Why undecideds should vote for Romney
Romney clinched my vote when he chose Paul Ryan as his running mate because that showed he is serious about restoring the United States to fiscal health. Today I’m going to vote with my 96-year-old father, then I’m on stand-by as a volunteer with my county’s Republican organization to take voters to the polls, especially …
Candid video — Obama rips Axelrod on dog-eating debacle
I made this video because I could not help imagining Obama’s conversation with David Axelrod over making him a dog-eating meme laughingstock until the end of time. The Obama campaign is working hard to create distractions from Obama’s record. The image of the Romney’s Irish setter, Seamus, having bouts of diarrhea in his kennel strapped …

Obama’s record on Israel
This video is about 30 minutes, but it is a handy summary of Obama’s record on Israel. It is important because what Obama says and what he promises always have to be tracked. What he says must be checked to see if it is consistent with other statements on that issue — or if what …
‘Get ready for the nastiest political campaign season you’ve ever seen’
“From the people who brought you hope and change“: White House reporter Keith Koffler explains how Obama is now setting up the Republicans to take the blame for all his failures: Obama must make his proposals as big a deal as possible, so that everyone knows how hard he’s “trying to help.” That’s why he’s …

Stacy McCain asks, ‘Why does Ann Althouse refuse to own up to being a rube?’
It’s a fair question. And dear Stacy was and is right, right, right, while Prof. Althouse was and is wrong, wrong, wrong. Here’s what Prof. Althouse wrote that set dear Stacy off — and gave me a big enough shot of adrenalin that I’m up past my bedtime writing about it, too: This is how …

Vodkapundit drunkblogs Obama’s Libya speech — and sticks the landing
I don’t drink and seldom take painkillers stronger than ibuprofen or Excedrin Migraine, so sometimes I don’t listen to Obama’s speeches because there is only so much pain I can bear without chemical assistance. But dear Vodkapundit is made of sterner stuff. After fortifying himself for the task, Vodkapundit posted this contemporaneous account of Obama’s …

Obama administration strangles new Calvert Cliffs nuclear reactor with red tape, blames victim
From Memeorandum I see that the Washington Post reports that the Obama administration has killed a new nuclear reactor at Calvert Cliffs in Maryland by setting terms for approving it that made it economically unfeasible in order to force Constellation Energy to cancel the project. Or, that’s what actually happened if you know how to …
