Democrats find their issue,

Orange County Register [CA], by Mark Steyn Original Article

So the other morning a reader emails me a picture of a handful of women demonstrating outside the headquarters of the Ohio Republican Party – in what we expert analysts round about this point in the quadrennial election cycle like to call the critical battleground of the Buckeye State. The women each wore two giant pieces of cardboard, front and back. Ah, I thought, a timely protest. These activists understand that, with Obama’s flatline economy drifting inexorably to a $20 trillion federal debt, we’ll soon be living in cardboard shacks

Rev Billy Graham buys
election ads, urges voting

"Vote for biblical values this November 6." That's the message from one of the most famous pastors in the U-S. In a full-page ad in major news publications, the Reverend Billy Graham is calling on voters to cast a ballot for their faith. The 93-year-old evangelical preacher met Republican Mitt Romney for the first time last week at his home in North Carolina. But he has not endorsed any candidate for president. Instead, Graham's spokesman says the ads challenge Americans on how to vote, not who to vote for.

It's Past Time to
Stop Blaming Bush

The Obama campaign blames today’s economic doldrums on past Bush policies. But this rhetoric doesn’t square with the record. With the presidential campaign turning white hot, the decade-old “Bush tax cuts” are attracting more blame than ever for the post-Bush economy. Because one facet of Romney’s tax reform proposal is a reduction in all income tax rates, the Obama campaign has been equating it with the “failed policies of the past” (most notably the Bush tax cuts), which allegedly created the mess we’re in.

Herman Cain: ‘Stupid people

Former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain wants employers to advise their employees about how to vote in the Nov. 6 general election. Cain, speaking to about 30 people at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Philadelphia Friday as part of his 30-day "Truth Tour," said employers must educate their workers about the presidential candidates' public policy proposals. "Because one of the reasons we had to do this truth tour is that stupid people are ruining America," Cain declared. "Some of them don't know they're stupid. But they are ruining America."

Fidel Castro in 'vegetative

HAVANA — The rumor mill surrounding the health of Fidel Castro churned anew on Friday, despite a letter from the aging Cuban revolutionary published by state media and denials by relatives at home and in the United States that he is on death's door. Social media sites and some news organizations have reported allegations by a Venezuelan doctor that Castro, 86, had suffered a massive stroke, was in a vegetative state, and had only weeks to live, though the same doctor, Jose Rafael Marquina, has made some claims before that have not panned out.

Nancy Lack is old enough to remember the rise and fall of Hitler, so when she saw a sign in her Connecticut neighborhood that attempted to liken President Obama to the Nazi dictator, she took action. Lack, who is 80, saw the sign portraying Obama with Hitler's trademark toothbrush mustache on a table set up by supporters of fringe presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche in downtown Hebron. She slammed on her brakes, spryly jumped out of her car and strode toward the display, where she tore down the offensive sign and snatched another two posters off the table. “I just got

Joaquin Phoenix is apparently not a fan of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and despite being twice nominated for an Oscar, the actor who is hotly tipped for a nod for “The Master” told Interview magazine he believes the annual awards ceremony is an exercise in self-congratulation. “I think it’s total, utter bulls***, and I don’t want to be a part of it. I don’t believe in it,” he said. “It’s a carrot, but it’s the worst-tasting carrot I’ve ever tasted in my whole life. I don’t want this carrot. It’s totally subjective. Pitting people against each

Poor corporate earnings reports are pounding the stock market in a sour end to an otherwise strong week. The Dow Jones industrial average fell more than 200 points for its worst day in four months. Disappointing results from three giants of the Dow — Microsoft, General Electric and McDonald's — were to blame. The broader market fell, too. The Dow sank 205 points, or 1.5 percent, to close at 13,344 Friday. (Snip) The declines were broad. Four stocks fell for every one that rose on the New York Stock Exchange. Volume was relatively heavy at 3.8 billion shares.

Fox Panel Battles Over

During Fox News’ America Live this afternoon, Megyn Kelly‘s panel debated whether The View treated Ann Romney unfairly by asking aggressive questions, compared to the show’s “kid glove” treatment of First Lady Michelle Obama. Kelly began the segment by playing snippets from Ann Romney’s interview on the talk show in which the GOP candidate’s wife immediately faced tough questions about stem-cell research, abortion, and Mormonism. Meanwhile, President Obama and his wife were initially asked about their wedding anniversary. “I don’t think it’s that surprising that a Republican would

Obama racks up newspaper endorsements

A number of major regional newspapers endorsed a presidential candidate on Friday, with most of the endorsements going to President Obama.The Denver Post, The Tampa Bay Times and The Salt Lake Tribune all endorsed him, same as they did in 2008. But The Orlando Sentinel broke from its 2008 endorsement of Obama and picked Mitt Romney for president this time. The most surprising was the Tribune's endorsement of Obama, given Romney's ties to Utah and its heavily-Mormon population.

After a lifetime of voting for and supporting Democrats — and even declining appointment to the U.S. Senate from a Democratic governor — Lee Iacocca Thursday endorsed Republican Mitt Romney for president. The blessings of the onetime Chrysler chairman are expected to help Romney in two highly competitive states: Pennsylvania, where the 88-year-old Iacocca was born and raised and is still widely respected, and in Michigan, where Iacocca rose to become a major figure in the auto industry and won international praise for cobbling together the government-backed loans that saved Chrysler in 1980. Iacocca, who now lives in California,

Gun industry thrives during

Washington - President Barack Obama has presided over a heyday for the gun industry despite predictions by the National Rifle Association four years ago that he would be the ‘‘most anti-gun president in American history.’’ Gun buyers fear that Obama wants to restrict their purchases, especially if he were re-elected. An analysis by The Associated Press of data tracking the health of the gun industry shows that sales are on the rise, so much that some gun manufacturers can’t make enough guns fast enough. Major gun company stock prices are up. (Snip) ‘‘The driver is President Obama. He’s the best

Is Obama buying the election
with his welfare explosion?

Posted By: Scottyboy- 10/19/2012 4:13:55 PM Post Reply

With the unprecedented explosion of means-tested, welfare-related entitlements, does Team Obama think it can buy the election? It’s a cynical question. But I wouldn’t put it past that cynical bunch. Remember Harry Hopkins, Franklin Roosevelt’s close aid? It was Hopkins who argued tax and tax, spend and spend, elect and elect. Sound familiar? And if I’m not mistaken, the high-tax, anti-rich, big-spending, redistributionist FDR is one of Barack Obama’s idols. So let’s take a look at some of the recent budget-explosion data points:

The author of a Hillary Clinton profile in Marie Claire magazine on Friday accused “over-protective bulldogs” on the Secretary of State’s staff of flipping out in a flap over the interpretation of comments Clinton made in an interview about “whining” and women’s work-family balance. “Now I’m pi$$ed,” novelist Ayelet Waldman, author of the magazine piece, wrote on Twitter. “I wrote a very laudatory piece about Hillary Clinton which absolutely accurately quotes her. It gets picked up and her over-protective bulldogs go insane. We were absolutely talking about women and work life balance when she made the whining comment.”

Democratic Congressional candidate Raul Ruiz, who was arrested for his role in a violent protest on Thanksgiving Day, 1997, doesn't want voters in California's 36th Congressional District to know what he said at a 1999 "Day of Mourning" rally.

Just how badly did CNN's Candy Crowley destroy her first (and hopefully last) attempt as a presidential debate moderator? More than 65 million people saw that she is to debate moderation as CNN is to "news." Barack Obama made a fatal mistake when he lied, claiming he'd labeled the Libya attack as an act of terrorism. The look on Romney's face said it all: Mr. President, here comes checkmate.

Today’s presidential tracking poll from Rasmussen shows a two-point gain for Barack Obama, bringing him into a tie with Mitt Romney at 48/48. At first blush, that looks as though Obama may have righted the ship after the second debate, but Rasmussen warns that the most recent surveys show momentum in the opposite direction: (Snip) Today’s result dropped the surveying that took place the day before the debate, which apparently wasn’t terribly good for Obama, and retains the day of the debate, which apparently was better for the incumbent President, at least relative to Romney.

President Obama on Oct. 17 had his single most lucrative day of campaign fundraising ever, an Obama campaign official confirmed to ABC News. The record-setting haul, which the official declined to specify, was attributed to a surge of online contributions from grassroots donors following Obama’s performance in the second 2012 presidential debate. The campaign announced last week that it has amassed a base of 4 million unique donors — or 1 in 75 Americans — a new record. The flood of cash appears to signal a resurgent enthusiasm among Democrats, two weeks after the president’s lackluster first debate rattled nerves

New York - The pace of previously owned home sales slowed slightly in September, even as the long-battered housing market showed signs of a broader recovery. Sales of existing homes sold at an annual rate of 4.75 million, according to a closely watched reading reported Friday from the National Association of Realtors. It was off slightly from the 4.83 million pace the previous month, but up 11% from a year earlier. Despite the slip, September's pace was the second best in more than two years, trailing only the strong August reading.

Stone Town/Dar es Salaam - Muslim protesters clashed with police in Tanzania's commercial capital and on the semi-autonomous island of Zanzibar on Friday, raising religious tensions in the east African country. In Dar es Salaam, protests against the arrest of a hardline Muslim cleric turned violent, while in Zanzibar, supporters of an Islamist separatist group have repeatedly fought police over the disappearance of their spiritual leader. The violence has raised concerns of an escalation in religious tensions in relatively stable and secular Tanzania, east Africa's second-largest economy.

“Pyramid of Power” Looking for

“Change We Need” is the prevailing political attitude in Chicago’s black community, and it has nothing to do with Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign slogan or 2012 re-election campaign. Getting rid of the “Tiresome Threesome” black city congressmen – the ailing Bobby Rush (D-1), first elected in 1992; the scandal-challenged Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-2), first elected in 1995; and the indolent and increasingly irrelevant Danny Davis (D-7), first elected in 1996 – has become a priority among black politicians. A congressional seat is a prized plum, nestled at the apex of the “Pyramid of Power” which typifies Chicago and Cook County
