An open letter from Kevin DuJan to Governor Mitt Romney

An open letter from Kevin DuJan to Governor Mitt Romney:

I love this open letter from Kevin Du Jan at HillBuzz to Governor Mitt Romney. In it he pours out his heartfelt appreciation for how Governor Romney has conducted himself and his campaign against Barack Obama and his corrupt Chicago Machine. Here’s a portion:

I’m writing this letter to you the morning after the last of the presidential debates to apologize to you personally for doing absolutely everything I could think of for four years to stop you from becoming the 2012 Republican nominee. I really didn’t know a thing about you, except that you had a lot of kids, were Governor of Massachusetts, and looked like an old movie star…and that you came in second last time to John McCain and somehow I got it into my head that this should have disqualified you from running again this year (or that it meant you’d repeat McCain’s anemic campaign and not even try to give Barack Obama a run for his money). Boy, was I stupid..because after these debates and the campaign you’ve run I have come to realize you’re one of the best political strategists I’ve ever studied…and you are a man who has clearly answered the call of duty when our country needed you the most. I am sorry for not giving you a fair chance until you became the nominee, but I’m beyond grateful I have the opportunity today to do anything I can to help your campaign in this home stretch.

What you have managed to do in this general election will be studied and written about for years because even many Republicans have no clue how smart you’ve played things. A lot of people are going to have pleasantly bewildered faces on November 6th as the electoral college results pour in and it becomes clear why you did everything you did for the last several months; it’s going to be like the end of one of those old M. Night Shyamalan films where the pieces all fit together and the audience finally gets the big “twist”. I actually plan on watching MSNBC for the results because I want to see Chris Matthews, Chuck Todd, Rachel Maddow and the other loathsome clowns on that Democrat propaganda network have real-time meltdowns and psychotic breaks as state after state is declared another addition to your victory column.

And there’s much more at the link. Please read all of it. It’s long, but so well worth your time.

From Speaker John Boehner: Speaker John Boehner noted today that Republicans are “the only ones in town who’ve offered a plan to address both the threat to our security that’s posed by the defense sequester, and the threat to our economy posed by the coming tax hike.” President Obama, on the other hand, “hasn’t lifted a finger to work with the Congress on jobs or to resolve these big issues.” Boehner noted: the president “doesn’t even have time to meet with his own jobs council. He’s just out there campaigning every day and looking for somebody else to blame.”

Progressive television host says it is the progressives' responsibility to reject the concept of the middle class

Progressive television host says it is the progressives' responsibility to reject the concept of the middle class:

This television host reiterates what I posted earlier about the Obamas’ goal of destroying the private sector middle class. The goal of today’s Progressive is no different from the goal of the 20th century European Communist: destroy the middle class, aka the bourgeoisie.

To understand what drives Obama to take the actions that he does, you must understand the man who influenced, mentored, and nurtured the philosophy behind the drive, Frank Marshall Davis.

GAO: Obama Administration doesn't have legal authority to enact spending program in ObamaCare

Wed, 11 Jul 2012 17:14:00 -0400

GAO: Obama Administration doesn't have legal authority to enact spending program in ObamaCare:

Congress’s non-partisan investigative arm said Wednesday President Obama is stretching the law to give bonuses to mediocre private Medicare plans — an $8 billion program the auditors had already urged the administration to cancel.

What? The Obama administration is operating outside the law? No. That simply can’t be! Not the most ethical and transparent administration in human history!

I know that no one reading this is surprised in the least. The question in my mind is how best to punish those — the president especially — for being such incredible liars.

Indeed.
