New Romney Ad Quotes Obama

TAMPA, Florida Barack Obama became president by attacking what have since become his own policies. In 2008, candidate Obama accused John McCain of planning “drastic cuts in Medicare, $882 billion worth.” President Obama has cut $716 billion from MediCare to pay for ObamaCare, as the Mitt Romney campaign reminds voters in a new ad:

‘Repeal Equals Death’

Top Romney adviser Eric Ferhnstrom said, “I don’t think a world champion limbo dancer could get any lower than the Obama campaign right now.” The problem with such a statement is that, just when you think they can’t go any lower, liberals always manage to surprise you, as when Jonathan Alter went on MSNBC and […]

Stephen Kruiser Offers A Manic Take On Politics, And Zen Meditation, But Mostly The Politics

by Smitty I was reminded on Twitter that Stephen Kruiser is The Man, and that prompted me to get this video posted from Saturday. If you only have time for one, take the second, where I give Stephen a pants check and he recognizes me from whenever in the past. The first part is Stephen […]

As Long As We’re Viewing ObamaCare With Integrity, What About Social Security?

by Smitty The main reason I figured the SCOTUS was going to find ObamaCare Constitutional was that punting it could open up challenges to the rest of the Progressive project, e.g. Social Security. Progressivism is antithetical to liberty as we know it. The silver lining crew is attempting to find something good in the Thursday’s whuppin’. […]
