Dr. Ron Paul, ex United States Congressman and superhero to Paulestinians everywhere, ran 2 horrendous Presidential campaigns in the last several years. His polling numbers were dismal, yet his drooling groupies insist that the "system" is rigged to keep independents like Dr. Paul from winning a Presidential campaign.
The only thing more pathetic than this whining came from Dr. Paul himself, on Twitter:
...perhaps you could start by hunting down all the guns you lost track of in Mexico.
"Nuff said.
My fellow Americans,
Contrary to what gun owners say about me, I am not against private gun ownership.
To aid all Americans in participating in their 2nd Amendment rights, I propose a new program.
Anybody who wishes to own a firearm will be given a musket, paid for by your government. Instructions for its proper use will be provided.
Government approved black powder will be available for 100 dollars an ounce.
Traditional lead musket balls are environmentally unsafe. Musket balls of a government approved material will be available for 10 dollars apiece.
All proceeds from the sale of black powder and musket balls will be used for gang violence abatement and birth control education programs.
I believe now that my administration has come up with a compromise on gun ownership that is satisfactory in meeting the intent of the Founding Fathers when they wrote the 2nd Amendment.
Thank you for your cooperation.
--President Barack Obama
President Obama was re-elected because people are convinced they will get "stuff" and it will be subsidized by the rich.
After all, the Democrats are of the mindset that wealthy, successful people owe something to the rest of us.
We contributed something towards "infrastructure", and in return Joe Rich Guy should pay for our kids' college educations.
See how it works?
Fork it over, rich guys! Your success is our meal ticket!
Mao Zedong would be proud of President Obama.
'Nuff said.
From an internet political forum:
"remember folks, cons hate the poor and want to kill them off like bugs
that's how they think of other people
I've seen them convert to the rush limbaugh/ fox dogma over the years and they are definitely brainwashed zombies who would kill for their masters"
This Week's Democratic National Convention symbolized what a once-great political party has become:
That is, the strained support of our President, who has gotten everything he wanted, yet hasn't affected our dismal economy in a positive way.
President Obama got a Stimulus bill passed without a single Republican vote in the House, and only 3 in the Senate (this is what Democrats call "bipartisan"), which was supposed to create jobs and jump-start the economy though expensive government projects. We're still at over 8% unemployment and now power-diving deeper into debt, thanks to this bill, which appears to have mostly benefited teachers' salaries and pensions. I have a blog that deals with the government waste this program subsidizes.
President Obama got his "Obamacare" healthcare bill passed, which puts the United States on track to single payer or Universal Healthcare, despite what Obama's defenders will tell you. He accomplished this through an end-run around the will of the people with the Congressional "reconcilation" process, because 2/3rds of the American people wanted Obama to focus on economic recovery FIRST, before strapping the country down to an expensive new entitlement program. No Republicans voted for Obamacare, which in the meantime has effectively slowed down the expansion of small to medium sized businesses who aren't sure what burdens they'll be forced to take on due this massive government takeover of healthcare.
Barack Obama has suggested that Mitt Romney isn't ready to deal with international politics, when Obama was elected with NO foreign policy experience, and has made blunder after embarrassing blunder on the international stage.
Sorry, Mr. President, but there are other threats to us besides Al Qaeda, and Vladimir Putin's sword rattling deserves some concern. Our relationship with the former USSR is strained, and you don't seem to get it. Also, the fact that you have snubbed Israel and think that tossing them a little foreign aid will placate them is just plain stupid on your part. The world buys a lot of its energy from the Middle east and Israel represents an island of stability in a sea of political unrest. It's plain that your concern for Israel is only for securing the liberal Jewish voter bloc.
Obama's funniest moment at the DNC was when he said, "You didn't elect me to tell what you wanted to hear, you elected me to tell you the truth."
So, what was the purpose of the big "pillar speech" in Colorodo, Mr. Obama, when you told us "we are the people we've been waiting for", and your election will mark the time when the "oceans began to rise"?
Obama said that if he couldn't reduce the deficit by one half he was a "one term proposition".
Obama promised "shovel-ready projects" and then admitted "they weren't as shovel-ready as we thought", to the sound of chuckling over his admission.
Are you admitting, Mr. President, that you're just another professional "say anything to get elected" politician?
It's 3 1/2 years into Obama's 1st term, and he's been campaigning for the last year or so. When recently asked about how Obama would grade his own performance, he responded with "an incomplete".
I'm sorry, Mr. President, but think back to your college days. If you had handed an incomplete assignment to one of your professors, that would have been counted as a "fail".
I didn't need to watch much of the DNC, because it was entirely predictable. I knew it was going to be 3 nights of repeating the same boring worn-out Obama talking points, embellishment of Obama's so-called "accomplishments", and the lame mock-and-ridicule tactics that the Democrats use in place of an actual record to run on.
And then when you couple that with the moving of the outdoor arena speech back to the indoor venue, you get a recipe for disappointment. You know, I haven't heard any mention of whether or not the DNC is going to refund the ticket money to the people that got shut out. How much do you want to bet those ticket holders are out of luck?
"Sorry, Charlie, you just made a donation to the Chosen One."
The most pathetic moment was bringing on their favorite has-been, Bill Clinton, who stands as living proof that Democrats have few, if any, morals. Only the Democrats would make a god out of a draft-dodging philandering liar who plea-bargained his fanny out of civil trials his last day in office. Bill Clinton is an absolute disgrace to the presidency, yet he is still worshiped by the Democrats as if he were divine. It was truly disgusting to watch Bill Clinton wiggle that crooked finger of his as he spoke... the same crooked finger he used when he said "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky."
The other truly laughable moment was EX-governor Granholm mocking Romney's car elevator in defense of Obama's GM bailout, (which looks like may wind up in a bankruptcy filing anyway). Is a car elevator really a political issue? Maybe somebody needs to remind the former governor of one of the most economically depressed states in the country that at least a car elevator means a job or 2.
Obama? Same old tired crap. By his own standards in 2008, he's failure, but we still need to "stay the course"... we've come so far, we can't turn around when we're so close to driving off the cliff!
I knew it was going to be a freaking circus, which is why I chose to watch the football season opener. I wonder if "Honey Boo-Boo" drew a bigger audience than old Mr. Wigglefinger. At least she's cute and fresh, vs. a tired old windbag with a voice like an out-of-tune bagpipe. What's funnier is that his wife wasn't even there to cheer her old man on.
THAT speaks volumes about Bill Clinton and his fading celebrity status.
And it says even more about the shrill Cirque Du Stupide that was the 2012 Democratic National Convention.
...when it comes to his idea that the Mainstream Media and the Press have a huge investment of their reputations tied up in Barack Obama, and their reactions to Paul Ryan's acceptance speech proves it.
The press, mainstream news, and left wing blogs are furiously fact-checking everything that comes from the mouths of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan and exploiting anything that doesn't suit their idea of what is "factually correct".
Take for example Ryan's comments about the GM plant that closed in spite of Obama's campaign promise to help it retool and stay open for another century.
The unified response is that "the decision was made by GM to close the plant before Obama took office".
Okay, guys, if that's true, it proves at best that Obama shot his mouth off again before checking his facts.
Here is the actual fact-checking article by the Washington Examiner, which contains copies of actual GM documents and is being virtually IGNORED by the mainstream media, Politifact, and Left Wing bloggers:
http://washingtonexaminer.com/article/2506462
There is also a slew of defenses over the claims that Ryan's speech was filled with lies:
http://washingtonexaminer.com/a-defense-of-paul-ryans-speech/article/2506511

http://www.freedomreport.org/era-of-media-fact-checkers-intimidating-republicans-is-over/
The REAL fact is that the mainstream media, left wing news channels, and left wing blogs are in unison on the 5 things they claim Paul Ryan lied about in his acceptance speech, even when they can be shown as factually incorrect in their criticisms.
Those sites which call themselves "fact checkers" are simply using the official DNC position as their reference point. Please don't lecture me on how biased Fox news is, when you have Rachel Maddow making factually incorrect assumptions against Conservatives, and blogs like HuffPo and Kos publishing anti-Republican hit pieces or lame op-eds that claim Fox News anchors are made up to look like prostitutes, for example.
These "fact-check" outlets are proving themselves to be Pravda-like tools of the Democrat Political machine, and people are beginning to wake up to this fact.
Go get 'em, Mr. Ryan. We believe you over the crapola being spewed by DNC mouthpieces like PolitiHack. com.
Vice President Joe Biden, an unintentional celebrity over his dumb, racially insensitive banter, has now proven he also knows nothing about business.
On the campaign trail, Obama's Loose Cannon was attacking his critics over their assertion that Biden doesn't know the difference between "outsourcing" and "offshoring".
"What difference does it make?" hollered Biden at his audience. "You don't have a job!"
BZZZZZZZZZZZT! Wrong, Mr. Biden.
It's obvious the V.P. needs better show-prep.
We know offshoring means domestic jobs leaving, Mr. Biden, but it's a fact that most of those jobs are low-tech and don't require much skill. Even call centers don't take an extraordinary amount of training, and yet the trend of sending those jobs to India came about because a lack of qualified people domestically.
AND, outsourcing doesn't mean sending jobs overseas, or even losing jobs, Mr. Vice President.
Outsourcing is a smart way for many small businesses to free up their limited resources on things that matter most, like growing your business.
A good friend of mine runs an outsource company, which performs accounting, payroll, and business operating services for small businesses. These small businesses don't need a full time accountant, and they don't need to spend a huge amount of their time with mundane but necessary accounting tasks.
Also, my friend's company employs five people.
No jobs are lost here, Mr. Biden. Outsourcing presents a unique opportunity for entrepreneurs to create specialized services to help insure success of other businesses. A doctor or lawyer running a private practice doesn't need to spend evenings running a Quickbooks program.
Also, my friend's company offers consulting services to help small businesses use available technology to operate their businesses more efficiently and even plan growth. And as needs grow, my friend's business will grow and hire more specialists.
SMART PEOPLE outsource when it makes sense and holds down bottom line. Since Joe Biden has been part of the Government Machine since The Who recorded "Quadrophenia", I guess he can't be expected to know how to run anything efficiently or within a budget.
Yet, he bloviates about it, anyway.
I'm wondering at this point if Mr. Obama has considered the merits of outsourcing Biden's function to a more professionally run service.
Nahhhhhh... Joe Biden has "experience", remember?
Remember folks, the Democrats have always run campaigns where they claim they are the party that really cares for Average Joe, who makes up the backbone of the U.S.A., while Republicans want to see Joe starving in the streets or enslaved to eeeeevil dea-end low-paying jobs.
Then just google around blogs or Craigslist political forums and feast your eyes on what labels Liberal Democrats have placed upon all that they hate:
The farmers who grow our food and meat are referred as to "hicks".
The guy who changes the oil in their expensive Prius or BMW is a "service monkey".
The legal firearms owner is a right wing gun nut.
Wal-Mart is a legalized slave plantation.
The stay-at-home mom is an idiot who has never worked a day in her life.
The religious believer is a deluded "fundie" who hates science.
The owner of a large personal vehicle is an environmental rapist.
Anybody without a college degree is an illiterate moron.
The Fox News audience is "brainwashed".
The Obama critic is a hooded Neo-Nazi.
The wealthy man is a lazy, profiteering pirate.
The unborn are parasites.
A Republican is a selfish, fat, buck-toothed, NASCAR-loving buffoon
Chick-Fil-A is a "junk food" restaurant.
All pastors are child molesters.
Ronald Reagan was the enemy of all mankind.
Pro-Life advocates screaming anti-abortion extremists.
The United States is the most selfish, wasteful nation on earth.
Feel free to add more labels as you wish!
And remember... "You didn't build that."
...the Lefty Democrats would be chirping in unison about what a wonderful chain of restaurants Chick-fil-A is, with the restaurants' offerings of fresh grilled white meat chicken, healthy sides of veggies, and air-popped fries.
Instead, CEO Dan Cathy's politically incorrect opinions about gay marriage have earned him such stellar criticisms from the Lefty Blog-o-Sphere as running a corporation that serves "junk food" and "crap on a bun".
Funny how that works, huh?
Say the wrong thing and The Left suddenly decides white meat chicken is "junk food".
Too funny!
Asked in a recent interview about President Obama's support for Israel, good old Motormouth Nancy once again stumbles out a barely intelligible comment about Obama's willingness to sell Israel military equipment.
Wow. Just wow. Let's forget that Obama insulted Benjamin Netanyahu and also bowed to our enemies. Lefties don't care that Obama supports Israel with lip service.
Does it ever occur to Nancy not to drink before a live interview?
And why is anybody even asking her about foreign policy? Isn't she the same fool who wasted millions of taxpayer dollars on a foreign visit to the same guy who the Syrian Rebels are currently trying to boot out of Damascus? You know, another fine member of the Muslim Brotherhood, namely Bashir Assad?
Mrs. Pelosi, stop trying to be Henry Kissinger. Every word he utters displays his infinite wisdom, while YOU, Mrs. Pelosi, can barely string together a handful of words.
Nancy Pelosi is proof of the ignorance of the tyipcal Northern California voter.
Right, Mr. President, American business didn't build the government infrastructure. If American business had been pivotal in the creation and operation of the government infrastructure, it would run a whole lot better than it does right now.
The infrastructure is incredibly expensive and poorly maintained, something American business would never tolerate. American business would slash the top-heavy, inefficient administration by dumping useless, overpaid managers, and increasing efficiency through automation.
This is how American business survives: by doing things better and holding down costs. Infrastructure just demands more money from the businesses and private citizens it claims to serve.
Thanks again, Mr. President, for not thinking before you speak.
If you're a business owner, according to President Obama, a.k.a. Mr. Big Government, you didn't build that business. You had all kinds of help from BIG GOVERNMENT, and BIG GOVERNMENT deserves the credit.
According to commentator Brit Hume, this is just another example of how your POTUS is entirely beholden to the primacy of BIG GOVERNMENT.
Obama, however, conveniently omitted where BIG GOVERNMENT got all the money that helped it grow so big and intrusive.
Taxes... from guess who? BUSINESS.
So, President Obama, who really helped who? And can we expect an honest answer from you?
Who knows?
The irony is that the Democrats are playing the Superior Morality Card and demanding the kind of transparency from Mitt Romney that Obama only lied about.
If the Democrats are so worried about "transparency", perhaps their POTUS should display some first.
After all, it was OBAMA who promised a "transparent" Administration.
Mitt Romney should offer more tax returns in exchange for Obama's college transcripts or other personal information he keeps blocking from scrutiny.
Ya think?
...to go and present himself before black people.
It took GUTS to walk into what could be perceived as enemy territory, and Mitt even scored a few points.
That, of course, escaped the brilliant mind of Nancy Pelosi, that gleaming tower of intellect, as she sputtered her comment about Romney purposely trying to get booed by the crowd. It's too bad the people of San Francisco aren't smart enough to see what a fool she is.
But I digress. Did you know Obama has yet to speak before the NAACP? Gee, I thought he was the 'black peoples' president.
I guess He can't find time between hanging out at George Clooney's house and jet-setting to Europe, not to mention his demanding golf schedule.
