Ann Romney claimed before her speech, at the Republican National Convention, " I love you Womennnnnn". I guess women didn't take the bait in this election. They did not vote for husband, nor attempt to adopt his party's ideals. A majority male congress was deciding how to move forward on women's issues. That did not roll over well for women. [read]

Mary Mitchell, columnist for the Chicago Suntimes, said it perfectly. In a nutshell, she claims, "Blacks didn't vote for Obama this time around, because he was black. They voted for him because they were scared to death of the alternative." In all honesty, Black America was extremely offended by the Republican Party. This election may have been a deal breaker. Black America knew that the party did not have their best interest at heart. [read]

The Year 2012 May Alter America's Political Future: A Conservative U.S. Supreme Court May Follow

2012-10-31T20:06:00.001-07:00

This election is extremely important to the Republican Party. In a nutshell, if Republicans were running against a Democratic opponent, at any other time in history, their passion and vigor may not be as diligent. The party's influence is at stake. Republicans will stop at nothing, to attempt to dismiss the current Democratic President, in hope of obtaining a powerful surge for their party. Winning this election, would mean making the U.S. Supreme Court more Conservative, than it has ever been in history. [read]

Recent Gallup Poll

It appears to be a close race. The polls are much unlike they were 6 weeks ago. Prior to the first presidential debate, the president appeared to have had a significant lead.

It definitely isn't over. A stronger Obama appeared in Tuesday night's debate on foreign and domestic policy. It was a town-hall affair this time. Americans were on the other end of the debate questions. Romney stumbled on some topics and Obama brought his drill to the table, as he nailed his opponent on discrepancies. As of yet, polls have not shown a big jump for Obama. Of course, his supporters including Liberals and Democrats are glad he showed up, but it appears Independents are not letting him off that easy.

The Vice Presidential debate is tomorrow night, 9:00 eastern in Danville, Kentucky. The issues on the table are domestic and foreign policy. This is a similar debate menu, for the next round, with President Obama and Mitt Romney, on October 16th. Will Vice President Joe Biden kill the vice presidential debate? He's a killer in rhetoric and I do mean that literally, considering he has had an occasional moment of diarrhea at the mouth. [read]

It appears that President Obama missed an opportunity to nail Mitt Romney during the presidential debate. After all, he had plenty of room to do so, after Romney's series of gaffes and blunders within recent weeks. He attacked the Obama and an U.S. Embassy regarding the recent attacks in Libya. Leaked footage surfaced of Mitt saying that 47% Americans are dependent on government, and will vote for Obama. In an interview last week, he claimed that the uninsured has the option of going to the emergency room for care...[read]

Tonight's Presidential Debate May Be Better Than Monday Night Football

2012-10-03T01:24:00.001-07:00

The first presidential debate is tonight and I am severely eager to see what is on the table. Topic up for discussion is domestic policy, in conjunction, government implemented programs, the very things Republicans and Mitt Romney would rather do away with. The debates are possibly Mitt Romney's last hurrah to prove himself to the American people.[read]

Republicans are irritated by the media's attempt at inquiring about issues such as abortion, especially since Rep. Todd Akins of Missouri ignited all sort sort criticism last week, regarding the topic. Critics feel that Todd Akins' views are simply a replica of what has been iterated by the party. [read]

I really wish folks would get it. Many of our politicians work on behalf of Big Money and Special Interest Groups. Both parties are guilty. The proof is right in front of our eyes. The Super-PAC business should be evidence of political impurity. Some of Paul Ryan's political handlings are surfacing, as he steps on the national stage for his vice-presidential campaign. [read]

Mitt Romney's Vice Presidential pick, Paul Ryan feels that we need to incorporate austere approaches in the midst of an economic plight. If we end safety net programs, the poor will pretty much get off their lazy behinds. This appears to be his tone as he promotes his agenda. If Mitt's campaign planned to garner women and supporters in the middle, then they are failing miserably. He brings more of the same to a banal campaign. [read]

Obama's Campaign is indeed in Trouble: Scott Walker's Trail of Persistence is Foretelling

2012-06-07T20:47:00.002-07:00

Democratic supporters are criticizing Obama for not endorsing Mayor Tom Barrett, the Democratic opponent, for the recall election against Governor Scott Walker in Wisconsin. Folks would like to point fingers and blame someone for what did not happen there. To put it simply, the people of Wisconsin failed to remove their controversial governor. Walker's campaign was able to demonize the presence of unions, the very institution that guaranteed paychecks of workers. It just boils down to one simple thing. People just don't get out to vote.

Gary E. Johnson, the former governor of New Mexico, ran for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, offering a quirky style and a platform — legalization of marijuana! — that seemed out of sync with voters. But despite dropping out of the Republican race a week before the Iowa caucuses, Mr. Johnson has not given up his hopes of competing for the White House in November. [Read article at NY Times]

"It was a birthday gift to me because I love the fact that we're talking about this. ... I love the fact that women are talking about deficit spending and the economy, I love that."
