Keep in mind that these results are from a nation whose mainstream media is strongly biased in favor of Obama Democrats.

Yet another reason why I never click on HuffPo
And why I stopped using my AOL email account. AOL bought HuffPo in February 2011 and began pushing it as their Go To News site.
Googling “AOL buys HuffPo” got me these two statements:
- AOL said, “AOL is buying Huffington Post, the news and culture website, in a deal that catapults AOL into a new stratosphere of a genuine media company.”
- The Wall Street Journals said, “AOL Buys Huffington Post: Is It Crazy?”
So about that claim that Huffington Post is a “news” website …
June 2013: The Filibuster Heard ‘Round the World
Texas State Senator Wendy Davis became a national darling of the left when she filibustered against a Texas State law that would halt the dismemberment and poisoning of pain-capable fetuses (i.e., post 20 weeks gestation).
HuffPo was among the many “news” media that declared Davis a hero … despite the fact that her filibuster accomplished nothing more than to catapult her and her pink running shoes into the national limelight. After she shut up, the law passed.
Sept 2013: Cruz Hijacks Senate ‘Til I’m Unable to Stand’
Texas Senator Ted Cruz was ridiculed and dismissed by the left when he filibustered in favor of the House bill to fund everything in the federal government, except Obamacare. They sneeringly called it just a “long speech” and a “fauxlibuster” because his time on the floor wouldn’t delay any votes.
They neglected to mention that Democrat Majority Leader Senator Harry Reid was contemptuously refusing to even permit a vote on the House bill. The only vote Reid wants to come to the floor is to vote to fund EVERYTHING or NOTHING.
The House bill approved funding for everything EXCEPT Obamacare.

Malignant Narcissism in the White House
Barack Obama never was a great man. He never was even a good man.
- As Navy Seals approached Osama bin Laden’s hideout, Barack Obama played cards with his pals.
- While our consulate in Benghazi was under armed assault, Barack Obama packed a bag for Vegas and went to bed early.
- As the Navy Yard death toll mounted, Barack Obama delivered a strident speech about how evil all Republicans are.
We had lots of reasons to know the shallow, petty, malignant character of Barack Obama, but the MSM didn’t care to expose it to the majority of voters. Here’s just one story we should have heard, but did not:
When Obama was in the Illinois Senate, a man got flustered trying to introduce him to a friend. In the nervous rush of the moment, he totally blanked on his friend’s name. Obama said, “Well, I guess he isn’t your friend, is he?” Then he presented his business card, said, “You’ll be hearing about me,” and left.
Can you imagine how the media would have handled that story if it had featured Sarah Palin?
The MSM is still trying to cover for Obama, even as he throws them under the bus whenever it suits his ego. But you can’t beat the internet for getting the truth out from under slimey partisan rocks.

Liberal Logic on Climate Change
August 2013: Environmental activists launched a well-funded new attack on Republican “climate change deniers” in hopes of making global warming a big issue in the 2014 campaign cycle.
September 17, 2013: Long-time Gore-ite Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif … natch) is head of Congress’ Safe Climate Caucus. They hosted a Democrats-only forum today to hear to “hear from individuals who have experienced first-hand the serious impacts of climate change.”
Among them was a Texas rancher who talked about the extreme drought in Texas, which apparently we’re supposed to all assume was caused by carbon emissions. But the Texas State Historical Association climate records say severe drought in Texas happens about once every ten years or so. And the worst one was back in 1884–86, long before mankind started using fossil fuels in large quantities.
September 27, 2013: The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change will release its fifth report on global warming. Earlier IPCC reports fueled climate alarmism and padded Al Gore’s bank account. Reporters who got an advance copy of the new report say it admits the computer models they used in the past sucked and oops sorry about the alarmism thing.

Media FAIL
September 16, 2013 at CNN:
CAROL COSTELLO: This seems so unusual to me that a gunman could create this kind of havoc at a U.S. military facility. Have you ever heard of it happening before, Brian?
BRIAN TODD: Well, we did have the Fort Hood shooting in 2009.
While the Navy Yard assault was still on-going, some “source” told reporters the shooter had an AR-15. CNN’s Musket Morgan and a host of other pro-gun-controllers predictably jumped right on the wagon.
One has to wonder if they have these AR-15 stories pre-written, like celebrity obituaries. In any case, it turns out they were wrong.
Will they retract? ::snort:: One of them took a page from Shrillary “What difference does it make?” Clinton:
“Does it really matter what kind of gun was used? The people are just as dead regardless.”
Hmm … it seemed to matter when you thought you could use it to promote your gun control agenda.
Granted: Piers’ notation about Aurora and Sandy Hook were somewhat correct. Those shooters did carry semi-automatic rifles, though that particular gun malfunctioned during the Aurora incident.
But what about the SHOTGUNS? Huh? All THREE shooters had SHOTGUNS!
Vice President Biden says all you need is a shotgun [2:00]

It’s no wonder Lefties hate the free market
2013: Planned Parenthood has had to close a record number of clinics this year and it’s only August. Only 15% of Americans believe abortion is morally right. Then there’s Gosnell and fiends, all the help and protection abortionists have been shown to provide to child molesters, pimps and human traffickers, and the massive amounts of Medicaid fraud.
Planned Parenthood Abortion Business Has Closed 24 Clinics in 2013
If Leftists didn’t have double standards, they wouldn’t have any standards at all
Nidal Hasan has been convicted of killing 14 and wounding more than 30 people in the 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood. Before Hasan shot and killed the pregnant Francheska Velez, she cried out “My baby! My baby!” According to libtards, only the pregnant woman has a right to kill her unborn child. Nevertheless, MSM news reports say Hasan only killed 13.
Nidal Hasan Found Guilty, Reports Exclude Unborn Baby From Tally of Those Killed
Wisconsin Right to Life strategies should become a national model
The 2012 number is out and it shows abortions in Wisconsin have dropped from their highest (1980 = 21,754) to their lowest ever (2012 = 6,927). Wisconsin’s current abortion ratio of 10 abortions per 100 live births is dramatically below the national ratio of 24 per 100 live births.

The Lapdog News goes bonkers cuz …
… the Obamas got a GIRLFRIEND! for BO!! ZOMG!!!
Since they didn’t milk the media by building this up for weeks and weeks prior to the arrival ZOMG and meeting the family ZOMG and getting a name ZOMG … you know, like how they did when they got Bo, I’m thinking this is definitely a MEDIA SQUIRREL event to distract attention from the worsening situation in the Middle East and the fact that people here at home are waking up to the economic train wreck that is ObamaCare.
Twitchy listed a selection of possible Secret Service Code Names for the new pooch:
- Squirrel
- Distraction
- Veal
- Entree
- Dinner Belle
When the first First Dog was named Bo, folks speculated it stood for the Narcissist in Chief, Barack Obama. We’re thinking they’ve done it again with Sunny. “If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon.” Sunny looks just like Bo, minus the WHITE parts.
I’m happy for Bo. He’ll be lots happier with another high energy dog to play with, though I am wondering if Sunny will need her own personal, six-figure, tax-payer funded, groomer-feeder-trainer-walker or if Bo will maybe share his with her.
Ditto the private air travel to various five star Obama vacays.
