THE GROWING PARASITE FACTOR ...
SURPRISE! PART OF MITT VIDEO MISSING
“The trick is, How do we structure government systems that pool resources and hence facilitate some redistribution? — because I actually believe in redistribution, at least at a certain level to make to make sure everybody has got a shot.” Commissar Obama at Loyola University, October 1998.
Karl Marx couldn't have put it better, trying to lure in the suckers: "Just a little communism. You'll love it."

Now we learn whether Romney has the cojones to explain in clear English what Obama meant when he said he believes in "redistribution."
"Redistribution" literally means, "I want to take money away from people who earn it and give it to people who didn't earn it."
We are a compassionate nation. We DO take care of those who can't care for themselves. But we are overburdened with leeches who can take care of themselves, but won't.
If Mitt Romney can't, or won't, enunciate that message clearly he will lose -- and so will the nation.

Cutting to the chase ... getting to the point ... confronting reality:
Only dung-brained media leftists and the able-bodied freeloaders could possibly object to Mitt Romney pointing out the FACT that we DO have millions of these parasites leeching off working people. And Obama is their hero because he learned the liberal lesson long ago: Nothing is more fun that spending other people's money.

Now Mother Jones, the left-wing magazine that released the video of Mitt Romney's remarks about the 47% of Americans who pay no income tax, admits that it was "selectively edited" and is missing "one or two minutes."
It was ... "inadvertent."
Of course.
Doesn't really matter. The point Romney made was 100% correct.

A political note ...
Pro football's Tim Tebow says that when his playing days are over, he'd consider running for office.
Good thinking, Tim. Run ... don't throw.

Jay Leno --
"According to the Labor Department, unemployment fell from 8.3 percent to 8.1 percent last month. But that's because 368,000 Americans gave up looking for work. Today, President Obama said that's a step in the right direction, and he is encouraging more Americans to give up looking for work."

Thomas Sowell sounds the alarm for Republicans who are -- again -- making the mistake of over-estimating the knowledge and/or intelligence of the public ...
"One of the biggest of the election year lies is that Republicans want to sacrifice the poor in order to have "tax cuts for the rich." That would be grossly immoral -- if it were true. Unscrambling the confusion in that argument can involve work. But if people on welfare can be expected to work, surely people running for high office can put in a little work too -- including the work of explaining in plain words what is totally false about the "tax cuts for the rich" argument.
"But so long as Republicans don't seem to feel any urgency about refuting the Democrats' claim that they just want to help the rich at the expense of the poor, they are courting defeat on election day. Why lose to a lie because you didn't bother to explain the truth?"

"Instead of pointing fingers and placing blame, Barack got to work ..." -- Michelle Obama, September 17, 2012
Yes, indeed -- and he's improved his golf game tremendously.

Usually I have a high regard for columnist Byron York, but when his column is headlined, "Romney will be judged on actions, not coverage," I suggest he is flat-out wrong.
The coverage by the so-called "news media" is what most people will learn about Romney. And his ability to take substantive action is limited by one reality: He does not yet hold office.
Instead, his most potent weapon is hard-hitting plain speaking. He's never going to win the "nice guy" war, even though he is and Obama is an egomaniacal, self-aggrandizing phony.

Here is the reality that Mitt Romney is really facing.
Michael Knox Beran (National Review Online) examines the road map the lying leftist media are using on our road to hell ...
"Today America’s Fourth Estate (media) is not merely predisposed, as it has been for generations, to favor a particular political party: It is deeply engaged in the hero worship of a particular political leader. The closeness of mainstream journalists to President Obama has debauched their integrity. Some of them give the White House veto authority over their stories.
"Like the decadents of France’s ancien régime, the liberal literati of mainstream journalism are convinced that the party will go on forever. Islamic zealots can be talked out of making nuclear bombs; stagnant growth and high unemployment can be counteracted with a Caesarian policy of bread and shows, free food and even free cell phones; a moribund economy can be propped up with the saline drip of Ben Bernanke’s liquidity transfusions.
"Having been corrupted into a semi-official state press, America’s mainstream media is now transforming the most important election in a generation into the political equivalent of an episode of The Bachelor.
"This is how republics die, in thrall to the inane, the frivolous, and the inconsequential."

Argus Hamilton --
"Barack Obama will attend a fundraiser held by actor Jonathan Goldsmith, who plays The Most Interesting Man in the World in Dos Equis beer commercials. All the ads have to be re-shot. Now he says he doesn't always drink, but when he does, he drinks the Kool-Aid."

Melissa gets down to where the gritty is nitty ...
"Hey media people...way to go! Way to deflect attention from the Muslims killing Americans by having Romney's secretly-taped speech edited and taken out of context, as your "top story." 47% may be a little high, but there ARE people living off the government. You know it and I know it. They've done it for generations.
"Instead of passing down integrity and good work ethic to their children, they teach them how to have more babies, neglect them and still get a check. They teach them how to qualify for 'crazy checks,' get food stamps and sell them for cash. They pass down the victim mentality and sense of entitlement. Maybe Romney just has the balls to say what we all have been thinking for years, but were too scared we'd be labeled as 'racists.'"
