Democrats’ 2016 Contenders Are Betting on Gun Control

Sometimes when the night seems the darkest, a ray of light may be on the horizon. Obama’s crowd is getting so insulated, so full of themselves, that this gun control issue may be a gift to us. As we await to hear the numerous Executive Orders that are to be bestowed upon us, I came across this article. Indeed, if ever there was an issue that will rally the troops around the flag, this is it. So let them have at it. And let these new Marxist’s to be, run on taking our guns and ammo. 2016 will be a very good year. 2014 as well. Rahm Emanuel warned about it. But our arrogant petty little man thinks he can have his way. With Andrew Cuomo and Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley going full tilt on guns, they misjudge the mood across the vast reaches of middle America. You might want to check out my previous post to see what Rand Paul has to say about our “King”.

The New Republic

The gun lobby is just too strong, and the popular resistance to major new firearms restrictions just too ingrained, for reform to happen. At the same time, though, several high-profile Democrats who’ve been mentioned as 2016 presidential contenders are betting on a different read of the situation. As they see it, Newtown has truly changed things, making it not just politically feasible to broach new constraints, but perhaps even politically imperative.

If one needs further proof that the landscape has shifted and become far more complex, consider Rahm Emanuel, who as much as any other leading Democratic warned the party away from the gun control issue after 2000. He proudly recruited pro-gun rights House candidates in 2006, and strongly discouraged Attorney General Eric Holder and others in the Obama administration from pressing gun control in the president’s firm term (“shut the fuck up” on the issue, he reportedly declared).

..There was precious little persuasion of that sort from Emanuel and others in recent years — in fact, the opposite. Now, it’s coming from the likes of Cuomo, O’Malley, and Hickenlooper — none of them political dummies or lost-cause radicals. For once, there actually is a national conversation..

Pennsylvania – the State to end our “Long National Nightmare”

UPDATE: Philly GOP: Poll inspectors being ousted for Dems

Court-appointed Republican poll inspectors are being forcibly removed from voting stations in some Philadelphia wards and replaced in some cases by Democratic inspectors and even members of the Black Panthers, according to GOP officials

Pennsylvania will be the State to watch tonight. If  PA goes GOP it is all over and we can forget about Ohio. 30,000 plus attended the recent Bucks County rally and the energy was electrifying as reported by one of our comrades. Romney swings back to Pittsburgh again. Just a few short years ago it was unthinkable that the GOP could ever regain control of PA. Now the table has almost been run. All PA needs is to send Senator Casey packing and elect Tom Smith.

Watch for Lehigh and Northampton counties as discussed on the Bill Bennett show this morning. They are the bell weather counties.This is in the Allentown area. Bucks county is another. These returns should come fairly early and maybe we can get a good nights sleep.

Here is the site to watch for PA State election returns:  http://www.electionreturns.state.pa.us/

Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) predicted Monday that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney would carry the state of Pennsylvania, pushing back against Obama campaign adviser David Plouffe’s suggestion that GOP efforts in the state were a “desperate ploy” to find an alternative path to 270 electoral votes.

 But Toomey noted that in 2010, Republicans swept statewide offices in Pennsylvania, and he predicted a similar electorate for Tuesday’s presidential vote.

“If you take a look at what happened the last time Pennsylvanians went to the polls, which is 2010, Republicans swept,” Toomey told CNN on “Starting Point.” “I won a statewide office. We elected a Republican governor. The U.S. congressional delegation and the state House assembly. So the fact is Republicans control the government at all levels by big numbers, and I think that this election is going to be much more like 2010 than 2008. I think Gov. Romney’s going to carry Pennsylvania.”

Susan Rice said Obama was not ready for the 3:00 am Phone Call

Here we are in the WH situation room as participants watch the Benghazi workplace violence go down in real time resulting in the death of 4 Americans including the Ambassador Steven. Oops, did I make a mistake?

While looking around for the video of the infamous 3:00 am phone call  what should I find. DATE: March 5, 2008. The ultimate lackey, Susan Rice.  If you want to enjoy a real hoot, check out the full clip of Tucker’s interview. By the end of it one can conclude that neither was or is ready for the phone call. Maybe Hillary set up Susan Rice for her Sunday phone call to do 5 shows and lie like a rug as fair payback!

Best Politcal ad ever? Obama reaches new low

As if the campaign of Obama could not take a lower road, it does. We have his ”Romney is a B..S.er.” in Rolling Stone, now this. It is not enough to insult women’s intelligence - one trick ponies that only care about their free birth control, lets sexualize it more. Mammograms,  babies, now one can talk about Obama’s sexual prowess by innuendo. Undecided voters? Wake up. King Shamus has a great review of what is going on with this. Slide over for his full rant. Warning this is a crude one.

Mitt Romney wants to talk about creating jobs, cutting the deficit and reigning in runaway entitlements. Barack Obama wants to turn the polling booth into a Democrat Party boudoir. Which one sounds reasonable and which one sounds repellent and intrusive?

Let’s get beyond the creepiness of the clip. It was made by card-carrying members of the Left’s great religious movement. One of the most important tenets of the faith is the hyper-sexualization of their Great Super Cocksman. From Candy Crowley to Bill Maher, many progressives are dying to make babies with Barack Obama. Lena Dunham is just the latest liberal to profess her love for the cutest widdle political puppy dog.

Candy Crowley to the rescue – inserts herself and bails out Obama

After reading the comments from the left, apparently they are thrilled Candy came to the rescue of our flailing president regarding the attack of our embassy and killing of our Ambassador. Fortunately the next debate will be foreign policy. Mitt missed a chance, but Candy looked the fool. Most people probably are not that engaged in the Libya story since the media is giving it scant attention.  Energy? Obama is a bigger fool, check out yesterday’s post. Obama cuts off drilling in half of Alaska national petroleum reserve. Candy didn’t feel inclined to correct this record. I am sorry we did not have a knock out punch

President Obama is campaigning as a champion of the oil and gas boom he’s had nothing to do with, and even as his regulators try to stifle it. The latest example is the Interior Department’s little-noticed August decision to close off from drilling nearly half of the 23.5 million acre National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska.

Have we learned anything about choosing the left for moderators? Here we go:

One of the big moments from Tuesday’s presidential debate between Barack Obama and former Gov. Mitt Romney occurred when moderator Candy Crowley of CNN injected herself into the discussion after Romney accused the president of refusing to refer to the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi as a terrorist act.

“I think (it’s) interesting the president just said something which — which is that on the day after the attack he went into the Rose Garden and said that this was an act of terror,” said Gov. Romney.

“That’s what I said,” the president responded.

“You said in the Rose Garden the day after the attack, it was an act of terror. It was not a spontaneous demonstration, is that what you’re saying?”

“Please proceed, governor.”

“I want to make sure we get that for the record because it took the president 14 days before he called the attack in Benghazi an act of terror.”

“Get the transcript.”

“It — it — it — he did in fact, sir,” Crowley said, offering the president what looked to be a little debate assistance.

“Can you say that a little louder, Candy?” the president asked confidently.

“He — he did call it an act of terror. It did as well take — it did as well take two weeks or so for the whole idea there being a riot out there about this tape to come out. You are correct about that,” Crowley said.

Obama only ‘eye candy’ and Chris Mathews lost his tingle

What to say after one of the best political nights since the 2010 election night when we took back the House. I caught an interview from CNN and realize the Obama clan has no hold on reality whatsoever. So congrats Mitt, not much more to say, Chris Matthews at his best.

“One of the first things I saw on the basketball court was his lack of ego,” Robinson said. “The game wasn’t about him. It was about the game and about his teammates.”

Some observers have suggested that it is the first lady who grounds the president and keeps his ego in check, but Obama was adamant that this president is grounded on his own.

“Barack doesn’t have a big ego,” she said. “That would kind of be the last thing that I would think of when I talk about my husband is big ego, because he doesn’t have that. So it’s not much to check.” CNN

Here is Chris Matthews meltdown:

The real Obama – Feds don’t care about blacks -video

In a video obtained exclusively by The Daily Caller, then-presidential candidate Barack Obama tells an audience of black ministers, including the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, that the U.S. government shortchanged Hurricane Katrina victims because of racism.

“The people down in New Orleans they don’t care about as much!” Obama shouts in the video, which was shot in June of 2007 at Hampton University in Virginia. By contrast, survivors of Sept. 11 and Hurricane Andrew received generous amounts of aid, Obama explains. The reason? Unlike residents of majority-black New Orleans, the federal government considers those victims “part of the American family.”

The racially charged and at times angry speech undermines Obama’s carefully-crafted image as a leader eager to build bridges between ethnic groups. For nearly 40 minutes, using an accent he almost never adopts in public, Obama describes a racist, zero-sum society, in which the white majority profits by exploiting black America. The mostly black audience shouts in agreement. The effect is closer to an Al Sharpton rally than a conventional campaign event. Full story over at the Daily Caller http://dailycaller.com/

One Million Ohioans Free Phone Program Costs State $100 Million

By the way, this is the cost each year.  It is known that each senior center some months ago in Pennsylvania, was giving out free cell phones and all one needed to do was sign a paper. One could also sign up others by “proxy”. Take the form home and have others sign the forms and bring them back to the senior center. So this is just the beginning.  Another give away, the USDA was giving out vouchers to seniors to take to local farmer’s markets to get “free” fresh fruits and vegetables. The same process as well. One could sign up others by proxy. Anything for a vote or two.

One million Ohioans are using a free phone program costing the state nearly $100 million a year.
Dayton Today reported:

A program that provides subsidized phone service to low-income individuals has nearly doubled in size in Ohio in the past year — now covering more than a million people. At the same time, federal officials say they’re reining in waste, fraud and abuse in the program.

The Federal Communications Commission announced recently that reforms have saved $43 million since January and are expected to save $200 million by year’s end. In Ohio, savings are expected to be $2.9 million a year.

The savings were realized in part because the government gave out fewer cellphones to ineligible people and took steps to avoid issuing duplicate phones.

But the size of the program in the state — and profits to the increasing number of cellphone companies involved — has exploded in recent months, according to a Dayton Daily News analysis of program data.

The program in Ohio cost $26.9 million in the first quarter of 2012, the most recent data available, versus $15.6 million in the same timeframe in 2011. Compared to the first quarter of 2011, the number of people in the program nearly doubled to more than a million.

Growth could cost everyone who owns a phone. The program is funded through the “Universal Service Fund” charge on phone bills — usually a dollar or two per bill — and the amount of the fee is determined by the cost of this and other programs…A growth of $100 million in this program could result in an increased fee of a few cents on the average bill, according to officials from the agency that administers the program. The total cost of the program nationwide was $1.5 billion in 2011, up from $1.1 billion in 2010. H/T and more at  Gateway Pundit

Democrats and Muslim ‘Jumah’ at South Carolina

Obama is counting on rounding up his base. Apparently, no group is unworthy of trying to catch some votes. Should make for a good photo-op. This is not an official Democratic sponsored event.

The Democratic National Convention is not commenting with the featured Islamic “Jumah” prayers for two hours on the Friday prior to its convention.Democrats earlier denied a Catholic cardinal’s request to say a prayer. UPDATE: He has now been invited and has accepted. Click to enlarge:

Up to 20,000 people are expected to attend the Friday prayers and Jibril Hough, a spokesman for the Bureau of Indigenous Muslim Affairs (BIMA), said the purpose of the event is to hold political parties accountable for the issues faced by Muslim-Americans.

Robert Spencer speculates that the Democrat National Committee is simply so “in thrall to multiculturalism” that “few, if any” are even aware of the radical connections.

“To raise any concerns about such a speaker would be ‘Islamophobic,’ violating every rule of the anti-American, anti-Western ethos that prevails among so many Democrats today,” Spencer writes.

Siraj Wahhaj, the “Grand Imam” for the Jumah, is often considered a “moderate” because he was the first Muslim to give an invocation in the U.S. Congress, but as Robert Spencer notes, he has a number of troubling ties to dangerous radicals. In the early 1990′s the man reportedly sponsored talks by “the Blind Sheikh” Omar Abdel-Rahman in New York and New Jersey mosques, and told his followers that the United States will fall unless it “accepts the Islamic agenda.” Wahhaj was several years ago designated a “potential unindicted co-conspirator” in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

This sure sounds like a lot of fun.

Watch the promotional video via the Bureau of Muslim Affairs, which claims it is hosting the event “at the Democratic National Convention.”

Go to about 2:05 for the action to begin.The call to prayer with an American flag background, and the video “picks up” Some of the vid has no sound.

 

Full story of the background of these folks atThe Blaze. Some of it has been debunked. This is not an official part of the Convention. Yet the speaker has not been condemned.

McCaskill Behind All GOP Primary Contenders

Claire, Claire, Claire, what have you done? Here is a piece of good news that may portend of things to come. There are reports as well that Dem Senator Casey is very worried in PA. He is concerned that he is getting little attention, and that a stealth attack will come close to the election. So fellow patriots take heart, the fight has just begun. Romney is having some good days, and I hope his trip abroad may gain some attention. Here we go:

Missouri’s incumbent Democrat senator and one of President Obama’s most vocal supporters, Senator Claire McCaskill, is in trouble. The latest Rasmussen poll has her trailing every single one of the Missouri senate Republican primary contenders.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Missouri Voters shows former State Treasurer Sarah Steelman with the widest lead. She’s ahead of McCaskill by 12 points, 51% to 39%. Three percent (3%) like another candidate, and seven percent (7%) are undecided.

McCaskill has faced and increasingly uphill battle for her reelection. Missouri rejected the President’s health care with the Health Care Freedom Act by a devastatingly large margin (76%, 3-1 in every county save for the Kansas City and St. Louis cities proper) after she relentlessly campaigned for it. She’s been styling herself a moderate back home while presenting a far left persona in DC: rubber-stamping the President’s big spending which has led us into a pit of 8.2% unemployment and a quadrupled deficit. More at Breitbart
