This is the closest I’ve ever seen American Adults match Likely Voters.
I’m curious what all y’all think of the disparity in the responses on this poll. The most puzzling thing to me is the 1% who approve of the job Obama is doing overall, but don’t think he should be reelected!
Other puzzlers …
5% = “I approve of the job he’s doing overall, but think he’s doing badly on my most important issue.”
5% (ish) = “I don’t think Obama should be reelected, but I’d vote for him over (Romney) the only Republican the media hasn’t crucified yet.”
9% (ish) = “I don’t think Obama should be reelected, but I’d vote for him over (Gingrich) the leading (at the time the poll was taken) Republican the media has been crucifying for weeks.”
RE: (ish) = 5% were DK on “should be reelected” vs 7% on “would you vote for.”
The federal government is changing its longstanding definition of “forcible rape” in compiling national crime statistics to include male victims. The new definition has been in the works for several months and was formally announced by the Obama administration on Friday.
Obviously, when you expand the definition of the crime, the incidence of that crime will be higher. But the pre and post definition change numbers are apples and oranges.
Nevertheless, I fully expect to hear Democrats touting the totally expectable increase in rapes as evidence that Republicans are evil.
Heck. Joe Biden doesn’t even bother citing genuine statistics now!
In October 2011, Obama’s vice president stated repeatedly that rapes would increase if the GOP did not pass Obama’s jobs bill.
His rationale was that the jobs bill included money to help local governments avoid layoffs of police officers and he cited an alleged skyrocketing of rapes in Flint, Michigan, after its police force was cut dramatically.
In this video, “Joe Biden Stands By Rape Reference to GOP”, he gets real snarky with a reporter and states emphatically that the facts back him up.
Just a little vanity;I don’t expect anybody will open the link or comment.
Recall I did a commentary in the Thursday Grudge comparing Obama to Yul Brynner in ‘The Ten Commandments.’ John Hindraker writes the Powerline blog and he published this piece today:
I wasn’t going to do a post today,I swear.I read Chrissy’s post and she is spot on.Blogging here is a release of pent-up emotion that would otherwise manifest itself in other,perhaps more destructive ways.I could envision breaking pretzel sticks like they were some liberals’ scrawny neck or kick my dog through a hedge.(I’d have to buy a dog first.)
Like most of you,I don’t waste my time on the liberal propaganda network,but I heard a clip on Don and Roma this morning that had me trembling with rage.First,it was that squinty little turd Alan Colmes mocking Santorum about how he dealt with the grief of losing a child.Last night that vile bastard Eugene Robinson was on the Butch Bitch show sneering about how the Santorums dealt with their child was ‘really weird.’ I just lost it.
Maybe a child dying a few hours after birth is nothing more than a real late term abortion to these liberal mouth-breathers,but each family should be able to deal with it in their own way.He opened his heart at a public meeting and shared his pain and these snarling hyenas pounced like the ravening scavengers they are.
I found one video clip that was 20 minutes long,then found another that is mercifully only two minutes.Watching that much of these two contemptible cretins is cruel and unusual punishment.Before you watch this,make sure you don’t have any sharp objects near.
OBAMA’S BRILLIANT DISARMAMENT STRATEGY
One of the president’s enumerated responsibilities is to “provide for the common defense.”
To this douchebag that means unconditionally surrendering unilaterally to nations that would do us harm.Replace 500,000 flesh and blood warriors with drones so nobody can blame you for US casualties.What are these soldiers going to do for jobs in the economy you’ve effectively destroyed?What happens when North Korea and Iran get nuclear capabilities?When Israel is reduced to rubble and decaying bodies?
You plan to release five Taliban leaders from Gitmo as a condition for the terrorists to go through some sham negotiation to make you look like the Great Conciliator?How about the men whose boots you’re not fit to polish who bled and died to capture these high-value targets?It doesn’t bother you a lick that you’re pissing on their graves? I better stop.My apologies for getting so emotional. http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/287320/america-s-disarmed-future-arthur-herman
DON’T KNOW IF YOU’VE SEEN THIS–FEEL GOOD VIDEO OF THE DAY
Former pro wrestler Jesse ‘the boob’ Ventura commented that the SEALS ‘deserved to die’.Bad move–this guy IS a Navy SEAL and he heard it.
CIA,DOD PROBING WHETHER BIN LADEN SECRETS WERE REVEALED
This is in reference to the movie about killing Bin Laden.The producers were given unprecedented access to classified material by the White House.The film is produced by Sony,the only major studio to hold a fundraiser for Obama and it’s release is scheduled for Oct.9,three weeks before the election.Go figure. http://thehill.com/blogs/floor-action/house/202597-gop-lawmaker-says-dod-cia-investigating-alleged-bin-laden-movie-leak

Don’t plan on posting too much–we’ll see how it goes.
As I drove around this morning,alone with my thoughts as I delivered my papers, I got to thinking about Obama’s naked power grab.The more I thought about it the more he reminded me of Yul Brynner in The Ten Commandments.Both believed they descended from heaven to rule as some sort of god on earth.When the Pharaoh spoke he’d point a finger and say: ‘so let it be written-so let it be done.’ The scribes would scratch his words on parchment and issue his edicts to the unwashed masses who worshipped at the many temples he had built to himself.Notice the similarities?Pharaoh took half the straw from the Israelites and told them their quota of bricks must remain the same.Pharobama takes half of what his subjects have and scolds them for being greedy for not giving more for him to use as he will.
Both caused masses of humankind great hardship and deprivation merely because they felt it was their birthright to do so.The people should be grateful to be ruled by an omnipotent being and willingly sacrifice everything in service to him.
WHITE HUT SEES WIN IN CORDRAY MOVE
Before I saw this article I had it figured out.Pharobama is picking fights intentionally with congress and the senate knowing full well they won’t buy into it.Then he waggles a finger and wails they are a ‘do nothing’ congress.This was his stated plan all along.I recall reading somewhere when he finished his Hawaiian vacation he planned on getting the tax holiday extended for a year then devoting the rest of the year to campaigning for reelection.Maybe someday we’ll have a president who takes time out from running for office to actually do something for the country.
CONGRESS SHUCKS ETHANOL SUBSIDIES,NOT MANDATES
Don Wade talked about this this morning.Congress is patting itself on the back for ending ethanol subsidies.Unfortunately,the use of ethanol in fuel is still required.Soooo since the oil companies have to spend more to produce gasoline,guess who’ll be paying more…a LOT more for gas? http://news.investors.com/Article/596556/201201031827/ethanol-corn-biofuels-alternative-energy.htm
STEVE GREEN(VODKAPUNDIT) DOES HIS YEAR IN REVIEW

CNN DEFINES SANTORUM:RACIST,PAPIST,HOMOPHOBE
Welcome to the big time,Senator.Now bend over and spread your cheeks–the press would like a word or two with you.It doesn’t really matter what you say,they’re going to edit it anyway. http://www.breitbart.tv/cnn-defines-santorum-racist-papist-homophobe/
APPARENTLY GRUDEN DOESN’T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WOMAN AND A WATER BUFFALO
RUSH ALLUDED TO THIS YESTERDAY–SANTORUM SPOKE FOR 20 MINUTES WITHOUT A TELEPROMPTER
NEWT’S NEW AD
Newt got torched for whining about having to sit in the back of Air Force One when he was Speaker.Then he turned everybody off by acting like a petulant child Tuesday.Put a fork in him–he’s done.
THE KRAUT SPEAKS
Sorry for the excessive proselytizing,I had a lot to get off my chest.Hopefully some of the videos will make it worth stopping by for a minute or two.
A NOSTALGIC OBAMA USES WEBCAST TO RALLY HIS IOWA ROOTS
This man’s resentment over not being the center of attention constantly borders on the pathological.Remember he tried to call a joint session of Congress to talk about nothing to interrupt the first Republican debate? He has a sick need to insert himself into every conversation.Too bad there is no substance to him.
NEWT TO RUN FULL PAGE AD AGAINST ROMNEY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
I think Newt truly dislikes Mittens because he’s the only one who can fund himself.40% of the negative ads in Iowa were against Gingrich and paid for by Romney.
According to House rules and that darn Constitution,he can’t do this while Congress is in session.The GOP has been having sessions every third day so they are not legally in recess.That doesn’t matter a whit to this assclown.Won’t do what I want?Screw you,I’ll do it anyway.Try to stop me.
SNUFFLEUPAGUS:ROMNEY’S REASSURING OF CONSERVATIVES WILL ‘TURN OFF’ MODERATES
I was flipping through channels last night and accidentally landed on MSLSD for about 15 seconds. Rev. Tarbaby and Butch Madcow were on the panel. Rev. was chirping about the farther right Romney went the more moderates and independents would be drawn to Bozo. Sorry,Al. That dog won’t hunt. Independents are fleeing the plantation master in droves. Better get your vote fraud machine fired up–you’re gonna need it. http://newsbusters.org/blogs/scott-whitlock/2012/01/04/stephanopoulos-spin-romneys-reassuring-conservatives-will-turn-mod-0
Dear Abby:I really want to know about my family history but I don’t have much money.Any advice?
Abby:Register as a Republican and run for office.
OK:today is the Iowa caucuses.In the grand scheme of things it amounts to exactly zero in my view.Sure,it gives the chattering class something to cluck about for the last month,but there are things going on in the world outside Iowa that have far more importance to us as a nation.
This is one occasion where I totally agree with Barack Obama. Saddling our kids with a back-breaking debt is irresponsible and getting our nation into debt with a foreign power is unpatriotic.
