Ahhh, thank heaven the circuses are over, and political discord can advance to the next-to-last stage of smash mouth positioning.    Both sides have had their turn at their highly visible, yet self-indulgent, pep rallies and now it’s time to get down to business.

Smash Mouth Politics

The remainder of September will be filled with punch, and counter-punch, bantering with media pundits keeping score on who lands the most effective blows.   Let the Games Begin, only this year certainly looks more like a cage match blood sport in the works.

Desperation always brings out the very ugliest in Democrats, the more desperate they are the more ugly they become.   Remember the fleabaggers in Wisconsin who bolted for Illinois when they were crushed in the election?   Yup, it is THAT exact level of despair amid the closed circle types of left-wing politicos we are about to witness.

Update 10:00pm –DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz and DNC mouthpiece Patrick Gasparad cancel all media appearances while they engage in damage control and coordinate a recovery message.  Reports DNC backroom leaders spinning wildly out of control and off message. 

Update 8:00pm – In typical Democrat manner, the decision to change the platform back was “baked into the cake”.  Regardless of the delegates  votes, the party leadership had decided the risk of exposing their TRUE beliefs was too great.   Here is the proof:  The picture was taken at 6:14 and 09 seconds at the exact moment after the Yea – Nay votes were requested, showing what Villaraigosa was to say next.   There was simply NO OPTION for mayor Villaraigosa to tell the truth or let the delegates actual voice be recorded.  “The cake was baked”. 

Update 6:40pm.  AP reports, CBS confirms, the White House says President Obama made the decision to request change.  Obama personally asked for change: (more…)

….and the message we will deliver in November 2012 will be so strong.  We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it…..

(Via Breitbart) Tomorrow, [today] Democrats officially kick off their convention in Charlotte, NC. On Thursday, President Obama will ascend the stage at Bank of America stadium and try to rekindle the enthusiasm and fervor that greeted his acceptance speech in Denver in 2008. Then, Democrat officials worried about having to turn people away from the speech. Today, they worry about simply filling the seats. And no wonder; the Democrat party has shrunk dramatically during Obama’s term in office.

2010 Election Results

Obama’s policies haven’t helped many Americans. But, they have been an absolute bonanza to one particular group of job-seekers: Republican candidates. Not since Ronald Reagan has any President done more to build up a thriving and energetic GOP.

Let’s review the carnage inflicted on the Democrat party since Obama took office. (more…)

……. and the message we will deliver on November 6th 2012 will be so strong.  We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it…….

Put this in the Morale Booster section.   We The People, the patriotic people are in the majority; and the message we will deliver in November 2012 will be so strong.  We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

Wow.  Just Wow at the reaction.  I never imagined that Empty Chair Day would sweep the nation, take over Twitter, makes its way to the banner headline at Drudge and stories at The Wall Street Journal and elsewhere.

There obviously is a deep grassroots desire to be heard and to be heard against Obama.

The flood of photos sent to me and posted on Facebook and Twitter speaks volumes to what is not being picked up in the polls and mainstream media.  Anyone who thought we were not motivated has missed the picture completely.

While we should not be overly confident, I think I can see 2010 from my empty lawn chair. (more…)

The media keep selling the same old story,  “this is going to be a close race”.  It is the same narrative they used, without success, in the Wisconsin Recall/Re-election race.  Pffffttt…

Someone needs to sell them golden shovels so they can keep digging their way to the land of perpetual irrelevance.   It won’t be close.   2012 will be a “blow-out”…. just like the 2010 “shellacking”

These pictures are from a Jacksonville, Florida campaign stop on Saturday.   The venue, The Landings Shopping Center,  is reported to be approximately 150 feet square.

9,700 people showed up. (more…)

TODAY

Remember the Half-Time in America ad that ran during the Superbowl?

While President Obama continues to campaign and fundraise, Mitt Romney heads to the place where the Obama promise did not work.   The water did not recede.

LAKELAND, Fla. — In a last-minute change of plans, Mitt Romney will head to visit storm-affected areas in New Orleans today, skipping a previously scheduled joint rally with running mate Paul Ryan in the battleground state of Virginia this afternoon.

A Romney aide told ABC News that Romney will “join Gov. Jindal and will meet with first responders, thank them for their work and see areas impacted by the storm in LaFitte, La.”

The White House Freaks and reacts….. (more…)
