Palin Takes Alaska Reporters To Task- Reporters Allegedly Heard Plotting Rally Coverage

Really, fabricating stories and pure propaganda is now what constitutes objective reporting by the MSM. Is it any wonder that the majority of Americans no longer trust the media when it comes to reporting on the news.

Tom Tancredo for Colorado Governor and Patrick Murray for 8th Congressional District in Virginia

I urge you to support both Tom Tancredo and Patrick Murray next Tuesday. These are two good men who are running in very tight races.



Political Wisdom: Could Tancredo Provide the Final Big Upset?
By Gerald F. Seib

In an upsetting kind of year, there are bound to be more surprise upsets when votes actually are counted next week. So this is a good time to look ahead in an attempt to figure out where those final upsets might pop up.

Bryan Curtis on The Daily Beast offers up one potential shocker: Immigration hawk Tom Tamcerdo, running as a third-party candidate, could win the Colorado governor’s race:

Let’s stipulate that at least one wild and inexplicable event will occur on Election Night. Here’s a nominee: Tom Tancredo, a man whose immigration rhetoric was so rough that he was banned from the Bush White House, becomes governor of Colorado.

We feel fantastic,” Bay Buchanan, Tancredo’s campaign manager, said Tuesday. “We’ve gone from 14 points in August to the low 40s now. It’s a climb of nearly 30 points in a couple months.”

This is Posturing Week in American politics, and all numbers tend to be highly bogus. But in a year in which immigration has captured the public imagination, the notion of Governor Tancredo is gaining currency. An October 25 Public Policy Polling survey showed Tancredo three points behind the Democratic candidate, Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper. That tracks with a Republican poll last week that showed Tancredo trailing by just one point among likely voters. A Denver Post poll from the weekend showed Hickenlooper with a 10-point lead.

John Rossomando of the Daily Caller suggests another potential upset coming out of the blue:

Democratic Rep. Jim Moran’s 8th Congressional District is considered the second bluest district in Virginia, and the 19-year incumbent has consistently demolished his GOP challengers, but internal polling conducted by his current GOP opponent’s campaign suggests this year could be different.

Republican candidate Col. Patrick Murray’s most recent internal numbers from the last four days show Moran leading with 32.3 percent compared with Murray’s 29.7 percent. 30.5 percent are shown to be undecided.

The Murray campaign’s internal numbers also suggest Moran has high negatives (you can read more about why the anti-gun, anti-semetic Moran needs to lose this race below). A Sept. 22 poll conducted by McLaughlin & Associates found Moran’s support at below 50 percent ̶ with only 42 percent of those polled rating him as good or excellent and 41 percent rating him as fair or poor.

Meanwhile, there’s one race that was defying conventional wisdom because the vulnerable Democratic incumbent seemed to be in pretty good shape. Now, Michael Ames of Politics Daily says that picture may be changing:

The Idaho congressional race that had been defying national trends seems to be finally conforming. A new Mason-Dixon poll sponsored by seven Idaho newspapers shows conservative Republican challenger Raul Labrador pulling into a statistical dead heat with incumbent Blue Dog Democrat Walt Minnick. The poll has Minnick leading Labrador 44 to 41 percent, a seven point tightening since the last Mason-Dixon survey in mid-September.

The poll spells out explicitly what many insiders have been saying about this race for months — regardless of Minnick’s wide leads in fundraising and name recognition, the freshman Democrat is an endangered incumbent in one of the most conservative districts in the country.

Virginia Democrat Disparages Military Members  

A Virginian congressman facing a tough political battle for reelection made comments about his opponents qualifications that have resulted in a backlash against his own campaign and political party.

During this election cycle, when Democrats are facing a potential tidal wave of opposition, Democrat incumbents are disparaging their opponents while boasting about their own service with statements they believe will resonant with voters fed up with the Washington, DC status quo.

The strategy is to diminish the achievements and service of their opponents while puffing up their own. And they are kicking honesty and integrity to the wayside. For example, Nevada Senator Harry Reid, the current Senate Majority Leader, said during a television interview that had it not been for him, there would have been a worldwide economic depression. Of course, MSNBC host Ed Schultz, a staunch progressive and decidedly partisan television commentator, did not ask Reid to explain how he achieved his miraculous feat.

Unfortunately, the whoppers don't stop at the U.S. Congress. On Sunday, President Barack Obama told the American people that Congresswomen Nancy Pelosi is the best Speaker of the House who ever served.

This past week, Rep. Jim Moran, the longtime Democrat incumbent in Virginia’s 8th district, unleashed a firestorm of controversy when he disparaged the service of millions of troops and veterans. Moran diminished the value of their service by implying that the sacrifices and service our troops give while on active duty did not count as “public service” in the same way that elected officials are public servants.

The statement shocked and offended millions of veterans around the country as well as patriots who all agree that military service is a more pure and essential public service than being a politician, according to Betty Presley of Move America Forward Freedom PAC.

Moran was at a private meeting with other Democrats, deriding his opponent, Republican Patrick Murray, when he said this:

“What [Republicans] do is find candidates, usually stealth candidates, that haven’t been in office, haven’t served or performed in any kind of public service. My opponent [Murray] is typical, frankly." n reality, Colonel Patrick Murray is a 24-year U.S. Army Veteran. And most Americans will agree a veteran with a decades-long record of defending our country deserves better.

After enrolling in the Reserve Officers Training Corp (ROTC) program at Oklahoma State University, Murray graduated as an officer in the US Army and went on to train as a tank commander and later, an intelligence officer. Murray has been deployed to Russia, Belarus, Bosnia, Yugoslavia, Kosovo, and most recently Iraq as part of the Bush Surge -- a successful military operation that Democrats Barack Obama and Joe Biden claimed as their own.

"Murray has been an outstanding soldier and his life of PUBLIC SERVICE has been marked by selflessness and dedication," said Presley.

"What’s more of a PUBLIC SERVICE? Spending 24 years defending your nation, or 20 years (that’s how long Jim Moran has been in congress) behind a desk taxing hardworking Americans and spending their money?" Presley asks.

Prior to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Moran told an antiwar audience in Reston, Virginia, that "If it were not for the strong support of the Jewish community for this war with Iraq, we would not be doing this. The leaders of the Jewish community are influential enough that they could change the direction of where this is going, and I think they should."

AFSCME’s Big, Brazen Attack- Labor union spends a pretty penny on misleading ads against GOP House candidates in Michigan and Nevada

If you want to know how badly people will lie to get someone elected you only have to look at recent ads being produced by Unions in support of Democratic canidates.

Afscmes Big Brazen Attack

The American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees is spending more than $1.5 million on ads that attack Republican congressional candidates in Michigan and Nevada. The big ad buy from the labor union also comes with some grandiose — and misleading — claims:

• 
  
  An ad in Michigan says GOP candidate Tim Walberg cast votes that "helped burn down our economy." But the four Democratic-backed bills the ad cites all passed — regardless of how Walberg voted.
• 
  
  The ad also charges that Walberg "skipped out on a vote" to save auto industry jobs. He was in the hospital, recovering from surgery, when the House voted on, and easily passed, the automakers bailout bill.
• 
  
  In Nevada, an ad claims that Republican Joe Heck’s Social Security proposal "would have erased" a woman’s retirement. But Heck has called for voluntary private accounts, not forced "privatization" of the whole system.
• 
  
  Another ad makes the over-the-top charge that Heck is "dangerous to women," because of his Social Security idea and his opposition to a state bill to require insurance coverage of a cervical cancer vaccine. Heck opposed the bill, but it easily became law.

Both Republican candidates are running against freshman Democrats in the House.

Incumbents are a dying breed in this year's election

Spector loses in primary race.

Tea Party Boosted by Rand Paul Kentucky Republican Primary Win

Congratulations Mr. Paul!!!! And thank you Kentucky for picking the true conservative to represent the GOP in the November elections!!!

By John McCormick and Catherine Dodge


May 18 (Bloomberg) -- The Tea Party movement claimed a victory with Rand Paul’s Republican primary win for U.S. Senate in Kentucky, one of four states holding elections today.

The Associated Press declared Paul, 47, the winner over Secretary of State Trey Grayson, 38, who was backed by Kentucky’s Republican establishment, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. Paul was ahead in the race over Grayson, 59 percent to 37 percent, with close to 40 percent of the vote counted, according to the AP.

Paul, an ophthalmologist and son of Representative Ron Paul of Texas, was embraced by Tea Party activists as part of their quest to promote a limited-government agenda. He touted support from the Tea Party in many of his campaign speeches.

Results from primaries in Pennsylvania, Arkansas and Oregon will also offer a broad measurement of anti-incumbent sentiment among the electorate. Two incumbent U.S. senators, both backed by President Barack Obama, are facing primary opponents who could deny them re-nomination in a year that’s becoming tough for incumbents.

LA Times: Revenge of the white men- Victims of the 'he-cession' are turning against the Democrats, and that could sway the November elections.

An excellant editorial by the normally very liberal L.A. Times:

March 22, 2010By David Paul Kuhn

Millions of white men who voted for Barack Obama are walking away from the Democratic Party, and it appears increasingly likely that they'll take the election in November with them. Their departure could well lead to a GOP landslide on a scale not seen since 1994.

For more than three decades before the 2008 election, no Democratic president had won a majority of the electorate. In part, that was because of low support -- never more than 38% -- among white male voters. Things changed with Obama, who not only won a majority of all people voting but also pulled in 41% of white male voters. Suddenly, there were millions more white men voting the Democratic ticket.

U.S. to Karzai: Accept vote recount

Great job CIA we back this guy and he can't even get elected legitimately by his own people. Maybe the reason he can't get elected in a fair election is that he doesn't represent the people of Afghanistan.


U.S. to Karzai: Accept vote recount

Vote For Chris Christie In November New Jersey

"The scope of corruption is beyond anything," Corzine said. "It was outrageous. I will not tolerate this." http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2009/07/dca_commisioner_joe_doria_resi.html

Corzine seems surprised that his Commissioner is under investigation by the FBI and US Attorney Generals office for corruption. The only thing that is truly surprising is that the NJ State Attorney General, whom Corzine appoints, never seems to catch these guys. I guess its hard to investigate corruption if you know the people it will net are those that you rely on for your political power. Right Corzine?!

Its time for change in New Jersey and that change is Chris Christie. While this latest roundup of New Jersey politicians occurred after Christie's resignation as N.J. U.S. Attorney General the investigation began back when he was still in charge.
http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2009/07/new_jersey_corruption_sweep_re.html

His record in New Jersey regarding corruption is impeccable. He had 130 convictions and 0 acquittals during his tenure in New Jersey. Corzine is either corrupt or inept either way we no longer can afford him in New Jersey.

Recently Corzine has attempted to smear Christie but the truth is that Chris by all accounts is an honorable man. Trenton is full of crooks and it is time to vote them all out. Vote for Christie!!!!!!!! Hey even Corzine thinks he's great, except when he is behind in the polls.
