More humor from the lamestream media:
“”"”"”"“”””””””””””Mitt Romney has had a tough couple of weeks on the campaign trail — and it shows in the latest Fox News poll. After a barrage of campaign ads, negative news coverage of his overseas trip and ongoing talk about his tax returns, Romney’s favorable rating and standing in the trial ballot have declined. As a result, President Obama has opened his biggest lead since Romney became the presumptive Republican nominee.
The president would take 49 percent of the vote compared to Romney’s 40 percent in a head-to-head matchup if the election were held today, the poll found. Last month, Obama had a four percentage-point edge of 45 percent to 41 percent. This marks the second time this year the president has had a lead outside the poll’s margin of sampling error.””””””””””””

You became a liberal because you couldn’t live with yourself otherwise? Did you know that top ten states that donate most to charity are red states, and the bottom ten are blue states? This has been proven in study after study, even by researchers who admittedly EXPECTED the opposite result. Even self-fulfilling prophecy isn’t enough to change the results. You won’t hear about it on the nightly news, though. It doesn’t fit their narrative…..

It reminds me of a story. I do not know if you have read it. A young lad stopped by while I was working in the yard. He said, when I grow up I want to be President and give all the homeless a new home. His parents beamed with pride[they were liberal democrats]. I said, why wait, go to work and clean up my yard and I will give you $50.00 and you can go down to the corner and give it to a homeless guy and he can start saving for a new home. The boy replied, “why can’t he come over and work for the money.” I said, “welcome to the Republican party.”

to Independent thinker at 5:58 PM — yes it’s true that the last Fox News poll you reference had Obama ahead 49% – 40%. But that’s now old news. A new Fox News poll was released at 6 PM tonight and it now shows Romney ahead 45% – 44%. The new poll is now just among likely voters. Obama is in a lot of trouble. The dishonest liberal msm may still pull it out for Obama as they have an unmatched ability to control the narrative by focusing attention on anything negative regarding Republicans and ignoring or minimizing anything negative about Obama and Democrats . Nonetheless, the election is trending away from Obama. It’s Romney’s election to win. If he’s able to make a connection with his convention speech and then during the 3 debates, Obama will be toast. Those are the 4 opportunities Romney will have to talk directly to large swaths of the electorate unfiltered by the liberal msm.

As for the college graduates…I’m not so sure that’s such a plus given the general level of literacy of those coming out of the diploma factories these days…you might want to look at the stats there..surf around the site…some of the blue states have considerably higher rates of illiteracy than some of the more “backward” red states…

Poll: As conventions open, a more negative view of politics

Views of the political parties have soured. For the first time at this point in at least six elections, voters are inclined to see both the Republican and Democratic parties unfavorably.

Obama gets more blame for negative attacks than he did in 2008. Then, 30% accused him of attacking his Republican opponent unfairly; now 44% do. In contrast, 40% say Romney is attacking Obama unfairly, compared with 48% who said that of McCain four years ago.

In 2008, 25% said both candidates would make good presidents. Now, just 12% do

Yup. That’s why we need to get back to the old system, where we sock it to the currently insured to pay for the people who don’t have health insurance. And let’s allow insurance companies to cancel the policies of people who get sick and maybe establish a pretty low lifetime cap on benefits. Insurance companies are people too, my friend. And oh yes, let’s get rid of that socialistic Medicare. Give the old coots a voucher and tell ‘em to go look for pop bottles in order to pay their $6,000 share.

One should read any published information completely to understand the ramifications of work.

“Come October, 2,211 hospitals will have their Medicare reimbursements reduced by as much as 1 percent, records show. It’s part of a new effort, authorized by the Affordable Care Act, to get hospitals to pay more attention to ensuring that patients receive the care they need after they leave. Nearly 1 in 5 Medicare beneficiaries is readmitted within a month.”

And how long do you think that Hospitals will be able to absorb being “fined” if they admit sick patients on medicare or medicaid twice in one month because of Obamacare? The answer? Not long. This is just another one of those nasty details that Pelosi alluded to that would be found out after the bill was passed. Get used to this. Obamacare hasn’t even started in its nastiness and won’t come into full bloom until 2014 (unless repealed or redone). The old will be the first to be sacrificed under this piece of garbage. Innovation in medical technology will now be stymied because of its severe taxes on medical devices. The medicare cuts will be felt immediately in 2014 and even with all of this, the cost of medical care will continue to rise beyond sustainable limits. Another words, Obamacare was an ill conceived and hastily passed piece of garbage legilstation and the Democrats for years to come will not be able to hide from their support of it. Of course Pelosi, Obama and Reid will be living in luxury not having to live under the rules of the act and they will be laughing at all of you fools that supported it.

The liberal msm network stories about Mormonism are part of a subtle strategy to try and suppress the Evangelical vote. It’s actually pretty transparent to see if you’re a student of politics and the way the msm is deployed as an arm of the Democratic Party. Expect to see Mormon subtly dropped in a lot more in news stories and columns in the run-up to Election Day. The fact that they’re resorting to this is a sign that they think Obama is in a lot of trouble, far more than is being let on.

One thing to remember about Ayn Rand was the fact that she was Russian. With the Czars, Russia was very much a top down society. As westerners, our democratic traditions go back at least as far as the Magna Charta. It’s really hard for me to understand why so many of our fellow Americans buy into this nonsense of society owing it’s existence to a select group of elites, fully deserving the lions share of what the society produces, while generously allowing the rest of us to bask in the glory of their radiance. Give us a break.

As for this nonsense about our wealthy benefactors leaving us because we didn’t appreciate them, or were too stupid to understand the true depth of their genius, Isn’t that what they did when the Titanic went down. The first class passengers were given access to the life boats while the riff raff were locked in the lower levels. A good con man always stays one step ahead of the suckers.

however, If you really enjoy reading bizarre works of fantasy, why stop with Atlas Shrugged? Why don’t you check out the Book of Mormon.
