Will Bob Schieffer Ask Obama
About China Donations?
Breitbart Big Government, by Tony Lee    Original Article
Posted By: JoniTx- 10/21/2012 12:12:27 PM     Post Reply
CBS News's Bob Schieffer, who will moderate Monday's foreign policy debate, announced last week that China will be one of topics he will have President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney address. China is a particularly timely topic, given that a recent Government Accountability Institute (GAI) report that found Obama's campaign website may be vulnerable to foreign donations--and deliberately so. In addition, there have been recent reports that the Chinese government may be actively spying on nearly every American industry. That makes China's potential for exploiting loopholes in U.S. campaign laws to influence elections and undermine America's sovereignty

The United States had an unmanned Predator drone over its consulate in Benghazi during the attack that slaughtered four Americans — which should have led to a quicker military response, it was revealed yesterday. “They stood, and they watched, and our people died,” former CIA commander Gary Berntsen told CBS News.(Snip)The Pentagon said it moved a team of special operators from Central Europe to Sigonella, Italy — about an hour flight from Libya — but gave no other details. Fighter jets and Specter AC-130 gunships — which could have been used to help disperse the bloodthirsty mob —

Caught in the current

CUATRO MILPAS, MEXICO— In this hardscrabble farming village, an American teenager like Luis Martinez was bound to stand out. Raised on Little Caesars pizzas and Big Gulps, Luis, 13, was portly. The village kids, subsisting on bowls of chicken broth, were all bones and elbows.(Snip)Luis never imagined living a peasant's life in Sinaloa. But like other children whose parents or other family members were deported, he was swept into the current of reverse migration. Thousands of U.S.-born children of former illegal immigrants now live in cities and towns across Mexico. Disoriented by cultural differences and often unable

  


  

Rev. Jackson Says Son
Going to Mayo for Checkup
Associated Press, by Staff    Original Article

Chicago - The Rev. Jesse Jackson says his congressman son will return to Minnesota's Mayo Clinic for a checkup. The elder Jackson told The Associated Press on Sunday that doctors will determine whether the congressman needs to stay longer. The younger Jackson left the clinic in September after seeking treatment for bipolar disorder. He first took medical leave in June. The younger Jackson has given no indication of when he'll return to work but released a robocall to voters asking for patience. A Mayo spokeswoman says Jackson isn't a current patient

Mitt Romney for president

Mitt Romney is the man who can lead the nation out of its lingering economic doldrums and restore faith in the United States. A successful executive in the public and private sector, Romney is a committed capitalist who understands that the nation's prosperity is driven by free enterprise, not government. Under President Barack Obama's liberal and inconsistent leadership, the country has limped along, barely a step ahead of another recession. The deficit soared, government expanded and the prospects of more regulations and taxes chilled corporate investment.

Rubio: President Obama "has no
plans" for next term

One day before the final presidential debate, Senator Marco Rubio, R-Fla., offered a strong defense of Mitt Romney and panned the president as a leader lacking vision refusing to divulge his plans for the future. "The president has no plans for the next four years," Rubio said on "Face the Nation" Sunday. "Tomorrow is his last chance to tell us what he's going to do in the next four years." The Florida senator said the debates have been an important component of the presidential race because Romney was able to cut through the president's narrative.

The Struggle for Obama
is Really a Religious Battle
Over the Soul of the Republic
Canada Free Press, by Kelly O'Connell    Original Article

Why the grim struggle waged over an eminently forgettable, laughably amateurish poseur—Barack Obama, in all his tragic and self-deluded grandeur? Actually this raging battle is for stakes so much larger than what’s on the surface it’s difficult to fathom. You see, personalities aside, we are caught in a titanic struggle over the soul of of America—regarding our collective DNA—what we believe and who we are. Progressive forces are trying to birth into being a neo-pagan kingdom, with all that implies, symbolized by the Democrat National Convention dropping Israel and God from the party platform.

It’s been Democrats’ mantra this campaign: Republicans are waging a “war on women.” But GOP Rep. Jeff Flake is flipping the script on Democrat Richard Carmona just as he surges in the Arizona Senate contest. Flake’s attack ads have raised questions about Carmona’s treatment of women, forcing the former U.S. surgeon general to play defense and address the issue in debates, press releases, news conferences and his own campaign ads.

Halloween spending becomes
downright scary: $8 billion
Washington Examiner [DC], by Liz Farmer    Original Article
Posted By: JoniTx- 10/21/2012 11:33:16 AM     Post Reply
Homemade costumes and trick-or-treating? That's for amateurs. Halloween has morphed into an all-out spending spree, as the business of fear has grown into a multibillion-dollar industry. The nation's largest retail trade association projects that would-be ghosts, zombies and vampires will spend a record $8 billion this year. Only during the December holiday season do consumers spend more (more than $500 billion). Derwood resident Denny Carter, though, says Halloween is his most expensive holiday. He estimates his total Halloween tab will surpass $1,300 -- with the majority of that going toward his annual Halloween party.

It’s Code Red in Moonbat nation

The moonbats are melting down. They look at the polls, they see Romney ahead, and they react the only way they know how — badly. An outbreak of Bush Derangement Syndrome, a mental disorder previously believed to have been eradicated in 2009, was observed last week at Hofstra University. MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell, the tough street kid from St. Sebastian’s and Harvard, challenges Tagg Romney, that wimp from Belmont Hill, to a fistfight. Preppie-on-preppie crime. Ann Romney is badgered on “The View” about Mormonism, by yentas who would never dare say anything negative about, say, Islam.

50 years ago, Tampa was on

TAMPA -- On a Sunday morning during the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis, operators at a satellite tracking radar site reported a missile had been launched from Cuba and was heading toward Tampa. Projected impact: 18 miles from MacDill Air Force Base. The Strategic Air Command on Oct. 28, 1962, was on the highest alert in history: DEFCON 2, one step short of imminent war. The president and Pentagon feared a surprise attack, and that's exactly what the missile rocketing toward Tampa appeared to be. But none of the command's bombers or missiles was launched. The report was false;

  



New York Times quietly

The White House scrambled late Saturday to deny a New York Times report claiming Iran has agreed to meet directly with U.S. officials to discuss its nuclear program, sending New York Times editors rushing to quietly but substantially revise their initial reporting on a key foreign policy issue for the second time in as many months. According to the Times, which anonymously quoted senior administration officials, Iran told diplomats it wanted to wait until after the November presidential election to put plans for the meeting in motion. “It has the potential to help Mr. Obama make the case

Obama plans ‘around

President Obama will spend 48 hours campaigning “around the clock” in a frenzied effort to court swing-state voters two weeks before Election Day. “The America Forward Tour,” beginning Wednesday, will take the president through six swing states and three time zones during a 48-hour period, the campaign said in a statement on Saturday. Obama will hold “late night grass roots” events, “meet with volunteers” and “talk to undecided voters” in Iowa, Colorado, Nevada, Florida, Virginia and Ohio on Wednesday and Thursday. Those six swing states will be critical in determining the outcome of the 2012 election.

Romney for president

The Chronicle's backing of Barack Obama in 2008 broke a 44-year string of endorsing Republican candidates for president. Like so many others, we were captivated by the Illinois senator's soaring rhetoric and energized by his promise to move American politics beyond partisan gridlock and into an era of hope and change. It hasn't happened. Four years later, President Obama's deeds have failed to match his words, much less his specific vows to cut the national debt by half and bring the nation's unemployment rate to 6 percent. As Texans, it is a particular vexation

On Oct. 3, I raised a question here that reflected President Obama’s strong momentum and Mitt Romney’s apparent readiness to accept defeat. “Are you a good loser, Mitt?” I wrote. I have my answer. I’ve gotten it so many times in the last 17 days that I am now convinced of it. The answer is no, Mitt Romney is not a good loser. He is instead determined to be the next president of the United States. And I am starting to believe he will be. The New & Improved Mitt took the stage in the first debate,

  


  

Reno Paper: 'Fluke Takes

Saturday evening, via Emerson Marcus and with the Associated Press contributing, the Reno Gazette-Journal, which I hope doesn't try to describe itself as a family newspaper, published an irony-free a 500-word story (HT to a NewBusters tipster) on an appearance by Sandra Fluke earlier in the day "in front of about 10 people at the Sak ‘N Save in north Reno." You can't make this stuff up. The story is currently the "Most Popular" at the paper's rgj.com home page.

After nearly four years of economic stagnation, massive unemployment, record-setting debt and government intrusions into the economy that have paralyzed the private sector, the United States needs a new direction. For this reason, The Dispatch urges voters to choose Republican Mitt Romney for president in the Nov. 6 election. In 2008, The Dispatch warned of the problems that would result if Barack Obama were chosen as president. Noting the scant experience that Obama offered the nation in 2008 — eight unremarkable years in the Illinois Senate and less than one term

Psst, taxes go up in 2013

WASHINGTON- President Barack Obama isn't talking about it and neither is Mitt Romney. But come January, 163 million workers can expect to feel the pinch of a big tax increase regardless of who wins the election. A temporary reduction in Social Security payroll taxes is due to expire at the end of the year and hardly anyone in Washington is pushing to extend it. Neither Obama nor Romney has proposed an extension, and it probably wouldn't get through Congress anyway, with lawmakers in both parties down on the idea.

Obama campaign accepted

The Obama re-election campaign has accepted at least one foreign donation in violation of the law — and does nothing to check on the provenance of millions of dollars in other contributions, a watchdog group alleges. Chris Walker, a British citizen who lives outside London, told The Post he was able to make two $5 donations to President Obama’s campaign this month through its Web site while a similar attempt to give Mitt Romney cash was rejected. It is illegal to knowingly solicit or accept money from foreign citizens. Walker said he used his actual street address

  



International monitors at US

United Nations-affiliated election monitors from Europe and central Asia will be at polling places around the U.S. looking for voter suppression activities by conservative groups, a concern raised by civil rights groups during a meeting this week. The intervention has drawn criticism from a prominent conservative-leaning group combating election fraud. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), a United Nations partner on democratization and human rights projects, will deploy 44 observers around the county on Election Day to monitor an array of activities, including potential disputes at polling places.

Bye-Bye, Optimus Prime

When a candidate can't run on his past and has no ideas for the future, he must destroy his opponent in the present -- which can be done by distorting his adversary's history and lying about his plans for the future. There is a problem with this approach, however. It works only if people trust the candidate doing the distorting. Should people actually take a look for themselves and not come up with the same conclusion, the disseminator with the poor past and no plans begins to lose credibility.

Romney/Ryan RNC Storm Pennsylvania

The Romney/Ryan campaign and the Republican National Committee have moved 60 staffers into Pennsylvania, according to Sam Stein of the Huffington Post, the latest sign that the Republican Party sees the Keystone State as competitive. Recent polls showed the GOP ticket closing the gap with President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, with one poll suggesting Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan could be slightly ahead. Ryan appeared briefly at a campaign stop in western Pennsylvania yesterday at a rally that was organized at the last minute but still attracted 800 supporters.

The attack in Benghazi, which killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, was practically the only foreign policy issue to come up in the second presidential debate, and it's sure to come up again in Monday's final debate, which will be entirely devoted to foreign policy. (Snip) But one issue is unambiguous: There has been a crippling and dangerous lack of security in Libya since Moammar Kadafi was overthrown last year with the help of NATO airstrikes. This was an issue that many observers worried about while the war was ongoing: Was there a plan

For several days, reports have circulated that attorney Gloria Allred--who always seems to surface when a Democrat is in trouble--is about to drop an “October surprise” on the Romney campaign. Speculation has surrounded a story published last week by the left-wing website AlterNet, purporting to tell the story of women who claimed Mitt Romney advised them in the 1980s, in his capacity as a church leader, against having abortions. There is only one problem: the story is not new, and Breitbart News already discussed several aspects of the tale in January 2012
