Alan Caruba: Stupid Voters
Warning Signs "The voters have paid a fearful price for electing Obama; increased unemployment, a huge national debt, a hollowed-out military, billions wasted on “Green” energy, unprotected borders, a Congress in near total gridlock, and a world beyond our shores that perceives an America made weaker by Obama’s three years in office."....
"So, to say that those who voted for him were “stupid” is to misread the new era of politics, one that has more to do with “American Idol” and “Dancing With the Stars” than with the serious selection of the leader of the nation and the free world.
"As they say in advertising, voters bought the sizzle, not the steak."
Barack Obama, the choice of these celebrities:
And these.

Karl Rove: It'd be nice if President Obama had a record to defend. But he doesn't, and I've gotten over it.
WSJ; Channeling David Axelrod: "These State of the Union addresses are fine, but I'm glad it's over. In that setting it's hard to use a baseball bat to club Republicans. Now we can and will—for nine straight months. Plouffe was saying it would be nice if we actually had a record we could defend and a positive vision to offer. I told him we don't—and get used to it. Let's make a virtue of simplicity. Our job, as we say around here, is to savage the GOP nominee, grind him to dust, turn him into a freak. I'm ready. After all, it's the Chicago Way."

"Hakim Awad’s mother sent her regards to her son, proudly describing him as the perpetrator of the Itamar attack and that he was sentenced to 5 consecutive life sentences.
"Awad’s aunt then proceeded to describe her nephew as a “hero and a legend.” "
What is WikiLeaks' Julian Assange's position on the "collateral damage" caused by THESE people?

Newt, are you STILL here?
Posted by me in the Tunnel Wall, June 13, 2011: Exit Gingrich
Newt and the Truth Factor "The most important lesson that GOP candidates can learn from the Gingrich freefall is that honesty counts. Newt Gingrich wasn't honest, and it will probably cost him the Florida primary and the GOP nomination. President Obama has a propensity to play loose with the facts, too, and with his "performance record" being what it is, you can bet that he will throw out lots of information that won't pass the truth test. Will it cost him a second term as president? I hope so, but the eventual GOP nominee must be willing to challenge the president's claims when they are patently false to make sure that it does." (Emphasis added)
Somehow the moment we've all salivated over- the confronting of the liberal press by one of our guys- has evaporated into the ether.
Rick Moran: What's gone wrong with the Gingrich campaign? "Howard Fineman thinks there are 5 reasons for Newt's decline:"
Charles Krauthammer: The GOP’s suicide march "The president is a very smart man. But if he wins in November, that won’t be the reason. It will be luck. He could not have chosen more self-destructive adversaries."
Michael Barone "Through all this, Gingrich always was searching for ideas that commanded 70 percent support. He understood that dovish Democrats’ disdain for American exceptionalism was a grave political liability and sought to exploit it. But after his first moments in the spotlight as speaker, he turned off voters. I think he reminded them of the high-school nerd/egghead whom all the other kids disliked." (source: Tunnel Wall Bloopers)I still have this image of Newt being escorted off the set of "What Not to Wear" by some security guys.

WHEN NEWT WENT TO OXFORD "In his Washington Post column speculating what an Obama-Gingrich debate would look like, Claremont-McKenna Professor John Pitney recalls the February 1985 Oxford Union debate on American foreign policy in Central America."...

How Marxism Killed Keystone
Bruce Thornton ...."Obama’s decision is in fact both political and ideological, a mollifying bone tossed to the bicoastal progressive elites on whom Obama depends for campaign contributions and political support.
"For these affluent urban-dwellers, the cult of environmentalism is a cheap way to indulge a vaguely leftist dislike of industrial capitalism while enjoying all the benefits that a high-tech, oil-fueled, free-market economy confers on them."
