Charlie Daniels Column: The Clock Is Ticking, America
I sometimes wonder how far some Americans are going to stick their heads in the sand and pretend that the policies Obama is putting in place will actually bring the American economy back to prosperity. I wonder if some people even really care about what we have already done to the generations to follow, what kind of future they will have, burdened with the debt being left to them.
I can't…
Shock: NBC's Lauer Uses Obama's Own Words to Knock Down Attacks on Rya
On Monday's NBC Today, co-host Matt Lauer actually used the President's own past statements about Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan to grill deputy Obama campaign manager Stephanie Cutter: "President Obama said this of Paul Ryan, that he was 'absolutely sincere about wanting to reduce the deficit'...gave him 'credit for at least being willing to put out there some very tough…
Obama Shill? Soledad O'Brien Says Factually-Correct GOP Claim Was 'Deb
What exactly is Soledad O'Brien arguing? On Monday's Starting Point she slapped away a factual statement that President Obama has cut Medicare funding by $700 billion as "debunked" and "very much political spin."
"But I have to tell you as I'm sure you know, that 700 million dollar figure has been – billion dollar figure has been debunked by CNN and the Congressional Budget Office," O'Brien…
Bob Schieffer Falsely Claims Ryan Budget 'Really Slashes Into Social P
On Monday's CBS This Morning, Bob Schieffer again forwarded the liberal talking point that GOP vice presidential apparent Paul Ryan's budget plan would drastically cut federal spending.

MSNBC's Roberts Tags Ryan As 'Conductor' of Congressional Train; Erron
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) will be problematic for Romney as his running mate because "he's been one of the major conductors of the train in Washington, D.C.," Thomas Roberts insisted in an interview on Monday with Republican National Committee communications director Sean Spicer. The MSNBC anchor also falsely charged that "the polls show that Republicans in Washington are far less popular than…
George Stephanopoulos Introduces Ryan as 'Former Prom King That Once D

Scott Rasmussen Column: Government Has No Business Dabbling In Busines
Just 16 percent of voters nationwide believe it was a good idea for the government to provide Solyndra with loan guarantees. The solar power company went bankrupt and stuck taxpayers with the tab for a half-billion dollars.
The Obama administration generally has responded to questions about the program in the way a venture capital firm would respond to questions about a portfolio loss. They…
Ryan’s Not the First: Media’s History of Trashing GOP Vice Preside
Almost as soon as word leaked that Mitt Romney had chosen Paul Ryan as his running mate, liberal reporters stepped forward to help define the Wisconsin congressman as too conservative, a heartless budget-slasher who might repel as many votes as he might attract to the GOP ticket. Chris Matthews, for example, on Saturday derided Ryan as someone whose plan “really screws the people who…
Halperin: Press Corps Biggies Are Pro-Obama, But Like Paul Ryan
An interesting—encouraging?—comment and admission from Mark Halperin on today's Morning Joe. The MSNBC political analyst said that "almost every national political reporter knows Paul Ryan, likes Paul Ryan, more than they do Mitt Romney. And that gives Romney a little bit of an edge that he was missing, which is pro-Obama in the press corps."
Halperin's comment came immediately after Joe…
In Obama Ad, Actress Offers Tampon TMI, But Can't Say the Word 'Aborti
Actress Elizabeth Banks made a campaign video for Obama-Biden 2012 – just barely. Almost the entire 75 seconds is a defense of Planned Parenthood and their “essential services,” which is the euphemism feminists use to describe America’s leading provider of abortions.
In fact, Banks could not bring herself to even mention the word or the concept of abortions, except indirectly as “that little…
Wasserman-Schultz: 'I Have No Idea' Of Political Affiliation Of People
Serious question: is there anything—anything!—Debbie Wasserman-Schultz won't say to promote Barack Obama?
On Fox News Sunday, interviewed by guest host John Roberts, the Chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee somehow managed to keep a straight face as she brazenly claimed: "I have no idea of the political affiliation of folks who are associated" with Priorities USA, the Super PAC…
CBS Still Claiming Obama's 'You Didn't Build That' Was About Infrastru
Incredible. CBS News has an anti-Romney "fact check" article up this morning supposedly debunking statements made by Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan during yesterday's introduction of the veep pick. At the end, CBS actually snuck in the hyper-partisan, DNC-talking-point assertion that it was "clear" that when President Obama utttered his infamous "you didn't build that", he was talking about "…
Sour Andrea Mitchell: Paul Ryan as VP Is 'Not a Pick for Women' or 'Su
Minutes after Paul Ryan was introduced as Mitt Romney's vice presidential nominee, Saturday, a sour Andrea Mitchell dismissed the choice: "This is not a pick for suburban moms. This is not a pick for women."
Playing off the GOP congressman's first speech as the presumptive nominee, Mitchell lectured, "I think that you're going to see that they [Team Romney] have decided that this is a base…
