Eh! A Canadian Revolution? Well, I’ll be Bloody or Have another Boo Mateys! Under-financed, Without Liberal Controlled Medias Help, Canadian Rob Ford Becomes Toronto’s Mayor in a Landslide! Just by Copying American Populist, Anti-Elitists Tea Party Campaign Strategies:

Eh! A Canadian Revolution? Well, I’ll be Bloody or Have another Boo Mateys! Under-financed, Without Liberal Controlled Medias Help, Canadian Rob Ford Becomes Toronto’s Mayor in a Landslide! Just by Copying American Populist, Anti-Elitists Tea Party Campaign Strategies:
By Marc Chamot

Even with Media’s sordid and solid holds over these nations and including Canada, they weren’t able to shut-up this populist candidate. 

What’s TRULY amazing for Rob Ford, he went against all odds, against elitists’ big moneys and their Medias, Ford Became Toronto’s new Mayor by a landslide!

Not only United States and Canada are, people all over the world rising-up, against tax and spends left-wing elitists!

Rob Ford promised to cut spending and scrap a car registration tax after he was elected mayor of Toronto last night, topping challenger George Smitherman to lead Canada’s biggest city.

Ford received about 47 percent of the votes cast, to 36 percent for Smitherman, according to the city’s election website.

Ford, 41, has vowed to curb Toronto’s spending, which he says increased 56 percent to C$9.2 billion ($9.02 billion) in the past 10 years. He’s pledged to cut the number of city councilors in half to 22, a move that will save about C$9 million a year in direct costs. He also wants to reduce the expense accounts of politicians.

“People are really fed up with the wasteful spending,” Ford said in an interview on CP24 Television from his home. “I want to thank them for their vote of confidence, and I can’t wait to put an end to this gravy train.”
Ford said that his first act as mayor will be to eliminate a car-registration tax.

“The party with taxpayers’ money is over,” Ford said in his victory speech in a hall filled with his supporters.”

Canadian Liberal-Left Elitists are reeling, and they are left asking, what the “bloody” heck happened, and what is going on with Canada, after Canadians in Toronto, amazingly, simply amazingly voted for an obscure, underfinanced and unknown mayor candidate, who employed U.S. Tea Party populists’ ideologies.   

Tea Party North -- Rob Ford wins Toronto mayor's race We've pointed out before that Canada has gone totally Tea Party. Now word comes from our Canadian informant Tim Sheithner that liberal Toronto has just elected a Tea Party mayor in a landslide!
The new right wing mayor of Toronto who completely blew away his opponents. Polling had indicated the race would be close --- oops. He came out of nowhere but his platform resonated with a normally liberal city.

The issue he campaigned on: cut taxes; take on the city’s unions who were crippling the budget (first on the hit list, garbage collectors…look at privatizing it).

How did a 'Tea Party' candidate like Rob Ford win in socialist-leaning Canada? The tea party movement got an early victory this final week of campaigning. It was a “shock” victory for a no-nonsense kind of guy. The only thing is that it happened in socialist-leaning Canada, Toronto to be exact. Rob Ford is now mayor elect of that city.

He had a fraught relationship with the press, thought no reports of his ever threatening one of them. He even conducted an interview while coaching a footbal team. As reported on Now Public in sneering style.

Back around 1995, Canadians lost their rights to gun ownerships. Sadly though, Canada became another few pro-guns nations that have fallen to Liberal-left philosophies that are plaguing entire Western world, including Europe.

What’s also very shocking about this Canadian election, Canadian Media’s, elitists and their presses, have practically shut down mentioning, or bringing up connections to populists Rob Ford with American Tea Parties strategies.

Not only Canadians are angry as heck, over escalating taxes and expanding of “free loading” societies, it’s going to go right across the Atlantic to Great Britain soon too. 

Ford Elected Mayor of Toronto, Defeating Former Deputy Premier Smitherman “Opinion polls showed that the two leading mayoral candidates were almost tied as recently as last week. An Angus Reid poll released Oct. 18 showed Toronto residents voting 41 percent for Ford, 40 percent for Smitherman, 48, a former deputy premier of Ontario, and 16 percent forJoe Pantalone

The survey, conducted Oct. 14 and Oct. 15 among 1,001 adults, had a margin of error of 3.1 percent, 19 times out of 20.

Debt Rally
Toronto’s debt is rated AA by Standard & Poor’s, the company’s second-highest rating. The city’s debt burden may climb to about C$4.2 billion by 2013, a 56 percent increase from 2008, according to S&P.
The city’s 5.2 percent debentures maturing in June 2040 have returned 12 percent this year, according to Bloomberg data. That compares with an 8.5 percent total return for the broader Bank of America Merrill Lynch Canadian Provincials & Municipals Index.

Toronto, which hosted the Group of 20 nation’s summit in June, has a population of 2.48 million people, according to the city’s website.

Ford replaces David Miller, who announced last year he wouldn’t seek another term after holding the office since 2003.

In other municipal election results across Ontario today, former member of provincial Parliament Jim Watson became mayor for a second time in Ottawa, Canada’s capital. Watson received 49 percent of the vote with 81 percent of the votes tallied, according to the city’s website.

Field Poll; Insane California Independent Voters Want to Keep Same Losers “Status Quo's,” Barbara Boxer Leading Carly Fiorina by 8 Points & New York Times Admits Big GOP Victories & Defeats for Obama Liberals:

Field Poll; Insane California Independent Voters Want to Keep Same Losers “Status Quo's,” Barbara Boxer Leading Carly Fiorina by 8 Points & New York Times Admits Big GOP Victories & Defeats for Obama Liberals:
By Marc Chamot

The San Francisco Giants have gotten this city in uproars. Unfortunately, I’m not much of a sports fan, if I were; I wouldn’t be wasting so much time blogging politics. Whether they win or lose, I couldn’t care less.

Most voters have already voted or made up their minds, the Field Poll found, and status quos’ alive and well in California. Do you ever wonder why this state is so screwed up? Take one look at the recent straw polls for U.S. Senate. Barbara Boxer has jumped into 8 points lead over Republican Carly Fiorina.

“The Field Poll also showed that both Senate candidates have a solid grip on their respective partisans. But the independents who make up 1 in 5 California voters and would always decide this race favor Boxer 49 to 32 percent."

Bucking the trend, California is bucking a national trend that shows independents favoring the GOP, California Independents are total disgrace to my party.

While California voters are giving U.S. Senator, Barbara Boxer some of the lowest approval ratings of her career, this Senator from California, Barbara Boxer, has a net jobs approval of Minus 1, with a 44% approval and 45% disapproval rating, a dramatic drop from the February, 2008 poll which had Boxer at plus 19. 

Source: “Incumbent Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer appears to be fending off a strong challenge by Republican Carly Fiorina in California's U.S. Senate race, racking up an eight-point lead and getting strong support from independent voters, according to a new Field Poll.

With just four days to go in the campaign, the widely watched poll shows Boxer leading Fiorina 49 to 41 percent. Another 4 percent of likely voters favor other candidates, and 6 percent are undecided.
Field Poll Director Mark DiCamillo described Boxer's lead as "comfortable" and the largest she's had since similar polls in the spring and summer.

Boxer will turn 70 next month and is seeking her fourth term. With 12.4 percent unemployment in California, the third-highest rate in the nation, Fiorina has made this the toughest race of Boxer's career since she narrowly won her Senate seat in 1992.

Just days ago, analysts listed the race as a toss-up, despite the state's deep blue politics. Now most have moved it to the leans-Democrat column.”

What are California voters thinking? It absolute lunacy and absurd! A state which has dropped from ranked 7 economies in the world to eighth, and still dropping, under Democrat’s control, and they want the same old status quos’ of anti-business, anti-industries, anti-farming and other economical corrupt cronies in government?

That is why I’m very happy about the GOP takeover of the U.S. house soon. Any GOP/Republicans who allow and VOTE for federal stimuli, subsidies and bailouts for the state of California, and similar states that don’t show fiscal responsibilities, should all be tarred, feathered and chased out of town.

I've got a BIG message for these California MORONS; If I'm a betting man, with GOP back in control, Carly Fiorina will have far better edge in getting needed federal moneys, to this cash strapped state than Barbara (Boxed OUT) Boxer. Watch this scenario being played out. 

The best thing about blogging, I am afforded the luxury to read the Wall Street Journal, and the oft liberal New York Times. They are both among the top three newspapers circulation wise in the United States. They do help provide more insight and information for my blogs, where as other Medias aren’t enough to give me the complete picture on politics.

I tend to agree with the Wall Street journal opinion pieces and reject the New Your Times’ most of the time. I also get a big kick reading their articles. They tend to be more traditional, and polite; they tend use adjectives on proper nouns, like Mr. Obama, Mrs. Nancy Pelosi and Mr. Harry Reid and so forth.

Well… I’m more untraditional, I could make my blog posts look like the Wall Street Journal and New York Times, but, nah, that’s not me. I like being meaner, crude and rude, I’m considered more like traditional Gonzo journalist.

Wikipedia: “Gonzo journalism is a style of journalism that is written subjectively, often including the reporter as part of the story via a first-person narrative. Gonzo journalism tends to favor style over accuracy and often uses personal experiences and emotions to provide context for the topic or event being covered. It disregards the 'polished' edited product favored by newspaper media and strives for a more gritty approach. Use of quotations, sarcasm, humor, exaggeration, and profanity is common.”

If I became more like the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, using adjectives on proper nouns in my articles, maybe, I could be among top three blogs on the Net? I’m just kidding folks. 

I’m quite amazed, the New York Times has finally admitted to Democratic defeats in the midterms. A pro-Obama and liberal publication, one that has been accused of holding back stories, especially stories that most affect the liberal movements in this country, have finally come to their realizations and senses, they can’t carry the banners for liberals anymore.

In every poll, including this one from New York Times, Obama’s Hope and Change wasn’t the one they WANTED or expected! Well? The morals of this "Krazy" story for future party politicians, when you promise something BIG, YOU BETTER DARN WELL DELIVER or ELSE!

In Thursday’s edition of New York Times, front page; Coalition that Vaulted Democrats into Power Has Frayed, Poll Finds: Critical parts of the coalition that delivered President Obama to the White House in 2008 and gave Democrats control of Congress in 2006 are switching their allegiance to the Republicans in the final phase of the midterm Congressional elections, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.

Republicans have wiped out the advantage held by Democrats in recent election cycles among women, Roman Catholics, less affluent Americans and independents. All of those groups broke for Mr. Obama in 2008 and for Congressional Democrats when they grabbed both chambers from the Republicans four years ago, according to exit polls.

The poll provides a pre-Election Day glimpse of a nation so politically disquieted and disappointed in its current trajectory that 57 percent of the registered voters surveyed said they were more willing to take a chance this year on a candidate with little previous political experience. More than a quarter of them said they were even willing to back a candidate who holds some views that “seem extreme.”

On the issue most driving the campaign, the economy, Republicans have erased the traditional advantage held by Democrats as the party seen as better able to create jobs; the parties are now even on that measure. By a wide margin, Republicans continue to be seen as the party better able to reduce the federal budget deficit.
But it does offer a clear indication of party strength at the end of what has been a particularly intense and hard-fought midterm campaign with more bad news than good for Mr. Obama and his party.

Overall, 46 percent of likely voters said they would vote for Republicans and 40 percent said they would support Democrats.

A higher percentage of Americans continues to have a more favorable opinion of the Democratic Party than of the Republican Party, with 46 percent favoring Democrats and 41 favoring Republicans.

But the Republicans’ favorability rating in the New York Times/CBS poll is at its highest level since September 2006.

Disapproval of Congress, however, remains near its highest level in the history of the Times/CBS poll: 76 percent of respondents disapproved, 14 percent approved, and 10 percent expressed no opinion.

Mr. Obama’s approval rating remains below 50 percent. It is 43 percent among registered voters, which is about where President Bill Clinton’s approval rating was in the 1994 midterm elections when Republicans swept control of the House and the Senate.

The Democratic House speaker, Representative Nancy Pelosi, clearly emerged as a political liability for her party in the latest Times/CBS poll.

Overall, 43 percent of respondents had an unfavorable opinion of Ms. Pelosi; 15 percent had a favorable opinion, and 40 percent said they had no opinion. The minority leader in the House who would probably become the speaker if Republicans win the majority, Representative John A. Boehner of Ohio, remains largely unknown. Three quarters of respondents said they had no opinion of him.

Like several other national polls, the latest Times/CBS poll shows a considerable “enthusiasm gap” between Republicans and Democrats. Six in 10 Republicans said they were more enthusiastic about voting this year than usual. Four in 10 Democrats said the same.

The poll includes indications that Republicans will have their own challenges should they gain control of one or both chambers of Congress with a new crop of lawmakers who identify with the Tea Party.

About 6 in 10 Republicans who are likely to vote think the views of most Republicans are consistent with those of the Tea Party movement, which, though diffuse, has had success this year in arguing that Republicans have been too eager to choose compromise over principle.

Yet 78 percent of respondents said they believed Republicans in Congress should compromise some of their positions to get things done and 15 percent said they should stick to their positions even if it means getting less done. Similar percentages said they wanted Democrats to choose compromise over principle.

Take a look at this amazing POLL!

End of Blue Dog Coalition Democrats as it is? Democratic Conservative Group Facing Mass Extinctions in Midterms Elections, VOTING Lock, Stock & Barrel for Obama’s Liberal Agendas, Rather Respecting their Conservative Leaning Districts:

End of Blue Dog Coalition Democrats as it is? Democratic Conservative Group Facing Mass Extinctions in Midterms Elections, VOTING Lock, Stock & Barrel for Obama’s Liberal Agendas, Rather Respecting their Conservative Leaning Districts:
By Marc Chamot

Everybody wants to know, where most of next week Democrat’s House losses are coming from, and they were all WARNED; vote for most of Obama’s Democratic Liberal Agendas, you'll be gone! And NOT even Obama's base can help them on this one.

“More than half the members of the Blue Dog Coalition—the organization of moderate to conservative Democrats in the House—are in peril in next week's election, a stark indicator of how the balloting could produce a Congress even more polarized than the current one.

Blue Dogs are often seen as a kind of human bridge, connecting left and right in the House. But that bridge is imperiled by the coming Republican wave in midterm elections, the starkest example of how the midterms are likely to weaken Capitol Hill's political center.

Of 54 Blue Dogs in the House, six already have retired or decided to seek other offices. Of those trying to stay, 39 are in competitive races, according to the Cook Political Report, and 22 of those are in pure toss-ups.

Among those facing the toughest races are some of the Blue Dog Coalition's leaders. Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin of South Dakota, one of the co-chairs of the group, is locked in a contest with State Rep. Kristi Noem; in the most recent polling earlier this month, conducted by Rasmussen Reports, Ms. Herseth Sandlin trailed 47% to 43%.

The bottom line is that the Blue Dog population could be cut significantly, conceivably by half, in next week's voting.”

Back then, when presidential candidate Barack Obama campaigned for the presidency of the United States, he was bringing in Hope and Change for most voters. Actually, if you go back and look into the president’s campaign mantras and speeches, you’ll see promised reforms, on bringing transparencies into an often secretive and back doors type dealings in government.

Then candidate Obama told us, he was bi-partisan and he works well across the isles with Republicans, he’s the BEST candidate for the presidency. He didn’t say it in so many words, but his Hope and Change mantras Obama was running on, presumably was that he would also LISTEN to the voters.

My biggest impression about President Obama’s campaign, he was going to change Washington from its usual corruptive self, a place where lobbyists and special interests, have their sway over politicians and where majorities of voters usually are ignored.

Unfortunately, these mantras, or promises, by then candidate Barack Obama, never materialized, led to a current Gallup poll that 54% of Americans believe Obama does not deserve another term as U.S. president. Only 39% believe he should be re-elected as president in 2012.

I knew six month after his inauguration, we’ve been had. Obama was nothing more than an agenda driven president. I kind of suspected it before, but I was hopefully waiting for that promised change to come, but nil. I began to worry; I wanted to see if the Democrats do have their sixty, for their supermajority in the U.S. Senate, if they did, then we’re in big trouble. I was hoping for a big miracle!

Then back around July 2009, I wrote keeping Obama in check; Democrats got their 60 in the Senate, but will Blue Dogs Keep Dogging Obama? "Who is really minding the store while Republicans are out of power? There are these “Blue Dogs” Democrats that I keep writing about on my blogs.

The Blue Dog Democratic Coalition is a group of 51 moderate andconservative Democratic Party members of the United States House of Representatives.[1] The Blue Dogs promote, among other things, fiscal conservatism and accountability. Many members come from conservative districts, where liberal Democrats comprise a decided minority of the general population.[citation needed] In 2006, Blue Dog candidates such as Heath Shuler and Brad Ellsworth were elected in conservative-leaning districts, ending years of Republican dominance in these areas.

I don’t think that the media has quite caught on to the Blue Dogs yet, they are being ignored by most, but some are mentioning them by name. Before, when the media used to mention conservatives, they would only use Republican, but now when they mention conservatives, they include these Blue Dogs Democrats without the Republican.

These Blue Dog Democrats made big inroads into politics during these past two election cycles of 2006 and 2008, where they grew in numbers as Republicans lost theirs.

They are caught between a rock and a hard place, not only that they owe allegiances for the Democratic Party, they also owe their allegiances’ to their conservative bases within their districts. And if they fail their constituents, their political lives will be short lived.

These are the guys who are keeping our gun rights around, they are also the guys that keep preventing President Obama’s amnesties for illegal aliens to run amuck and they also keep Obama from providing illegal alien’s with driver’s licenses as he promised during his campaign.

They are also putting roadblocks on Obama that is keeping him from changing or revising the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell,” the homosexuals in the military policies, and repealing the federal statutes which does not recognize gay marriages.

Blue Dogs are also impossible to replace with another more liberal leaning Democrat. If they anger their party hierarchy, the party can’t just come into their conservative district and say we will not support you, we will support this more liberal guy! Blue Dogs are also more independent than traditional Democrats.

But these Blue Dogs are also Democrats, and they will do what Democrats do, they will support Obama in other things, such as the confirmation of Sonia Sotomayor for Supreme Court Justice, and for less costly social issues that this country needs, which Republicans don’t normally support."

I can understand Blue Dogs going against former George Bush, and due to former president’s unpopularity, that’s how they got elected in the first place.

After they voted lock, stock and barrel for Sonia Sotomayor, TARP bailouts, failed stimulus, disastrous Obamacare, those supposedly conservatives, mostly from Republican leaning districts, Blue Dog Democrats, did an about face on conservative issues and on those most important to their districts.

After two years with Obama and his policies, suddenly these unleashed Blue Dogs were revealed for what they truly were, proven LIARS. They were more liberal than conservative, too liberal for their districts, and they are going to pay for it in the Midterms.

Blue Dogs Face Sharp Losses in Midterms Similarly, Rep. Baron Hill of Indiana, a fellow Blue Dog leader, is battling Republican attorney Todd Young in a deadlocked race both parties see as an indicator of the size of the GOP wave.

Blue Dogs tend to come from more conservative swing districts, where their hold on their seats is more tenuous in any case, and where voters are more likely to move right when the national winds push strongly in that direction.

"This is going to be a very tough election for the Blue Dogs, because many of them had success in districts where Democrats are always an endangered species," says Jim Kessler, vice president for policy at Third Way, a think tank promoting the ideas of moderate Democrats. "If they lose, some of them may come back in a future wave election, but those are never safe seats."

Meantime, liberal Democrats such as Nancy Pelosi, John Conyers and Henry Waxman hail from reliably Democratic districts, and they will be returning.

The upshot is one of the great political ironies of the year: A national conservative wave will hit hardest not at the most liberal Democrats, but at the most conservative Democrats. The Democratic caucus left behind will be, on balance, more liberal than it was before the election.

Meantime, a similar dynamic, only in the opposite direction, will be unfolding within the Republican House caucus. The election figures to bring to Washington some 50 newcomers on the Republican side—some of whom will replace retiring Republicans, others who will take over Democratic seats—and few of them are from the political center.  

Instead, the tea-party movement has helped produce a crop of Republican newcomers who are ideologically to the right, and often quite intense about their views. "These people aren't interested in coming here to compromise," said one senior GOP House aide.

The net result will be a Republican House caucus pushed to the right by its newest members. The space vacated in this process will be the ideological center. That old line from Texas populist Jim Hightower—"There's nothing in the middle of the road but yellow stripes and dead armadillos"—will feel prescient.

It's a similar story in the Senate. There, the center is being thinned by the retirements of Democrats Evan Bayh of Indiana and Byron Dorgan of North Dakota, and Republican George Voinovich of Ohio, all lawmakers with a proclivity to reach across the partisan divide.

Meantime, Sen. Edward Kennedy, the leading example of a liberal Democrat who could work with conservatives, has died. And Sen. John McCain, once known as the maverick Republican ready to work with the other party, seems to have lost his appetite for doing so after enduring a bitter presidential election and an equally bitter conservative challenge from within his own party this year.

Simultaneously, the election figures to produce a full-blown caucus of tea-party adherents in the Senate, which will push the center of gravity among Republicans there to the right. The new Senate could well include Republican tea-party favorites Rand Paul of Kentucky, Marco Rubio of Florida, Ken Buck of Colorado, and Joe Miller of Alaska, perhaps, Sharron Angle of Nevada.

Within the Democratic Party, many expect this process to produce a vigorous, perhaps nasty, internal debate about the ideological direction of the party. Already some on the party's left are complaining that the centrists who will lose didn't support the party's signature legislative initiatives, such as the health-care overhaul, and that their departure should be seen as a sign the party would be better off pursuing a more liberal agenda that would please and fire up its base.

William Galston, a political analyst at the Brookings Institution, who was in President Bill Clinton's White House when Democrats went through a similarly wrenching midterm in 1994, says "it is inevitable" that a debate about the ideological course of the party will break out after Nov. 2. "It can take healthy forms, or it can take unhealthy forms."

Poll: Independents Supporting Republicans by Double Digits; Frank Caprio, R.I. Democratic Candidate for Governor on Obama: "He can take his endorsement and really shove it as far as I am concerned" & Obama: Republicans & Tea Party’s Stupid "facts and science and the argument on Democrat’s side.”

Poll: Independents Supporting Republicans by Double Digits; Frank Caprio, R.I. Democratic Candidate for Governor on Obama: "He can take his endorsement and really shove it as far as I am concerned" & Obama: Republicans & Tea Party’s Stupid "facts and science and the argument on Democrat’s side.”
By Marc Chamot

 “President Obama and his fellow Democrats are mocking Republicans and the Tea Party as stupid. But they could be the ones who look foolish on Election Day.” Winning friends and influencing people, is definitely not President Obama’s stronger traits. When it comes to attacking the opposition, he’s got uncontrollable big “foot in mouth” disease.

Dumb and Dumber;“During a fundraiser earlier this month in Massachusetts, Obama spoke of Democrats having the "facts and science and the argument" on their side. As opposed, presumably, to the lies, superstition and prejudice that Republicans rely on.”

New polls are showing surges of independents choosing Republicans by a 14-point margin. The survey showed those voters held a bleaker-than-average view of key Democratic policies -- 62 percent had an unfavorable view of the health care law, compared with 52 percent for all voters; 66 percent said the stimulus is not working, compared with 57 percent for all voters. 

The movement continues a trend that started when independents began breaking for the GOP in the Virginia and New Jersey gubernatorial races and Massachusetts Senate race.

And now a Rhode Island gubernatorial candidate has picked up that anti-establishment cry -- against President Obama. Frank Caprio, a conservative Democrat and candidate for governor of Rhode Island, wasn’t too happy about the lack of an endorsement from Democratic president. "I never asked President Obama for his endorsement and what's going on here is really Washington insider politics at its worst," Caprio said this morning on a Providence radio program, according to ABC News. "He can take his endorsement and really shove it as far as I am concerned."

More on Barack Obama echoes anti-Americanism of Europe in calling voters stupid "Obama has stopped patting voters on the back for choosing, by voting for him, to listen not to their doubts or fears but to their "greatest hopes and highest aspirations". Instead, he is berating Americans (most of whom now do not believe he deserves a second term) for not being able to "think clearly" because they're "scared".

Having failed to change Washington or, as he promised that night in St Paul, Minnesota in June 2008, to provide "good jobs to the jobless" (unemployment was 7.7 per cent when he took office and is 9.6 per cent now), Obama is changing tack.
Boiled down, the new Obama message to Americans is: you're too stupid to overcome your fears. 

To be fair, it's not entirely new. During the 2008 campaign, Obama was caught on tape at a San Francisco fund-raiser saying it was not surprising that voters facing economic hardship "get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them".

This year, Democrats have embraced with gusto the notion that Republicans, and by extension anyone thinking of voting for them, are dimwits.

Obama, by contrast, has become a parody of the Ivy League liberal smugly content with his own intellectual superiority and pitying the poor idiots who disagree with him. It is an approach that shares much with the default anti-Americanism of British and European elites, who love to mock the United States as a country full of gun-toting, bible-clutching morons.
 Obama did not display a whole lot of his much-vaunted intelligence. But Obama's decision to plug Stewart's rally approvingly and appear on his show three days beforehand is even more foolish.

Obama, by contrast, has become a parody of the Ivy League liberal smugly content with his own intellectual superiority and pitying the poor idiots who disagree with him. It is an approach that shares much with the default anti-Americanism of British and European elites, who love to mock the United States as a country full of gun-toting, bible-clutching morons."

Nope, my people, the Independents aren't happy with this Prez; Independents Backing Republicans by Double-Digit Margin, Poll Shows "Independents are flocking to Republican candidates, according to a new poll, signaling an important shift in the critical voting bloc that helped boost Democrats the past two cycles. 

The surge in independent support boosts Republicans' chances with the midterm election, which is just more than a week away. Though the polls are tightening in a handful of races, Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele said Sunday he's confident the party can take control of Congress."

When Republicans Win House Majorities; They Will Have People’s Mandates on Immigration Reforms & Securing the Borders, NOT Obama’s & Defunding Public/Taxpayer Financed Liberals Institutions to Help Reduce Deficits & NPR’s Illegal Juan William’s Firing:



When Republicans Win House Majorities; They Will Have People’s Mandates on Immigration Reforms & Securing the Borders, NOT Obama’s & De-funding Public/Taxpayer Financed Liberals Institutions to Help Reduce Deficits & NPR’s Illegal Juan William’s Firing:
By Marc Chamot

Usually you are what you look like and especially when other groups have given it a bad name. 

When someone dresses up like a wino and walks into a store, usually people are going to perceive this person as such, regardless if the person is not a drinker. When people dress up like gangbangers; they most likely are going to be bothered by cops, regardless if they aren’t one.

So when Muslims, with their garbs on, board up an airplane in the United States, we’re all going get nervous about it, regardless what Muslim groups say or do.

When Bill O’Reilly went on the view, he was both right and wrong about Muslims. It was Muslims who brought down the World Trade Centers in 9-11, but it wasn’t ALL Muslims, they were Muslim extremists. 

So when former NPR Juan Williams says he gets nervous when he gets on a plane when he sees Muslims with their garbs on and he’s absolutely correct and has the absolute RIGHT to say it! He shouldn’t have been fired for saying the TRUTHS!
Screw those griping Muslim groups and look above, they are what they are, because of bad reputations of others, within their religious sects and that’s what people will always think about them. They will NOT force us to think otherwise.

We all have the right to say it, just as we have the right to identify winos and gangbangers by just the way they look, and Muslims are NO more special than anybody else in America. 

And yes, NPR went way too far in firing Juan Williams, he’s also a minority African American too. NPR’s CEO Vivian Schiller is nothing more than a left-wing pall bearer. She accused Juan Williams of veering from journalistic ethics, several times before.

“Controversial opinions should not come from NPR reporters or news analysts, adding that Juan Williams was not a commentator or columnist for NPR.” In memos, Schiller said, Juan’s comments violated NPR’s code of ethics, re: “freedom of speech,” which says journalists should not participate in medias, “that encourage punditry and speculation rather than fact-based analysis.”

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich suggests congress, where as I suggest the NEW Republican controlled congress, must investigate NPR for censorships and cutting off their public, taxpayer’s funded moneys!

While we’re on the subject about the possibly, and newly controlled house of congress, by Republicans, while we’re looking to cut massive deficits, we need to LOOK at NPR, Acorn and other public funded liberal institutions and give them the BIG AX!

President Obama recently conceded Democratic losses in the U.S. House of Representatives, will be massive. 

Obama: Republicans Will Have to Learn to Get Along With Me. NO, I don’t think so Mr. President. It’s the other way around, wouldn’t YOU think? Republicans will have the people’s mandates, not YOU Mr. Obama.

When Republicans do take control of the House, and hopefully working with the U.S. Senate, with whichever party is in charge, they’re going to have to address big issues affecting this nation. They are going to have to act fast, where Democrats have failed, like in out of control, and widening gaps on foreign trades, creating jobs for unemployed Americans and so forth.

Making Obama ENFORCE current illegal immigration laws on the books, on employer’s hiring’s of illegal’s and so on. The importing of POOR immigrants from other countries MUST STOP. Our welfare systems are overloaded and taxes are declining, we cannot afford it any longer. It’s making it harder on real Americans, who do deserve these benefits.  

While the economy is in dire straits, Republicans will have to get tougher on Visas violators and overstays, reducing the imports of immigrants through H1B and H2B visas, until the jobs scenes improve. Republicans will have to show Americans, they are the Party for them like none other.

If President Obama and Democrats refuse to cooperate, Republicans MUST show for what they are, obstructionists and set up for 2012 complete takeovers. Examiner.com has a terrific editorial guideline piece, on securing the border for Republicans to follow.

Examiner Editorial: Stop the bureaucracy and secure the border "After spending billions of tax dollars on homeland security, the federal government has still not secured the nation’s borders. To understand why, realize first that too often the government’s left hand actively blocks the right hand from doing its work on the border. For example, instead of deporting the 505,365 illegal immigrants thought to be here who are also convicted felons — as the agency is required to do by federal law — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) released them back into local communities.

By refusing to release any “personally identifiable information” to elected public officials and law enforcement, ICE puts criminals’ “privacy rights” before the safety of American citizens. At the same time, the Interior Department is blocking the Border Patrol from intercepting members of drug cartels, terrorists and human traffickers at the southwestern border, so the criminals enter the U.S. virtually at will, wreaking environmental havoc on protected wilderness areas along the way and sowing murder and mayhem in our cities.

To end such official absurdities on America’s borders, the new Congress must make the following urgent
priorities:

* Secure the border. Finish the fence ASAP. Sending 1,200 National Guard troops to perform administrative support duties on the border will not get the job done no matter how often President Barack Obama and HHS Secretary Janet Napolitano claim otherwise. Send as many troops to the border as the Secretary of Defense says are needed to secure it. Announce an aggressive Shoot to Kill policy for those found using known drug cartel routes for crossing the border.

* Enforce existing laws. Withdraw the suit against Arizona. Convicted criminals, holders of expired visas, and others with no legal right to remain in the U.S. should be expelled. It is only “impossible to send all 12 million of them back” if we never start the process. And if only half leave, 6 million fewer illegal immigrants here would still be great progress.

* End bureaucratic paralysis. Border Patrol officers should be given statutory authority to enter any federal lands necessary to do their jobs. It is astonishing that Congress has not done this already.

* No amnesty. The American people oppose amnesty because it is unfair, especially to legal immigrants who waited patiently for years to come here. The choice must be to either get in line with everybody else seeking citizenship or leave.

* Reward legal immigrants. Legal immigration should be expanded and encouraged, especially for those with needed special skills. If anybody deserves a streamlined “path to citizenship,” it’s those who have already demonstrated their respect for American law and tradition. They should be fast-tracked to citizenship to the greatest practical degree possible.

* Government regulation drives illegal hiring. Recognize that, as the cost of hiring new workers goes up with increased federal regulation, the incentive to instead recruit cheaper illegal immigrants expands. Government must focus on reducing the cost of doing business wherever possible."

Obama: Republicans Will Have to Learn to Get Along With Me “President Obama reveals in a magazine article that he is weighing what to do if Republicans win the House majority next month, and has come up with a novel approach: Make the GOP work with him. 

In a seeming twist on the post-1994 midterm calculation made by President Bill Clinton-- when Republicans pummeled Democrats in the congressional election -- Obama said he thinks Republicans will have to move in his direction no matter the outcome of the Nov. 2 vote. 

"It may be that regardless of what happens after this election, they feel more responsible," he is quoted saying in the Sunday edition of The New York Times Magazine, "either because they didn't do as well as they anticipated, and so the strategy of just saying no to everything and sitting on the sidelines and throwing bombs didn't work for them, or they did reasonably well, in which case the American people are going to be looking to them to offer serious proposals and work with me in a serious way."

Accusing the public of mistaking his abilities, the president also told the magazine that he's a little taken aback that voters are disappointed with the current turn of events in his administration. 

"The mythology has emerged somehow that we ran this flawless campaign, I never made a mistake, that we were master communicators, everything worked in lockstep," Obama is quoted saying.

"That's not how I look at stuff, because I remember what the campaign was like. And it was just as messy and just as difficult. And there were all sorts of moments when our supporters lost hope, and it looked like we weren't going to win. And we're going through that same period here."

The inside-the-White-House account of trouble and turmoil in the administration comes 20 days before the midterm election and is sure to deflate Democrats reluctant to hear the president detailing mistakes from his first 20 months in office. 

"It's pretty clear to me based on this interview that the president is saying, 'I've given up, you’re on your own,'" said Democratic strategist Doug Schoen.”

Games UP & Party's OVER! Party Killer, Kamikazes Strategies Failed Democrats, Nancy Pelosi May Lose Speakership No Matter What; Big Price to Pay for Not Listening to VOTERS/Polls & for Pushing Unpopular Agendas/Policies:

Games UP & Party's OVER! Party Killer, Kamikazes Strategies Failed Democrats, Nancy Pelosi May Lose Speakership No Matter What; Big Price to Pay for Not Listening to VOTERS/Polls & for Pushing Unpopular Agendas/Policies:
By Marc Chamot

“I say to the House as I said to ministers who have joined this government, I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many months of struggle and suffering.

You ask, what is our policy? I say it is to wage war by land, sea, and air. War with all our might and with all the strength God has given us, and to wage war against a monstrous tyranny never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy.” - Sir Winston Churchill

We’ve all got super heroes here and then and most people have their own heroes one time or other. Heroes can also tell someone’s personality traits. 

Mine have been a few and far in between and Great Britain’s Sir Winston Churchill is tops my list. To me, he was the GREATEST speaking politician of ALL time.

Another big unsung hero of mine is Mikhail Gorbachev, the sixth General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, who brought down the Iron Curtain. He served from 1985 until 1991, and the last head of state of the USSR, serving from 1988 until its collapse in 1991.

Mr. Gorbachev still showing his genius abilities in recent interviews, Russia Risks Mass Unrest Under Current Regime, Gorbachev Says “Russia’s leadership should start listening to the people or risk mass protests and disorder, said Mikhail Gorbachev, the last leader of the Soviet Union.

“The most dangerous thing is if the tension building up in society suddenly bursts onto the street with such a force that we’ll all be in trouble,” Gorbachev, 79, said in an interview with Moscow-based Snob magazine. “Without modernization of democratic institutions there can’t be any progress.”

“Our government fears its own citizens,” Gorbachev said, warning the patience of Russians with “a swamp of stagnation, indifference and corruption” may eventually snap. “When people finally realize that their opinion is ignored and that nothing depends on them, they’ll go out on the street,” he said.

If President Ronald Reagan were still alive today, he would agree with what Gorbachev is saying. It’s all true, because in the United States, OUR uprisings are elections!

There is no question that Democrats will be wiped out in the midterms. What happened to Republicans in 2006 and 2008, is exactly what Democrats are going through these Midterms, they ALL refused to LISTEN to the voters!

With GOP in Lead in Final Lap “Vigorous post-Labor Day Democratic offensive has failed to diminish the resurgent Republicans' lead among likely voters, leaving the GOP poised for major gains in congressional elections two weeks away, according to a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll. Among likely voters, Republicans hold a 50% to 43% edge, up from a three-percentage-point lead a month ago.

In the broader category of registered voters, 46% favor a Democratic-controlled Congress, compared with 44% who want Republican control. But in the 92 House districts considered most competitive, the GOP's lead among registered voters is 14 points, underscoring the Democrats' challenge in maintaining their hold on the House. The poll of 1,000 registered voters was taken Oct. 14-18.

"It's hard to say Democrats are facing anything less than a category four hurricane," said Peter Hart, the Democratic pollster who conducts the Journal poll with Republican pollster Bill McInturff. "And it's unlikely the Democratic House will be left standing."

Mr. McInturff said the Republican lead among likely voters, if it stood, probably would yield a pickup of 52 or 53 House seats, surpassing the net gain of 39 seats the GOP needs to claim control of the chamber.”

The game is up, and voters are waking up to their political CON games. I predicted back in January, this was happening with Liberals. Wednesday, January 27, 2010 Kamikazes Liberals; they still want Obama, Democrat Liberals, & Pelosi, to Keep Pushing for Leftists Agendas, Even if it Kills their Party: “Suicidal Democratic leftists, after Massachusetts, and with the Democrat’s imminent defeats in the upcoming elections, is not enough to scare, and stop those kamikazes left-wing groups of the Democratic Party, in their quests to get their leftists agendas through, from this president and the liberal left in congress, like Nancy Pelosi.

Like Republicans before them, Democrats are still doing it. What both parties have been doing for the past ten years, is playing Kamikaze politics, passing their OWN agendas and policies, mainly benefiting minorities and special interests groups, rather than the masses, regardless what the populace/VOTERS wants and thinks.

They like to pass the batons, from elections to elections on unpopular policies and agendas and that's where we are now. I truly believe, this will be the very LAST time we're going to see these kinds of strategies in U.S. politics. 

The rise of the Tea Parties, Independents and the Internet, people are getting smarter and wiser, politicians will NOT last long in Washington politics. Look at former George Bush and Republicans, total control in American politics from 2000 to 2006, six years! And now look at Obama and Democrats, with TOTAL control from 2008 to 2010, for only JUST two years! What a BIG difference!  

While Democrats want to put the sheer blame on Nancy Pelosi, for this sorry strategy that’s bringing their imminent demise. Blame should go to Nancy Pelosi and President Obama, for devising these political strategies, to push unpopular policies and agendas on the people, regardless of the consequences.  

All this has been possible, because U.S. congress have obscene retirement plans, where politicians who are driven away from office, without having to answer for their bad decisions. They’ll still have the GREAT life and pleasures paid for by taxpayers, whereas most of us, will suffer from their ill conceived decisions.   

Democrats from a number of states, including Texas, Ohio and North Carolina, are running away from Pelosi in a harsh political climate. Distancing one's self from the speaker is nothing new for many Democrats, including Edwards, but the number of incumbents criticizing the party House leader is larger than it has been in past election cycles - and the volume of their criticism is louder.

More than a few Democrats have said they are wavering on supporting Pelosi as their leader next year. At least four House Democrats are running ads stating their opposition to the speaker's agenda, and one Democrat running in Tennessee called for her resignation. 
Edwards, rated by independent political analysts as one of the 10 Democrats whose seat is most endangered, goes further than most of his colleagues. He openly critiques his party's entire agenda, saying its leaders "overreached" after the 2008 elections.

Now that the Democratic majority hangs in the balance, so, too, does Pelosi's hold on power. No Democrat is challenging Pelosi for speaker - or minority leader, should the party lose power - and there is no plan underway for a leadership succession if she were to resign after an electoral rout. 

Pelosi's only hope of retaining power when the new Congress convenes in January would be a Democratic sweep of the midterm elections, a highly unlikely scenario, according to both Republican and Democratic strategists.

In the past several days, more than a dozen House Democrats have either suggested they may not support Pelosi for speaker or declared their outright opposition to reappointing her, according to news reports and campaign advertisements.

Since the speaker is elected by a majority vote in the House, Pelosi would have a tough time rounding up enough support even if Democrats maintain a narrow majority.

"If the Democrats hold the majority, it will be by just a couple of seats," said Nathan Gonzales, political editor of the Rothenberg Political Report.

Pelosi faced only token opposition in the past, but this year, as Republicans batter Democratic candidates across the country by tying them to the unpopular Pelosi, opposition is much more substantial. A Pelosi aide said she still plans to run for speaker in January.

Democrats from districts with large numbers of Republican voters have been desperately trying to distance themselves from the California Democrat's liberal agenda, and at least three are promising they will not pick her again as speaker, with many more House Democrats declining to back her publicly.

Rep. Mike McIntyre, a Democrat in a tough re-election race in North Carolina, predicted Tuesday that if Pelosi runs for speaker again another Democrat will run against her.
"I look forward to supporting that opposition," McIntyre said. "I'm confident we are going to have that alternative."
If a second Democrat joined the speaker's race and split the party's vote with Pelosi, House Minority Leader John Boehner, the likely Republican candidate for speaker, would win.

Most political analysts say they believe Pelosi would never allow a three-way race to occur. More likely, they said, Pelosi would quit so Democrats could coalesce around another candidate, such as Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md. Hoyer is considered more centrist than Pelosi and is generally popular within the Democratic caucus.

It wouldn't be the first time a speaker resigned after midterm losses. In 1998, after Republicans shed five seats and barely held on to their majority, Speaker Newt Gingrich stepped aside, accepting the blame for the GOP's poor showing.

Former Rep. Martin Frost, a Texas Democrat who ran the House Democratic campaign arm that year, said Pelosi's prospects are better than Gingrich's were. Frost says she can hold on to her leadership spot, perhaps by negotiating plum committee assignments or legislation with wavering caucus members.

"Democrats as groups are much less inclined throw their leaders over the side as Republicans are," Frost added.

Ron Bonjean, a Republican strategist who served as a top aide to former House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., said Pelosi will have to reassess support after the election.

"Should she choose to run, she could win," Bojean said, "but it would be very tough to pull off, depending on the competition."
