The Medias Bias Marches on


So the AP crops and posts this image of Ted Cruz, you know, a republican. I'm the AP believes this is a coincident and if you believe that then they have bridges for sale in the classifieds.

AP photo shows a gun pointed at Ted Cruz’s head
In an Associated Press image that drew comment and criticism on Twitter on Sunday, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is seen speaking with what appeared to be a gun aimed straight at him.
The photograph — taken by the AP’s Charlie Neibergall — actually captured a background poster, with a large semi-blurred image of a handgun pointed at Cruz’s forehead, straight between the eyes.
Story Continued Below
Cruz was appearing Saturday at CrossRoads Shooting Sports in Johnston, Iowa. During his speech, Cruz, an outspoken proponent of Second Amendment rights, encouraged residents to adopt what he called a Texan approach to guns by simply “hitting what you aim at.”
A day earlier, the Republican presidential candidate accused Democrats of using Wednesday’s church massacre in Charleston, South Carolina, as an excuse “to take away the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens.”~snip~
Now a lot of conservative sites are asking the question,"what if it was <insert democrat name here> ?"
That question misses the point entirely. The media is so in the tank for liberal/commie democrats that every story or picture about them is meticulously vetted to reflect liberal/commie democrats in the best light.
By the same token every story or picture about republicans is meticulously vetted or titled to make them look like fools.
Thanks to liberal media bias this will be the climate we enter into for the next presidential election.

Now it begins

As if there was any doubt Hillary Clinton announces that she is in the running to become POTUS. So get ready for the retread of 2008.

Hillary Clinton Announces 2016 Presidential Bid

Also get ready for the uncontrollable cheer leading and slobbering by the left wing wholly owned subsidiary of the democrat party.

The so called "mainstream media".

The Slobbering Begins: ‘Clinton makes bigger splash on Facebook than Cruz or Paul’

We're already seeing some of that with the kick off of the Clinton Scooby tour.

First on CNN: Hillary Clinton takes road trip to Iowa
(CNN)Iowa or bust. 
Hillary Clinton is kicking off her second bid for the White House with a road trip, riding from New York to her first campaign stop on Tuesday in Iowa. She was spotted on Sunday evening chatting with people at a gas station in Pennsylvania. 
Chris Learn, a 19-year-old student at Penn State Altoona, told CNN that he ran into Clinton at a Pilot gas station. He said she greeted him and asked him questions. He also said she was traveling with a group of people in a small caravan.
"I knew it was her immediately," Learn said. "I just saw her and I was like, there's no way that's her!"
He added: "She didn't really say why she was there, but I was guessing it was for presidential stuff." 
Clinton is riding in a van, which she has nicknamed "Scooby," an aide said, because it reminds her of the Scooby Doo Mystery Machine from the classic television cartoon. Asked whether she was behind the wheel, an aide said Clinton is riding and the Secret Service is driving.​~snip~
It's going to be a long election season.

Romney Rerun?

A friend on facebook pointed me to this article

Politico Commentary: Strong Case for Romney 2016 White House Run
Former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney insists he is not running for president for a third time, but a commentary in Politico Magazine argues he would have a reasonably good chance of pulling off the nomination for 2016.
The article was written by Emil Henry, former assistant treasury secretary under President George W. Bush. He campaigned for Romney in 2012.
Even though electoral history would suggest Romney's chances are slim, he has the advantage of being the de facto leader of the Republican Party, while no other candidate stands out in the crowded field of possible contenders, Henry wrote.
In addition, he wrote, Romney would be the only candidate in the last 50 years who wasn't a career politician.
Henry wrote this is relevant because voters' unhappiness with Obama is driven by a perception of incompetence. Romney would provide the desired contrast of someone who has experience from the business world of successfully executing initiatives.~snip~
Romney has indicated that he has no intention of running again, which I'm sure will be truly disappointing to the liberal/commie media because they won't be able to resurrect the knives they used against him in 2011.
But it got me to thinking about what the next republican nominee is going to be facing in 2015, especially if Hillary enters the race.
First the guy will be hobbled by the fact that he will be chosen by the RINO Rovian infested RNC who has already made it plain that Tea Party conservatives need not apply. He'll also be facing another round of the lickspittle media hyperventilating about electing another first.
The party that insipidly screams equality will pull the gender card out of the deck and play it for all it is worth.
The qualifications of either candidate will take a backseat to the constant refrain of shattering the glass ceiling. We run the real risk of electing another unqualified candidate to office for the simple reason of diversity.
I hope this time around most Americans will wise up enough to demand to know what kind of policies they'll be voting for.
Seeing as how most voted for "diversity" the last 2 times.
Because we now know what electing someone with no positions on anything has turned out.

Obama Dances Around Biden Endorsment



Errr....um....errr.
Some how I don't get the feeling that the Obamessiah and Joe are besties.
When the time comes I'm betting Obama's endorsement will go to Hillary as payback for her losing the nomination to him in the first place.
On the other hand Obama probably doesn't feel like wasting his endorsement.

Question Answered



You know even if Romney wasn't the ideal candidate, the question asked after Obama won another term is how could we have lost?
I believe this video answers the question very nicely.

Some people scoff at the idea that Obama voters are low information, seems pretty evident that they are to me.

Fairness...as Defined by Obama

Well, since the election Obama's agenda has been moving steadily forward. Requiring employers who cannot afford to do so to provide medical insurance to all employees.
In order to maintain their business some are scaling back and are forced to layoff workers, some are even closing down their businesses because of the burden of Obamacare and stifling regulations.

But fear not, even with the economy going into the crapper and jobs and small businesses going the way of the Dodo, Obama and his administration are moving forward to ensure equal results across the board.

Obama To Unleash Racial-Preferences Juggernaut

If your organization has a policy or practice that doesn't benefit minorities equally, watch out: The Obama administration could sue you for racial discrimination under a dubious legal theory that many argue is unconstitutional.
President Obama intends to close "persistent gaps" between whites and minorities in everything from credit scores and homeownership to test scores and graduation rates.
His remedy — short of new affirmative-action legislation — is to sue financial companies, schools and employers based on "disparate impact" complaints — a stealthy way to achieve racial preferences, opposed 2 to 1 by Americans.
Under this broad interpretation of civil-rights law, virtually any organization can be held liable for race bias if it maintains a policy that negatively impacts one racial group more than another — even if it has no racist motive and applies the policy evenly across all groups.
If this keeps going then the only logical result will be minority preference at soup kitchens and unemployment lines.
Elections do have consequences.

2012 Consequences

This is really no surprise, with the reelection of Obama and Obamacare being implemented a certainty, companies are taking preemptive action to avoid penalties in 2014 based upon the number of full time employees in 2013.
So the pink slips have started flowing.
Here's a list of companies announcing layoffs in the last 48 hours.

- Westinghouse
- Research in Motion Ltd.
- Lightyear Network Solutions
- Providence Journal
- Hawker Beechcraft
- Boeing
- CVPH Medical Center
- US Cellular
- Commerzbank
- Iberia
- Momentive Performance Materials
- Brake Parts
- Gameforge Berlin
- Vestas Wind Systems
- Husqvarna
- ING
- Ericsson
- SRA International
- PerkinElmer
- Majestic Star Casino and Hotel
- Center for Hospice NY
- Bristol-Myers
- Lower Bucks Hospital
- Oce North America
- Corning
- United Blood Services Gulf
- Atlantic Lottery Corporation
- Welch Allyn
- Dana Holding

- Covidien
- Kinetic Concepts
- St. Jude
- Hill Rom
- Darden Restaurants
- JANCOA
- Kroger
- Caterpillar
- Alcatel-Lucent
- Umatilla Chemical
- Rocketdyne

Doesn't seem to be a word about it from the liberal, commie media outlets. Makes you wonder what they're trying to hide don't it?
I mean after all the Obamessiah has already been re-elected so they no longer have anything to cover for.
Real pain for real families is coming and there's almost zero chance it can be avoided.
If you want to follow the decline of the American work force you can do it here.


It's going to be a long and difficult 4 years.

The Chick-fil-a Effect

I believe the liberal, commie, Obama loving media is in denial about how much ordinary Americans are sick and tired of them telling lies or omitting truth.
Just like they were in denial about about how much we resent being told what we can say and what we can believe in. The numbers who came out in support of Chick-fil-a should have given them a clue but instead they went into major denial mode and pretended it really didn't happen.

So while they've been fussing about Big Bird, binders, birth control, taxing the "rich" and racism if you are opposed to Obama's policies, the truth is sneaking up on them.
Americans are more concerned about getting and keeping a job, being able to afford gas in order to get to work so that they can support their families and provide a future for their children and grand children. But these concerns have been left behind in the interest of socialist ideology.
Massive crowds have been coming together to support Mitt Romney, Obama not so much this time around.
Not surprisingly the "major media" has been silent on the matter.


Amazing photos: ‘Unreal’ crowd packs Romney rally in Bucks County, Pa.




 















Mitt's been getting ten times the crowds that the Obamessiah has been able to muster, because voters are tired of empty promises. We want real change....and it's coming in 2 days.
The liberal, commie media won't be able to ignore that.

Letterman Questions Dear Leader?

Holy Crap Batman!!!
David Letterman has been one of the most sycophantic Obama believers out there, second only to Chris "tingles" Mathews, so when he questions the truthfulness of the Obamessiah it's huge.


The polls have been trending Mitts way and the enthusiasm gap is widening.

Mitt Romney gretts crowd in Colorado
















I'm feeling good about this election, even some of Barry's supporters are starting to doubt his fitness to be POTUS.

Ten more days and we correct a costly mistake.

Whiny Libs Blubber to U.N.

I can't think of anything more insulting than to be monitored by this group of racists, liars and thieves.

International monitors at US polling places draw criticism
United Nations-affiliated election monitors from Europe and central Asia will be at polling places around the U.S. looking for voter suppression activities by conservative groups, a concern raised by civil rights groups during a meeting this week. The intervention has drawn criticism from a prominent conservative-leaning group combating election fraud.
The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), a United Nations partner on democratization and human rights projects, will deploy 44 observers around the county on Election Day to monitor an array of activities, including potential disputes at polling places.
Liberal-leaning civil rights groups met with representatives from the OSCE this week to raise their fears about what they say are systematic efforts to suppress minority voters likely to vote for President Obama.
The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, the NAACP and the ACLU, among other groups, warned this month in a letter to Daan Everts, a senior official with OSCE, of “a coordinated political effort to disenfranchise millions of Americans — particularly traditionally disenfranchised groups like minorities.”
Progressive commie leftists will not take defeat lightly.
I just find it so hard to believe that these people actually want to continue four more years down this ideological road.
Just because they want to commit suicide doesn't mean they have to take the rest of us with them.

Jaw Dropping Stupidity

The more I see of Obama supporters the more I wonder how they remember to take a breath.



Hopefully the adults will take over after the election.

Latching onto Irrelevence

Liberals are simple minded creatures who can't resist colorful objects. Like after the first debate with all the issues involved the one thing they take from it is saving Big Bird.
Not the millions that are unemployed or under employed, not the multi-trillion dollar deficits, or the suffering of the middle class on all levels.
Nope....liberals became obsessed with Big Bird as a symbol for what ails America.

Well after this weeks debate, with unemployment still high, gas prices through the roof, on our way to record deficits and still no answers from the administration on the attack of the consulate in Benghazi and the deaths of four Americans (including the Ambassador).
The bright shiny object progressives are obsessing about is binders.

For instance go to Amazon.com and search for "binders" then read the product reviews.

Pretty silly stuff and it amazes me that liberal commie progressives think so little of the intelligence of the American people that they think they can distract us by pounding away with their juvenile opinions about binders and Big Bird.
Obsessing about these things do nothing to solve the very real problems we are facing in this country because of Obama and the progressive commie democrats that hold our government hostage.

Voters are going to choose their candidate based on the issues that affect them, not on the histrionics of the media and their entitlement minded sycophants.

We'll see how much Big Bird and binders really matter come Nov. 6.

Finally ......I'm Home

Well the last month and a half have been really tumultuous what with my being sick and then moving to a new place. But finally, I got my Internet hooked up and a new home coming to order so I can now pay attention to what's left of the campaign season.

Unfortunately I missed the Romney/Obama debate but I'll look for it on YouTube and watch later, however all I need to know about Obama's poor performance I could find here.

One of the interesting things I observed, while without cable or Internet, was the number of Spiriva and Lifestyle Lift commercials there is on the ABC nightly news.

Wonder if they're trying to pass Diane Sawyer a message.......not exactly playing to the youngest demographic out there are they?
I did catch the Biden/Ryan debate tonight though, not that it really matters much except for the potential Biden comic relief.
Anyway the reason I don't put much stock into VP debates is because we don't elect them and hand the keys to the car to the vice president.
My take on tonights debate is that the liberal media are trying to latch onto anything to mitigate the no show by Obama........If you go by what the alphabet channels are saying then Biden gave another sermon from the mount. But what's really funny is that there are people who are actually cheering for Biden.
You can't tell me that that ain't sad.

Faux Outrage of the Week



Further demonstrating that:

  1.  liberals have no sense of humor.
  2.  The lick-spittle liberal media will latch onto anything to avoid talking about Obama's record.
One look at the links on memeorandum from today shows all kinds of links reporting on and some showing outrage over the funny.
Twitchy documents the unhinged response from the dinosaur media on twitter.
I guess it's to be expected, back when this question first came up during the 2008 election, I found myself in an online discussion with some friends about the possibility. The way I felt about it and still do is that it doesn't matter if it was true because the liberal media here would never allow it to have legs.

Now am I saying there is a conspiracy with in the media to hide Obama's foreign birth?
Absolutely not, what I am saying is that the media will do everything they can to keep Obama in the White House up to and including covering up any and all violations of the constitution or election law.
It's no secret the liberal media is in the tank for Obama and have continued to violate their journalistic integrity in an attempt to keep him where he is.

That's why Romney's little joke made such a big whoop today, it's become another inflated news story for the media to report on instead of covering Romney/Ryan's ideas to create jobs and lower the deficit.
Obama doesn't have a plan to counter with so the only thing they can do is distort and distract.
In the mean time more people become unemployed, the federal debt rises and the economy stays flat.

We deserve better from the media in this country......we deserve to hear and see the unbiased truth.

Grading Obama

This has got to rank right up there with one of the stupidest requests a campaign can ever make.

Obama's campaign asks supporters to grade its performance

President Obama’s campaign is calling on supporters to grade its performance amid a difficult early June for his reelection bid against presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney.
“This campaign is ramping up, and the decisions we make right now will shape our path to victory in November,” said campaign manager Jim Messina in an email to supporters sent Saturday night.
“That's why I want your input, because you are the ones building this campaign on the ground in your community. We want to know from you what's working, what we could be doing better, what you care about, and what you're hearing about the President and this campaign,” said Messina.
So he cares what his supporters think but has a tin ear when it comes to the rest of the voters? He thinks the private sector is doing "fine".
Obama walked that back later in the day but you have got to wonder if he realizes what joblessness means to the more than 23 million Americans out of work?
8.2% unemployment is just a number, it shields the democrats from seeing the real problems that it causes.
I doubt that there will ever be an accurate account of those who have dropped out of the job market or people forced to collect their social security benefits earlier than they wanted to due to the incompetent handling of this economy.
If Obama wants to be graded let him wait until November.
The forgotten men/women of this country will give him the grade he deserves.

Gingrich out, Paulbots Continue to Beat Dead Horse

While Mitt Romney is not my second (third, forth.....) choice it appears he's what we'll have to settle for.

Candidate Gingrich ends campaign but vows to keep fighting as 'Citizen' Gingrich

I wasn't all that enthused about Newt either but truth be told I preferred him over Romney. In an election year where the rallying cry will be "Please God, anybody but Obama" we're just going to have to get behind Mitt and vote this failed administration out of office.
Fortunately we haven't been driven over the edge quite yet and are ready to vote in a crazy old libertarian, in spite of Ron Paul's rabid paranoid, 9/11 trooother brigade.

Paul supporters create delegate mischief

These poor misguided losers just can't get it that the American public just won't accept their loonie candidate. Why should we?
I've seen Paul's supporters advocate some of the most asinine conspiracies out there on the web, from chemtrails to 9/11 trutherism and everything in between.

They know as well as anyone else that this will be their last shot so they're going to try and go for all the marbles, obstructing and interfering in any way to get attention.

Hopefully after this election they'll all skulk back to their conspiracy forums where they can discuss the moon landing hoax, leaving the rest of America to get back to the business of limited government and prosperity.
We didn't lose those things over night and we won't instantly get them back by electing an old crank.

Gas Price Drop: Much Ado about Nothing

Just before the beginning of the Obama presidency gasoline prices averaged less than $2.00 a gallon, since then they've soared to over $3.80 a gallon.

So now here we are in an election year facing high gas prices and even higher unemployment and the media is making a deal about gas prices dropping on average by 8 cents.

THE RACE: Gas price drop may offer political bonus

You wouldn't know it from campaign rhetoric, but gasoline prices have been trending down.
Six months out, polls show the presidential race is very close and that the frail economy and jobs still top voter worry lists. Thus even a small drop in gas prices could generate big political ripples.
Generally, any slide in gas prices should benefit President Barack Obama more than presumptive GOP challenger Mitt Romney, and vice versa.
After flirting with $4 a gallon earlier this spring, the recent national average of $3.83 a gallon is down eight cents from a month ago.
The drop hasn't registered politically yet. Each party is blaming the other for high pump prices.
Republicans fault Obama for policies they claim are restricting U.S. oil production and pushing up energy costs, including his blocking the Keystone XL Canada-to-Texas oil pipeline. They also say he's taking credit for production increases that owe much to his Republican predecessor, George W. Bush. "No matter how Obama spins it, gas costs too much," says an ad by Crossroads GPS, a Republican super PAC.
Any drop in gas prices is good news but I think it's a little disingenuous for the media to start touting this as a game changer for the Obama administration.
The average price of gas is still to high for the regular guy just trying to make ends meet and support his family.
Just because one Obama EPA official gets caught revealing his disdain for the American consumer and resigns doesn't mean there ain't more waiting to take his place.
