Dan Rather Complains: Republicans 'Demonized' Nancy Pelosi, Turned Her Into a 'Villain'

Newsbusters "RATHER: A bastion of the liberal left. Ideal villain and they made a villain of her and they have demonized her from day one. And what was said earlier, what's made it easy for them is she's been so effective. One wants to remember, when health care was hanging in the balance, she put it on the line for President Obama. And now she pays the price for that. I'm not saying that she shouldn't. This is the way politics are. The Republicans zeroed in on her. Demonized her and did it effectively, unrelentingly so and winds up with eight percent approval rating."

Obama: Agenda 'all at risk' in any Republican romp

Google.com "Obama said losing lawmakers like Reid would make it hard for him to "keep making improvements in the economy."
"Across the board, thing have gotten better over the last two years," Obama said on KPWR. "The question is, can we keep that up? But we can only keep it up if I've got some friends and allies in Congress and in the state houses."

Philly Officials: New Black Panther At Philly Polls 'Doing Nothing'

TPMMuckraker  "The individual appears to be Jerry Jackson, who had a poll-watching certificate back in 2008 and was originally named in the civil voter intimidation case bought in the waning days of the Bush administration. The Obama administration did not pursue the case against Jackson or the national party, but did obtain an injunction against fellow NBPP member King Samir Shabazz, who carried a nightstick."

ABC News Caves Completely to Intolerant Left, Cancels Breitbart Election Night Appearance

Big Peace  "By continuing to release these provably false statements, ABC News is attempting to disguise and cover up for the fact that they are giving in to the PC, anti-free speech forces on thelLeft. Anyone concerned with diversity of opinion and the idea of open, healthy debate should take note of this and the recent firing of Juan Williams from NPR. Major news organizations are caving to those intolerant of the free expression."

Alaska's Red Hot Senate Race

Fox News "Interestingly, the poll found that Miller had the highest negative rating and McAdams has the highest favorable rating. The problem for McAdams is not Joe Miller, but Lisa Murkowski. She appears to be getting significant support from people who like McAdams the most, perhaps from those who think she's got the best chance to beat Miller."

Obama's Economists Missed What Voters Plainly Saw

RealClearPolitics  "...That's one way of looking at it. Another way is to say that the Obama administration and the Democratic Congress have increased government's share of gross domestic product from 21 percent, where it's hovered for the last several decades, to about 25 percent and have put the national debt on a trajectory to increase from 40 to 90 percent of GDP."
"Voters have noticed -- and don't like it."

Biden rally draws 200 people

WTOP.com "Joining Biden were New Castle County executive Chris Coons, who is considered the favorite in his U.S. Senate race against Republican tea party favorite Christine O'Donnell."

Video: The Ad the Media Didn’t Want Delaware to See



Pajamas Media  "Fool me once, etc. I’m not buying the “forgot to air it” excuse. Not when these “mistakes” keep happening to GOP candidates but not Democrats. According to Hot Air, some readers complained, and the cable station blamed the fiasco on Comcast. I’m not buying that either. Not when the mistakes keep helping one side.
"Here’s the ad that Comcast or the staff at that Delaware cable station — or both — didn’t want the voters of that state to see."

Yusuf Islam’s Changing Views: Were Stewart and Colbert Taken In?

Pajamas Media  "But if he has changed, what he has to do is publicly recant his radical fundamentalist views, and apologize formally to Rushdie. If he is indeed a true moderate Muslim, as he wants people to think, nothing less will do. And those who are artists — like Colbert and Stewart — must stand with the likes of Rushdie before giving a platform to the possibly unrepentant Yusuf Islam. That is, unless they prefer to stand by their own illusions and ignore reality. Are liberal comics so dense that cannot do what is right?" Ron Radosh


Yusuf Cat Stevens/ Islam
Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert: Are They Pro-Islamofascist or Just Stupid?  "Although they pretend to be more, they are just mildly talented entertainers with the depth of a petri dish who rely on their writers to stoke them with material and ideas.  And no one told them Cat Stevens supported killing a fellow artist merely for exercising free expression. And unlike many of you, they simply didn’t know themselves.  They thought he was, you know, just a peaceful ex-hippie dude who went Islamic spiritual instead of zen." Roger L Simon

A Time for Choosing

This election is a referendum not on Obama personally, but on Obama as liberal progressive.  "Today’s liberal progressives are directly descended from the “New Left” of the 1960s. By this I do not mean student radicals, SDS members, Yippies, and others of the radical fringe of this movement. Instead, I define the “New Left” as those Americans — largely bearers of college and postgraduate degrees — who sought not merely to ameliorate some of the hardest edges of American life, as FDR did with the New Deal, but rather to transform American life now."

A Vote Against Dems, Not for the GOP "In this environment, it would be wise for all Republicans to remember that their team didn't win, the other team lost. Heading into 2012, voters will remain ready to vote against the party in power unless they are given a reason not to do so.
"Elected politicians also should leave their ideological baggage behind because voters don't want to be governed from the left, the right, or even the center. They want someone in Washington who understands that the American people want to govern themselves."

The Inexplicables

Victor Davis Hanson "What is it with former Democratic presidents? Cannot they let it be and recede into retirement in the manner of a Nixon, Ford, or Reagan? His multimillion overseas speaking junkets to oil rich dictatorships now nullified by Hillary’s tenure as Secretary of State, a restless Bill Clinton is once more still shaking his finger, haranguing the electorate, knee deep in partisan politics, and now caught in intrigue trying to oust the African-American Democratic candidate for US Senate in Florida.
