Fundraising

In 2004, President George W. Bush broke all records for presidential time spent fundraising for re-election. At the time Democrats hit him hard for it.

Obama has far surpassed Bush’s record. And American taxpayers are footing the bill.

Or Barack Obama?

Obama’s Campaign of Lies Reaches Despicable Low – August 8, 2012

http://news.investors.com/article/621512/201208081856/obama-has-no-shame-.htm

Unable to run on his record, President Hope-and-Change has built a campaign based entirely on lies about Mitt Romney.

The latest reaches a historic, despicable low.

A new Obama ad features a man named Joe Soptic claiming that Mitt Romney killed his wife.

The basis for his argument is that after Bain Capital closed his steel plant, Soptic lost his job and his insurance, and then his wife died of cancer.

Even it any of this were true, trying to blame Romney for his wife’s death defies credulity.

But it isn’t true.

1999: Romney left Bain in February to take over the Olympics.

2001: Bain closed the steel plant and Joe Soptic lost his job. Soptic’s wife still had her own job WITH INSURANCE at that time. She only lost her coverage LATER when she left that job.

2006: Soptic’s wife’s cancer was symptom-free and only discovered when she was hospitalized for pneumonia.

Even Obama-philes are rolling their eyes over this “Romney killed my wife” ad. CNN’s Wolf Blitzer called it “pretty outrageous” and HuffPo’s Sam Stein said it went “too far.”

The Obama campaign has refused to denounce the ad.

But why should Obama stop the lies when most in the press won’t call him on it and repeating lies keeps the focus on Romney and off Obama’s dreadful record as president?

Hope and Change be damned. Obama is nothing more nor less than an utterly shameless politician who will do or say anything to keep his job.

THE THURSDAY GRUDGE

Posted by Pistol Pete

I was down to my very last nerve yesterday and its still badly frayed.Hopefully you guys can come up with some different links because I’m going to concentrate on just a few.Lots of videos and some ranting too.

I was watching Fox and they had on Andrea Saul,representing the Romney campaign.They played that awful ad and her remark was if they’d lived in Massachusetts they’d have had healthcare.I came out of my chair literally screaming,”WHAT THE F#*$% ARE YOU DOING??YOU’RE BLOWING IT!!!

DW rushed in fearing I was going into cardiac arrest.Mitt better wake up and realize he’s not in Massachusetts anymore.You don’t compromise with these people.This bastard thrives when he’s in the middle of a slash-and-burn campaign,the dirtier the better.If Romney keeps throwing jabs Obama’s character assassins will cut him to pieces with straight razors while the media cheers them on.This campaign is supposed to be about Obummer’s record,but thats hard to do when only one side plays by the rules.We saw how that worked out with McLame.By the way,it turns out Saul came from the McCain campaign.If that’s the kind of people he has working for him,it doesn’t look too good.

Later on Hannity,Ann Coulter was on and she saw exactly what I did.I’m posting video in the reply section.She was fuming!

Then I saw another clip on Steponme Cutter,who was on CNN smugly grinning and denying the White Hut had anything to do with Joe Septic and Priorites USA .”That would be illegal,” she smiled.An audio clip was unearthed from a few months ago where she had a teleconference call with the same union hack.I went to bed numb,hoping for a better tomorrow.This day really stunk.

Barack Obama and his cronies in the Democratic Party, in the big unions and in the mainstream media are evil.

Period.

Real Men pick up the check

A city spokesman said local taxpayers shouldn’t have to subsidize the cost of an event that is purely for fundraising and is not open to the public except for payment. If the Obama bill continues to be unpaid, they will send it to an outside contractor for collections.

Not even in the same ball park

Remember yesterday’s “dorky poll” that I showed was badly skewed?

August 2, 2012: Pew “If the election were today” poll of Registered Voters

Obama 51% vs. Romney 41% vs. Not Reported 8%

http://www.people-press.org/2012/08/02/romneys-personal-image-remains-negative/

Compare it with this one.

Friday, August 3, 2012: Rasmussen “If the election were today” poll of Likely Voters

Romney 47% vs. Obama 43% vs. Other 5% vs. Undecided 5%

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administration/daily_presidential_tracking_poll

These polls both have MOEs in the 3-4 point range. Let’s just suppose both are off by the maximum.

Pew: Obama + 10 becomes Obama +6

Rasmussen: Romney +4 becomes Tied.

They’re not even in the same ballpark. Obviously, I think Rasmussen is closer to the truth.

The people can smell it for what it is

Reid Accuses Romney of tax evasion on Senate floor [:49]

Senator Harry Reid was born in Searchlight, Nevada, in 1939. His boyhood home had no indoor toilet, hot water or telephone. He met his wife in high school. They married in his Mormon church in 1959 when he was about 20 and she was about 19. Her family (Jewish) disapproved. After school, he practiced law briefly, then got into politics and stayed.

1969-1970: Nevada state assembly

1970-74: Nevada lieutenant governor

1977–81: Chairman of the Nevada Gaming Commission

1982-86: U.S. House of Representatives

1986 – present: U.S. Senate

The five Reid children all went to college and three of them went to law school as well. Since Reid grew up poor and worked his way through law school, one might wonder where he managed to come up with the bucks to educate five kids to that degree when he has been working for a government salary since shortly after graduating from law school.

Keep wondering, because Harry Reid refuses to release his tax returns.

Best guess, he is currently worth somewhere between $2.6 and $5 million. That is quite a rise for a man who endlessly reminds us he was born poor and whose salaries have been a matter of public record for the past 43 years. His peak salary in politics is now where, as Senate Majority Leader, he is paid $193,400.

I refuse to say he EARNS $193,400, because he is largely responsible for the fact that the Senate has not passed a federal budget in three years. Since passing a budget is pretty much Job One for the U.S. Congress, you can appreciate my reluctance to give Reid credit for earning his exorbitant salary.

How does a man who’s only “product” is legislation manage to sock away millions? And how does a LAWYER (who himself refuses to disclose his finances and whose party leader refuses to disclose any of his personal documents) actually stand on the floor of the United States Senate and accuse Mitt Romney, MINUS ANY ACTUAL EVIDENCE, of being a tax cheat simply because he won’t do what Reid himself won’t do?

Senator Reid, until I see evidence to the contrary, I am going to ASSUME … MINUS EVIDENCE … that you enriched yourself off your government position, through cronyism and other backroom dealings.

Check out who else is on the Hypocrisy Train with Reid in suggesting Romney must be a tax criminal because he refuses to lay his finances out for all the world to see …

  •     Nancy Pelosi, House Minority Leader, refuses to release her financial information. Pelosi said Romney’s refusal to release more than two years of his personal tax returns makes him unfit to hold high office.
  •     Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, refuses to release her financial information. She accused Romeny of showing a “penchant for secrecy.”
  •     Missouri Democrat and Obama groupie Claire McCaskill is one of only 17 members of Congress who have shared more than the minimum financial disclosure required by law. However, since she filed separately from her wealthy spouse, her “disclosed” financials show only her salary. Remember what Reid said about Romney’s investments in Bermuda being evidence of tax dodging?  One guess which Missouri Democrat has a wealthy spouse with investments in Bermuda.

Thankfully, Mitt is refusing to be cowed or bowed by any of this bull crap. I’m loving this guy more and more!

Another dorky poll

August 2, 2012: Pew Poll gives Obama 51% vs. Romney 41% in “If election were today” question

BUT is Obama really ten points ahead?

Party Affiliation in Pew Sample vs. Gallup Party Affiliation Poll July 19-22, 2012 (most recent) = Skew

Republican 459 = 24.5% vs. 28% = minus 3.5 points

Independent 599 = 32% vs. 41% = minus 9 points

Democrat 813 = 43.5% vs. 30% = plus 13.5 points

Total 1871 = 100% showing 17 point skew toward Democrat over Republican

Calculating the Independent skew – With “Leaners”, Gallup reports Republican 47% vs. Democrat 45%

Republican 47% – 28% = 19 points from Independents = 43%

Democrat 45% – 30% = 15 points from Independents = 34%

Independent 41% – 31 points = 10 Independents with no Lean = 23%

Rough split of the minus 9 points worth of Independents between Republican, Democrat and No Lean:

Republican 4 vs. Democrat 2 vs. None 2

Assuming I’ve done the math right (not a good assumption, I assure you!), this adds another 2 points to the skew toward Democrat over Republican, for a whopping total of 19. That’s nearly double the lead they’re showing for Obama over Romney.

So, yeah, Obama’s ahead if you mostly only ask Obama voters who they’ll vote for. Duh.

Two Busts … Only One Lie

British correspondent Nile Gardiner wrote eloquently about the Churchill bust debacle, referring to the Obama White House’s attitude as “amateurish.” (First URL below.)

Show me the money

Chrissy’s Site Bites @ http://news.webshots.com/photo/2731919510056011884plapGV

The June 2012 campaign finance reports reveal an unsurprising pattern:

Obama spent more than he took in (received $46 million, spent $58 million), while Romney spent less (received $33 million, spent $27.5 million).

July totals are due at the Federal Elections Commission by Aug. 15.

Meanwhile, Obama and his team are sending out more frequent and increasingly desperate-sounding pleas for money, howling that Romney has an unfair financial advantage.

The advantage may or may not be real when you figure in PAC and political party spending. Regardless, I think it’s a bit rich of the Obama machine to complain!

In 2008, Obama reneged on his promise to stay within the public campaign financing limits that McCain agreed to, has been fund-raising the entire time Obama’s been in the White House and did not have to spend anything on a 50 State primary fight.

A recent fund-raising email from VP Biden had the subject line: “Romney defeats Obama?” The text warned that such a headline might be possible on the day after the election if supporters don’t dig deep into their pockets now.

“Don’t let anyone convince you that this is a sure thing — our opponents have almost unlimited resources at their disposal, and we already know they’ll outspend us by a good amount,” Mr. Biden warned. “What we do now decides the headlines on November 7th.”

Romney’s campaign manager forwarded Mr. Biden’s e-mail to Romney’s list of supporters and suggested the recipient donate “to make sure the headlines read correctly in 100 days.” LOL
