Much to the ill-concealed chagrin of the DNC, the MSM and Fifth Column fans everywhere, the abundant enthusiasm and overflow crowds at R&R rallies appear to be genuine hallmarks of an abiding love of limited government and a center-right citizenry finally shaking off their apathy, rather than the simple patriotic frisson the Left had been hoping for.

Saw an article about his Occidental application, it was damning. More and more, I think he is a total fake. A+++

Saw an article about his Occidental application, it was damning.

Yet the left keeps harping about 10 more years of Romney's tax returns.

Mitt should make available photo copies of the bottom line--how much he paid in taxes each year, without revealing the corresponding total income. If the return shows he paid $2 million, for example, it means he paid more than the combined payments of 200 or so average people. And the public wouldn't find out if that $2 million was based on income of $5, $10, or even $50 million. And it would prove that Harry Reid is a liar, in case anyone needed proof.

Obama was hardly forthcoming about his Rezko dealings, yet he was elected. His Treas. Sec. cheated on his income taxes, yet got the job. And those losers want him to prove dirtyHarryReid isn’t lying? I could care less.

November may bring a frisson of hope, or a paroxysm of despair.

I am hopeful, but dang, that SCOTUS decision on hc has me on edge about the election. I will breathe a huge sigh of relief when it is over. A++

The whole pile on Slow Joe Biden movement is giving me a frisson of fear.

Keep Joe.

Stand up Chuck ;)

So true that it needed to be said twice.

Is that bakery that refused the photo op w/JoeyB near you? I hear the Secret Service even went back to buy stuff at the bakery after they threw Joey out. Made me laugh. So did the pundit on tv. The “you didn’t build that” line will cause Obama lots more grief before this election is over.

Just the dog. I felt sorry for the family though since they could not sleep with all the barking. Once I know the dog is not in any real distress, I can sleep right through it. But the spouse looks exhausted this am.

Ever wonder where the term "No rest for the wicked" comes from? It comes from patriots whose constitutional ardor is more than mere republican frisson.

Bears repeating.

Radford is down in the center of the state, about 3 hours from here.

I have heard it said that LDS must submit tax returns to their church to prove they are tithing.
