ANSWER THE QUESTION…YES OR NO!!!

During a presidential election year, there is one pressing question which must be answered. Especially if you are the incumbent.

Reagan was the first to pose the question and, in the closing months of the 1980 election, the answer propelled him to the white house over Jimmy Carter.

Today, that same question is being asked and the answers from the incumbent’s party are…

Astonishing.

Are you better off than you were 4 years ago?

It’s a simple question.

It’s a question which requires a one word answer.

Are you better off then you were 4 years ago?

Yes or…No?

Well, at least it seems like a straight forward question.

Early this morning, in an interview, Gretchen Carlson posed that question to Minneapolis Mayor Archie Ryback.

Rybacks response was stunningly confusing.

Weekend Edition: Politics and Social or, Anti Social Media

Over The last few years, one thing has had a most definite impact on politics.

The Tea Party?

Well, yes but…

Obama’s ideology of division?

Well…yes, but…

There is something else. Something bigger than ideologies and bigger than a candidate or a political movement.

It’s social media.

Social media has changed the way we view, discuss and relate to politics.

I’m not just talking about Breitbart although, he did do more to bring social media to the forefront of politics than any other thousand people I know and while his personal impact was too short lived, his residual impact will continue to reverberate and shape the future forever.

I’m talking about garden variety social media and the people who utilize it in the most basic way.

Facebook and Twitter have provided a way to broadcast individual views like never before and just like politics…Social media can bring out the best, and worst in people.

We, as individuals, are able to share our thoughts, ideas, comments, images and yes, our blogs and websites with THOUSANDS of people and it’s real time, live and at times, overpowering.

Think about it. We have watched social media organize uprisings in Egypt, Iran, Syria and in Libya, we watched images and videos of the demise of Gaddafi just moments after he was killed.

Friday Fume

Well, we did it. We made it through another week and what a week it was.

While all eyes were focused on the Convention, mine included, the crazy train rolled on, packed with liberal fools, headed straight over the cliff.

Shining examples of liberal loose marbles were everywhere.

Let the games begin!!!

It’s Friday my friends and…

I’m fuming.

Well…ONE thing is crystal clear. MSNBC stands for Main Stream National Bigot Conspiracy!!!!

After accusing anything, everything and everybody conservative of being racists…MSNBC, during the Republican Convention refused to air minority conservative speakers!!!

Leading the way down the rabbit hole was Chris Matthews.

Here is how I believe a breakfast meeting between Matthews and I would go:

The Tea Party Effect at the Convention

With one night to go…It’s already been quite a Convention.

So far, Republicans have been showcasing the differences between  the Romney/Ryan ticket and the Obama administration’s ideology.

As it turns out, liberal/socialist loons have been all too happy to help.

It started even before the Convention with Chris Matthews yelling at Priebus about how Romney is a racist because he mentioned his OWN birth certificate and place of birth.

Then, there were the Code Pinko whackos dressed up like women’s reproductive organs.

Now, as the Convention has progressed, the bats are most certainly out of the belfry.

On the first night of speeches, the race baiting MSNBC decided NOT to show speeches made by conservatives who, just happened to be, minorities. This of course means that in the goo filled minds of liberals in control of MSNBC…If we don’t SHOW minorities speaking…They don’t exist.

This of course follows the 3 year old trick of closing one’s eyes and hence, being invisible.

Liberals in Full-On Meltdown Mode

There are a few things from the start of the Republican National Convention which should surprise nobody.

First, we had Chuck Todd from the Obama propaganda wing known as NBC, stating that, “There are folks with the Romney campaign who think, ‘Boy, Romney can’t catch a break ever since he named Paul Ryan. He got a little momentum after the Ryan pick and then he’s disrupted by two storms. One, a political storm in Todd Akin which we just brought up. But now an actual storm, and when you think when this storm moves to and closer to Louisiana, the specter, the sort of shadow of Bush and Katrina does hang over this convention.

Seriously? THIS is where the liberal media wants to go?

If there is ANY specter or shadow of Katrina it casts itself directly over liberals.

Louisiana had a liberal governor who did NOTHING in the face of the COMING storm and woefully dropped the ball in its wake. The liberal media has, since Katrina, blamed Bush for not sending in the National Guard to evacuate people when, in fact, it would have been illegal to do so without the request of the state’s Governor. She failed to make that request.

It was also the prevue of New Orleans’ Mayor, another liberal, who fled the city for higher ground…IN DALLAS.

And let’s not even get started on the 10s of MILLIONS of dollars given to New Orleans to shore up their levies over the decades which decades of liberal officials spent elsewhere.

Obama’s Lies Unchallenged by Press

There was no zip. No razzle dazzle.

There was no bounce in his step or in his voice.

Clearly, he didn’t want to be there and who could blame him? The last time he did something like this, his words came back to haunt him and immediately so.

“The private sector’s doin’ fine.”

Nonetheless, just minutes into the daily press briefing, while Jay Carney was trying to weasel out of another round of questions, through the door and onto the platform he came.

“I’m told you’ve been missin’ me.”

It was remarkable. Truly remarkable.

Obama, yesterday, after being shamed into it by members of the white house press corps, took questions from reporters for the first time in 8 weeks.

Truly remarkable the number of lies which can be told in a few brief minutes.

Asked about negative campaigning, Obama responded:

Obama to Biden: “Oh…Cabin Boy…”

America now has a choice.

Romney/Ryan or Obama/Biden.

The former stands for everything the latter doesn’t and liberal/socialists know it.

Yesterday, I predicted the liberal/socialist response and it wasn’t hard to see coming. Liberals are scared and they’re trying to do everything they can to fake glee over the announcement that Paul Ryan is the VP choice.

It became very obvious very quickly that the pre-approved liberal talking points went out in a hurry and equally clear that liberal pundits had been sweating it out waiting on those emails.

One by one, each repeated the exact same line. Word for word.

“The Paul Ryan plan will end Medicare as we know it.”

Interview after interview, pundit after pundit, the liberal/socialist line was repeated over and over again.

“The Paul Ryan plan will end Medicare as we know it.”

You’re darn right it will and what liberal/socialists don’t want you to know is exactly what Paul Ryan DOES know…

If we don’t end Medicare…”AS WE KNOW IT…” it will come to an end altogether.

Friday Fume

And so, we’ve all survived another week. It’s been a long week of liberal lies and insanity but the more they talk, the deeper the hole they’re digging themselves into.

It seems that, more and more, all we have to do to counter their inane behavior is use their own words!!

Let’s all sit back, take a deep breath, grab a beverage and have at it!!!

It’s FRIDAY my friends and…

I’m fuming.

If you were to ask the Emperor if HE knows the definition of the word, “Truth” he would most likely tell you that he does.

That would, of course, be a lie.

There he was, the Lyin’ King, spewing forth another load of bull in Mansfield Ohio when he stated, with great certainty…

“And you do not have to take my word for it. (Fat chance…) Just today, an independent, non-partisan organization ran all the numbers on Governor Romney’s plan. This wasn’t my staff. This wasn’t something we did. Independent group, ran the numbers.”

He was…LYING!!!

He was referring to, “On The Distributional Effects Of Base-Broadening Income Tax Reform,” which, in and of itself is a pack of lies.

Ya see…That “study” was written by…Samuel Brown, William Gale, and Adam Looney….OKAY?

Obama…STFU You Lying Sack of CRAP

So desperate is the liberal press to demonize conservatives that they will, as Rahm Emanuel so famously put it, “Never let a crisis go to waste.”

They continue to fall on their collective faces in the process.

It really started with the advent of the Tea Party movement.

Labels like “Astroturf” didn’t stick so, liberals tried a more demonizing approach by attempting to slap labels like, “angry mobs” “insane” “violent” “racist” and others on the Tea Party faithful.

All those labels were manufactured and false.

Try as they may, liberals just couldn’t make the labels stick because the actions, the demeanor, the nature and the principles of conservatives just kept proving them wrong.

Then came the horrible happenings in Tucson Arizona back in January 2011.

That’s when Congresswoman Gabby Giffords was shot along with many others and 6 people, including a 9 year old girl were killed.

Instantly, the liberal media jumped all over the crisis, not wanting to let it go to waste and they, as fast as they could, labeled Jerod Laughner as a right wing extremist who was prompted into his horrific actions by Sarah Palin.

Wrong again.

Laughner had not a hint of a tie to any conservative organization nor to Sarah Palin in any way, shape or form.

No matter. The left and their media are would not be swayed from their chosen but, clearly false path.

Along came the tragic event in Aurora Colorado.

Cokie Plays the Race Card…GO FISH!!!

In What can only be described as a desperate attempt to brand the 2012 election as racist and/or to keep some hope of racial division alive, yesterday, Cokie Roberts made a bazaar statement on NPR.

“You remember well the Reagan Democrats, those ethnic white voters who had been Democrats for many years, turned out for Ronald Reagan and have been fairly predictable Republicans since then Now, it’s a smaller percentage of the population, of the voting population than it used to be, but white voters are still much more Republican than any other group in the electorate. 

“They went for McCain in 2008 by 55 percent, and I think that, you know, getting those ethnic voters excited is really what Romney has in mind here. It’s more for the folks at home, the descendants of the people that he will be speaking to in Poland.”

So…Cokie is saying that the only reason Romney went to Poland and gave a speech was to excite…”WHITE ETHNIC VOTERS.”

I   HAVE A VERY SIMPLE QUESTION FOR Cokie Roberts:
