Free Republic

Writing the lyrics, finding a conservative Olivia Newton John sound-alike, and a free recording studio was easy. What was hard? Finding someone to star in it. I assumed “Paul Ryan Girl” would be the same. Nope. No liberal would touch it. One woman at the casting call gave us a horrified look, “you mean this is pro-Ryan?” “Hmmm, yeah” She shuddered. No, she couldn’t do this and ran out of my house. Conservative actresses who had nary a commercial to their name refused. “It would hurt my career.” “My agent wouldn’t allow me to do this.” “My manager thinks it’s...

http://devour.com/video/who-won-last-nights-debate/ WHO WON LAST NIGHT'S DEBATE? Prankster extraordinaire Jimmy Kimmel hits Hollywood Boulevard to get the public's opinion on the presidential debate, four hours before the debate even started.

Now, the most important thing we can do is to make sure that we are creating jobs in this country, but not just jobs, good-paying jobs, ones that can support a family. And what I want to do is build on the 5 million jobs that we've created over the last 30 months in the private sector alone. And there are a bunch of things that we can do to make sure your future is bright. Number one, I want to build manufacturing jobs in this country again. You know, when Governor Romney said we should let Detroit go bankrupt,...

........“I heard the president speak at the time. I, sort of, reread a lot of stuff about Libya because I knew we’d probably get a Libya question so I kind of wanted to be up on it,” said Crowley. “I knew that the president had said, you know, these acts of terror won’t stand. Or, whatever the whole quote was.” “Right after that I did turn around and say, but you’re totally correct that they spent two weeks telling us this was about a tape and that that there was this riot outside the Benghazi consulate which there wasn’t,” Crowley...

Chris Matthews: If Obama's 'Getting Beaten Again' in Debate, People Will Switch to Yankees Game By Noel Sheppard Created 10/16/2012 - 5:53pm By Noel Sheppard | October 16, 2012 | 17:53 A A Noel Sheppard's picture MSNBC's Chris Matthews on Tuesday made a rather startling prediction about viewers of the upcoming presidential debate. "If it looks like [Obama's] getting beaten again, they’re going back to the fourth inning" of the Yankees-Tigers American League Championship game (video follows with transcript and commentary): CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST: I say it’s the first two minutes. People are watching the Yankees game from eight to...

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old rancher, whose hand was caught in the squeeze gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama and his role as our president. The old rancher said, “Well, ya know, Obama is a 'Post Turtle'.” Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him, what a 'post turtle' was. The old rancher said, “When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a...

...Crowley: President Obama, let me ask you, why did Mitt Romney politicize the tragic killing of our ambassador and three others in Libya? Obama: I’m glad you asked that, Candy. Crowley: Just trying to do my part. Obama: You always do. Candy, what few people know is that Mitt Romney was nowhere to be seen in the hours before the tragic killing of four Americans in Benghazi. I’m not sure whether he was giving a woman cancer, putting a dog on the roof of a car, cutting a gay kid’s hair, baptizing a dead Jew to satisfy the demands of...

Or would you have still backed Cain/Gingrich/Santorum/Christie/Palin (whoever your choice was from before or during the primary). I think it's an interesting question. Mitt wasn't my first choice, but am glad that he is doing so well. Would you now prefer Mitt over another who may or may not have done as well? Of course, I myself am a completely committed supporter of Mitt Romney since the primary was decided.

We know his energy was low in Denver. That he looked like he wanted to be anywhere else. That he looked churlish and peeved. And that he missed countless opportunities to raise issues or counter Mitt Romney’s assertions. Is it possible that Obama was too smart and talked over everyone’s heads? Or is it that Romney communicated more effectively? Those are both conclusions you could draw from analysis by Quantified Impressions, a personal communications analytics company.

Those of you who are working may not have the time to watch this 7-minute video just now, but this cartoon always makes me think of the MSM. To Duck -- Or Not To Duck.

The rift between “American Idol” judges Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj won’t last long, according to President Barack Obama. “You know what, I think that they are going to be able to sort it out. I am confident,” the president said when asked about the feud on Y100’s “The Yo! Show.” Obama hesitated to take sides in the fight, calling both women “outstanding artists.” Asked to pick his favorite beween the two, he said, “Mariah, she’s actually done some events for us, I’ve gotten to know her and Nick [Cannon], and she’s a wonderful lady. Nicki, I don’t know, but...

Fox News’ go-to psychiatrist, Keith Ablow, appeared on Fox & Friends Weekend to discuss Joe Biden‘s debate performance. After characterizing Biden’s laughter and frequent interruptions of Paul Ryan as attempts to discredit, diminish, or disrespect his opponent, Ablow added that “Joe Biden has shown tremendous disregard for the perspectives of others,” taking the Vice President to task for being dishonest about the number of undergraduate degrees he’s obtained and about having claimed he graduated at the top of his class. In fact, Ablow wrote about these same topics in an August, 16th FoxNews.com op-ed piece titled “Inside the mind of...

If anyone thought that the feisty Biden debate undid the massive damage the president did to himself in the first debate, the news isn't great. Biden does seem to have reversed the speed of Obama's free-fall but not the decline itself. Romney's debate obliteration of Obama - something that, in my view, irreparably damages a sitting president - does not seem to be a bounce, but a resilient jump. It's not going away by itself. That is: not a bounce. And if you were a low-information voter and watched the first debate with one man with energy and ideas (however...

Like father, like son. Jason Thompson, the son of former Gov. Tommy Thompson, was caught on video Sunday suggesting at a Republican event that voters this fall could send President Barack Obama back "to Kenya." "We have the opportunity to send President Obama back to Chicago - or Kenya," Jason Thompson, an attorney at Michael Best and Friedrich, said during a fall brunch hosted by the Kenosha County Republican Party.

When I asked Concord Monitor Editor Felice Belman last week about writing a column on PBS funding, I never imagined that President Obama would make it the central theme of his re-election strategy. The president has invoked the threat to Big Bird in every stump speech. As Jon Stewart remarked on The Daily Show, Obama's comparison of Wall Street to Sesame Street would have been a clever comeback during the first debate, but seemed pretty lame coming a day later when one of his speechwriters loaded it into a teleprompter. I've been a critic of Latte Welfare for several years....
