Mitt Romney’s “must-have” VP
Who will be the “ideal” Mitt Romney running mate? Will it be a tea party favorite, someone from a swing state, someone who will offer either gender or racial diversity or both? You can forget all that. It has already been decided by . . . Barack Obama.
The president has made it clear that he is running, not against Mitt Romney, but against Paul Ryan’s budget, which Mr. Romney has embraced. Obama and his minions are making the case that if Mr. Romney is smart he will do his best to distance himself from Ryan’s “heartless” approach. Furthermore, they warn that Romney’s biggest mistake would be to make the chairman of the House Budget Committee his running mate.
As in Hamlet, methinks they do protest too much! What they really fear, is a Romney – Ryan ticket. It would be the Democrats’ worst nightmare! Read the rest of this entry »
No Laughing Matter
President Obama is trying to shore up the youth vote, one of his most reliable voting blocs in the 2008 election. He is visiting colleges campuses in swing states and appeared with late night comedy host Jimmy Fallon in the wee hours Wednesday.
There isn’t as much laughter now from the college set and just being a cool dude who loves basketball isn’t going to be enough to impress the 18-29 crowd this time around. Many of those voters have grown too weary looking for work to be swayed by his youthful appearance or empty promises about “hope and change” because most have neither. Read the rest of this entry »
John Boehner is a Hypocrite!
How can you tell if a politician is lying? If his (or her) lips are moving. So goes one of the oldest political jokes. It would not be funny if it were not true.
Barack Obama wants a socialist nanny state. He believes that the government should take care of our every need. Furthermore, he wants the government to define those needs. In order to fund the nanny state, he must redistribute the wealth in the country.
For those who were not paying attention during the 2008 presidential election, Obama campaigned on what he termed “economic fairness” and “social justice.” To the uninitiated, these words may sound benign, but those terms are right out of the play book of Karl Marx. Read the rest of this entry »
The Unwanted Christmas Gift
Ronald Reagan correctly stated that the nine most terrifying words in the English language are “I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”
The very last thing we need is a new government agency micromanaging the financial decisions of banks, businesses and individuals. We already have seven powerful entities tasked with the oversight of the banking, lending and investment industries.
We have the Federal Reserve. We have the Comptroller of the Currency. We have the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. We have the Securities and Exchange Commission. We have the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. We have the National Credit Union Administration and the Federal Housing Finance Agency. They have done such a wonderful job. Just look at the mess we’re in!
Now, the Obama Administration and the Democrats have given us a new, onerous, unaccountable regulatory agency with virtually unlimited power to control all of our money that isn’t hidden under a rock somewhere. It’s called the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. If you are the least bit familiar with Washington, the name alone is enough to leave you shaking in your boots. Read the rest of this entry »
Bribery!
What is your price, the price you would take to sell out your country? What price would you take to sell out your children? What price would you take to sell out your grandmother?
Would you sell out your country for a million dollars, a billion perhaps? What is the freedom that you now enjoy really worth? If you had a cool billion in your pocket, would you be willing to take your chances in another part of the world, under a dictator perhaps?
What about the future of your children? Okay, I will admit to considering this question on one of their really bad days, but let’s be serious. Most of us wouldn’t take a billion to trash the future of our own flesh and blood. And Granny? You’ve got to be kidding!
Nevertheless, President Barack Obama, most Democrats and, sadly, many Republican leaders think you are willing to sell out your country, your kids and Granny for a mere thousand bucks.
