Most devastating commentary on this election yet. That it is even close is an appalling judgment on half of American society.

The Benghazi coverup just may be breaking at the exact best possible time to sink The Lightbringer.

The entire Food Stamp Administration is corrupt to the core. I seriously doubt that there is a single person in the administration with any character, honor, integrity, honesty, etc. The entire administration reminds me of those creatures that reside on the bottom of the ocean waiting greedily to feed on whale sh!t.

Absolutely, devastatingly true. This should be required reading for every American.

His description of the behavior of Obama and Biden at the funeral for the four heroes:

But the near-parodic locker-room coarseness is grotesque both in its inaptness and in its lack of basic human feeling for a bereaved family forced to grieve in public and as crowd-scene extras to the political bigshot. Just about the only formal responsibility a vice president has is to attend funerals without embarrassing his country. And this preening buffoon of pseudo-blue-collar faux-machismo couldn’t even manage that.

Øbama should be tried and found guilty of TREASON and receive the Constitutionally prescribed punishment.

Put some ice on that Barry. I wonder if the one even knew what was going on or did Valerie Jarrett tuck him in saying “Don’t worry I got This”

“The Benghazi coverup just may be breaking at the exact best possible time to sink The Lightbringer.”

Just personally, of course, I never underestimate the power of a novena; and there is a massive one going on right now.

My late father’s generation would already be on the DC mall and White House lawn with pitchforks, tar & feathers and assorted other equipment, if you get my drift...

I am not so sure of that. They elected Roosvelt four times.

It is not so much the temper of the people, it is what they know, and what they know that is not so.

A great number of people in the U.S.A. Know a lot that is not so.

Steyn eviscerates!

He’s a big picture guy who can tie it all together and turn a phrase like no one else!

... decency requires that they be voted out of office as an act of urgent political hygiene.

It makes me unhappy knowing that such rotten people exist.

It was Roosevelt or communism/fascism, in many minds. Many thought that “capitalism” had failed them. They were wrong, of course, but at least they didn’t go the way of Stalin or Hitler.

I have nothing but respect for the dignity and control of Mr. Charles Woods, father of one of the murdered SEALs.

Under similar circumstances, if I had a child in a casket, and Joe Biden asked “Did your son always have balls the size of cue balls?” I would have been wrestled to the ground by the Secret Service, after trying to beat the s#!t out of Biden, and been carted off to federal prison.

The current so-called leaders of the USA are even worse than Caligula ever was for Rome. They make me sick, and they besmirch the memory of every American who shed their blood and lives for this country.

Obama concerning the elimination of Al Qaeda as a threat: Mission accomplished.

The media laughed at Bush. They aren’t laughing now.

This is the perfect storm. Romney is covering the economy and letting the details leak to the press without any comment. If pressed, he can simply refer to the harsh words he stated at the beginning and look prophetic. Folks, if this blows up to epic proportions, we might win CA.

Same here.

If able to check my anger, I’d have asked “Did you always have a brain the size of a BB?”

From the beginning the MSM framed Romney as the emcumbant and let Obama play the part off the clever pragmatist. This what happens when a community activist becomes a rebel without a cause. Now, Romney has embraced the image he was framed with, he owns it. And, Obama appears desperate and even flailing.

No they didn’t. But they did elect an administration with a ton of commies, including at least one that worked in the FDR inner circle. Read, The Haunted Wood for starters.
