  • Evidence Proving Obama Was in U.S. during 9/11 attacks is Scant.

    A search of the internet reveals little evidence, other than Obama's own testimony, that he was actually in the U.S. during the 9/11 attacks by radical Muslims. Although he was a Senator at the time. Could he have been watching from over seas? Indonesia? Saudi Arabia?

    Vanity | 11 September 2012 | areukiddingme1
    I have been thinking about how to put this in writing for several weeks now, and then it occurred to me, America is one election away from becoming “the fat kid.” The kid on the playground that is nice, but no one wants on their team. The kid that gets a trophy for showing up because “it boosts his self esteem.” The kid that earns Cs and spends hours eating cheetos and playing on the x-box. The kid who’s Mom still cuts up his fruit and still cuts the crust off his sandwiches. The kid, who still doesn’t drive, doesn’t...

    Obama Campaing Email
    Huge news: We finally closed the gap. We outraised Mitt Romney and the Republicans $114 million to $111 million in August. Unbelievable. After three straight months of getting beat -- and not by a small margin -- more than 1,170,000 supporters made a donation to close the gap. We can't let up for one second. These August numbers don't reflect outside group fundraising or spending -- and in that category we're still getting thrashed. Right before the conventions, we were being outspent by super PACs alone in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, North Carolina, Virginia, and Wisconsin. That margin was more than...
  • Chinese Solar Company Learns Cronyism with Harry Reid

    A solar company project that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid successfully lured to Clark County, Nev. – where his son Rory was a former commissioner and now lobbies on behalf of the Chinese company that owns it – now wants the dominant utility in the state to buy its electricity. said in a July 30 online conference that ENN “would start tomorrow if NV Energy would purchase the power,” according to a Reuters report. Adding that the utility controls 95 percent of all of the electricity that is produced in Nevada, Reid also said, “they should go along with this.”...

    This 2.5" campaign button was handed to me  at the door of the BGSU auditorium in 1984... Following that Bowling Green, Ohio appearance, I had the good fortune of seeing the Gipper up-close the very next day: after catching word that he was about to make a whistle-stop tour appearance on the historic Pullman car Ferdinand Magellan at Ohio Rt. 25 up in nearby Perrysburg, the boys piled in my '75 Firebird Formula and we roared up there in time to see Reagan from just 50-75 yards away. The President was dynamite, too- he owned the crowd. After famously asking...

    , thank you for an amazing week. Barack and I felt your energy up there. But we can't let that energy fade -- because in just 60 days, voters will decide who gets to serve in the White House for the next four years. So every single one of us has got to pull together to finish strong. I know you feel the urgency: Already this week, supporters like you have made more than 500,000 grassroots donations to build this campaign. So if you're fired up, let's keep it going -- let's see how many people we can get to...

    Excerpts just released from Obama's acceptance speech tonight suggest that he is going to make a major appeal to voters to give him four more years to finish the job; in part by pledging that he will NOT play another round of golf while he is in the White House, until every American has a job and enjoys affordable health care.

    I have two tuxedos. Momma and Lady. Both about five years old. Momma is a finicky eater. Lady eats anything put in front of her. They're both rescues a year apart, as I took them in from the woods. They had to have been abandoned. They took to the house and proceeded to take it over. That's Okay I enjoy their company except when they wake me up at four in the morning and say "feed us"!Now the question:Momma used to drink from my aquarium and indoor fountain. no problems. I finally got her to drink from a drinking bowl....

    WSBT-TV Report 11:08 p.m. EDT, August 13, 2012 ELKHART -- A controversial billboard in Elkhart has been drawing a lot of attention-- both negative and positive this month. But Monday, protesters gathered at the billboard to argue its message. The billboard, paid for by a tea party group called "We the People of Marshall and Fulton County", is posted near Nappanee Street and John Weaver Parkway in Elkhart. It says: "The Navy Seals removed one threat to America. The voters must remove the other."

    Regarding the DNC Convention.. How dare the Democrats honor a creep who plunged his car into a channel at Chappaquiddick then departed the scene out of concern only for himself, while his passenger Mary Jo Kopechne drown in his car. What kind of 'compassionate man' does this? What are they smoking at the DNC convention? Is Ted Kennedy's behavior that night simply erased from history along with Barack Obama's close ties to a man who attempted to bomb our Pentagon (Bill Ayers)?SENATOR KENNEDY WAITED 10 HOURS TO REPORT HIS ACCIDENT, without any regard to the well-being of the woman in...

    In the two decades since they slipped out of Mexico and into the shadow world of illegal immigrants, Concepcion Mendoza and his wife, Ibed, have made a passable life in America. They've labored at farms, packing houses, and fast-food joints on both coasts, settling eventually in a rented house in South Jersey. They produced three sons, all U.S. citizens born on U.S. soil. One day last March, with the boys at school, Ibed was at work, cooking and cleaning at a Vineland, N.J., church, when her phone showed a missed call from an unfamiliar number, and three from Concepcion. Apprehensive,...
