Palin gets tough in her fight against the Marxist Misfits who use the media to win elections

mm



Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) said that she expects Tuesday's election to be a "political earthquake" and that the message voters will deliver is that the left and President Obama "blew it." Asked whether Republicans should compromise on principle after they get elected, Palin responded, "absolutely not," adding that "that's been part of the problem." Palin also defended her endorsements of marketing consultant Christine O'Donnell (R) in the Delaware Senate race and attorney Joe Miller (R) in the Alaska Senate race. She called Rep. Mike Castle (R) a "RINO" who is "pro-cap-and-tax" and "wishy-washy on Obamacare," and accused some in the Alaska media of being "corrupt bastards" who are conspiring to portray Miller negatively. "CBS reporters are on tape saying, 'Let's find a child molester in the crowd that supports Miller," she said, adding that she "can't wait" to air the tape. Palin also reiterated that she will decide on a potential 2012 presidential run "after discussing it with my family and just checking out the lay of the land."

Solutions Conservatives need to pursue

October 29, 2010 | By Bethany Murphy From our mail box to you - editor/Midknightmail1@aol.com

Solutions for Conservatives

As Election Day fast approaches, political prognosticators say a big conservative wave is about to wash over the nation, sending new lawmakers with fresh ideas to Washington. Whether they win or lose next week, conservatives must be armed and ready to win upcoming policy battles. And The Heritage Foundation has just the tools they need.

Heritage experts have identified 23 policy areas of concern for candidates and Americans, Solutions for America. This guide offers clear policy recommendations on today’s most important issues. These recommendations include:

  • Federal Spending. Government spending is out of control—so much so that a new political movement, the tea party, has sprung up to rein it in. America has a spending problem, and Heritage has a solution. The majority of our spending growth is on entitlement programs such as Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid—to say nothing of Obamacare—and Heritage has created a series of recommendations that the new Congress should enact in order to correct the out of control spending that will tack on an additional trillion dollars to our national debt in the next decade.
  • Health Care. Heritage urges a total and immediate repeal of Obamacare, and this needs to be a top priority for the new Congress. But Congress shouldn’t stop there: Heritage supports free market solutions (link in PDF) as opposed to a big government takeover of one-sixth of the nation’s economy.
  • Government Regulations. The amount of government regulation in the past year has been unprecedented, costing taxpayers an additional $26.5 billion in 2010 alone. These costs will affect Americans in many ways. It will raise the price of the cars they buy and the food they eat, for example, while destroying an untold number of jobs. Worse, the amount of red tape is set to rise in the coming year. Congress must keep in mind that the more regulations placed on Americans, the more they are restricting their freedoms.

All of these recommendations have one thing in common – reducing the federal government’s involvement in our everyday lives. Despite what Vice President Biden might believe, this country was built because of the ingenuity, hard work, and risk-taking of enterprising Americans. This country did not become the greatest in the world through government handouts and wealth redistribution. The laws of free market capitalism created the world’s only superpower. We can only remain so if we continue to honor the founding principles that make our nation exceptional among all others.

Even FiveThirtyEight gives Obama as big a defeat as has been recorded in modern presidential history.

FiveThirtyEight averages out more than 100,000 simulations and came up with these conclusions:


Updated . .
Democrats . . Republicans
Senate . Oct. 30 51.7
48.3
House . .Oct. 30 202.6 232.4
Governor . .Oct. 30 19.1 30.1


In the above compilation, the Senate remains controlled by the Marxist Dems but with only a 2 vote majority. Chuckie Schumer, one of the most disgusting Marxist Libs of all time will be Speaker of the House. Nothing will get done in the Senate if Mr. "I am not going to tolerate the opposition" Obama can't bring himself to tolerate the opposition. We happen to agree with the Senate totals favoring the Dems.

Regarding the House, we believe that 232 is a surprising high total for the GOP coming from the Leftist firm, FiveThirtyEight. Understand that 232 (for the GOP) is up from their minority status of 176 representatives. FiveThirtyEight sees an overall gain for the GOP of 56 seats.

What does not get a lot of press are the gubernatorial contests. Currently, the Dems hold a 3 seat advantage. After this midterm, the GOP may hold a 12 to 16 seat advantage going into the 2012 presidential election, a serious predictor for the 2012 election.

Pictures and Headlines tell it all. Colbert and Stewart personify "symbol over substance" in useless gathering of the foul mouthed.


WTF?! Islamofascist at the Rally to Restore Sanity?!

Signs at Stewart/Colbert rally show Republicans with Hitler mustaches...

Rally Sign: 'I masturbate to Christine O'Donnell'...

SEND IN THE CLOWNS...

Midknight Review points the Daily Kos in the right direction.

In the Internet world of Marxist/Socialist review, there is one calling itself The Dailey Kos. Kos is a committed radicalized Lefty who has separated himself from the rest of the herd in terms of popularity but not in terms of rhetorical strategy. In other words, the Daily Kos is popular while using the same tiresome chatter. Just days before the election, Kos continues to cast blame for the mess we are in upon George W Bush. He apparently wants you to believe that we should count Obama's policies only to the degree that they have worked. Most convenient; if the strategy works, give credit to Obama; if it doesn't work, blame Bush. Its been two years. To argue that it "is Bush's fault" is to argue, at the same time, for the failure of the Obama Plan. Look, if Obama's plan was working, there would be no need to bring Bush into the discussion, would there ?!

And the strategy is backfiring. In a recent poll, Doug Schoen, a well known Democrat pollster, found that Bush scored higher in popularity than Obama to the tune of 48% - 43% !!! And it is rhetorical tripe such as the following that is losing the debate for the Left. Here are four points Kos sets before his non-critical readership

From the Daily Kos:
  1. In 2008, we lost an average of 317,250 private sector jobs per month. In 2010, we have gained an average of 95,888 private sector jobs per month. (Source) That's a difference of nearly five million jobs between Bush's last year in office and President Obama's second year.
  1. In FY2009, which began on September 1, 2008 and represents the Bush Administration's final budget, the budget deficit was $1.416 trillion. In FY2010, the first budget of the Obama Administration, the budget deficit was $1.291 trillion, a decline of $125 billion. ( Source) Yes, that means President Obama has cut the deficit -- there's a long way to go, but we're in better shape now than we were under Bush and the GOP.
  1. On Bush's final day in office, the Dow, NASDAQ, and S&P 500 closed at 7,949, 1,440, and 805, respectively. Today, as of 10:15AM Pacific, they are at 11,108, 2,512, and 1,183. That means since President Obama took office, the Dow, NASDAQ, and S&P 500 have increased 40%, 74%, and 47%, respectively.
  1. The Republican Party, whose candidate for speaker, John Boehner, will campaign with Nazi re-enactor Rich Iott this weekend. If you need an explanation why this is offensive, you are a lost cause.
With regard to point one, no credit is giving to Bush for the economic handling of the aftermath of 9/11. the Kos wants you miss the point that the Bush recovery was the second strongest in history, celebrating 52 consecutive months of increasing GDP, a record period of growth. Worker productivity averaged 2.6% growth for all of the Bush 8 year term compared to 2.0 for Clinton and 1.6 for Reagan. The notion that Bush created no jobs while Obama has created millions borders on stupidity. Every month, under Bush as under Obama, more than 100,000 Americans came into the job force, yet unemployment averaged 5.2% including the 2008 recession. That average is impossible if jobs are not being created to accommodate the monthly growth issues. Besides, if Obama saved 3.5 million jobs by doing next to nothing, Bush must have created or saved 25 million using the same standards to give Obama his "saved or created" fantasy numbers.

A second concern is the claim of 1.4 trillion in deficit spending for Bush's last year. What is not mentioned by this Leftist article is the fact that in the 1.4 trillion number is the $700 billion TARP expenditure, a bill written and approved by Nancy Pelosi's House of Representative and enthusiastically approved by Mr. Obama, himself. Obama is as responsible for TARP spending as Bush. In fact, 24 trillion has been run through the back side of that legislation and Obama has worked to have the bill extended. Soooo, why is Obama blaming Bush for TARP when he, Obama, thinks TARP is a good thing and continues to use its funds ??

The Kos article makes a silly point with its #3. Of course the Dow was down. Its called "recession." Kos wants folks to forget that Obama has demonized Wall Street throughout his presidency in waging his class warfare strategy (its a Marxist thingy). Bloomberg took a survey in December of 2009 and found that 77% of Wall Street executives believed that Obama was anti-business. That opinion has not changed. That opinion was based upon fact. Wall Street healed itself with NO HELP FROM THE PROFIT HATING, ANTI-CORPORATE Marxists within the current Administration.

The Nazi thing? We always say, Better to be a "Nazi" in historical re-enactment than a Marxist disguised as a pro-America, mainstream blogger.

Democrats continue the lie that they have no money.

Did you know that Big Labor has spent more than one billion dollars in this election cycle, so let's stop talking about how disadvantaged the Democrats are in this midterm season. Understand that in that one billion are millions of dollars from unknown sources. It is all a part of record collection for the Democrats.

If you don't like Palin and O'Donnell, this will scare the daylights out of you.

Monmouth University did a survey two weeks ago in which they posted a 19 point lead for Chris Coons over Christine O'Donnell. She has been running behind by double digits for weeks and has showed no sign of rescuing her candidacy for Senator out of Delaware. The GOP has given her little help and Marxist Misfits such as Bill "I'm so funny" Mahar have described her in the lowest of terms.

For conservative pundits such as this editor, the O'Donnell candidacy looked manifestly hopeless except for one little thing: Obama has scheduled his third visit to Delaware, Biden has been there twice and Pelosi has made a visit. Understand that this election is "in the bag."

So why all the attention?

Today, we were given a little insight into what is really going on.

The Monmouth poll report released this morning, shows O'Donnell closing fast, from 19 two weeks ago to a 10 point deficit today or 51% for Coons to 41% for the Republican. To make matters worse (for the Dems) is the fact that she has a solid lead of 49% to 43% in the south state (Kent and Sussex counties). More than this, Independents are breaking for O'Donnell 45% to 42% for the first time during the campaign.

Understand that there are two factors in addition to actual polling numbers: trends and turnouts.

The general polling wisdom has "turnout demographics" set at 56% to 38% in favor of the GOP. We are talking about turnout percentages of the total partisan vote. On average, this means that a Republican running behind but within the "margin of error" would win a typical race.

And here is more disturbing news for the Dems: women who went with the Obama/Dems by 8% in 2008 now are polling at 20% for the GOP. 6% of Blacks will sit this election out because of disappointment. 23% of Hispanics believe that Obama did not keep his promise of comprehensive immigration reform, something he could have delivered without GOP cooperation at all, kind of like what he did with ObamaCare. Ditto for Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Instead of keeping promises when he could not be refused, he wasted his political capitol on on a bill that is sill not fully written.

Point of post: we know it is too much to hope for but Christine is closing in or Coons, just as she did during the GOP primaries. Obama and company know full well that O'Donnell was 21 points behind in the GOP primary and yet she won running away from the GOP Establishment candidate.

David Brooks, a so-called "moderate," has five suggestions for Obama. We only have one.

David Brooks's Op-Ed column in The New York Times started in September 2003. He has been a senior editor at The Weekly Standard, a contributing editor at Newsweek and the Atlantic Monthly, and he is currently a commentator on "The Newshour with Jim Lehrer." Brooks is considered to be a moderate by many in political circles. An appropriate question would be, "A moderate what?" This is a question we would ask of any so-called "moderate." The term suggests a non-position, politically, and, for this editor, that is not only unacceptable, it is unbelievable. No one is without "position."

From a NY Times Op-ed
David Brooks on Point
J David Smithson with Counter Point

First, the president is going to have to win back independents. . . . Obama will win 99.9 percent of the liberal vote in 2012, and in a presidential year, liberal turnout will surely be high. . . .

Note: depress ctrl and tap on the "+" key to enlarge printed text.

Understand that In dependents despise uncompromising rhetoric and tough guy language and conduct. Phrases such as , "I am not going to tolerate such and such" may have fired up his Leftist base but it is a turn-off to Independents. ". . . so I know whose ass to kick . . " is another high profile bit of conversation, uttered on national television. If he continues with such rhetoric, he will not reel the Independent vote back in. They already have their opinion of Obama. Each and every threatening phrase will drive them further away. Also, Independents are not ideologues. Independents want things done and done fairly. Perception, their perception, is as important as what is actually accomplished. The problem with Obama is that he sees Independents as weak and ideologically problematic.

Second, Obama needs to redefine his identity. . . . . . Obama came to be defined by his emergency responses to the fiscal crisis — by the things he had to do, not by the things he wanted to do. Then he got defined as an orthodox, big government liberal who lacks deep roots in American culture.

Obama is a student of Saul Alinsky. We have pictures of him teaching "Rule of Radicals" in college. He cherishes "crisis" because such is a critical to his methology. Brooks is wrong in that Obama's "responses" was not limited to fiscal crisis. He used the Gulf oil crisis to shut done production the Gulf. He continues his victory over "big oil" with a full throated regulatory process that has effectively shut down production in the Gulf region. His assault on the banking industry was viewed in terms of a crisis. The FinRig legislation was his response to that. TARP was sold to use in terms of crisis. Turns out that trillions were funneled through the loop holes created by a Pelosi lead Congress, the original allocation was never actually spent. Stimulus was Obama's answer to the continuing jobs crisis but only 3% of the allocation. Brooks misses the point. Obama uses crisis to foster agenda. Our problem is that no one really knows his agenda.

Over the next two years, Obama will have to show that he is a traditionalist on social matters and a center-left pragmatist on political ones. . . .

Laughable. No ones, absolutely no one sees Obama as either traditional or a traditionalist. If this is the heart of solution, it is end of Obama's hope to regroup.

Third, Obama will need to respond to the nation’s fear of decline. . . . Obama will have to propose policies that re-establish the link between effort and reward.

Obama has spent much of his adult life (the part that we know about) challenging the American edthic and the Doctrine of American Exceptionalism. It is systemic to his very person. He has become an angry black man on the plane of Jeremiah Wright. He has had 22 years of anti-tradition ground into his soul.

Fourth, Obama has to build an institutional structure to support a more moderate approach. . . .

He has his structure. It is the community organization that is his base. He knows that this is new to the political scene and that is why he will not give up on it's use. He just needs more time. That is what he believes. There is no "institutional structure" other than his "organization"and the current liberal conclave with its support systems. Obama is not in control of the latter. He created the former.

Liberals already have institutions. To be a center-left leader, Obama will have to mobilize independent institutions as well. These don’t exist in Washington, but they do around the nation. Civic organizations, local business groups and municipal leagues run from Orlando to Kansas City to Seattle. These groups are filled with local leaders who lobby for balanced budgets, infrastructure plans and other worthy causes. . . . YOU WILL NEED TO READ THE FULL ARTICLE >>>>

That last phrase, "These groups are filled with local leaders who lobby for balanced budgets, infrastructure plans and other worthy causes," these have nothing to do with Obama's ideology. Keynesian macroeconomics has little to do with balanced budgets. Infrastructure repair is for union participation only.

There will be no change in Obama of the nature described by Mr. Brooks. why? Because Obama cannot move beyond himself. He is what he is. He sold his party into a 40 year decline. He will do the same for himself. Such is the nature of an ideologue.

Brooks five points make for great theory. Our formula for success is quite different. We suggest that Obama quite now, before the investigations begin. Yes, Biden would be president but that should be fine. Right? I mean, the Dems chose Biben as VP.

Geeeeeeesh

Bush versus Obama ?? Bush wins 48% to 42%

According to pollster Doug Schoen, whose new poll shows vast support for the Tea Party movement among voters, the president is still liked by about half the nation. In fact, more like him personally than like his policies. Some 48 percent think he’s a nice guy, while just 42 percent approve of his job performance.

But that personal favorability doesn’t translate into re-election support when voters are asked if Obama deserves a second term. Says Schoen: “Despite voters feelings toward Obama personally, 56 percent say he does not deserve to be re-elected, while 38 percent say he does deserve to be re-elected president.” Worse, Schoen adds, “43 percent say that Barack Obama has been a better president than George W. Bush, while 48 percent say Bush was a better president than Obama has been.” READ THE FULL STORY AT US NEWS & WORLD REPORT >>>>>>

Bill, Charlie, Meek and the White House caught in shady deal making (?)

Charlie Crist, Bill Clinton and Kendrick Meek have apparently conspired to defeat Marco Rubio. Now that the genie is out of the bottle, Meek is denying a deal to quit the Florida Senate race; Clinton has "deferred" to Meek rather than risk contradiction and Charlie Crist is saying that Clinton did, indeed, make an offer to Meek, encouraging him to quite so that Crist could take his votes (Meek) on his way to victory over Rubio. Understand that Clinton reportedly made the proposal to Meek 6 days after Obama had visited Florida in support of Meek.

An aid to Crist broke the story two days ago and since then, the results of this shady deal have grown increasingly negative. Understand that if the Hillary/Bill side show was thinking about a bid for the Democrat nomination for president in the 2012 campaign, Bubba Bill just ruined that strategy.

Understand that this story may effect the gubernatorial race as much as Crist's failing effort to get himself elected. There will be a certain percentage of the electorate who will decide against Democrats in general because of this circumstance.

Keep up the good work, Bubba.

EXPOSED: Memeorandum, a dedicated news portal, accused of violating code of ethics in posting phony news story to do harm to Christine O'Donnell.

Memeorandum is one of four news portals Midknight Review refers to on a daily basis. We actually use more than 20 sources in preparing for our daily publication of 4 to 12 daily stories. Memeorandum functions as a radical Left leaning portal, the only one we know of on the web. How can a "news portal" be radicalized? It just prints headlines and news clips.

Good question and here is our answer. Rather than simply posting headlines without regard to "left or right leanings," as does MyWay and Drudge, Memeorandum scours the Internet and posts Left leaning headline in a ratio to Right leaning of 2 to 1. When a damaging story for the Right is exposed, Memeorandum often leaves the headline posted rather than taking it down -- after all, a discredited story is NOT news except at Memeorandum !

Gawker's story of Christine O'Donnell's wild one night stand has has been fully discredited by The Smoking Gun going on three days ago, yet Memeorandum has left the Gawker story at the top of their scroll-down. The Smoking Gun's headline is on the same scroll and is the final word on this story. No one is running with this story, for obvious reasons, yet Memeorandum continues to leave the story at the top of their page. Here are the two stories. No other portals, left leaning or not, continue to carry the O'Donnell non-story. Gawker is hard left and The Smoking Gun is left leaning.

From Gawker:
I Had a One-Night Stand With Christine O'Donnell
— Three years ago this week, an intoxicated Christine O'Donnell showed up at the apartment of a 25-year-old Philadelphian and ended up spending the night in his bed. Here's his story—and photos—of his escapade with the would-be Delaware senator. . . .

The Smoking Gun:
On The Trail Of “Anonymous,” Christine O'Donnell's Sex-Free Pal — Buster … [UPDATE: TSG has identified the “Anonymous” correspondent who today detailed his purported (sexless) onenight stand with Christine O'Donnell. See bottom of piece.] — Readers of today's first-person account …


More notes: this is how many liberal publications play the game. The exposed deception has gone wild and the ensuing backlash is helping O'Donnell. Hats off to our source sites - liberal AND conservative. A big goose egg to the clowns at Memeorandum . Thanks to the honest libs at The Smoking Gun.

Democrats are the Kings of Collections when it comes to campaign cash. Comments otherwise are nothing but pure nonsense.

We have preserved the hyperlinks in the US News & World Report. What is presented here is a small part of this articles content. It will take you hours to fully research what this World Report has to offer. Our point in this post is to help dispel the fantasy that Big Money is the GOP's strong suit. The fact of the matter is quite different. It is the Dems who are swimming in money, using much of it to buy elections ---- the very thing they charge the GOP of doing. Of the 50 categories named, the GOP out gains the Dems in only 8 of 50 . Understand that this list is not the full story, even as relates to the donor categories on this list. For example, the American Federation of County and State Workers has committed to 84 million dollars (to the Dems) in this midterm election cycle but is not reference at all. In spite of the fact that the donation totals may be "way off," the list has value in the comparisons it admits to --- jds

We now know that Sotomayor was not of the best and brightest. It is just that she is a social reformer.

Tribe to Obama: Sotomayor Is “Not Nearly As Smart As She Seems To Think She Is” — I've obtained a copy of an interesting letter that Harvard law professor Larry Tribe wrote to his protégé, President Barack Obama, in the immediate aftermath of Justice Souter's announcement of his decision to retire from the Court. . . .

Editor's notes: nothing new here. But more than not being the brightest bulb in the in chandelier, she is or was much too willing to misrepresent her legal and political position. Obama was told this very thing before he made her selection official. So why did he continue with her. Because she (Elena Kagan) mirror his views as to the courts and social justice. He sees the courts as a third leg in the socialist transformation of this country.

Point of post: Sotomayor and Kagan ensure that the socialist marxists among us do not lose ground in the High Court. Most of the controversial decisions of the court are determined by a 5-4 vote in favor of either the left or the right. As far as the libs are concerned, the High Court lives to fight another day and for another liberal Administration, perhaps.

For California readers, Midknight Review recommends the following votes:

State Assembly District 31 Brandon Shoemaker against Henry Perea Junior.
State Assembly District 34 Connie Conway
Fresno County Supervisor, district 1 – Phil Larson who is running against an SEIU candidate.
No on Prop 19 This would legalize possession of marijuana. Pill form works just as well, medicinally. This bill only institutionalizes a subculture.
If you are high while driving, this bill has no legal solutions.
Yes Prop 20 Redistricting of Congressional districts by Citizens’ Redistricting Committee rather than by politicians
No Prop 21 The proposition would impose an annual $18 vehicle license surcharge for state parks and wildlife. However, if you are going to vote for tax increase, this would be the one bill we would recommend.
Yes Prop 22 A Yes vote prohibits the state from taking local funds dedicated to local governments, community redevelopment or transportation projects.
Yes Prop 23 Suspends the State’s Cap and Trade Law until the state’s unemployment rate is 5.5% or less. If this bill is defeated, our residential home energy bills will increase by 70% within 3 years. Big Oil is supposedly supporting this bill. But the opposition does not tell you that Big Green is spending millions in its effort to defeat the bill. Understand that for every green job, in Europe, 2 ½ jobs have been lost.
No Prop 24 A No vote allows businesses to retain existing tax breaks
No Prop 25 A No vote retains a 2/3 vote to pass a state budget.
Yes Prop 26 A Yes vote requires a 2/3 vote to increase levies and charges (taxes by other names) rather than a simple majority.
No Prop 27 The proposition would eliminate the state commission on redistricting and would allow politicians to determine district boundaries.

Why is the House race so very important?

In answser to our headline question, we give you this:

First, with victory in either congressional house comes the power to subpoena but in the House of Representatives, there exists the California Republican, Darrel Issa. Representative Issa is the ranking member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. If the House returns to the GOP, Issa's responsibilities will include investigating the Obama Administration as relates to its clandestine use of federal funds to supply ACORN with much needed cash AND federal money used to pay off GM's 6.6 billion dollar debt "5 years early." Understand that the later is most troublesome for Mr. Obama. GM had lost money for 12 consecutive quarters (that's three years) including 4.4 billion in the quarter immediately before GM mysteriously came up with the 6.6 billion. Quantitative easing or just plain graft ???

Secondly, all financial legislation originates in the House. All of it. This is why Pelosi is just as responsible for the national debt as was Bush . . . she approved all of his spending in the last two years of his administration. In fact, she authored those bills !!!!

To a very real degree, "he who controls the purse strings, controls the agenda."

If Obama plans on continuing his tough-guy approach in his pursuit partisan politics, he is about to do so without the support of his team in the House. This rush into a One World Social structure is 5 days away from being brought to an end. Of course, we will have to worry about what this bunch of tyrants will do in the lame duck session, but their time is over --- whether the GOP wins either the House or the Senate.

What we are saying is this: as relates to the advance of pure D socialism, it is over. The GOP can lose BOTH houses of congress and still win the war.


Did you know that Obama's "union of record" is the SEIU ? Its perfect. They support Obama AND count the votes. Damn .

Here is a critical headline that is being ignored by the Lame Stream Media.

Breaking- Obama ties to SEIU and Acorn Deepen | The Freedomist

Sep 17, 2009 ... “I've spent my entire adult life working with SEIU. ... Oh, y'all organize. You wear purple, do you? ... The article says that Obama was well known to have worked with Local SIEU 880 which has SHARED offices with ACORN .

Editor's notes: understand that in most regions of this country, the SEIU is the representative union of county and state employees. Obama has claimed their allegiance for his own purposes and the president of the SEIU until this summer, is a current member of Obama's internal advisory council. While president of SEIU, Any Sterns was called to the White House more than 30 different times . . . . more than any other representative visitor.

SEIU workers gave 44 million to the Obama campaign and are giving millions more in this election. Now, we find out that they are the ones who field complaints with regard to voter machine failures. They are at the center of nearly all voter fraud complaints in California, Illinois, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Nebraska, North Dakota, Colorado and more than 25 other states.

Conclusion: taxpayer financed unions should not be allowed to give to any campaign, whether conservative or liberal.

What should we expect in the closing days of this election cycle? We have the answer and it is based on 40 years of experience.

We give you a warning from Selwyn Duke Don't know who this is? Neither do we BUT the words of his article is critical in answering the question, "What can we expect in the remaining days of this election cycle? "

This editor is 65 years old and has noted the Democrat strategy of organized voter fraud managed in the spirit of "plausible deniability " for 40 years. If character assassination doesn't work and election day is fast approaching, fraud is the only recourse for these folks. Understand that the principles of situation ethics are at the top of the Democrat list as regards "ethics in politics." It is "situation ethics" that allows the Dems to practice the "ends justify means" political dynamic as manifast in voter fraud, counting dead people, and character assassinations.

From the American Thinker

The reports are rolling in from all over the country. A Craven County, NC resident attempts to vote a straight Republican ticket but his choices come up straight Democrat four times, despite receiving assistance from poll workers. In NC's Lenoir County, registered Democrat Ervin Norville also tries to vote straight Republican but finds that his ballot has the names of several Democrat candidates selected. Boulder City, NV resident Joyce Ferrara says that when she and several others went to vote for Sharon Angle, they found that Senator Harry Reid's name was already checked off. In Dallas County, TX' congressional district 30, Democrat Eddie Bernice Johnson's name was the only one on the ballot in a few locations (no, she isn't running unopposed). And some states have been late in mailing out military absentee ballots, whose recipients, interestingly, are known for their Republican leanings.

These happenings are generally referred to as "mistakes" and "glitches," but if that's all they are, then we're witnessing a truly historic anomaly. Because either the mainstream media is now suppressing stories of mistakes and glitches benefitting Republicans, or the laws of probability have suddenly been rescinded and tossed coins are coming up donkey tails every time. Welcome to American elections, Venezuelan style. . . . . READ THE FULL ARTICLE >>>>

********

Point of post: expect to see voter fraud reports dramatically increase. These stories will feature Democrat fraud over GOP fraud by a margin of 12 to 1. The Dems are already seeking to repress the military vote in several locations throughout the nation, a military vote that is split 85 - 15 in favor of the GOP. Understand that battlefield Americans know full well that their lives are being wasted in Afghanistan for the sake of political correctness. Understand that these brave men and women know full well that their Commander in Chief refuses to define "victory" in terms of defeating the enemy. And, now, their vote is being repressed ala the Al Gore campaign in Florida (2000).

More than this, in many regions of this nation (i.e. California, Nevada and Illinois) the extremely partisan service union, the SEIU, is in charge of voter supervision, service "repair" on voter machines, supervision of early voting and counting the mail-in ballot. This is the same union Obama has physically called on to demonstrate at last summer's town hall meetings. He has met with SEIU leaders in the privacy of the White House more than 30 times in recent months and another 40 meetings with leaders of the Socialist AFL-CIO. They weren't just smoking pot, folks. They were talkin' politics - dirty politics.

Here in the Central Valley of California, SEIU county workers are the one's who count the absentee ballots. We are allowed to stand over them as they consider ballot signatures -- something we have not done in the past. But then again, no one knew SEIU was both socialist and in bed with the Democrats.

Midknight Review presents 13 facts about ObamaCare you should remember when voting 5 days from now.

Fact # 1 - If you want protective care such as colonoscopies and mammograms, you have to pay the full annual premium cost up front, at the beginning of each year in addition to your first month's premiums. It is "available to all" but not affordable to all. (9/24/2010)


Fact #2 - all medical devices will be taxed at much higher rates than before Obama, forcing medical costs higher. This is part of the strategy to drive private health care out of business. The alternative? The public option !! Under the Public Option, medical device costs will be dictated by the Federal Government.

Fact #3 - If you as a family making $88,000 annually chooses not to take out insurance, the initial rake of fines will be set at the rate of $695 per family member (including infants) per year. When a family members become seriously ill, perhaps years down the road, you can then choose to enroll into the insurance program. You cannot be refused under the law requiring coverage of pre-existent illnesses.

Fact #4 - Obama and Company added "16 million" to the Medicare rolls while cutting a half trillion dollars of Federal funding out of the program. Before doing this, Medicare has accumulated a mandated but unfunded debt of $37 trillion dollars. Please note that most authorities now say that the total number of folks added to the Medicare rolls is 37 million rather than 16 million.

Fact #5 - Previous to Obama, insurance companies were required by law to pay out 65% of premiums collected back into insurance coverage benefit costs. After Obama, that has been raised to 80%, leaving private insurance with a mere 20% to pay for salaries, bonuses, construction costs, taxes, utility costs and all other overhead items.

Fact #6 - ObamaCare prohibits participating companies from limiting benefit costs for an individual. Companies must, also, accept anyone who seeks coverage.

Fact #7 - According to Morningstar Investment Research, the health insurance industry's

profitability margin was a low 3.45 ranking the insurance industry at 87th out of 215 US industries. Conclusion: the health insurance industry is not the profit monster Obama and the Class Warfare Mongers want you to believe.

updated 10/28/10

Fact # 8 - Beginning January 1, if you have a medical savings account or a Flexible Spending Account , you will have to get a doctor's prescription to buy aspirin, Aleve, Tylenol, cold/flu medicines, hemorrhoid creams, aspiration or inhalant medication, insect repellant for summers in her backyard and Prevacid for an infrequent case of heartburn and 15,000 other medications. Of course, the idea is to drive you out of your medical savings programs and into a full fledged "public option."

Fact #9 - In order to pay for ObamaCare, the Dems are planning on eliminating the homeowner's tax deduction on their mortgage interest. We have a 143,000 loan. This will cost us around $2,000 a year in cold hard cash -- and we are on a fixed income.

Fact #10 - On Jan. 1, the cuts to Medicare Advantage start kicking in -- $140 billion in lost federal funding. This will limit provisions for dental, eye and comprehensive prescription-drug coverage that these policies provide. It is not known how severe these cuts will be.

Fact #11 - The reform law is also designed to push patients and doctors into an HMO-style arrangement, called "Accountable Care Organizations." The cooperating doctors will work for the State, essentially, and the patients will do what they are told to do by the 15 member advisory panel. This all begins in 2014.


Fact #12 - This bill will raise more than $500 BILLION in new taxes by raising payroll taxes, fines to businesses, new investment taxes, fees on medical technology companies. (all medical equipment will be taxed in order to help pay for this monster.


Fact #13 - beginning in 2014, virtually all Americans will be forced to buy insurance or pay a fine.


Critical to this ongoing debate are these words from Governor Palin:


Facebook entryAs more Americans delve into the disturbing details of the nationalized health care plan that the current administration is rushing through Congress, our collective jaw is dropping, and we're saying not just no, but hell no!

The Democrats promise that a government health care system will reduce the cost of health care, but as the economist Thomas Sowell has pointed out, government health care will not reduce the cost; it will simply refuse to pay the cost. And who will suffer the most when they ration care? The sick, the elderly, and the disabled, of course. The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's "death panel" so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their "level of productivity in society," whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil. ...

We must step up and engage in this most crucial debate. Nationalizing our health care system is a point of no return for government interference in the lives of its citizens. If we go down this path, there will be no turning back.
