| CHICAGO — In the basement conference rooms of the posh Fairmont Hotel, President Obama’s top donors gathered before making their way to the election night party at McCormick Place, loosening up with a few drinks and wondering what a second term would bring. The so-called bundlers — those who’ve raised over $50,000 for the president — and their close friends said that Obama’s reelection was a “vindication” and gave him a “mandate” for the next four years. “He doesn’t have to play to get reelected anymore, which is huge,” said Chicago supporter Jim Slama, who first met

I hope so. I hope he overreaches so far that the scales will fall from the eyes of the electorate. Of course, he could name himself dictator for life and a third of the country would cheer him on. Scary.

Hmmm -- what happens if you unleash an empty suit?
Obama has neither the ability nor the inclination to prevent the coming collapse of western civilization.
Which makes me feel abused, and physically sick.
Whoever thought it was a good idea to give the vote to those who only take from society?

There is NO right to vote in Presidential elections..see Bush vs Gore. The Supreme Court ruled that no such right exists. Therefore, we should be pushing for a LAW stating that only people who PAY Federal Income Tax should be eligible to vote in Federal elections.

Emotionally, I tend to agree with you out of sense of frustration. However, you would deny the vote to me, who spent 6 years in the U.S. Army, went to college and graduate school, then worked 25 years in my career. Became ill from some things that happened in the military, and fortunately I had good support at the VA, and was able to have granted a 100% disability for PTSD and I have Social Security. Both of which are non-taxable along as I don't go crazy and try to work in mental health again at 68 years old. You sure you want another bureaucracy to separate the wheat from the chaff on this issue, #8?

Only property owners and taxpayers should be the voters in federal elections. Both those criteria illustrate basic competence.
If you couldn't find and hold a job, if you can't find a means to feed yourself beyond charity, if you are illiterate and unable to answer basic questions about our country and government, you are unlikely to make good decisions affecting the rest of us.
Vote for your state's officers if your state allows it, but no second or third or fourth generation parasite should have a vote in weighty matters they are not capable of understanding.

I am disgusted with those of you who think voting should only be allowed to those who work, pay federal income taxes, and own property. Should there be a government agency who handles this program? Or maybe just use the IRS to create another form far and away from their original mandate? Obama has already done that with his Obamacare monster. You are playing right into the hands.

Because it WAS only landowners who could vote way back when..........America was great.
And no, it wasn't ONLY 'white' ones.......the phrase is "Free Landowners"...since if you were an indentured servant or slave, AND OWNED PROPERTY(Oh, didn't know slaves owned land? Amazing what reading OLD books can do for you)it was thought that your owner/contract holder could influence your vote.

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell´s campaign has contacted the FBI after a recording of a private strategy meeting was published Tuesday in a liberal publication, claiming the campaign was the victim of "Watergate-style tactics" to bug the office. Several snippets of the audio from the February strategy sessions were published Tuesday by Mother Jones magazine, along with a lengthy article. The recording, obtained from an unnamed source, included McConnell aides discussing ways to politically damage actress Ashley Judd, who at the time was talked about as a possible McConnell challenger.

Lord Bell said: "It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother Baroness Thatcher died peacefully following a stroke this morning." Baroness Thatcher was Conservative prime minister from 1979 to 1990. She was the first woman to hold the post. Her family is expected to make a further statement later. Baroness Thatcher, born Margaret Roberts, became the Conservative MP for Finchley, north London in 1959, retiring from the Commons in 1992. Having been education secretary, she successfully challenged former prime minister Edward Heath for her party´s leadership in 1975.

It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice.

Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

Congress and the American people need to know what happened the night of Sept. 11, 2012. Who did the killing and what was their motive? Why wasn´t help sent? And why did the administration lie about who was responsible?

John McCain, who on Sunday’s “Face the Nation” on CBS questioned those Republicans who are threatening a filibuster on pending gun control legislation.

Margaret Thatcher had more impact on the world than any woman ruler since Catherine the Great of Russia. Not only did she turn around—decisively—the British economy in the 1980s, she also saw her methods copied in more than 50 countries. "Thatcherism" was the most popular and successful way of running a country in the last quarter of the 20th century and into the 21st. Her origins were humble. Born Oct. 13, 1925, she was the daughter of a grocer in the Lincolnshire town of Grantham. Alfred Roberts was no ordinary shopkeeper.
