Valin Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 part 2: Hundreds of coal miners and their families stand in line while waiting to attend a rally at the Century Mine near Beallsville, Ohio, for Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney Tuesday, Aug. 14, 2012. (AP Photo/The Intelligencer, Scott Mccloskey) Can Mitt seize Ohio opportunity? Salena Zito Saturday, August 18, 2012, 8:49 p.m. BEALLSVILLE, Ohio Seventy-plus men walked out of the ground, overalls and hardhats covered in coal dust, and onto the risers of a stage built for a Mitt Romney speech. To onlookers, mostly press and staffers, the image was stunning. To the 2,600 family members gathered in the gravel parking lot or under tents, eating hot dogs and drinking pop, it was a moment of immense pride. This is what we do, said Tim Wiles: “We make things. We provide energy for the state, food for our families, and businesses are sustained around the county because they make money from us.” The 54-year-old miner added, after listening to Romney: “This election is his and Paul Ryan’s for the taking. They need to be bold and remind people of what we stand for, that we are the backbone of this country.” (Snip) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draggingtree Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Romney/Ryan ready to repeal Obamacare August 19, 2012 | Filed under 2012 Presidential Race,Health Care,Mitt Romney,Paul Ryan | Posted by Michael Laprarie Watching the Mitt Romney/Paul Ryan campaign this past week has been almost a surreal experience. Imagine – two passionate, articulate Republicans taking the fight directly to their opponents and demolishing the Democrats’ emotion-laced memes with simple, direct arguments. The last time we saw anything like this was 1980, and George H. W. Bush was no Paul Ryan. Romney’s selection of Ryan should quell any doubts about the primary goal of his administration — getting the US economy back on track. And this week, we saw a plentiful amount of evidence suggesting that the top agenda item in his economic recovery plan is the repeal of Obamacare. Conservatives have been debating how to go about repealing Obamacare for over two years now. Throughout numerous discussions, two goals remained clear: 1) voters read more http://wizbangblog.com/2012/08/19/romneyryan-ready-to-repeal-obamacare/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draggingtree Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 August 19, 2012 How long before the attacks on Paul Ryan's mother begin? Rick Moran Politico calls 78 year old Betty Ryan Douglas "the newest face of the Medicare wars." And she represents a clear and present danger to the Democrats and the Obama campaign. Mrs. Douglas appeared with her son yesterday at The Villages retirement community as a living symbol that a Romney-Ryan administration would not take seniors' Medicare away from them, as the Democrats have been charging. The congressman pointed to his mother as an example of how the debate over Medicare is both political and personal in a state with the highest percentage of elderly voters in the country. To voters here today, Betty was a "Medicare senior in Florida," one of the nation's many Read more: http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2012/08/how_long_before_the_attacks_on_paul_ryans_mother_begin.html#ixzz240aAYHh2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggingtree Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Paul Ryan Taking on (Holy) Water August 13, 2012 By Jeffrey Weiss The reaction I am most awaiting to Mitt Romney's selection of Paul Ryan as his running mate hasn't come in yet: What say you, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops? I know that the bishops aren't exactly in the candidate-endorsing business. But Romney's selection of Ryan puts the national body in an interesting and difficult position. Ryan is a guy who has specifically tried to link his major policy initiatives to his understanding of his Catholic faith. And in some serious detail. In some narrow cases, like Ryan's unwavering opposition to abortion, there's zero space between his position and the unambiguous official Catholic stance. But on his broadest policy idea -- a dramatic restructuring of the federal budget -- there's already been a powerful set of broadsides. Leaving Ryan taking on water. And if Romney wants to describe Ryan on the campaign trail as a "faithful Catholic," the bishops might feel theologically obligated to disagree.

Draggingtree Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Joe Biden Shakes Those Chains By Ken Blackwell · August 17, 2012 We thought Joe Biden couldn't top -- or bottom -- the appalling gaffe of calling a 2010 White House bill signing ceremony "a big f___ing deal." But he just did it. In Danville, Virginia this week, Biden told a largely black audience the Republicans were going to "put y'all in chains." Now, of course, his staff is backpedaling furiously. He meant the banks. He was talking about banking de-regulation, they bleat frantically. Sure he was. If any conservative, any Republican had made such a statement, he'd have been fired. Agriculture Sec. Earl Butz was fired in 1976 within hours of telling a dirty joke offensive to black Americans (and most others). Majority Leader Trent Lott lost his post when he joked about Strom Thurmond being elected president. Old Strom had been a segregationist candidate in 1948. But Joe Biden gets a pass from the press. No one asks to see his birth certificate. That's because he is daily showing us his dearth certificate. He shows us a dearth of common sense. Biden tried to identify with one Southern audience by bragging that his state of Delaware had slaves! So who was it, Mr. Vice President, that broke those slave chains? It was the Republicans. Republican Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation and signed read more http://patriotpost.us/opinion/14446 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggingtree Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 The Aging New Left By Michael Oberndorf · August 20, 2012 In the 1960s, the left experienced a resurgence, financed mostly by Moscow through a variety of front groups, and focused on American college campuses. Ever-so-intellectual, they dubbed themselves the New Left, suggesting that they had taken a quantum leap beyond the monolithic bureaucracy of Stalin, and even transcending the moral incentives of Mao. They identified with the dashing, romantic Cuban revolutionaries Fidel Castro and Che Guevarra. Oddly, somewhere along the way, they missed the fact that these people were mass murderers who made Hitler look like an amateur chump. The neo-Marxist philosophy they concocted had no specific goals, other than full adoption of Third World Anti-colonialism, and destroying the existing capitalist state. It was taken on faith that socialist institutions would naturally be created by the freed proletariat, with no previous planning, as if by miracle or magic. Hmmm...Saul Alinsky was one of the New Left's prophets, and had numerous followers in Academia, such as Cloward and Piven at Columbia, where Barry claims to have been a student. In any case, this is the milieu the current occupant of the White House was raised in, and read more http://patriotpost.us/commentary/14467 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valin Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 Social Justice and Ryan the Heretic Church liberals launch an odd line of attack against a free-market champion. WILLIAM MCGURN 8/20/12 Say this for the liberal impulse in American Catholicism: In its day, it leavened the faith. Against the church's tendencies to clericalism, it promoted the contributions of the laity. Against suspicions in Rome, it championed the American experiment. In particular, the liberal impulse advanced the idea of religious liberty for all that would ultimately triumph in the 1960s at the Second Vatican Council. No longer, alas. Today the liberal impulse in American Catholic life has substituted political for religious orthodoxy. In retrospect, the turning point is easy to spot: liberal Catholicism's acquiescence in the Democratic Party's drift toward supporting abortion at a time when church leaders had the influence to stop it. (Snip) Once upon a time, Catholic Democrats would explain away their position with the Mario Cuomo-inspired halfway apology: They were "personally opposed" to abortion but unwilling to do anything about it. These days we have moved to the full Nancy: House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's complaint that Catholics need to overcome their "conscience thing" regarding abortion. As for Mr. Ryan, what drives progressives bonkers is that he insists on talking about spending in terms of promises made to the American people. In this sense, "Can we pay for it?" is a moral as well as practical question. (Snip) Video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
