Obama’s hypocritical attack ad portrays Romney as job-killing ‘vampire’

“Obama Vampire” Photoshop parody by Gibbwake

President Obama’s campaign has just launched a dishonest new ad called, “Steel,” which twists the truth in order to attack former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney’s record on job creation. The ad attempts to blame Mitt Romney for the 750 workers who lost their jobs at GS Technologies, a steel mill in Kansas City, Mo., that was bought by Romney’s private equity firm Bain Capital. The ad paints Romney as out of touch with the needs of the local workers and concerned only with Bain’s own profits. “We view Mitt Romney as a job destroyer,” says one former mill worker in the ad. Another calls Bain “a vampire. They came in and sucked the life out of us.” What the Obama campaign...

Obama vs. Romney: The College Years

college_comparison

In response to DemocraticUnderground’s duplicitous agitprop, “It’s A Hard Life Being A Romney: The College Years,” I thought a little perspective was in order. Below is the original bit of disinformation, which cherry-picks Ann Romney’s description of their college years for the purpose of generating envy and hatred of the wealthy. This DU hack job conveniently glosses over the facts that Mitt Romney didn’t receive an inheritance, and he’s earned every penny he owns through hard work and smart investment. In contrast, the IRS reports that “poor Barack Obama” was already making $272,759 in 2001, By 2005, the Obamas’ combined earnings were $1.6 million. They could have paid off their student loans LONG ago, but that doesn’t fit the Democrat Party narrative of jealousy. Ann...

Obama’s chief strategist Axelrod endorses Romney for President

David_Axelrod

David Axelrod, Chief Strategist for Barack Obama, earned himself the Freudian Slip Award by endorsing Mitt Romney for President on Fox News Sunday: “The choice in this election is between economy that produces a growing middle class and that gives people a chance to get ahead and their kids a chance to get ahead, and an economy that continues down the road we are on.” Even a broken clock is right twice a day. I have to agree with Mr. Axelrod; four years down the Obama road to serfdom is more than enough.

Obama misquotes Reagan to support “Buffett Tax”

Posted 12 Apr 2012 in class warfare, economy, lies, Ronald Reagan, taxes
reagan-obama

Just when I think President Obama couldn’t possibly stoop lower, he does something to prove me wrong. This time, he’s deliberately misquoting President Reagan, implying that The Gipper would have somehow approved of Obama’s “Buffett Tax” of 30% on wealthy Americans. But this just proves that Obama must have failed reading comprehension in school. President Barack Obama invoked Republican icon Ronald Reagan Wednesday in a bid to gain support for his Buffett Rule, saying he’d change the name to the “Reagan Rule” if it meant gaining GOP support. Obama brings up a speech Reagan made (see below) in which he promotes a letter received from a wealthy executive who paid a lower tax rate than his secretary. “I’m not the...

VIDEO: Bill Whittle on race-baiting and “The Working Class”

Posted 23 Jan 2012 in 2012 election, conservatism, Newt Gingrich, racism, Republicans
Newt_South_Carolina_debate

Excellent takedown of Juan Williams’ race-baiting by Bill Whittle. In this week’s Afterburner, Bill Whittle takes on the liberal agenda by addressing the underlying assumptions of Juan Williams when he asked Newt Gingrich this question: “You recently said black Americans should demand jobs, not food stamps. You also said poor kids lack a strong work ethic and proposed having them work as janitors in their schools. Can’t you see that this is viewed, at a minimum, as insulting to all Americans, but particularly to black Americans?” This is why I wish Cain could have survived the rumors that dogged his campaign; when common-sense conservative ideas are espoused by black Conservatives, Liberals can’t play the race card and must debate...

VIDEO: Gingrich nukes CNN’s John King

JohnKing_newtered

Although I don’t necessarily agree with the “Gingrich Wins The GOP Debate In The First Five Minutes” title of this video, I do think Newt handled the situation admirably. As the dinosaur media attempted to repeat their latest yellow journalism narrative, Gingrich bashed CNN’s John King for opening the debate with a question about the salacious “open marriage” accusation from Newt’s ex-wife. Instead of keeping a presidential debate focused on the issues facing our nation and the candidates’ stance on each, CNN chose to lead with rumor and innuendo surrounding an old scandal that Gingrich has already explained and apologized for. I think Newt was right to call them on it. (via The Blaze) Asked if he wanted to respond...

Allen West: “Mr. President, please don’t play the race card in 2012…”

Posted 16 Jan 2012 in 2012 election, Allen West, Barack Obama, racism
AllenWest_flag

Congressman Allen West (R-FL) engages in a little wishful thinking on the occasion of Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday. Just two years after my birth, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. momentously described his dream that one day his children would “live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but the content of their character.” How proud he would have been on that November Tuesday in 2008 when Barack Obama was elected the 44th President of the United States. Clearly, Dr. King’s dream had come true. White voters across America had judged our President by the content of his character, not the color of his skin, and elected a man...

VIDEO: Ronald Reagan’s 1981 Christmas address

Posted 22 Dec 2011 in Ronald Reagan
Reagan_Christmas

President Reagan wasn’t afraid to speak about Christ, particularly during the time when America celebrates the holiday season honoring Jesus’ birth. I’m posting this video as a refreshing contrast to the current “war on Christmas” attitude which seems far too prevalent lately. Giving the Grinch a run for his money this year, an attorney — acting on behalf of the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) and local atheist complainant Douglas Marshall — has sent a letter to the mayor of Warren, Mich., threatening legal action against the city unless the mayor allows an “equal time” anti-religion sign next to a nativity scene in the city hall lobby. The reason? Marshall is offended by the expression of faith in the public...

UPDATED: Newt Gingrich didn’t exactly say “all gays should vote for Obama.” There’s more to the story. [Transcript & video added]

Note: I fired off this blog post after reading several corroborating accounts and being very disappointed by them. But I stand corrected, thanks to some of my friends on Google+ who pointed me to some blogs which were reporting the entire story, not just a few sensationalistic words from the conversation. (That’s what I get when I try to rush a post during my lunch break) My original post follows, as well as an update with a video and the transcript of the conversation. — Things like this puts Newt Gingrich in the same homophobic boat as Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann. Newt Gingrich told a gay man and longtime resident of Oskaloosa here today that he should vote for...

VIDEO: Chris Christie turns “Mic Check” into attack on Obama

Posted 08 Dec 2011 in 2012 election, incompetence, Occupy Wall Street, Republicans
Chris_Christie

OWS leftists rudely interrupt (i.e.“mic check”) Gov. Chris Christie’s speech in Iowa, but he handles it very well. He lets them throw their little tantrum, then turns it around and makes an excellent point about President Obama’s appalling lack of leadership. And he didn’t even need a teleprompter to do it. (h/t: Verum Serum) They represent an anger in our country that Barack Obama has caused…because he is a typical, cynical Chicago ward politician who runs for office and promises everything and then comes to office and disappoints. And so their anger is rooted, not in me or in Mitt Romney. Their anger is rooted in the fact that they believed in this hope and change garbage that they...
