Valin Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 Barack Obama and Other Has-Beens Yesterday's man of destiny is today's peddler of spent ideas. BRET STEPHENS 10/29/12 On the eve of the U.S. presidential election four years ago, educated people nearly everywhere understood that China was the country of the future, green was the energy of the future, and Barack Obama was a man of destiny. How quaint it all seems now. (Snip) Mr. Obama might still squeak by. He has, in addition to incumbency and a vestige of likability, the benefit of a challenger who only found his stride very late in the campaign. But a second term will mean four years of spent ideas packaged in shopworn rhetoric, to be shoved down the national throat by a president with nothing politically to lose. Sound appealing?

Draggingtree Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 The Lord of the Flies Administration By David Limbaugh · October 30, 2012 Two recent ads illustrate the great cultural divide in this nation and which parties and presidential candidates represent these competing worldviews. In the handling of the economy and national security, President Obama has shown he's not capable of being the adult in the room. His community organizing fantasy has been to remake America in his more socialistic image, and in the process, he's taken the nation dangerously close to financial ruin. Yet like the unsupervised children in "Lord of the Flies," he refuses to make mature decisions First, we have the Obama campaign ad comparing voting for Obama to having sex for the first time. Is nothing too vulgar for this bunch of MTV panderers? Probably not, as President Obama either showed us his true character or stooped to even lower pandering in his recent interview with Rolling Stone magazine, during which he called Mitt Romney a BSer -- only he, our sitting president, pronounced the full word. Now, back to the ads. He defied orders and rushed to help, sacrificing his own life. It's what any member of the armed forces would normally do -- unless restrained by incompetent civilian authority. http://patriotpost.us/opinion/15225 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valin Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 Congressman Connolly D-VA – Veterans Unqualified to Serve in Congress 10/29/12 Fairfax, VA – Virginia Congressman Gerry Connolly (D-11) shocked constituents by suggesting that military Veterans are unqualified to serve in Congress because their deployments prevent them from putting “sweat equity” into the districts they hope to serve in Congress. Congressman Connolly is running against Colonel Chris Perkins, a retired officer who served most of his more than 24 years in uniform as an Army Green Beret deployed overseas. Connolly has repeatedly suggested that Perkins’ lack of local involvement because of his military career makes him unqualified to hold federal office. In an October 22nd Washington Post interview, Connolly “dismisses Perkins as unqualified” for Congress, despite Colonel Perkins’ many leadership assignments that included command of a Special Forces Battalion of over six-hundred men, and numerous combat deployments.

Valin Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 Problem found at board of elections Incorrect inputs irritate voter 10/31/12 MARION — Joan Stevens was one of several early voters at the polls on Monday. But when Stevens tried to cast her ballot for president, she noticed a problem. Upon selecting “Mitt Romney” on the electronic touch screen, Barack Obama’s name lit up. It took Stevens three tries before her selection was accurately recorded. (Snip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggingtree Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Yale University Economic Model Gives Election to Romney October 31, 2012 | Filed under 2012 Presidential Race,Economics,Elections | Posted by Warner Todd Huston Based on his economic election model, Yale University economist Ray Fair predicts that GOP nominee Mitt Romney will pull out a sparse victory in November. Fair’s model successfully predicts the winners of every election but two since 1916. The two, the 1960 election of John Kennedy and the 1992 election of Bill Clinton, are the only ones his economics-based electoral prediction model gets wrong. Fair uses several economic indicators in his model http://wizbangblog.c...tion-to-romney/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valin Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 For and Against Impromptus by Jay Nordlinger I am voting for Romney and against Obama. (Not that anyone should care, especially. But opinion-giving is part of what I do.) I thought I would list my reasons. I will not list all of them, but some of them — certainly the basics. I will first say why I will vote for Romney. And then say why I’ll vote against O. Here we go. (Snip) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
