Breaking News: Liberals Threatening to Leave Country Again; Things Must be Looking Up!

wile_e_coyote

Ten Buck Friday was an astounding success! Thanks for being a part of it! Here’s the election low-down, from Proof-Positive:

We asked you to give of your time, your talent and your treasure to kick Harry Reid’s keister to the curb with eight different Senatorial candidates. Let’s see how well we’ve done as of this AM:

It looks like the GOP will take control of the US Senate in 2015. I fully expect them to pass a budget next year, as required by law, and ignored by Harry Reid and his Merry Band of Pranksters since 2009.

In New Hampshire, Scott Brown apparently lost by 1-2%, but has not conceded as of yet.

In Colorado, Cory Gardner beat Mark Uterus Udall handily.

In North Carolina, Thom Tillis has been declared the winner.

In Arkansas, Tom Cotton won by a substantial margin.

Joni Ernst castrated one more hog in Iowa, becoming the 6th and controlling majority vote in the Senate. (margins may increase between now and January.)

David Perdue took more than 50% of the vote in Georgia, avoiding a runoff. 57% last time I looked

In Alaska, the polls didn’t close until 1 AM Eastern. I will update this in the AM, or at first opportunity.

We fully expected there to be a run off in Louisiana that might not be decided until December. We were right. Bill Cassidy was leading Mary Landfill by 2%

Ten Ugly Facts About the State of our Country that Democrats Want to Hide on Election Day

DONKEY3The first nine (and the graphic) are from the geniuses at Cain TV and Diogenes Middle Finger.  The tenth is from U.S. Government sources and will be of special interest to those of you in military families:

As we all get ready to head to the polls tomorrow, Democrats want you focused on the Koch brothers (that evil fang-toothed fictionalized version, not the real ones who are excellent and highly successful businessmen) and their “war on women” crapola.

What they do not want you focused on is the data that shows what failures they have been leading this nation. Many people do not even know the facts I’m about to share, because the mainstream media do not report them. So read them and share them with nine friends who are going to vote tomorrow. It just might help decide whether Harry Reid remains in control of the Senate or is sent to the back bench where he belongs. (Actually that’s not where he belongs, but I’ll not get into that now.)

Ten facts Democrats do not want to talk about:

1. Sluggish economic growth. Yes, we’ve had a couple of strong quarters, but annualized growth throughout the Obama presidency has been less than 2 percent. That is horrendous.

2. Median income is down $3,000 per household since Obama took office. Astonishing.

3. The labor participation rate is down from 67 percent to 62 percent, which makes the published unemployment rate look much better than it really is. The U6 rate, which includes those who have given up looking for work, remains over 10 percent.

4. More part-time jobs have been created than full-time jobs in last six years.

5. The home ownership rate is down from 67 percent to 64 percent.

6. Taxes went up when the Bush tax cuts were allowed to expire. Liberals will say that’s fine because they only went up on the rich. I say the government did what it too often does and chose to target producers and opportunity creators.

7. ObamaCare is a failure! More people are losing their insurance than are becoming newly insured, and 51 percent of those enrolled in the exchanges say they will not re-up given the opportunity the next time around. Then there are the 29ers (people being limited to 29 hours a week because of ObamaCare mandates) and the 49ers (not the San Francisco ones . . . the businesses intentionally staying under 50 employees to avoid the coverage mandate). There are also thousands of doctors refusing patients with ObamaCare coverage because they can’t cover their costs on the reimbursements, while thousands more doctors are retiring early.

8. The national debt has exceeded $17 trillion for the first time in U.S. history. Remember when Obama declared as a senator that running up debt was unpatriotic? Um. Yeah.

9. From the Middle East to Eastern Europe to Russia to Britain to the Falkland Islands to Latin America to Mexico to the Far East, our foreign policy is a muddled mess. Shockingly to Obama the rest of the world did not conform to his global ideals just because he gave speeches saying they should.

10. Twice as many U.S. military deaths have happened in the Middle East under Obama’s watch in half the time as under President Bush’s.  This happened despite aggressive campaigning by Obama against the war in Iraq, promoting him as the bringer of peace to the region, a foreign policy prodigy and the savior of U.S. service men and women.

Please keep these facts in mind as you vote tomorrow.

  • Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight: 68.5% chance Republicans win the Senate

Bwahahaha! The 10th congressional district of Illinois was gerrymandered by state Democrats to make it virtually impossible for a Republican to win. Veteran political analyst Larry J. Sabato of the University of Virginia just switched his guess for the race between incumbent Democrat Brad Schneider and Republican Bob Dold from “Toss-up” to “Leans Republican.”   http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2014/10/30/Shock-Gerrymandered-Chicago-District-Leans-Republican

Okay, so it’s not all fun and games. There are multiple reports of election machines that switch votes and the Dems have a long history of using absentee ballots and illegals to vote fraudulently. Harry Reid and his cronies spew about the Koch Brothers “buying” elections, while they themselves outspend Republicans by millions. And then there’s this piece of RACIST TRASH, the DNC Comms Director, who REFUSES to denounce the shameful tactics Dems are using in Georgia, Arkansas and North Carolina.

It’s not too late to help! Please make sure you cast your votes by next Tuesday!

Sweaty desperation

Hillary’s mouth is moving again and we all know what that means. Last week, she swore that businesses and corporations don’t create jobs, something so ridiculous, she had “clarify” her remark days later.  Now she’s in Iowa campaigning for Bruce Braley saying that if Jodi Ernst is elected, women will lose access to mammograms, which is only slightly less absurd than the NARAL ad claiming that Cory Gardner will totally ban condoms.

NARAL ad: Cory Gardner will ban condoms

Do these people not know how our government works or do they just think their voter base is that stupid? Oh wait … maybe their voter base is that stupid. That’s depressing. Or maybe they’re just that desperate. As one tweeter said, “The Dems are starting to throw poo….. It’s all they have left.”

In an interview with NBC News, Landrieu threw her whole state under the racist bus: “I’ll be very, very honest with you. The South has not always been the friendliest place for African-Americans. It’s been a difficult time for the president to present himself in a very positive light as a leader.”

It can’t be a color thing, can it?  I mean … Landrieu’s own governor is the same shade of brown that Obama is.  Maybe it’s the kinky hair they hate?  But that wouldn’t be racism.  That would be texturism. Or something.

Bobby Jindal took Landrieu to task and rightly so.

But … good news! There is one guy in the U.S. who is NOT getting his panties in a bunch about the fact that he is definitely NOT going to win any elections next week.

Defying the Democrat Memes

Democrats have long coasted on the idea that Republicans were all rich white guys, so obviously, if you want to support women, minorities and working class stiffs, you should avoid the GOP like Ebola. But here is just one of many congressional races that defies these memes. The Democrat is the rich white guy who met his white wife in law school, while the Republican is a younger, working class stiff whose wife is a naturalized citizen from Colombia. Oops.

Sick of the War on Women crap

This is too good not to pass on …

Bongino family

After a long day of campaigning in the rain I just returned from the grocery store. Diapers are really expensive, as many of you already know.

Why am I telling you about the price of diapers? Because my multimillionaire opponent has spent over $600,000 of his $250,000,000 net worth on television ads attacking me for, get ready for it, a “war on women.”

I’ve tried to let it go, but I won’t any longer. Does this fake know anything about me?

He has no idea how hard my wife and I have to work to pay for little things like diapers for my daughter.

He has no idea how painful it was for me, as a child, to watch my single mother struggle, working at the checkout counter of a local supermarket to never make ends meet.

He has no idea how hard it was for me to witness the ever-present pain in the eyes of my now departed grandmother, who lost her only son in combat in Thu Duc, Vietnam, as she parted with her humble life savings to help us survive and pay the bills.

He has no idea how helpless it felt to watch my wife struggle to keep working, just days after the birth of both our daughters, because we couldn’t afford the time off.

He has no idea because he doesn’t live in the America I live in. His America is one of board memberships and cocktail parties. My America is one of local library memberships and block parties. In his America taxes don’t matter because his massive wealth insulates him from the consequences. In my America, taxes can quickly put you out of your home and your business. Finally, in his America, they falsely use cowardly tactics like fictitious “wars on women” to deceive voters. In my America, my life has been shaped, altered and bettered by the women who made everything I’ve been able to accomplish so far, possible.

I’m now ready with a full tank of emotional energy to finish this fight, he poked the bear. I’m going to win this race.

Lowering the bar

Just when you thought Wendy Davis had hit the bottom rung, another Democrat comes along to lower the bar even further.

Check out the ad Dave Domina just released.  Following the footage of a coma patient wearing a Domina t-shirt, the ad brags that Domina “shows up,” “stands up,” and “makes a difference.” Oy. Remember when liberals claimed that Julie Boonstra, Holly Fisher, and others voicing their opposition to Obamacare were just “Republican props”? At least they were conscious and capable of giving consent.

Mother & Daughter

I wouldn’t have had a problem with the mother talking about her daughter, maybe with a photo of her before the accident or something. But having the girl in the ad AND wearing a campaign t-shirt was just beyond the pale. It reminds me of that time when Obama bragged about a cancer patient who asked to be buried in an Obama t-shirt. He didn’t remember her name, but boy howdy, wasn’t it swell that she lurved him so much? Ick.

Earlier this month, Democratic Nebraska Senate candidate Dave Domina was forced to defend his decision to defend Nazi war criminal Ivan Kalymon in 2006. Domina stood by his work, saying that “Mr. Kalymon lived an honorable life in the U.S.” Plus, you know, Domina is “person without biases against other people” and his “own beloved grandchildren are Jewish people.”

I wonder how his pet “Jewish people” felt about his decision?

Domina ads

Fortunately, Domina’s opponent is WAY ahead in the polls.
