Game Over
24 Oct 2012 10:57 am Michael Fell

Mitt Romney and Barack Obama argued foreign policy in the final 2012 presidential debate in Boca Raton Fl. Romney looked like a solid, strong American Commander in Chief, while Obama resembled an ageing hippie college professor wannabe enraged at having his beliefs successfully debunked in public.
Obama insulted Romney, speaking to him in patronizing fashion while mocking his stance on defense cuts: “I think Governor Romney maybe hasn’t spent enough time looking at how our military works. You mentioned the navy, for example, and that we have fewer ships than we …

Debate #3: Bayonets, Horses, And Jihadis
23 Oct 2012 9:24 am William Teach

I’m not going to write a whole lot about the debate, since I only saw a few snippets, being at a friends house watching the Bears-Lions game, and John Hawkins does a good job of breaking it all down. Two interesting ones I did hear (while walking in the kitchen for a beer or food, friends wife, a big Obama supporter, was watching it). Here’s the first
(Daily Caller) In a debate exchange Monday night that set Twitter on fire, President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney crossed swords over …

From Russia-With Love
23 Oct 2012 2:12 am Michael Fell

Have you ever wondered where MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, The New York Times, Newsweek, Time Magazine et al get their talking points?
It is difficult to determine if Chris Matthews is America’s answer to Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey or Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey is Russia’s answer to Chris Matthews.
Pravda.ru, Russia’s online neo-KGB government controlled news site, sounds troublingly like what can be found online at Yahoo News, MoveOn.org the Daily Kos or Media Matters.
Or is it the other way around?
Consider some excerpts from Bancroft-Hinchey’s piece on the upcoming U.S. presidential election. Quite presumably referring …

5 Things To Watch For In Final Debate, For Those Who Aren’t Watching Football
22 Oct 2012 7:10 am William Teach

First of all, I’d love to know which fools decided scheduling the final debate on a Monday night against football was a bright idea. Unless Mitt gets some serious knockout blows, the Credentialed Media will be allowed to spin the debate as either a draw or an Obama win, since the viewership will certainly be lower than the previous two.
Anyhow
(USA Today) Obama touts his record. Expect to hear the president talk about winding down wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the multinational operation that toppled Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi. And …

Mitt: “The Obama campaign has become the incredible shrinking campaign”
20 Oct 2012 8:48 am William Teach

Who would’ve thought it?
(Politico) Mitt Romney accused President Barack Obama of pettiness and desperation at a night-time rally that drew thousands to Daytona Beach Friday.
The Republican presidential nominee said that Obama’s “has become the incredible shrinking campaign” at the end of a day that saw his Democratic opponent embrace the term “Romnesia” and recent attacks over Romney’s off-the-cuff debate remarks on “Big Bird” and “binders full of women.”
“Well, have you been watching the Obama campaign lately?” Romney asked as crowd booed. “They have no agenda for the future, no agenda …

Debate Highlights “progressive” Way
17 Oct 2012 10:39 pm Michael Fell

Obama lied about his response to the Libyan attack. The day following the 9/11 anniversary terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, he did not state from the White House rose garden that it was a terrorist attack.
He blamed it on an unknown video.
As did White House press secretary Jay Carney and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton; which was followed by UN ambassador Susan Rice repeating the same lame excuse five times in one day on the Sunday morning television political talk show circuit. This was done again by …

Debate Moderator Crowley Lies About Obama’s Benghazi/Terrorism Lies
17 Oct 2012 11:53 am Warner Todd Huston

CNN’s Candy Crowley, the so-called moderator of the second presidential debate for the 2012 elections, misled 60 million viewing Americans in the debate when she wrongfully sided with Obama against Mitt Romney when Romney maintained that Obama refused to call the attacks on our Libyan embassy an act of terror in his Rose Garden address on the incident the day after it occurred.

During the section on Obama’s abject failures on foreign policy, Romney was making the point that Obama took many days before he finally started calling the attacks on …

Warmists Upset Climate Change (Hoax) Ignored Yet Again During Debate
17 Oct 2012 10:24 am William Teach

Sorry, Warmists, there was already enough of one fake issue, the War On Wymen, didn’t have time for another. Here’s an outraged Soros funded Climate Progress
Those concerned about climate change were sorely disappointed during Tuesday night’s town hall-style debate when both the candidates and the moderator — CNN’s Candy Crowley — failed to address the issue of climate change, even during a lengthy and heated exchange about energy issues.
“I had that question for all of you climate change people,” said Crowley in the post-debate coverage. “We just, you know, again, …

Debate 2: Obama Edges Out Romney Slightly, But Not On Economy
17 Oct 2012 9:25 am William Teach

For those who watched, it was a lively debate. Interestingly, I listened to the first 45 minutes on the radio, and it was the reverse of the previous. The first debate, which I listened to mostly on the radio, Obama sounded very good. But, it was seeing him on TV that killed him. This time, he sounded angry and petulant on the radio, but seeing him on TV the “tone” appeared as more fired up and engaged, if I’m going to be honest in assessing the performance of the Worst …

5 Things To Watch During Tonight’s Debate
16 Oct 2012 8:28 am William Teach

The AP helpfully provides what to watch for
1. A REBOUND? After taking a drubbing in the first debate, Obama’s under big pressure to step up his game Tuesday night. He’ll try to show energy and passion. And look for him to challenge Romney’s claims more often. Obama’s comfortable taking audience questions at campaign events, and that should work in his favor at this “town hall” style debate.
“Comfortable taking audience questions”? Well, partly, because he knows that the audience isn’t going to rebut him, and it allows him to pontificate. On …

Crowley: Biased Bad Joke
15 Oct 2012 3:42 pm Michael Fell

For the pending second presidential debate, the format agreement says that after each question from the audience and a two-minute response by each candidate, Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are expected to have an additional discussion facilitated by the moderator. This year the Hofstra University town hall debate moderator will be Candy Crowley of CNN. The language of the debate-format agreement means that Crowley’s participation is to be limited.
As the document states: “In managing the two-minute comment periods, the moderator will not rephrase the question or open a new topic …

National Journal Gets Romney Cap Gains Cut Wrong
14 Oct 2012 8:14 pm Warner Todd Huston

On October 10, the National Journal slammed Mitt Romney for “favoring the wealthy” with his capital gains tax cut plan. The plan, NJ claims, won’t help middle-income Americans because they “don’t have investment income.” But, apparently Nat’l Journal didn’t bother to look at Romney’s actual plan because their assessment is simply wrong.

Reporting on a Romney rally in Ohio, Nat’l Journal claimed that Romney’s tax plan is one-sided.

But Romney’s proposal as he described it — eliminating tax on interest, dividends, and capital gains — would largely help those living on investment …

American Success or European Failure
9 Oct 2012 3:19 pm Michael Fell

The most recent Washington Times/Zogby poll shows voters now favor GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney over Barack Obama on two key issues: the economy and national security.
Obama had been leading prior to the October 3rd debate. The results of that debate changed a lot of minds. On national security, Romney is now preferred 48 percent to 45 percent, while on jobs and the economy, Romney now enjoys a 50 percent to 44 percent advantage.
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/oct/8/obama-loses-lead-key-voter-issues/
This major swing in popular support is reinforced by the latest Rasmussen poll, which shows Romney now …

Bummer: Nickelodeon Upset That Romney Declined To Appear With People Who Can’t Vote
9 Oct 2012 7:55 am William Teach

Perhaps Nick’ should be a bit more concerned with a President who decided to campaign the day after our Libyan consulate was attacked and the ambassador was killed, as well as a president who blows off world leaders, including the Israeli P.M., in order to go on The View and be eye candy
(Mediaite) Nickelodeon’s news outfit Nick News is reportedly “disappointed” that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has declined to appear in the channel’s “Kids Pick the President” election special, which airs several weeks before the election.
“After numerous attempts by …

Good Grief: Washington Post Complains That Romney Should Be Worth More
7 Oct 2012 8:06 am William Teach

The media, including opinion writers, spent oodles of time and planet killing paper and energy writing about Haditha, Korans in toilets, soldiers peeing on dead Taliban bodies, loud music and cold temps at Gitmo, but can’t find it in themselves to write about the Taliban resurgence in Afghanistan, al Qaeda growing in Egypt and Libya, Fast and Furious, the Libyan 9/11 attack cover up, why Obama is using official White House resources for campaigning, and a host of other issues. The difference is the letter of Party affiliation. But, they …

Romney Destroys Obama in First Debate, Left-wingers Go Nuts
5 Oct 2012 11:03 am Matt Vespa

We all got a shot of life Wednesday night from Mitt Romney. I received a lot of flak, and some insults, for my previous post castigating Romney for lacking joie de vivre, but he came out swinging and left the president looking for his teleprompter. While some posted polls in the comment section to show Romney’s campaign wasn’t in trouble since we’re in a dead heat – we should all be thanking Obama’s poor economic policies for that buffer. Regardless, Romney was prepared for battle, while the president was utterly unprepared and …

Romney: “You Know Obama’s A Complete SCOAMF On Libya, Right?”
5 Oct 2012 9:06 am William Teach

OK, he didn’t call Obama a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable failure, but, dog whistle, you know?
(Fox News) Mitt Romney, fresh off what by most accounts was his victory Wednesday night in the first debate with President Obama, said in a Fox News interview that the deadly consulate attack in Libya was a “tragic failure” of security and that the Obama admiration’s explanations have been “misleading.”
“Let me note my condolences and sympathy for the families of those who lost their lives,” Romney told Fox News in a joint interview with …

Is It Racist To Mention That The Unemployment Rate Has Been 8%+ For “44″ Straight Months?
5 Oct 2012 8:25 am William Teach

You know, since Obama is the 44th president, and since everything else, including the words Chicago and golf, are considered racist to mention
(WRAL) With a month to go until the presidential election, the government on Friday issues its September jobs report, expected to show an uptick in the U.S. unemployment rate after employers added only a modest number of jobs.
Economists forecast that the unemployment rate edged up last month to 8.2 percent from 8.1 percent, according to a survey by FactSet. Employers are expected to have added 111,000 jobs.
That would …

Romney in Big Trouble
4 Oct 2012 4:45 pm Michael Fell

Following the first presidential debate on October 3rd between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, one in which Romney repeatedly scored and Obama appeared lost, annoyed and disinterested; pundits, pollsters and political junkies alike unanimously declared Mitt Romney as the winner.
Obama, a long time card carrying member of the self-proclaimed institutionalized “progressive” left intellectual elite, was not simply one step ahead of the opposition. He was so extremely clever he completely tricked, baffled and befuddled his own supporters.
What the entire watching world missed was, Obama’s apparently dismal failure in the Denver, …

Chris Matthews Loses It Post Debate
4 Oct 2012 6:44 am William Teach

I’m not going to bother with a long debate wrap-up, since this is a crosspost. John Hawkins (and many others) have done a fine, fine job in digesting the debate. I will say one thing: I listened to most of the debate on the radio, and it was somewhat like the Nixon-Kennedy debate, where those who watched TV thought Kennedy won, and those who listened on radio thought Nixon had won. Why? Because on TV Nixon looked awful, because of bad makeup and him getting over a cold, so he …
