Liberals perceive tax cuts as giving something to the rich. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Tax cuts allow the rich and poor alike to keep more of the money they earned rather than give it to nameless, faceless and largely unaccountable bureaucrats to distribute.
President Obama and other Democrats like to point out that we can’t afford to return to the failed policies of the Bush administration, trying to link Romney to Bush so that Obama can run against Bush again rather than run on his own record.
It made me stop and think, what if Bush never did leave office?
he was yukking it up on The View where he made what may have been the most honest assessment of his presidency, “I’m just the eye candy.” Even the court eunuchs in the mainstream press couldn’t ignore this one, and Obama took on some friendly fire from his own. Conservatives naturally blasted Obama for this, but I say… “So what?”
Yes, I agree that the president should be acting like, well, a leader. That’s just not one of his skill sets – anyone who did any homework on his background knows that he’s never had a real leadership role (much less a real job) in his life. He’s never shown any aptitude to be a leader, so why would we expect him to behave like one?
A favorite but of misinformation from the left is its assertion that Bush’s tax cuts for the wealthy are one of the main causes of our federal government’s fiscal woes. …
Barring some unforeseen cataclysm, Mitt Romney will be the 45th president of the United States… and the vote will likely not even be close. His acceptance speech at the GOP convention last week did exactly what it had to do, it provided Americans who might have been sitting on the fence with the nudge they needed to climb down and pull the lever for him. If you had to distill his speech down to one line, it might have been “President Obama promised to begin to slow the rise of the oceans and heal the planet. MY promise…is to help you and your family.”
Calling an upcoming presidential election the most important in our times has become a cliche, but this time I agree with it. The fact that the current election is expected to be close is disturbing at best, and terrifying at worst. The same people who decried George W. Bush’s economy and in 2004 were asking if you’re better off than you were four years ago then are now willing to overlook the fact that the economy is in far worse shape than it was during the Bush presidency.
That one speech gets to the core of the vision of America that voters are faced with in November. Barack Obama wants to take care of everyone, but he wants the government to do it with your money. Contrast that approach with Mitt Romney’s.
Without a doubt November is going to bring us the single most important election in the United States since 1860. At that time too the country was on the verge …
An election is not about thanking someone for a job well done… or even the Alice in Wonderland perception of a job well done… but rather a Presidential election is about doing what’s best for the country over the next four years. If hiring a President was a reward for a service rendered, John McCain would be president. He served in the Senate for decades, he authored one of the most important (not to be confused with good…) pieces of legislation in decades and he proved his valor and mettle during five years in a North Vietnamese prison.
Way back in 2007 crony capitalism was a bad thing. For years the left had been telling anyone who would listen that the Bush administration was in bed with the oil industry and that Haliburton was given preferential treatment because of its friends in the White House and as a result ended up bilking the government out of millions if not billions of dollars.
