Let’s Not Panic Over Romney’s Defeat
American Spectator, by William Tucker

Original Article

Posted By:Pluperfect, 11/21/2012 6:15:04 AM

I know most people would like to forget about the election, but as someone who supported Mitt Romney throughout the primary campaign -- taking a lot of flak from Spectator readers in the process -- I would like to defend his effort and make a few comments about the future of the Republican Party. First of all, Romney ran a damned good race. He was up in the polls by as much as 7 points (Gallup) going into the last week. Where he got sandbagged was Hurricane Sandy. The storm captured the nation´s attention

"he got sandbagged was Hurricane Sandy"

That´s absurd. He got sandbagged by massive and multi-pronged election fraud.

Aside from the 100.00% sweeps in Dem areas, van loads of blacks showing up to vote where none live, and 140% turnout of registered voters, the voting machines were just gamed for the Dem win. At my voting location and everyone I talk to, lines were out the door. Massive turnout. But at the end, the official numbers are that 12 million fewer people voted for POTUS than 4 years ago. My guess is that maybe 20 million votes were discarded, probably all of them for Romney.

I agree,the republican hand wringing needs to stop.This whole movement of being liberal lite needs to stop also.Our biggest problem is Obama´s open borders policy which is in direct violation of the law.There needs to be lawsuits brought against them for recruiting foreigners with welfare welcome kits.

If you delete the votes cast for Obama because Romney was white, Romney would win big time. Obama isn´t really president to the majority of the people who work in the private sector and are paying the freight for this circus.

Let´s end all this hindsight. Face it, it´s all over. Romney was beaten by being what he was, a flip-flopper. He was also beaten by the 47 percent running around with Obamaphones. He was beaten by 8.5 million "disabled". He was beaten by god knows how many food stamp users.
Cain had a chance until somebody assassinated him (hmmmmmm, I wonder who???). The republicrats consistently ran machine politicians except where the tea party candidate was able to beat the republicrat candidates. Dare I say that the difference between republican and democrat is infinitesimal. Well folks, we finally did it, we ended the greatest experiment in human history. The republic is no more. The Constitution is a bath mat. The lunatics run the asylum. Welcome to the USSA. I hope you like it here ´cause this is all that´s left. Stop talking about this in get into the handout line like a good little American. Oh, and drop your pants for the TSA cavity check.

I am far from "panicked" or however you spell it....but I do wonder why we are no longer seeing pictures of Obama touring the Storm sites. What is he doing ? And what is Romney doing ?

If Romney wants to "prove" his worthiness then I would expect to see him helping out even in defeat. The GOP needs to know what sells and not just quit because we lost.

Do the right things and stick to the message. Win or lose. If this is truly the right course people will see it eventually.

Mitt needs to be organizing food deliveries and soliciting funds. Is he , or were we looking at a false front ?

All politics is local. 30 of 50 states are either controlled by a Republican governor or GOP-controlled state houses. All the states that matter to me (OK-TX-KY) are solidly RED.

Save for some college towns and liberal outposts here and there Middle America did NOT vote for Øbama and will never embrace the shame of relief and assistance.

Build on what we have. Redouble the effort to reach out to Hispanics with a clear, concise message about free enterprise and social conservatism (the Libre Initiative is working on this right now)

All this handwringing is to convince itself that the Republican "brand" is not "conservative". The Republican election pros insist the dogs won´t eat the conservative food, and thus refuse to feed them any as proof.

Sorry, but this nation, and the Republican Party as a viable second party, both died on 11-6-2012.

As soon as NØbama gets 20,000,000+ illegal aliens instant citizenship, and they all register as Demon-RAT voters to thank their beloved President NØbama, BAM, there won´t be a single red state left in this union.

We instantly go from 50% of all US citizens on some sort of government assistance to 75% of all US citizens getting cool ´´free stuff´´ (or should I say ´´liberte material´´ for all those 20,000,000+ new citizens who probably won´t bother to learn English) from their beloved Demon-RAT representatives.

The 25% of us that are left that still believe in hard work, liberty and freedom, are going to be a quckly extinct breed.

We needed to panic in 2008 and work like there was no tomorrow in 2012 if we didn´t. Well, we didn´t. Evil won, and we are through. 236 years was a good run...

While I don´t share quite the level of pessimism with #15, he makes a valid point. I am quite tired of hearing:

*-Voter fraud cost the election
*-Romney was a bad candidate, or ran a bad campaign.
*-Conservatives stayed home and didn´t vote
*-Obama used technology and got his word out better

None of these are true, and yes, we sound like a bunch of liberals looking for a convenient answer.

The real answer is the simple one--the takers outnumber the producers, and you are not going to win their votes over, EVER.

Do I know the future? No, I don´t. But now IS the time to panic. No IS the time to start yelling at your neighbor. Now IS the time, in your social, and work life, to start digging a little deeper into people you know and work with.

They want divisiveness? Why don´t we show them some. Dump your cute girlfriend who believes in abortion and free birth control. She´s not that cute. Seek out vendors that share your values, even if it takes a little bit longer to get to know them. And when you are handing out good advise, business ideas, or just being neighborly, maybe think twice who you are associating with. Here´s a shocker, maybe, just maybe, exclusion isn´t a bad thing, it´s actually a good thing.

Sorry, this last election changed me. I cannot be friends or associates with anyone who voted to ruin this country.

What Tucker doesn´t mention is that, since three Supreme Court justices are over 80, they probably will be replaced under Obama II, by hard-left anti-Constitutionalists.
Time to panic now, Bill?

Kermit Gosnell and the
abortion movement´s dark past
Washington Examiner, by Timothy P. Carney    Original Article
Posted By: Pluperfect- 4/18/2013 6:07:24 AM     Post Reply
Flash back to 1972. Dr. Harvey Karman, a star of the abortion movement, came up with a bold publicity stunt. The 1972 "mass Mother´s Day abortion," as the Chicago Tribune described it, was designed to show that late-term abortions could be easy and safe. The site of this demonstration was the Philadelphia abortion clinic of Dr. Kermit Gosnell. The media was alerted, and television cameras rolled in. Arriving by bus were 18 pregnant women, half of them teenagers, who would undergo a new abortion technique called the "Super Coil." A Los Angeles Times article in April 1972 --

BOSTON -- A law enforcement official briefed on the investigation says a suspect has been taken into custody in the Boston Marathon bombings. The official spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Wednesday. The official was not authorized to divulge details of the investigation. The official says the suspect is expected in federal court in Boston. Law enforcement agencies had earlier pleaded for the public to come forward with photos, videos or any information that might help them solve the twin bombings that killed three people and wounded more than 170 on Monday.

WASHINGTON — The Boston Marathon bombing marked a watershed moment that counterterrorism officials and specialists have dreaded for years: the use of multiple “improvised explosive devices,’’ or IEDs, to inflict mass casualties on US soil. Islamic militant groups routinely have used makeshift bombs — detonated nearly simultaneously — to kill civilian bystanders as well as military personnel from Iraq and Israel to Russia and Afghanistan. But until Monday’s explosions at the finish line in Copley Square, such street-level detonations targeting sidewalk or marketplace crowds had not occurred in the United States. “The sad thing is that finally someone

Authorities on Tuesday revealed little new information about the terrorist attack at the Boston Marathon, the most high-profile bombing on U.S. soil in more than a decade and a tragedy that presents a new test for President Obama. Obama, like all Americans, is standing by, waiting for answers as to who planted two bombs improvised from pressure cookers at the finish line of the storied race, and why. Three Americans were killed in Monday´s attack and more than 170 others were injured. "Anytime bombs are used to target innocent civilians, it is an act of terror," Obama said,

In the Muslim world there were concerns about who might be blamed; in Britain thoughts turned to their own marathon set to take place Sunday. In its aftermath, the Boston Marathon bombings became a global news story, appearing on front pages in places ranging from Argentina to Turkey. Max Fisher of the Washington Post reported Monday afternoon on the fear that spread throughout the Muslim world that a potential bomber might turn out to be someone who practiced the same faith. He pointed attention to Jenan Moussa, a reporter for Al Aan TV based in Dubai.

This one wasn’t supposed to be close. In the weeks leading up to Venezuela’s April 14 presidential election, polls consistently showed Nicolás Maduro with a double-digit lead over Henrique Capriles, the opposition figure who lost to Hugo Chávez by 11 points (55 percent to 44 percent) back in October. Maduro had served as foreign minister under the late populist demagogue; he had been named vice president — and thus designated as Chávez’s successor — after the October election; and he had formally taken over as interim president following his mentor’s death from cancer on March 5. Maduro also enjoyed

An abiding lesson of the Obama Presidency is that no tax increase is ever enough. So it´s not surprising that the President´s new budget includes an increase in the death tax only three months after the last increase. In January Mr. Obama and Republicans agreed to tax estates at 40% with an exemption of $5 million ($10 million for couples). That was an increase from 35% and a $5 million exemption. Now only weeks later he´s again looking for more, as his budget proposes to raise the rate to 45% and reduce the exemption to $3.5 million.

Allies of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) say a series of attacks and ethical complaints leveled against him are part of a coordinated campaign by left-wing activists, political operatives, and journalists to prevent his reelection in 2014. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), a left-wing watchdog group, filed an ethics complaint against McConnell on Thursday, alleging he improperly used Senate resources to support his reelection effort. The charges were based on a recording released earlier in the week by Mother Jones. Allegedly recorded by two members of Democratic Super PAC Progress Kentucky, the tape captured McConnell

L ate Sunday, acting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro declared victory in the country´s first presidential election since the death of longtime leader Hugo Chavez. The national election commission had just released the results, much closer than the polls had foretold: Maduro, 50.66 percent; Henrique Capriles, 49.07 percent. While Maduro was celebrating, Capriles was calling fraud — and tweeting.(Snip for tweet)That message — "We alert the country and the world of the intent to change the will of the people!" — was followed by a speech to supporters. "I want the truth to be known," Capriles said.

A reverse mortgage lender may employ a former GOP senator as corporate pitchman, but there’s no love lost on Capitol Hill. President Barack Obama’s fiscal 2014 Housing and Urban Development budget includes a warning about a nearly $1 billion bailout for the Federal Housing Administration from the Treasury. HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan blamed that deficit squarely on issues with government-insured reverse mortgages, which HUD refers to as Home Equity Conversion Mortgages, or HECMs. That’s an acronym that Susan Collins, R-Maine, conceded she couldn’t really pronounce.

World leaders are moving carefully and anxiously, trying to prevent a disaster in the Korean Peninsula. This increasingly unpredictable round of saber-rattling is far from over, but so far the winner is the North Korean regime and the losers are the brutally oppressed North Korean people, joined by much of the rest of the world. While we watch the drama from far away, it´s worth noting just how far North Korean weapons programs -- not just the weapons themselves -- can reach. U.S. intelligence officials differ on their estimates of the range and accuracy of North Korean missiles,

Protocol: President Obama declined to send a high-level delegation to Wednesday´s funeral of Britain´s Margaret Thatcher. It´s a measure of how little he values the special relationship — and a sign of his own smallness. Back in more gracious times, vice presidents routinely attended funerals of foreign dignitaries. As such, the presence of Vice President Joe Biden — if not Obama himself — would seem fitting for as significant a U.S. ally as the late Prime Minister Thatcher, if not out of warmth of feeling, then simply to represent the U.S.´ gratitude.

Yesterday, the most modest of gun control proposals died in the Senate. It would have expanded background checks to people purchasing weapons at gun shows and online sales, enjoyed 90 per cent support among the public and came on the back of the tragedy at Newtown. Yet, despite all that it had going for it, the Toomey-Manchin bill raised just 54 votes--six short of the number necessary for passage. “This is a pretty shameful day for Washington,” said Obama afterwards. It wasn’t exactly a red letter day for him, either. Why did the no-brainer bill fail? Four reasons:

As we now move into the official Political Aftermath period of the Boston bombing — the period that will determine the long-term legislative fallout of the atrocity — the dynamics of privilege will undoubtedly influence the nation’s collective reaction to the attacks. That’s because privilege tends to determine: 1) which groups are — and are not — collectively denigrated or targeted for the unlawful actions of individuals; and 2) how big and politically game-changing the overall reaction ends up being.

Washington — President Barack Obama says the Senate’s opposition to a bill that would have expanded background checks for gun buyers marks a “shameful day” in Washington. He says a minority of senators decided “it wasn’t worth it” to protect the nation’s children. Obama spoke in the Rose Garden shortly after the Senate vote rejecting a bipartisan effort to expand federal background checks to more firearms buyers. (Snip) The president pinned the blame for the measures failure, though five Democrats also opposed the plan. He also said the gun lobby and its allies “willfully lied” about background check bill.

Mark Kelly, the husband of former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.), is threatening to back an election challenge against Sen.

At a Christian Science Monitor breakfast on Tuesday, Kelly said he would back an opponent to Flake if the "right candidate" was available and if the senator failed to support a background check bill, according to reports. Flake, who is not up for reelection until 2018, has been close to Kelly and Giffords. But Kelly said the issue of control trumped their ties.
