Mitt Romney was absolutely right when he noted in a fundraiser that 47% of the people would never vote for him. These are the entitled who never heard what JFK asked Americans to do but care only about what the government can do for them.

You would think we would have learned by now - but, alas, it doesn't seem so. Specifically, we have not learned to listen carefully to the Anointed One when he speaks and to carefully parse every word that he utters.

Conservative pundits like Ann Coulter, Karl Rove, Michael Barron, Charles Krauthammer et al were fairly confident in their predictions that Romney would sweep to victory.

Barack Obama and the Democrats waged the most negative campaign in recent memory, Mitt Romney and the Republicans spent their campaign cash less efficiently than the Democrats did.

For purposes of this study, voters interviewed had to have voted in at least one of the past three general elections (2006, 2008, 2010) or be newly registered to vote since November 2, 2010. The poll had a margin of error of plus/minus 4.9 percent.

Most modern pollsters don't just ask likely voters which candidate they support and leave it at that. They also ask voters unsure about their preferences whether they "lean" to one or the other candidate.

Last night, Mitt Romney showed John McCain how it SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE in 2008. The Mittster called Barry's bluff on a number of occasions -- correcting his misstatements and outright lies.

After watching the Socialists scramble to manage the message of how the Narcissist-in-Chief got his intellectual butt kicked in the first debate, there is a common narrative evolving: "Mitt Romney lied so hard that their candidate could not keep up with them."

We are still more than a month from Election Day, so I'm not ready to make predictions about state and federal races yet. For the sake of argument, however, let's imagine that the current polling leads for Barack Obama and Pat McCrory are predictive of the outcomes of their respective races.

Governor Mitt Romney embraced his first presidential debate, with vigor, and an enthusiastic optimism to project the truth, unfiltered and unencumbered, and thus intellectually bloodied Candidate Obama, and his office of new socialistic ideals for his odd vision of an Obama shaped America.

While increasing dependency on government is a very real problem, with both economic and political consequences, it cannot be measured effectively by annual income-tax statistics. Taxation is a process, not an event.

I've seen and heard WAY too much lately about Mitt Romney's tax returns. The Obama sycophants at the AP slobbered all over the Romney documents, pointing out -- from the Marxist, statist, class warfare perspective - how much the Mittster made and the percentage he paid. WHO CARES ??????

Well, Mitt Romney has finally released his 2011 tax return, all 379 pages of it. Yes, 379 pages!! And now we are going to start hearing about all the "bad" things he did and "good" things he didn't do in his return.

I read Paul Ryan's 2012 "Path to Prosperity." (which was voted by the House). I read all 99 pages. I have summarized its key points in both a word document and in chart form.

On Tuesday, September 11 (the 11th anniversary of the barbaric attacks on the US), tensions grew in Cairo, Egypt, apparently over a short provocative anti-Islamic video portraying the prophet Mohammed in a negative light (accusing him of being a womanizer, pedophile, and a fraud).

The last presidential election that focused squarely on issues was the 1972 Nixon-McGovern campaign. Since then campaigns have spent more time and money framing their opponent than dealing with issues.
