-Short Attention Span Theater-
Great Campaign Commercials of 2010 (one of a series) -- Joe Miller


It's not Dale Peterson , but you gotta love the snark directed at Lisa Whatsername.

#1  Love it!

That reminds me - tomorrow's payday; I'll have to send Joe some more money. :-D

#2  Wonderful commercial. Murkowski is part of what's wrong with Washington.

#3  She simply see's it as 'HER SEAT'. Same as the rest of the Donks.

#4  Kind of an aside. I saw the Christine O'Donnell debate last night. I suspect most people were riveted on the mine rescue in Chile.

O'Donnell had a reasonable accounting of herself. I could not help but think the CNN debate was stacked against her. It seemed as if she was debating three people who were hostile to her: Woof Blitzer, Nancy Karibjanian, and Coons (or is it Loons?). CNN was trying hard for the Katy Couric gotcha moment. Nancy Karibjanian asked if she could comment on recent SCOTUS decisions. Most people on the street could not answer this question including the CNN personnel. These debates should be handled by someone else--at least someone who is somewhat impartial. No wonder CNN is in the dumper.

Great Moments in Political Ineptitude (one of a never-ending series)
Ed Driscoll, Pajamas Media

I’ve just gotten robo-calls — on two of the three lines that come into my house — from Rodney Glassman, the Democrat who’s currently trailing John McCain by 34 percentage points in the Arizona senatorial election....

...You know what else isn’t smart? Wasting campaign money by calling the 408 area code in Northern California, rather than the 480 area code in Arizona. I wonder how many other people in the San Jose area have gotten robo-called today to attend Glassman’s personal appearance tomorrow 748 miles away, out of state, in Sedona?...

DoJ investigating Illinois overseas military voter procedures - WLS radio

#1  The way the Donk's are dumping experienced Judges of Election, the vote fraud will be staggering even by Illinois standards. But that's ok, Eric Holder and the Media will assure us there is nothing to see here... move along.
If, when you vote, you see something that looks 'wrong' CALL THE US ATTORNEYS OFFICE and report it.

#2  Do wer still have a DoJ?????????
Posted by: armyguy || 10/14/2010 7:43 Comments || Top||

#3  Advise from professional military on war - Don't Ask, Don't Tell.

Protection of service members voting rights - Don't Ask, Don't Tell.

At least the administration is consistent in its policies concerning those who truly serve.

#4  Whitewash.
Posted by: gorb || 10/14/2010 9:40 Comments || Top||

#5  ABSOLUTELY CRIMINAL. Some of the democrats such as Schumer and Bloomberg are expressing faux self-rightous indignation to anyone who will listen. Why is it that it seems to be only the Demonratic controlled states and cities that have this problem?

Just another way to try to stack the election deck by the donks. There was ACORN, Mickey Mouse the registered voter, and the resurrected dead voters as well.

#6  If, when you vote, you see something that looks 'wrong' CALL THE US ATTORNEYS OFFICE and report it.

And to the new DHS SAR Database

#7  The deceased of Illinois have verily earned their rights: they made Kennedy POTUS didn't they?

Approval of Obama at all-time low
Poll says only 43 per cent of Americans approve of their president, the worst rating since he took office in 2009.

#1  Obama IS an all time low.
Posted by: Redneck Jim || 10/14/2010 0:24 Comments || Top||

#2  43 percent may perhaps be a bit elevated, but who can dispute the usually reliable source?
Posted by: Besoeker || 10/14/2010 0:48 Comments || Top||

#3  What fraction of that 43% know the state that Columbus, Ohio is the capitol of?
Posted by: Anguper Hupomosing9418 || 10/14/2010 3:31 Comments || Top||

#4  Ohio's one of the 57 states?
Posted by: Swamp Blondie || 10/14/2010 4:39 Comments || Top||

#5  Obean has some approval left somewhere?

Who knew?!
Posted by: gorb || 10/14/2010 5:47 Comments || Top||

#6 
Percentage of Americans just now realizing Parabellum was correct two years ago when he said 0bama was not qualified to be president at all-time high.
Posted by: Parabellum || 10/14/2010 7:35 Comments || Top||

#7  And gorb, since I was one of the many coinventors of that theory! :-)
Posted by: gorb || 10/14/2010 9:42 Comments || Top||

#8  well if you calculate that 91% of blacks approve of this fraudster even if he uttered that slavery was a good thing since it brought Africans to America, then the number is several points lower.

#9  O should watch the video of the Chilean miners. His approval is somewhere down the shaft.
