19. July 2011

Devastating. Gallup has “Generic Republican” up by 8 points. Rasmussen has Obama down by 6. Meanwhile, Mitt Romney ties Obama in blue state Pennsylvania and leads Obama in typically-deep blue state Michigan. Oh, and Romney leads Obama in Iowa by three points. And then there’s his approval rating. Barack Obama’s approval in Florida is now [...]

Dan Mitchell reviews the “Gang of Six” debt ceiling plan. Mitchell notes good aspects of the plan including: tax cuts across the board, repeal of the alternative minimum tax (AMT), repeal of the CLASS Act, and elimination of the health care exclusion. But there’s also plenty of bad. For starters, Mitchell notes, the plan doesn’t [...]

Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney holds a wide lead in a new national poll of the Republican primary race. A poll from NBC/Wall Street Journal shows Romney in first place with 30%.

Obama Backs Pro-Gay Marriage Legislation

19. July 2011

President Barack Obama, who has for years promised voters he opposes gay marriage, will support legislation that forces the federal government to recognize gay marriage. The bill effectively redefines marriage. White House Press Secretary Jay Carney says Obama opposes the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, which protected states from being forced to recognize gay marriage. [...]

Liberals Pushing for Massive Cuts to National Defense

Washington liberals are pushing both the Congress and the White House to gut national defense spending to levels not seen since the end of the Cold War. Even while the same liberals oppose any attempts to reform welfare, they want the United States to make itself more vulnerable in the face of growing danger. Ignoring [...]

Poll: Republican Frontrunner Leads Obama in Michigan

18. July 2011

If Obama loses Michigan in 2012, he loses the presidency. Period. End of story. He simply can’t win reelection if even the voters of Michigan are looking for a change. Michigan hasn’t voted for a Republican since 1988 — 23 years ago. He loses there, he’s done. And yet… The poll showed 46% of likely [...]

NBC Wants Dalai Lama to Help Obama Overcome GOP Opposition

18. July 2011

He dodges the question, saying something about all sides coming together to do what’s best (specifics unmentioned) for the country. Good on him. But this is epic shilling by NBC’s Ann Curry. She doesn’t ask how all sides should come together. She asks how Obama could work with Republican opponents. In other words, she asks [...]

Liberals are starting to celebrate reports that Rupert Murdoch may step down as chief executive officer (CEO) of News Corp. The reports actually say that no final decision has been made and that any move will depend upon Murdoch’s performance before British parliament. But hold off those celebrations, libs. Everything’s not as chipper as you’d [...]

Steve Wynn, chief executive officer of Wynn Resorts (Wynn, Encore, Bellagio, amongst others), has unloaded on Barack Obama’s anti-business policies. It’s a must-read. I believe in Las Vegas. I think its best days are ahead of it. But I’m afraid to do anything in the current political environment in the United States. You watch television [...]

FreedomWorks Endorses Adam Hasner in Florida

18. July 2011

0 Comments

Conservative activist group FreedomWorks has endorsed conservative candidate Adam Hasner in the 2012 Florida senate race. It’s a big catch for Hasner, who has modeled his campaign on that of Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL). Hasner is challenging longtime incumbent and tax-and-spend liberal Bill Nelson, who has drawn ire from Floridians for his support of ObamaCare [...]
