Our pick for president: Romney
Orlando Sentinel [FL], by Editorial

Original Article

Posted By:Dreadnought, 10/18/2012 9:41:27 PM

Two days after his lackluster first debate performance, President Barack Obama's re-election hopes got a timely boost. The government's monthly jobless report for September showed the nation's unemployment rate fell below 8 percent for the first time since he took office. If that were the only metric that mattered, the president might credibly argue that the U.S. economy was finally on the right track. Unfortunately for him, and for the American people, he can't. Economic growth, three years into the recovery, is anemic. Family incomes are down, poverty is up.

Momentum is building for Romney. He IS going to win and it feels so good!!

"Other presidents have succeeded even with the other party controlling Capitol Hill. Democrat Bill Clinton presided over an economic boom and balanced the budget working with Republicans. Leaders find a way."

This adguy hopes Romney's campaign adopts the last sentence as his mantra -- it says it all.

The sounds of scales dropping the eyes of the libs is going to be deafening. Hey Oblamer, it's official, forget Florida.

Then endorsements are piling up. Nice to see.

To be honest, I'm not pinning all my hopes on Romney, although he will know he's got a huge job fixing the things that are going wrong. We can never sit back on our laurels. Congress must be dragged back to the Constitution and people need to be educated as to why that's a better, more beneficial state for them.

It's going to take a long time and the Democrats are going to be fighting non-stop, 24/7 to keep their graft going. Some Republicans too.

What you INHERIT is no EXCUSE for doing NOTHING or making matters WORSE. 0bama has been less effective at fixing things than a bumper sticker slogan and more destructive than a 4 ft deep pothole. Any newspaper that endorses 0bama today is endorsing the ''success story" of Greece and is embracing failed socialism.

The Slantinel is cursed, only people left reading were leftists and loons, conservatives left when they endorsed Kerry and won't return until they drop kick mike lafferty and Scott maxwell, which won't be soon. An endorsement like this makes sense although I know deep in their hearts it sickened them to do so. Keep in mind these weenies refuse to endorse Todd Long against Alan Grayson, a complete no brainer.

Not if WTP don't pull out all the stoppers, #1.

As Stalin said: 'It's not who casts the votes, but who counts the votes'
And it's certainly not the newspaper endorsements.

Even at this late date, there is an appalling amount of ignorance, lethargy, deception, malfeasance, and criminal intent out there.

This is HUGE. As a Florida resident, I know only too well that the Orlando Slantinel has been a deep-blue liberal rag forever.
But Orlando's suburbs have gotten redder and redder, and their readership has dwindled down to coupon clippers along with most of the liberal old media.

To see them make this admission is very telling for the state's continued momentum toward GOP.

Normally, the people who cover the media industry try studiously to avoid mentioning the very obvious fact that America´s elite journalists are overwhelmingly liberal and that one can discern this by reviewing their output. This is a logical response considering that said reporters probably do not wish to antagonize potential sources. It´s hard to report on the media if no one in the media will speak to you. In the case of the recent journalist meltdown over gun control, the bias was so overwhelming

BOSTON — Within hours of the Boston Marathon bombing, investigators were already overwhelmed. Bloody clothing, bags, shoes and other evidence from victims and witnesses were piling up. Videos and still images, thousands of them, were beginning to accumulate. Quickly, the authorities secured a warehouse in Boston’s Seaport district and filled the sprawling space: On half of the vast floor, hundreds of pieces of bloody clothes were laid out to dry so they could be examined for forensic clues or flown to FBI labs at Quantico in Prince William County for testing. In the other half of the room

Authorities pressed forward Saturday in their search for answers in the Boston Marathon bombing, and the person who likely knows more than anyone else is the surviving suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, known to friends as “Jahar.” He remained hospitalized with gunshot wounds and was “not able to communicate yet,” said Massachusetts Gov. Deval L. Patrick. Tsarnaev is at heavily guarded Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, the same hospital where his older brother, Tamerlan, 26, was pronounced dead Friday after a shootout with police in the Boston suburb of Watertown. “One of the reasons why I and so many

The FBI will use the “public safety exception” to the Miranda rule in order to interrogate Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the surviving Boston bomber, without having to read him his Constitutional rights. ABC News: The exception, according to the FBI‘s website, “permits law enforcement to engage in a limited and focused unwarned interrogation and allows the government to introduce the statement as direct evidence.” “Police officers confronting situations that create a danger to themselves or others may ask questions designed to

NEW BEDFORD — The FBI detained three people in connection with marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev after a raid at the Hidden Brook apartment complex Friday evening, according to New Bedford police. Lt. Robert Richard told The Standard-Times the FBI executed a search warrant, taking into custody two college-age males and one female who are believed to be fellow students or roommates of Tsarnaev. "At this point, they´re being questioned as to ... their familiarization with suspect No. 2," Richard said around 7:30 p.m. Friday. The names of those taken

How…how how how how how will President Obama and his allies spin this? A Washington Post-ABC News poll — not a Rasmussen or some Rove outfit, but the Post and an alphabet network — finds that by a wide margin, more Americans believe that having a gun in the home makes it safer than not. It’s not even close. A majority — 51% — believe that having a gun in the home makes that home safer. Only 29% believe the opposite. Moreover, the trend favors the guns

President Obama praised Bostonians for the capture of the suspected terrorist bomber Friday night, even as he issued a plea for the public not to rush to judgment about the suspects’ possible motives. “Whatever hateful agenda drove these men to such heinous acts will not, cannot, prevail,” Mr. Obama said at the White House. “Whatever they thought they could ultimately achieve, they’ve already failed.” Mr. Obama said the terrorists failed because Boston and the nation refused to be intimidated. And then Mr. Obama spoke about the importance of Americans’ spirit “staying true to the unity and the diversity

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — The Hub stopped Friday. The kinetic and salty city of Boston, which got its proud nickname from Oliver Wendell Holmes in the 19th century, came to a standstill Friday while an army of heavily armed police hunted for a skinny 19-year-old in a gray hoodie. By order of the state, a public transit system that serves more than 1.3 million riders a day was padlocked. Amtrak trains were suspended between Boston and New York. Businesses, offices and some of the world’s greatest universities were shut. Taxis were ordered off the streets for part of the day. Residents

As their photographs spread rapidly across the Internet, the Tsarnaev brothers decided to make their move. Not waiting for police to find them, they gathered guns and homemade explosives for what became a final, bloody rampage on a community still in shock from the bombing three days before. In less than 15 minutes late Thursday, authorities said, the brothers fatally shot a campus police officer as he sat in his car, then carjacked a Mercedes-Benz sport-utility vehicle at gunpoint. They held the driver hostage for 30 minutes as they scoured Boston’s western suburbs for bank machines

WATERTOWN, Mass. — Police arrested the second suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing here Friday night after a day-long manhunt led them to the wounded man hiding in a back yard. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, was found after a resident in Watertown saw blood on a boat parked behind his home. The man looked under a plastic cover and saw a man inside the boat, covered in blood. Officers responded, and they exchanged gunfire with the suspect and threw “flash-bang” grenades into the boat in an attempt to flush him out. The suspect was later seized by a SWAT team

Long before the gruesome bombings at the Boston marathon, U.S. counterterrorism officials feared that the improvised explosive devices used so effectively by insurgents on the Iraq and Afghanistan battlefields might one day make their way to U.S. shores. And as authorities sift the crime scene for clues about who carried out Monday´s attack that killed three and injured more than 140, a new question lingers over the Homeland Security front: Has America entered a new era of terrorism in which small, easily hidden bombs that can wreak panic and carnage supplant or augment the larger-scale terrorist attacks favored by traditional

FOX 25's Bob Ward reported that as many 30 shots were fired in the neighborhood. Ward reported that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the man known as suspect 2, was shot by police.

Federal law enforcement officials are actively investigating the possibility that the Boston bombers were known to the government’s terror-trackers, MailOnline understands. Any inquiry into the marathon bombing will look into whether agents could have taken action – but didn’t – to prevent the Tsarnaev brothers from obtaining the explosives that killed 3 and wounded 173 others. CBS News reported Friday evening that two years ago, the FBI interviewed the elder brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, who was killed in Thursday night´s dramatic shootout. The feds reportedly spoke to him at the request of an unspecified foreign government, but couldn´t

So once again, no good deed goes unpunished. Uncle Sam lets another bunch of leeching future terrorists into the country who have absolutely no business being here, gives them “asylum,” making them immediately eligible for welfare, and this is the thanks we get? They turn into mass murderers. We bring in thousands of Muslims from a primitive society that has been battling Christians for centuries, and put them into a peaceful Christian society — what could possible go wrong? This is what I was thinking about yesterday, with much of the city under what amounted to martial law.

The Massachusetts college student wanted in the Boston Marathon bombing was captured wounded, but alive after hiding out in a boat parked in a backyard on Friday evening. The arrest of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev signaled the end of five days of terror set-off by the double bombing at the marathon finish line and the mayor of Boston, Thomas Menino, was quoted by the Boston Globe as taking to the police scanner to exclaim, ´We got him´. Relieved law enforcement officers began cheering and clapping after Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, was arrested and is now in a serious condition at Beth Israel Deaconess

We are still speculating about virtually everything right now, but I feel as though I need to explain why I find the quick and easy conversation about Muslims being radicalized in America to be so illogical and laced with bigotry. Of course, there is a global violent jihadist movement, loosely organized, that wants to recruit young men to influence policies at home and abroad and perhaps usher in the global caliphate. That ideology motivates some Muslims to kill innocent people.But you´re allowed to be a radical Muslim in America.

Citing acts of violence in Boston and New York, Rehab blamed Islamophobic forces for inciting hate crimes.
