Who would Voter ID disenfranchise?
In Minnesota you hear the claim of those opposed to Voter ID that it would disenfranchise 200,000 people. Who are those people? To be one of those disenfranchised, you would have to be a person who does none of the following: Drive a car. Write a check. Cash a check. Conduct a cash transaction of […]
Massive Coverup AND Incompetence
Sen. John McCain: “Massive coverup OR incompetence.” Wrong, Sen. McCain. It’s massive coverup AND incompetence.
Obama defends Benghazi inaction with “we were waiting for the facts”
The Obama administration defends the Benghazi inaction with “we were waiting for the facts”. This is a bald-faced lie. They were not waiting for the facts at all. They had instead taken the initiated to over and over declare “let me be perfectly clear: this was a spontaneous mob action instigated by a video”. It […]
Horses and bayonets
President Obama may have gotten a lot of laughs with his put down of Mitt Romney over “horses and bayonets”. But is it valid? No, it is not valid. The military is not asking for horses and bayonets, but the Navy is asking for 313 ships; Obama is cutting them Romney made the case that […]
Debate #3: Obama wins on points (maybe), but only Romney moves his campaign forward
Common wisdom at this point is that while Obama may have “won on points” (or not), only Romney moved his candidacy forward. Whether in fact Obama won on points is grist for another mill. Romney needed to accomplish three things last night in the debate, and he nailed them all: He needed to appear Presidential. […]
Obama administration does not know why there was insufficient security in Benghazi
Famously, Joe Biden said “we did not know”. The question was “why was there insufficient security at the American consulate in Benghazi?” The problem with Biden’s (and Obama’s) answer is that it dodges the question. It is now being spun that the State Department and intelligence community did know, but that the information was not […]
“Biden was on something … the opposite of what Obama was on”
Seen on Hannity tonight on Fox (12-Oct-12): Tamara Holder (D) said about the debates, Biden “was on something … the opposite of what Obama was on.”
Obama security
Some times a picture says it all. (For Twitter followers, see http://www.oofdah.com/?p=1584).
The difference between “Republican lies” and “Democrat lies”
What is the difference between “Republican lies” and “Democrat lies”. When a lefty accuses a Republican of lying, he cannot quote the lie. When a righty accuses a Democrat of lying, he can quote the lie. For example, I have already written at length about long lists of Obama’s lies. (See Debate Round One: the […]
Job-based economy or dependence-based economy
Should we have a job-based economy or a dependence-based economy? Everyone must agree that we need the jobs, and dependence should not be the end in itself, but part of the social safety net, for those with a real need. If you think we should have only the dependence-based economy, with the government taking over […]
