| DES MOINES, Iowa- The election is all about an economy that Iowa voters think President Obama has done too little to fix. A Des Moines Register Iowa Poll shows Obama is ahead in Iowa 49% to 45%. But if Mitt Romney can convince voters that he truly knows how to doctor the nation's ailing economy, the GOP presidential candidate can still put Iowa in his pocket, political analysts say. Half of Iowa adults disapprove of the job the Democratic president is doing on the economy, an issue that 59% of likely voters here rank as one of the most important,

Farmers need to realize that the EPA is going to destroy their businesses if Obama gets re-elected. Obama has tried to buy their vote by still pushing ethanol production in the face of food shortages and inflation.
The real problem for Romney is the college crowd.Professors are among Obama's biggest donors. The reason is simple. With student loans so available,they can raise tuition 20 times the rate of inflation and self reward themselves with raises and bonuses.

FTA: "But those who think the country is going in the right direction have increased by 10 percentage points since February." This is what is keeping Obama from swirling down the drain. And, IMHO, is a direct result of the media cheerleading. No one is talking about the crushing debt their grandchildren are inheriting. No one is talking about losing their freedom to choose on healthcare and retirement. No one is talking about the sick economy & the crippling unemployment in the country. All we here is 'unexpected' bad news, or its someone else's fault while the talking heads on TV tell us how wonderful everything is.
I've never been so afraid of whats happening in this country as I am at this moment. The point of no return is approaching. Unless we can free the minds of these sheeple from the news media's teat, I'm afraid we're going to lose this fight.

The GOP needs to understand that America has been dumbed-down by the media/marketing and by lying Democrats (progressives and secularists) and MUST be educated if people are going to vote intelligently.
Romney's campaign must set aside some of its time and resources to explain how sound policies will help and how Marxist policies will fail and why we are running up an unsustainable national debt.
If they don't, people will vote by emotion based on perception, not the truth or facts.

The immigration proposal pending in Congress would transform the nation’s political landscape for a generation or more — pumping as many as 11 million new Hispanic voters into the electorate a decade from now in ways that, if current trends hold, would produce an electoral bonanza for Democrats and cripple Republican prospects in many states they now win easily. Beneath the philosophical debates about amnesty and border security, there are brass-tacks partisan calculations driving the thinking of lawmakers in both parties over comprehensive immigration reform, which in its current form offers a pathway to citizenship

However, Tsarnaev has a growing base of fans and supporters on Twitter who believe he is innocent of all charges. Using the Twitter hash tag #freejahar and #freedzhohkar, Tsarnaev´s supporters

The trial is underway for a former Democratic official and a Board of Elections worker who are accused of being part of a plot that has raised questions over whether President Obama´s campaign -- when he was a candidate in 2008 -- submitted enough legitimate signatures to have legally qualified for the presidential primary ballot. The two face charges of orchestrating an illegal scheme to fake the petitions that enabled then-candidates Obama, and Hillary Clinton, to qualify for the race in Indiana.

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama will attend Thursday’s memorial service for victims of the fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas. “After the formal opening of the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum, the President and First Lady will travel to Baylor University in Waco, Texas to attend the memorial service for those lost and injured in the deadly explosion at the fertilizer plant,” a White House aide said Monday afternoon. White House press secretary Jay Carney announced the visit moments later at his daily briefing. Obama will attend the Bush Center event with four living ex-presidents.

There are many reasons why it is terribly irritating when bright people seek to divine the intentions of the executors terroristic mass violence through their ethnicity. One of those reasons is that that this instinct is regularly indulged by people who consider themselves academicians. What is at its core a reactionary and undiscerning philosophy of drawing conclusions about terroristic violence based on the racial makeup of the accused (often before the perpetrators are even identified) is made more galling because it is regularly couched in the guise of intellectualism. But the impulse to convict or absolve

A former team-mate of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who is suspected of planting one of the Boston Marathon bombs, has posted a video of him wrestling and joking about during his high school years. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, was well-liked at among his high school classmates, who are struggling to believe him capable of carrying out the Boston Marathon bombing. Yushun Tsou was on the wrestling team at the Cambridge Rindge and Latin School with Tsarnaev, and has posted a video of him practising in a basement and dancing in front of the camera when they were at high school.

They go by such names as Gypsy, Maisy, Cooper, Lincoln and Shiner Bob, and their whereabouts in the days after Wednesday’s devastating fertilizer plant explosion in West has been heavy on the minds of their West human owners. They are the pets of West residents affected by the disaster, and while some evacuees were able to take their pets with them, others have had to wait for news. For West High School senior Mary Jane McElrath, 17, that news was mixed on her family’s two dogs and four cats.

Presidential campaigns are long in the making, quick to be forgotten. But one part of them lives on for years: the victor´s promises. President Barack Obama paved his path to re-election with fewer promises than in 2008. The ones he did lay down, though, are meaty, legacy-shaping for him and consequential to ordinary lives today and for generations to come, for better or worse. They also are extraordinarily difficult to achieve in a time of gridlock grief and budgets that are tight when they are not paralyzed. He´s promised to set a course in law against global warming,

In 1962, at the Carlyle Hotel in New York, a man “peeled off his clothing and began prancing around his hotel suite.” His bodyguards were cautiously amused, until the man “left the suite and began roaming through the corridor of the Carlyle.” The man in question was delusional, paranoid and suffering a “psychotic break” from the effects of an overdose of methamphetamine. He was also the president of the United States. The reason for John F. Kennedy’s bizarre behavior was that, according to an explosive new book, the president was — unbeknownst to him, at first — a meth addict.

“In this age of instant reporting and tweets and blogs, there´s a temptation to latch on to any bit of information, sometimes to jump to conclusions,” said President Obama, in the late evening of April 19, after Dzokhar Tsarnaev was captured alive in Watertown, Mass. (Snip)In an exceptionally well-reported story in the Daily Beast Friday, we read this: "One U.S. intelligence official who was regularly briefed on the investigation told Newsweek that he and his colleagues all but ruled out al Qaeda central or one of its affiliates giving direct and specific instructions for the attack."

THE graying man flashing fury in the Rose Garden on behalf of the Newtown families, the grieving man wiping away tears after speaking at the Boston memorial service, is not the same man who glided into office four years ago. President Obama has watched the blood-dimmed tide drowning the ceremony of innocence, as Yeats wrote, and he has learned how to emotionally connect with Americans in searing moments, as he did from the White House late Friday night after the second bombing suspect was apprehended in Boston.

In debate classes or law school, it is often referred to as the ‘arguing against the non-existing opponent’ tactic. The way it works is you imply your opponent is making an outlandish, unsavory claim (though he isn’t), hoping others will run with it or, at worst, that your opponent won’t sufficiently correct it and the claim sticks. To illustrate, imagine Sally is arguing in favor of marijuana’s legalization against Tom. In the middle of the debate, Tom suddenly shrieks: “Well, Sally, you can talk about legalizing marijuana all you want but I just don’t believe

With one suspect dead, authorities believe answers to a motive and whether the brothers had help rest with Dzhokar Tsarnaev, who was captured Friday night just minutes after authorities had indicated that a massive manhunt for the suspect appeared to come up empty.

Speaking Sunday on CBS’ ”Face the Nation,” Deval (deh-VAL’) Patrick said it’s hard to imagine why someone would deliberately harm, quote “innocent men, women and children in the way that these two fellows did.” Patrick also said law enforcers believe the immediate threat ended when the police killed one of the alleged terrorists and captured the other.

The most glaring fact about our president is that he is an empty suit. The people around him are also empty suits. They believe in nothing, really, but unearned luxury, unmerited adulation, and unaccountable power. Those whom we have come to call "leftists" are in fact nothing but nihilists, and we flatter them when we presume that they value anything beyond their vanities, their avarice, and their selfishness.

He said the Boston attack reminded him more of the 1999 attack on Columbine than a terror event orchestrated by a foreign network. “I would charge these guys as murders not terrorists,” Mudd said of the suspects in the attack on the Boston Marathon. “Do you think we have to fear copycats – more of these small,
