slavery had been legal. Collective bargaining was not recognized under the law. Poverty was rampant – especially among the country’s oldest citizens.
Bea …

Obama: Voting The Best Revenge Against Romney
3 Nov 2012 6:39 am William Teach

This sounds more like something you’d hear from a candidate running against a long term third world dictator. Or from the guy (Henrique Capriles) who ran against Hugo Chavez in Venezuela, not from a sitting US president who acts more like Hugo Chavez (though I’m not sure Chavez spends as much time playing golf and partying with celebrities)
(Breitbart) As is often the case when he goes off-teleprompter, at a campaign stop in Ohio today, Obama revealed a side of himself we haven’t seen since Hurricane Sandy gave him the opportunity …

Gay SiriusXM Talker Tells Conservative Gay Caller to Commit Suicide
2 Nov 2012 5:07 pm Warner Todd Huston

Remember how liberals are the only ones tolerant of others? Well, keep that in mind as you listen to talk show host Michelangelo Signorile tell a gay caller who voted for Mitt Romney that he should take “arsenic” and commit suicide because he dared to vote for a Republican.
Via our friends at Gay Patriot, we get yet another example of the “more tolerant” set, who cannot stand to see someone think differently than they do, “tolerantly” wishing death on anyone that disagrees with them.
Signorile hosts a gay-themed radio show on …

Romney Rising
2 Nov 2012 12:01 am Michael Fell

In Ohio, voting machines are changing a vote cast for Mitt Romney to Barack Obama.
Maybe that is what the “progressive” Democratic Party needs to combat lower voter turnout for the Democratic ticket.
For “progressive” Democrats and their much heralded ground game, which in early voting has not been as effective as advertised, perhaps their real problem is that more voters trust Mitt Romney to break gridlock in Washington DC.
Polls have consistently shown that the enthusiasm, which was so strong for “progressive” Democrats in 2008, has switched sides. The Tea Party generated …

Another Obama Energy Dud
31 Oct 2012 6:14 pm Michael Fell

A123 Systems, a Massachusetts-based battery manufacturer, received $249 million from Barack Obama’s failed stimulus program. At the time they received the money, A123 pledged that the nearly quarter-billion-dollar stimulus money would lead to the creation of thousands of new jobs.
Said company President David Vieau when the company opened a factory in Livonia, Mich., in 2010:
“Over the next several years, we expect to create thousands of jobs in Greater Detroit and plan to continue our expansion in the area as we do our part in helping the U.S. emerge as a …

Never Forget
30 Oct 2012 10:49 pm Michael Fell

When compared to 2008, Barack Obama’s early vote advantage has dropped by 22 points. That is according to Gallup, one of if not the most respected American poll.
In this year’s early voting Mitt Romney leads Obama by seven points, 52-45 percent. Four years ago, Obama led John McCain among early voters by fifteen-points, 55-40 percent.
The latest National Public Radio poll registered an 8 point swing in favor of Romney that puts him in front. The NPR poll, which showed Obama ahead of Romney 51- 44 percent a month ago, now …

Romney Gains, Obama Faithful Throw Fits
29 Oct 2012 8:26 pm Michael Fell

The Battleground Poll, a bipartisan poll taken last week, in addition to showing that Mitt Romney has a 52 percent to 45 percent advantage among middle class voters, is projecting Romney will defeat Barack Obama by a 52 percent to 47 percent margin.
Pollster Ed Goeas said that while a strong voter turnout effort might help Obama close the gap “reports from the field would indicate that not to be the case and Mitt Romney may well be heading to a decisive victory.”
Romney now has a majority favorable rating of 52 …

Obama’s Reelection Will Ensure Complete U.S. Economic Collapse
29 Oct 2012 1:53 pm Rachel Alexander

This coming presidential election will determine whether the U.S. ends up in another Great Depression or pulls out of the economic slump. There are numerous signs indicating that the country is headed for economic Armageddon under Obama. Some analysts are predicting the crash could come as soon as next year. Obama is following the failed policies of President Herbert Hoover which led to the Great Depression.

Conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh says the U.S. is on an unsustainable course; there isn’t enough money from taxes to pay everyone lifetime healthcare, lifetime pensions, …

Politico Offers 5 Political Questions Surrounding Hurricane Sandy
29 Oct 2012 8:20 am William Teach

As we head into the last week of the 2012 election season, these are a few interesting questions. The answer are more interesting
(Politico) 1) Will Mitt Romney’s momentum be stopped?
It’s hard to see how the storm helps. The Republican nominee has more than closed the gap with the incumbent over the final weeks of the campaign, taking a slim lead in most national polls. But his national boost hasn’t been mirrored in two pivotal states: Ohio and Virginia. Already Romney had to scrap a full day’s worth of events in …

America Deserves Better
27 Oct 2012 12:15 pm Michael Fell

The U.S. economy grew at a 2 percent annual rate in the third quarter. The slight improvement was the result of more consumer and federal government spending. Consumer spending improved from a 1.5 percent rate to 2 percent annual rate.
And federal spending surged.
Despite the modest increase, economic growth remains too weak to advance hiring.
This report is the last before Americans vote for president eleven days from now.
http://tinyurl.com/9vve7n2
Mitt Romney has consistently criticized Barack Obama’s economic record, correctly noting that the pace of growth has slowed over the past two years. This …

Romney Surges
25 Oct 2012 9:27 pm Michael Fell

With less than two weeks to go before Election Day, Mitt Romney has eliminated the 16 point advantage Barack Obama once enjoyed among women. Last month, women preferred Obama over Romney 56% to 40% on the economy. Now, the difference is 49% for Romney and 45% for Obama. Where understanding people’s problems is concerned, Obama’s lead among women has shrunk from 58%-36% to a 50%-43%.
The polls consistently show a real surge to Romney, away from Obama:
Rasmussen: Mitt Romney 50% nationwide, Obama 47%.
Gallup: Romney 50%, Obama 47%.
ABC News/Washington Post: 49% Romney, …
