A source on the Rick Perry campaign tells Hot Air that the Texas governor conducted some Texas-size fundraising in the third quarter. Coming in just a little over halfway through, Perry raised $17.1 million. That number would put Perry somewhere between $4-6 million ahead of Mitt Romney’s rumored total for Q3, according to this report last week from the Boston Globe. It’s also likely to far outpace Herman Cain’s fundraising or that of the other Republicans currently in the race. The pace is even more impressive. Perry had 49 days in which to raise funds, rather than the full 92...

"There are several political signs attracting all kinds of attention in one Uptown neighborhood. On Wednesday, crowds gathered at the corner of Calhoun and Coralie streets, looking at several signs depicting President Barack Obama as either a dunce, a puppet or a crying baby in a diaper."

Regardless of your political persuasion, most of us have a sense of pride knowing that President Barack Obama hails from Hyde Park on the South Side of Chicago, just a stone’s throw from Northwest Indiana. Yet, there are times when we would prefer that the president watch what he says when talking about Chicago — specifically the city’s professional sports teams. (Snip) Then, Obama did the unthinkable by saying, “Well, if I’m a part owner, I think ... we should initiate a trade to send (Packers quarterback Aaron) Rodgers down to the Bears.”

2012 is right around the corner and we all need to express ourselves clearly to our reps, to those around us, to our family and friends and neighbors about the importance of this election for our country, for our liberty, and way of life. I urge everyone to exercise their 1st amendment rights. Show up and let your voice be heard and do not let your input to townhalls, Tea Parties, demonstrations, calls to your reps, forums, etc. be sileced. Here are some posters I like that can help make those expressions. Feel free to use them however you see...

Who doesn't love a good rant? We certainly do, I believe in Las Vegas. I think its best days are ahead of it. But I'm afraid to do anything in the current political environment in the United States. You watch television and see what's going on on this debt ceiling issue. And I'm saying it bluntly, that this administration is the greatest wet blanket to business, and progress and job creation in my lifetime. Well, my customers and the companies that provide the vitality for the hospitality and restaurant industry, in the United States of America, they are frightened of...

John Bolton, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, announced today he is considering a bid for U.S. president in 2012. It was his first direct response to months of Internet speculation that he may join the next presidential race. Bolton was speaking to WND senior reporter Aaron Klein on the latter's investigative radio show on WABC in New York. "Yes, I am considering it," Bolton said when asked if he is considering a 2012 presidential run. "I am very concerned about the direction of national security policy." Continued Bolton: "I am concerned that we hardly talk about it...

Israel’s version of the Tea Party movement held its opening rally on Sunday evening. Several dozen people attended the event which was held the at Zionist Organization of America house in Tel Aviv. The new grassroots effort is modeled after the American conservative social movement and has promised to be just as patriotic, provocative and antagonistic to United States President Barack Obama. Former Likud MK Michael Kleiner, one of the rally’s main organizers, explained that the purpose of the Tea Party movement is to send a clear message to Obama that he should not force Israelis to go against their...

The owner of a Grand Junction company located beneath a controversial billboard of President Barack Obama is glad the sign is now gone. Doris Downey, owner of J&S Fence Co., 2886 Interstate 70 Business Loop, said she neither supported nor opposed the message the sign was intended to convey, but its presence was a major disruption to her business. “It was hard for my trucks to get out and hard for customers to come in,” Downey said hours after the sign was taken down Friday morning. “I defend the freedom of speech people have to put up the sign, but...

A new analysis of political signs displayed at a tea party rally in Washington last month reveals that the vast majority of activists expressed narrow concerns about the government's economic and spending policies and steered clear of the racially charged anti-Obama messages that have helped define some media coverage of such events. Emily Ekins, a graduate student at UCLA, conducted the survey at the 9/12 Taxpayer March on Washington last month by scouring the crowd, row by row and hour by hour, and taking a picture of every sign she passed. Ekins photographed about 250 signs, and more than half...

American Jews, 78% of whom voted to make Barack Obama president are continuing to move away from Obama and his policies. According to a survey conducted by the American Jewish Committee (AJC) , 51% of Jews approve of the way Obama is doing his job. While that number may seem high keep in mind that the AJC poll conducted in March 2010, showed the president with a 58% approval.

There is an anti-Obama billboard comparing President Obama to Fidel Castro in Gladewater, TX. The billboard has pictures of Obama and Castro with the word "Change" over their heads and "Vote Obama" under their portraits. Off to the right side the text reads "Coming Our Way". Someone poured gasoline at the base and started a fire. The billboard is at the top of a 30-foot-pipe and was undamaged. KTBB AM600 reported: GLADEWATER- Fire investigators are looking for the person who they say tried to set an Anti-Obama billboard on fire. KETK reports it happened Sunday morning on Highway 80 in...

It's 81 days to the election. Expect many of them to be filled with the explanations Democrats are now serving up as to why Nov. 2 is likely to be a terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad day. History is against us (they mourn); the party in power usually loses seats in midterms. The economy is horrible (they bewail); and that, of course, is George W. Bush's fault. America woke up on the wrong side of the Posturepedic (they lament); voters are in an anti-incumbent mood, and we've got a fistful of incumbents. All true, to some pitiable degree.

can't understand what their problem is, but Barton Community College in Great Bend, Kansas is taking down their advertising billboard because an anti-Obama billboard is directly above it. The anti-Obama billboard above their college billboard is completely accurate and acceptable. The anti-Obama billboard says, “Obama is a fraud. Demand resignation now. God bless America.” I can't imagine what their problem is with the billboard's message. Picture is here.

A groundswell of support is building in anticipation of the upcoming anti-Obama demonstration set for this coming Sunday, April 25, in New York City, outside the Israel Consulate. According to organizer Beth Gilinsky, head of the Jewish Action Alliance, groups are still calling to express their support and register for the event. More than 21 Jewish and other organizations have already signed on to the event. Thousands are expected to attend the rally, which Gilinsky said will give voice to the increasing disillusionment with the president that Jews and others have expressed, including many who voted Obama into office. “The...

Businessman evicted from US Mall for Anti-Obama Merchandise PDF Print E-mail Monday, 28 September 2009 Dan Fuchs said business was just starting to pick up at his kiosk in the Mall at Johnson City. Fuchs’ business, the Graphic Edge, printed slogans and pictures on items such as coffee cups, bumper stickers and T-shirts. He said more than half of his business came from the sale of anti-Obama merchandise. Bumper stickers with slogans such as “SOS: Stop Obama’s Socialism,” “Nobama,” and “Chicago got the party, but the country got the hangover” were displayed around the small stand. Now it appears Fuchs...

WASHINGTON (AFP) – A southern conservative lawmaker breaks decorum and hollers "You Lie," at the president in Congress. Protesters display guns at venues where the president is speaking. And a movement arises alleging that the president's birth certificate is forged. To some, it is clear that the burgeoning opposition to President Barack Obama is rooted in racism, driven by whites' discomfort with the fact that the United States is now led by an African-American president. A series of Democratic lawmakers and political columnists have pointed to the trends -- the heckling, the gun-toting, the preachers leading congregations in prayers that...
