Liberal Chickens; Virtually every left-wing attack on Bush can legitimately be turned against Obama.

Victor Davis Hanson  "Beneath the folksy veneer and the serial calls for “civility,” Obama proved vicious in his denunciations of George Bush, at one point calling him “unpatriotic” for adding $4 trillion to the national debt over eight years. Obama offered two general arguments: that the chief executive is solely responsible for economic hard times, and that four years is easily long enough to right the ship. Obama scoffed at the Bush defense that politically driven interventions by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae — hand in glove with congressional overseers — had distorted the real-estate market and contributed to the subprime-mortgage collapse, which destroyed an otherwise strong economy. "

....During the Bush administration, the Left established another caricature: the gaffe-prone, golf-playing elitist George Bush. Did they ever imagine that they were ensuring like caricature for the leftist academic Barack Obama, who quite unexpectedly would play golf four times more often in four years than Bush did in eight years?

Republicans are Offering Governance and Leadership   "The Democrats gave up on governance and leadership long ago in favor of the creation of disparate disaffected groups that could be separated and courted with government programs to address their dissatisfaction (real or imagined) with success in our society. "

Paul Ryan: The Right Man in the Right Place at the Right Time   "Ryan vowed that “Medicare is a promise, and we will honor it. A Romney-Ryan administration will protect and strengthen Medicare, for my Mom’s generation, for my generation, and for my kids and yours.”

"As Ryan stated midway through his nomination acceptance speech: “So our opponents can consider themselves on notice. In this election, on this issue, the usual posturing on the Left isn’t going to work. Mitt Romney and I know the difference between protecting a program, and raiding it. Ladies and gentlemen, our nation needs this debate. We want this debate. We will win this debate.” "

Republican committee chair calls Obama an 'unabashed leftist Democrat'
"This is not your daddy's Democrat in the White House," Priebus said ..."He's an unabashed leftist Democrat, an European-style Democrat."

Mr. Barone discusses Obama's likeability vs. Romney's. (What on earth do they find likable about this petulant juvenile president ruling over us now?)
Michael Barone; Team Romney emphasizes Mitt’s differences from the president on the issues.

"The latest ABC/Washington Post poll, for example, reported that when asked which of the two candidates was more likable, 61 percent picked Obama and only 27 percent said Romney. That looks like a huge advantage.

"But when you look at what pollsters call their favorable/unfavorables, the contrast is much less distinct."... 

The Leaker in Chief

Caroline Glick  "Last month, provoked by the Obama White House's penchant for routinely using top secret information to advance its political fortunes on the backs of US allies, agents and armed forces, Latma produced an English-language song we called Tell on Me, to the tune of the immortal words of Ben E. King's masterpiece Stand By Me.
"If you missed it then, here it is again."

"I mention our work because this week a courageous group of former US Special Operations fighters posted a video where they spell out precisely how Obama's leaks imperil US national security. It's already going viral. When I watched it last night it had 57,000 views. Now it's got nearly 250,000.

Defending America Takes More Than “Hope”

Heritage  "Speaking to veterans at the American Legion conference this week, President Obama said, “Today, every American can be proud that the United States is safer, stronger and more respected in the world.”
"That’s quite a statement from a President who has granted legitimacy to extremist organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood and promised the Russians he would be “flexible” toward their demands on missile defense, while slighting American allies like Poland and the Czech Republic.  

"Heritage defense experts call Obama’s defense strategy “a strategy of hope“: “a hope that big wars are a thing of the past; a hope that America’s allies will do more; and a hope that fewer resources do not jeopardize the lives of American soldiers.”  

"These are flimsy hopes in the face of hostile nations and terrorist groups that want nothing more    than the destruction of America."t

Countering Workplace Violence

STRATFOR  "In most cases of workplace violence, the violent outburst is driven by factors that build up over a long period of time, rather than by sudden, traumatic events. Failed romantic relationships or marriages, stress from financial problems, lack of job advancement and perceived (or actual) injustice at the hands of a co-worker or superior are all factors that have led to violent incidents in the workplace.

"The Johnson case fits very closely into the model described above. Confrontations between Johnson and Ercolino had reportedly taken place for about a year before the attack, so there was an obvious buildup. This was also a premeditated attack targeting a specific individual, and the perpetrator was male."  Read more: Countering Workplace Violence | Stratfor

MSNBC’s Schultz and Sharpton Falsely Claim Janesville Plant Closed Under President Bush to Slam Ryan

Conservative Daily News    " Rep. Ryan reiterated that President Barack Obama promised to keep the plant open, but then shut it down.  The left-wingers went rabid and supported  the false narrative that the plant was closed by George W. Bush.

Sharpton said if you want “an eloquent person [Ryan] that does not tell the truth, this was a great performance.” "
Meanwhile, Smilin' Ed said  that the people in is hometown must know that he’s lying about the plant.

"The irony is palpable. In actuality, the plant closed in June of 2009.  The Janesville Gazette reported back in February of 2009 that:"....Read more...

Speaking of MSNBC, you may not believe this, but...

MSNBC's newest race code-word  Chris Matthews is a real racialist piece of work.  "Clearly, the pundits at MSNBC are being driven mad by the success of the GOP convention, particularly Paul Ryan's barn-burner Wednesday night. When desperate that the message of limited govenrment and opportunity is connecting with the American public, they resort to the last, worn-out, obsolete weapon in their arsenal: the race card.
"Last night, they really stretched, and offered a novel theory, that the city of Chicago is actually a code word for black. See for yourself:"

Newt Takes it to Chris Matthews on His 'Racist Thinking'

In the Tunnel Wall
"Chris Matthews, on Monday's Hardball, attacked Newt Gingrich with the same old liberal line about the GOP using racial code words, from Mitt Romney talking about welfare reform to Gingrich calling Barack Obama the "food stamp president." However, the former Speaker of the House wasn't having any of  it, as he hit back: "Why do you assume food stamp refers to black? What kind of racist thinking do you have? Wait a second! Why aren’t you being a racist because you assume it refers to black?" "

RNC Protesters: Pushing the Narrative; On the ground, their behavior is pure Alinsky.

PJ Media  "Of course: no concern was expressed about a war on a conservative women, like Sarah Palin. The talk around Tampa for weeks before the convention was about the booming business that strip club operators hoped to receive from conventioneers. The mayor got in on the act with the club owners, and insulted his Republican guests by joking about a stripping Palin impersonator.

"The “Republican hypocrisy” narrative was made to order for the media. The majority of delegates could be planning to attend prayer meetings, but the media have and will continue to imply that they are frequenting strip clubs. The private entrances were shown on nightly news programs, no evidence required of either booming business or conservative critics of the clubs being the clients. Local news programs, like Channel 10 News, simply ran with the implication: “Grand Ol’ Party: Strip Clubs Expect Busy Week During RNC.”

NRO; Who Racializes Welfare Reform?  "Mr. Matthews’s accusations were, as is his style, presented without evidence or argument, and indeed without anything that might even charitably be called intellectual content."

Eric Allie doubts Matthews', um, intelligence

...."Welfare reform is not about limiting the transfer of money from white taxpayers to non-white welfare recipients, but about ensuring that programs intended to help the poor and ease their transition into the productive economy do not in the end damage the poor, corrupt public institutions, and constrain the economy. "

...."Republicans seek to reverse both of those trends, which would be self-evidently good for all Americans. The best the Democrats can do in such a situation is to shout “Racist!” and so they will."

NEW YORK TIMES FACT CHECKERS: BED REST IS WORK!

Coulter

By Ann Coulter at Human Events    "The New York Times claims that Romney’s ad “falsely” charges Obama with eliminating work requirements. CNN rates the ad “false.” Underemployed hack Howard Fineman says Romney’s ad “is just flat out wrong on the facts” and “that every fair analyst, every fact checker” has said it’s “just factually wrong.”

"When a campaign ad induces this much hysteria, you know Romney has struck gold. On closer examination, it turns out that by “every fair analyst,” Fineman means a bunch of liberals quoting one another." 

 ....  "It is striking that everyone who actually knows something about the 1996 welfare reform law says that Romney’s ad is accurate."
