CRAZY JOE ON ANOTHER MAD RANT ...
MITT AND THE MEDIA: A MATCH MADE IN HELL ...
DEMOCRAT CROOKS AND RIGGED ELECTIONS

“They'll put y’all back in chains!” -- Crazy Joe Biden, speaking of Republicans during a campaign speech to a mostly-black Democrat audience in Danville, Va.

"We can win North Carolina again!" -- The same Crazy Joe, same speech in Danville, VIRGINIA.

Survey says ...
     50% of Likely U.S. Voters now have a favorable opinion of Ryan, while 32% view him unfavorably. -- Rasmussen

Has Romney inhaled John McCain's defeatism? Why in the name of sanity would he agree to debates moderated by a parade of ill-disguised leftists from PBS, CNN and the old alphabet networks, ABC and CBS? Anyone with an iota of political smarts knows that the questions will be loaded to emphasize Obama's talking points.
     One supposes its another example of Republican misguided "fairness." It's really more like helping print the invitations to your own execution. He's dealing with a bunch of Chicago thugs. He needs to behave accordingly.

Live in the 'burbs? You'd better pay attention to Stanley Kurtz in Forbes Magazine ...
     "As many Americans do not know, in the eyes of the leftist community organizers who trained Obama, suburbs are instruments of bigotry and greed — a way of selfishly refusing to share tax money with the urban poor.  Obama adopted this view early on, and he has never wavered from this ideological commitment, as a review of his actions in office goes to show.
      "President Obama’s plans for a second-term include an initiative to systematically redistribute the wealth of America’s suburbs to the cities."

So a young Michelle Obama wrote that hiring of Harvard faculty should be based on racial preferences rather than merit.

     Who's surprised? I didn't think so ...

Tell me you're a "progressive" and I'll tell you that you're a socialist/communist who doesn't have the guts to admit it.

"Mitt Romney put down his bet that he, with Paul Ryan’s help, can persuade Americans to put aside, if only briefly, the trivia of a culture obsessed with celebrity and entertainment and drunk on entitlement. Greece lies at the bottom of that cliff, and there is no love among the ruins." -- Wes Pruden, editor emeritus, Washington Times

How's this for a basic premise of any government aid program:
     Assistance for those unable to help themselves.
     Rejection for those unwilling to help themselves.
All other considerations are details and minutiae, and should not take precedence over those two fundamentals.

I still hear from folk who, disappointed that their own favorite in the erstwhile field of Republican presidential candidates failed to survive the primaries, lament the fact that Romney didn't select their favorite from that field for the VP slot.
     A moment's thought should make it obvious that such a choice would be ... well, stupid.
     All it would accomplish would be supplying Obama with a virtually endless source of negative quotes from the primary campaign attacking Romney for incorporation into his commercials. "Rick Santorum said of Mitt ...," "Newt Gingrich said ...," etc.

Democrat (alleged) comedian Al Franken got elected to the U.S. Senate from Minnesota by 312 votes in a race that was later found to have 1,099 votes illegally cast by convicted felons. Yet the same Democratic Party tries to maintain that illegal voting is so rare as to present no real problem.
     It's very simple. Democrats are the party of crooks, still insisting that limiting voting to those legally entitled is "suppressing the vote."

Does anyone over the age of ten really take that silly CNN twit Soledad O'Brien seriously?

As Facebook stock tumbles toward half its original offering price, we cynics who called the whole thing a bunch of juvenile bull-bleep are looking smarter and smarter.

From "The Redneck Book of Manners" ...
     Never take a beer to a job interview.
     It is considered poor taste to take a cooler to church.
     If you have to vacuum the bed, it's time to change the sheets.
     Even if you're sure you are included in the will, it is tacky to pull a U-Haul to the funeral home.

Jay Leno --
    "Congratulations to Mexico.  They upset Brazil to win a gold medal in men's soccer.  And after the Olympics ended, the Mexican soccer team, of course, returned home to their houses here in Los Angeles."

    ...and reader Phil reminds us of a classic overheard at the Olympics...
    "Are you a pole vaulter?
    "No...I'm German and how did you know my name was Valter?"
Lee Rodgers"...and now, if you'll excuse me..."
