gives Biden advice on
attacking Ryan

Daily Caller [Washington DC], by Alex Pappas Original Article

Posted By: JoniTx- 10/11/2012 7:17:54 PM Post Reply

On a Washington Post political blog Thursday, a Post writer offered Vice President Joe Biden strategic advice on how to attack Paul Ryan just hours before the lone vice presidential debate. Allen McDuffee of the Post blog “Think Tanked” wrote an item in advance of the Biden-Ryan showdown in Kentucky, titled “Vice presidential debate: The chart Joe Biden should memorize.” In the post, he suggested Biden should internalize a chart from the left-wing Center for Budget and Policy Priorities that hits Ryan with the claim that “62 percent of proposed cuts in [the] Ryan Plan come from

Lead In A New Florida Poll

Business Insider, by Brett LoGiurato Original Article

Mitt Romney has opened up an enormous lead over President Barack Obama in Florida, according to a new Miami Herald/El Nuevo Herald/Tampa Bay Times poll. Romney now leads the president by 7 points — 51 percent to 44 percent — in the Sunshine State, his largest lead since a hypothetical Quinnipiac poll conducted in September 2011. (Snip) Romney also has a big advantage on a key issue in Florida — Medicare. When asked the question of whose plan was "likely to do more long-term harm to Medicare," 54 percent chose Obama. Only 40 percent chose Romney. That's a dramatic, 16-point

A Wisconsintate representative is under fire for sticking by his assertion that "some girls, they rape so easy". (Snip) The Chetek Alert paper quoted him in December as saying that his father had warned him "some girls rape easy" - meaning that some girls could decide later that sex wasn't consensual. He doubled down on the comments in an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Wednesday, saying that he took his father's warnings about the dangers of premarital sex seriously."He also told me one thing, 'If you do (have premarital sex), just remember, consensual sex can turn into rape

President Barack Obama has created controversy with an ad attacking rival Mitt Romney for his perceived animosity toward Sesame Street icon Big Bird. Though the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and fellow Democrats have advised against the tactic, the President has held firm in his defense of the substantial yellow puppet. (Snip) Unbeknownst to many, Obama's relationship with the feathered giant extends far beyond the past two weeks. From his youth to the present, the 44th president and Big Bird have carried on an intimate relationship, which has made them what anthropologists refer to

A pastor in Virginia is taking on the Democratic Party's long-time strangle-hold on the black voting bloc, telling fellow black Americans that it is high time for them to end their “slavish devotion to the Democrat Party.” In a nearly four-minute video (see at bottom) produced by the group Americans Taking a Stand, Bishop E.W. Jackson, pastor of Exodus Faith Ministries in Chesapeake, Virginia, nails the Democrats for their support of abortion and homosexual marriage, and for eschewing Christian values, in the process challenging black Christians to make a mass exodus from the party.

Why isn't the administration worried
about the release of Zero Dark 30?

The Obama administration cited "the 14-minute movie trailer" myriad times as the reason for the Benghazi attack. If the administration truly believed that, shouldn't they be concerned about the release of the feature film Zero Dark Thirty? (Snip) Zero Dark Thirty touts the killing of Osama bin Laden. Yes, it helps the president's image as being tough on terror. But, what will the consequences be? The fact that the administration is not mentioning this film's release (or demanding that it be "pulled") is perhaps most telling about how they know for a fact that the previous trailer had Nothing to

As of today, voting registration deadlines in 18 states and territories have passed, and military absentee ballot requests remain at a worryingly low level compared with past election years. According to the most recent data, released Sept. 22, Florida has sent 65,173, compared to the just over 95,000 it counted four years ago. Virginia has sent out 12,292 military and overseas absentee ballots, less than 43 percent of the 28,816 it counted in 2008. “It doesn’t take much to figure out that it will be difficult to meet the 2008 participation levels, even if every single ballot is returned and

Barack Obama's lackluster debate performance last week has dramatically altered the presidential race in Florida, with Mitt Romney opening up a decisive 7 percentage point lead, according to a new Tampa Bay Times/Bay News 9/Miami Herald poll. The survey conducted this week found 51 percent of likely Florida voters supporting Romney, 44 percent backing Obama and 4 percent undecided. That's a major shift from a month ago when the same poll showed Obama leading 48 percent to 47 percent — and a direct result of what Obama himself called a "bad night" at the first debate.

Amid rumors in Republican circles and on the Internet that the Romney campaign had decided to write off Pennsylvania and its 20 electoral votes as lost to President Barack Obama, the Republican candidate’s surge in polls last week made it clear they felt the Keystone State was in play. “Pennsylvania is a state which the Romney campaign believes presents a real opportunity for a Romney victory,” Katie Packer Gage, Romney’s deputy national campaign manager, told Human Events. “If President Obama can’t win there, he can’t win at all. So we plan to fight hard there. We have seen

Adam Carolla calls California home, but he's hardly a typical resident by local standards. He's more likely to critique the Golden State (or its denizens) than send much love its way. So when Bill O'Reilly asked the podcast king why his fellow Californians, particularly well-to-do Hollywood types, aren't up in arms over skyrocketing gas prices Carolla had an easy answer up his sleeve. "My friends don't know how much gas is, they don't care, and they like it that way," Carolla told O'Reilly.

Washington - The next turn of the U.S. presidential race hinges on two men who embody the philosophical differences between the political parties more starkly than the candidates at the top of the tickets. Democrats are counting on Vice President Joe Biden, 69, an old-school party veteran at home in union halls and firehouses, to discredit Republican nominee Mitt Romney’s agenda. (Snip) More voters view Biden unfavorably than favorably. Opinion on Ryan is more evenly divided. Thirty-nine percent of registered voters hold a positive opinion of Biden compared with 51 percent who have a

The Hollywood community has been mostly silent about the anti-Muslim filmmaker whose work the Obama administration blamed on the recent surge of Middle Eastern violence. Bette Midler actually wanted the filmmaker charged with murder for his actions. Few of her peers stood up for the filmmaker and, by extension, an artist's right to free speech no matter how offensive said speech might be. Now, arguably the biggest name in film, Oscar-winner George Clooney, is weighing in on the subject. "Freedom of speech means you have to allow idiots to speak, and that’s the unfortunate thing."

New York Times Managing Editor Dean Baquet said today he doesn't see "anything significantly new" in yesterday's congressional hearings on Libya, while both he and the paper's executive editor Jill Abramson suggested the hearings were politicized and therefore not worthy of front-page coverage. Baquet and Abramson's remarks come in response to criticism from the paper's own public editor, Margaret Sullivan, who objected to the editors decision not run its story about the hearings on today's front page.

I would like to have another hearing where we can ask Ambassador Rice under oath who told you what, when. If you’re going to blame the intelligence community, you come before this committee and you tell us who told you it was a video! Who in the intelligence community said it? Who in the diplomatic community blamed this on a video? Mr. Chairman, the American people are reasonable.

Lexington, Ky. - The year was 1998 and Paul Ryan, then just a 28-year-old newcomer with no electoral experience, faced his first debate for national political office. He had spent most of his early adulthood in Washington, D.C., as a Capitol Hill staffer, and returned to his home in Janesville, Wis., to run for Congress against Democratic Kenosha Alderman Lydia Spottswood. (Snip) Based on interviews with strategists who have watched Ryan debate in person, and with Democrats who have faced him over the years, Biden will likely confront a young, but tenacious debater onstage in Danville, Ky.

Usually after a presidential debate, both sides spin the results. But after the first face-off between President Obama and challenger Mitt Romney, Obama’s exasperated handlers made no such effort. How could they when most opinion polls revealed that two-thirds of viewers thought Obama lost? Within minutes of the parting handshake, the liberal base went ballistic. Bill Maher, Chris Matthews, and Michael Moore all but accused Obama of embarrassing the progressive cause. The post-debate spin focused not on whether the president had been creamed by challenger Mitt Romney, but rather on how

If you’ve been following the news about Benghazi, you’ll have two questions after watching this clip. One: Didn’t we already know this? Answer: Yes, “we” did, but not because our government was eager for us to find out. McClatchy published an interview with a Libyan guard wounded in the attack just two days after it happened in which he claimed that there was never any protest. Four days later, Fox News was hearing the same thing from an intelligence source on the ground. Four days after that, Eli Lake of Newsweek reported that there was intelligence early on

Despite the urging of drug enforcement experts, officials in Washington have not said how the federal government would deal with possible state laws in Colorado, Washington and Oregon that would conflict with the federal Controlled Substances Act.
