Presidency Within Reach for Romney

The Kiplinger Letter, by David Morris Original Article

Posted By: DaddyO- 10/18/2012 7:51:15 AM Post Reply

It still goes through Ohio, and the climb remains steep, but the Republican challenger has momentum on his side for the first time in months. If nothing else changes between now and Nov. 6, I see a narrow win for Romney and early retirement for President Barack Obama. If that happens, Obama will have no one to blame but himself. Perhaps he was following the advice of campaign gurus when he played the role of Clint Eastwood's empty chair during the first debate with Romney early this month.

Fort Hood and the Election

My liberal friends and family often ask what's the source of my passion to see Mitt Romney defeat Barack Obama. They never like the answer. Pvt. Francheska Velez. Pvt. Francheska Velez, 21, an Army bomb disposal specialist who served in Iraq was three months pregnant when Major Nidal Hasan deliberately shot her in the abdomen during the murderous rampage at Ft. Hood. Screaming in agony, her final words were "My baby, my baby."

Next to my computer is a bookshelf overstuffed with books I've read and enjoyed but one book stands out because I just can't get past its first 25 pages. Friends have told me how much they enjoyed 'Atlas Shrugged' so I have tried on numerous occasions to tackle this tome that has had such a lasting impact on libertarians and VP candidate Rep. Paul Ryan. Alas, all efforts have failed so I resorted to my college year's backup plan - I bought an 'Atlas Shrugged' Cliff Notes.

In 2009, a minor gaming website called Rockyou.com was hacked; although you've probably never heard of the site, the hack has probably affected you or someone you know. Almost every genuine hack over the last three years can be traced back to the Rockyou leak. The reason it was so significant is it totally changed the way hackers do business. Before Rockyou, hackers had to build word lists of potential passwords using traditional dictionaries; the 14 million or so Rockyou passwords provided an instant database showing how people actually construct their passwords. We're all familiar with the hoops passwords

Feminism is over... say women

Feminism in the modern world is viewed as outdated and aggressive and is being shunned by women, research has found. One in seven would describe themselves as a feminist with many believing they have achieved equality with men on issues like fair pay and skills. They believe single mother turned multi-millionaire author JK Rowling is a better example of a strong independent role model than feminist icon Germaine Greer. In fact, almost a third (28 percent) of British women describe the radical feminism of Ms Greer as “too aggressive” towards men and a quarter no longer view it as a positive label

The foreign student arrested over an attempt to blow-up the New York Federal Reserve on Wednesday cited an extremist publication as inspiration for his deadly plans. Quazi Nafis, 21, reportedly learned how to make a bomb from an article published by al-Qaeda in the magazine ‘Inspire.’ The magazine contained a piece titled, ‘How to Make a Bomb in the Kitchen with your Mom,’ telling readers how to construct a detonating bomb with everyday household items.[Snip] Another issue suggested that a good way to forward the jihadist mission would be to mow down pedestrians in a pick-up truck.

Massive study finds only 3.4% of

A massive new survey published this morning reveals that only 3.4% of American adults publicly identify themselves as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender, with the highest percentage coming among the younger, less-educated non-whites. The new Gallup Poll of more than 121,000 adult, the largest of its kind on record, wass conducted during the past four months. It finds the percentage of self-reported LGBT Americans to be much smaller than a general impression derived from their presence in popular culture and their perceived influence in liberal American politics.

Democratic Senate hopefuls in red

Democrats running for Senate in red states have deployed various tactics to fend off the biggest threat to their campaigns: the unpopularity of President Obama at home. Democrats with the toughest races have been the most vocal in criticizing Obama, who has seen his poll ratings slump since squaring off against Mitt Romney in the first debate. Some are following a strategy adopted by Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), who is cruising to a victory despite representing a state where Obama is trailing Romney by as many as 21 points. Manchin established independence among voters early

The Unctuous, Impoverishing
Bigotry Of Class Warfare

Class warfare is a form of bigotry; it shouldn’t be tolerated any more than we would other forms of bigotry in public life. Most people think of bigotry only in terms of race, religion, ethnicity and sexual orientation. But at its core, bigotry simply is intolerance – which all too often leads to singling people out for attack based upon their group identity. Think for a moment about the small business entrepreneur just starting out in his basement, mortgaged to the hilt, wondering if he will make it. Everyone loves these heroes when they are struggling to survive.

The 21-year-old student behind an alleged terror plot to blow up the New York Federal Reserve also planned to target a high-ranking U.S. official, believed to be President Obama. Quazi Nafis, from Bangladesh, was arrested early on Wednesday after he allegedly tried to remotely detonate a fake 1,000-pound car bomb outside the building in lower Manhattan, only a few blocks from the World Trade Center. The plot was foiled by a major FBI and NYPD operation which led to Nafis being supplied with fake explosives by an undercover agent. New York City Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said that a high-ranking

She got it wrong. She interfered. She took a side. Candy Crowley may finally have done something else as well: so visibly tipping the scales of media bias that the end result makes Mitt Romney the next president. Taken all together, CNN's Candy Crowley, in her zeal to intrude on the presidential debate and save President Obama from himself, may just have provided the televised moment that finally sparks a revolt against the four years of fawning coverage of President Obama. Becoming to the liberal media what the Tet Offensive was to Lyndon Johnson and the Vietnam War.

Mitt Didn’t Ask for ‘Binders Full

There are few things I love more than a good meme. If it can be GIF’d, tweeted, mocked, and then mocked on Tumblr again, I’m usually on board. Especially when the subject of the mockery is Mitt Romney. Like everyone else, I had several good laughs over the GOP candidate’s “binders full of women” quote from last night’s town-hall debate. But then I realized that, creepy as that imagery is, the country would be better off if more powerful men took a cue from Romney on this one. He says that, as governor, he made “a concerted effort

"Two Jews, three opinions" goes the famous joke. And every day, more of those opinions turn pro-Romney, as American Jews increasingly reject the collapsing presidency of Barack Hussein Obama. Romney's surging poll numbers in the crucial state of Florida reflect his growing success with Bubbie Molly and her unemployed grandson Adam, who both thought their right hand would wither if it ever pulled the lever for a Republican. The signs and portents are everywhere, beginning with the special election of a Republican in Anthony Weiner's heavily Jewish, New York congressional district one year ago.

Desperate times call for

More than enough has been written about Candy Crowley’s improper and inaccurate “fact-checking” of answers regarding Libya during last night’s debate. But let me briefly discuss an aspect of the exchange that I don’t think has received much attention. After Crowley opined that President Obama was correct in saying that, early on, he declared the Benghazi attack terrorism, Obama asked the moderator to repeat her assertion. Did anyone think it was presidential for Obama basically to beg a CNN personality to vouch for his truthfulness? I didn’t. To me it looked childish. To make matters worse, Crowley declined Obama’s entreaty.

The presidential debates

It is only natural to take the American presidential debates seriously. After all, they have been game-changing in the past. [Snip] Similarly, Ronald Reagan's devastating mockery of Jimmy Carter in 1979--"there you go again"--made his opposite number appear verbose and petty, while he seemed confident and astute by comparison. Kathleen Hall Jamieson, professor of political communication, rhetorical theory and criticism at the University of Pennsylvania, has argued that presidential debates do not change people's minds as often as one might expect. They are better seen, she says, as ways of informing the public.

Just one Muslim. And it’s completely unrelated to anything or anyone else.

If the mainstream press had any self-respect, presidential debate moderator Candy Crowley would be out of work today. Even by the media-bias standards we've come to expect, she set a new, unforgivable low. In a pre-debate interview with the Baltimore Sun's David Zurawik, Crowley talked about how she saw her role as moderator. "These are two grown men," she said, "and if there are two grown men who should know what's going on, or what should go on in this country, it's them. So I'm not sure either of them needs me

It is now obvious that the U.S. government's original story about the Benghazi consulate attack, delivered by its two heaviest hitters, the president and secretary of state, was false, and, more importantly, that it was intended to deceive. How can Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton outrun the scandal that now chases them, a scandal that makes Watergate look like cheating at tiddlywinks? As if "Fast and Furious" weren't enough, the administration now gives America "Slow and Spurious."

The Un-President

Conventional wisdom holds that Barack Obama "lost" in Denver because he lacked intensity. He brought his A-game to Hofstra this week. There's still a problem. The most significant event in the 2012 presidential election remains the Romney miracle bump after the first debate. If Mr. Romney wins the election, analysts and scholars will spend years picking apart the Denver debate the way they have the 1960 Kennedy-Nixon debate. Richard Nixon didn't lose that election because of his five o'clock shadow, and Barack Obama isn't going to win or lose his presidency because he lacks intensity.

You'll Never Guess What Barack

Atlantic, by Conor Friedersdorf Original Article

Since taking office President Obama has taken a radically expansive view of executive power, asserting the right to extra-judicially kill American citizens in secret, bomb foreign countries without congressional approval indefinitely detain American citizens, and spy on them without warrants. In addition, he has aggressively prosecuted whistleblowers and constantly invoked the state-secrets privilege. It is therefore jarring to look back on his Campaign 2008 discussion with Rick Warren, the megachurch pastor, particularly the part where he asked for Obama's thoughts on Chief Justice John Roberts: WARREN: How about John Roberts?

UPLAND, Calif. — The long road to Lance Armstrong’s downfall began here, across the world from the French Alps where he climbed to the pinnacle of cycling, at a strip-mall tattoo parlor in the foothills east of Los Angeles. Covered in ink from his legs to his neck, Kayle Leogrande, the owner of this shop, competed full time as a professional cyclist for only a couple of years. He met Armstrong only once, he said, at a 2005 race in Ojai, Calif. “I talked to him briefly after the race,” Leogrande, now 35, said. “I’m sure he thought,

The union that launched the career of Democratic National Committee executive director Patrick Gaspard is being accused of strong-arming a group of nursing homes to increase membership rolls. HealthBridge and CareOne, two nursing home companies, are suing the New England Health Care Employees Union (Service Employees International Union Chapter 1199 New England), accusing the labor leaders of using political threats and dangerous workplace sabotage to force several non-union shops into their ranks. The explosive charges stem from a July labor walkout in which identification badges were removed from elderly patients’ doors, including from some who suffer from dementia and Alzheimer’s,

An interesting story from last winter: An e-mail friend, a staunch Republican who lives in an affluent suburb far from Washington, was watching one of the Republican debates with his wife, a staunch Democrat. He was surprised by her response to Mitt Romney. “He’s a grown-up. He’s someone who is reliable,” he told me she said. “People will feel safe if he is in charge.” I’ve been thinking about that e-mail in the wake of the first presidential debate on October 3 and the vice-presidential debate last week.

Slowly but surely, the toxin of bias is being leached out of American culture, if incrementally and by degrees. A Catholic was elected president in 1960, and since then Catholic nominees and candidates have become commonplace. A Jew was nominated in 2000 for vice president, and was a help to his ticket. In 2004 and 2008 respectively, Joe Lieberman and Rudy Giuliani ran for president, and their names and religions did not become issues. The country’s first black president was elected four years ago by a fairly large margin. This year, a black woman and a Hispanic

By scoring big on the economy, gas prices, and Libya, Romney continued his victorious string of debate wins. He looked more presidential than Obama did and showed himself to be an articulate, capable, attractive, compassionate leader with sound ideas. Obama came over as boorish and Biden-esque. He did not learn from his Vice President's mistakes. When a president gets into a bar room brawl, he loses his dignity and his aura, key assets for an incumbent. Romney was polite but firm. Obama seemed quarrelsome, frustrated, nasty, and cranky. But the key reason for the Romney win was substantive:
