58th Rant: The General Election and the Presidential Candidates

With the election 26 days away, I got my absentee ballot in the mail yesterday. Now I know who I will be voting for in the Presidential race so the debates will not be affecting that decision. HOWEVER, one thing did catch my eye. That being the number of candidates running for the President. I managed to save a copy of the General Election Ballot (and you can see what I have to vote for in northeast Lee County, Florida, HERE if you are interested) and on page 1 after the instructions in the left hand column I moved my eyes past the Romney/Ryan ticket and the Obama/Biden ticket (the two tickets which MATTER in this particular election as all others are a vote for Obama anyhow in my well-researched book) and just counted the other presidential tickets running. Here is what I had found out:
  1. Thomas Robert Stevens/Alden Link (OBJ) Objectivist Party
  2. Gary Johnson/James P. Gray (LBT) Libertarian Party; on ballots of all states except in Michigan and Oklahoma where its ballot access has been challenged. (515 Electoral)
  3. Virgil H. Goode Jr./James N. Clymer (CPF) Constitution Party; on ballots in Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming - (257 Electoral) with write-in ballot access in Arizona, California, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Montana, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, Vermont, West Virginia (214 Electoral) for a total of 471 Electoral
  4. Jill Stein/Cheri Honkala (GRE) Green Party; on ballots in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, DC, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin - (447 Electoral) with write-in ballot access in Connecticut, Georgia, Indiana, Missouri (44 Electoral) for a total of 491 Electoral
  5. Andre Barnett/Kenneth Cross (REF) Reform Party USA
  6. Stewart Alexander/Alex Mendoza (SOC) Socialist Party USA
  7. Peta Lindsay/Yari Osorio (PSL) Party for Socialism and Liberation
  8. Roseanne Barr/Cindy Sheehan (PFP) Peace and Freedom Party
  9. Tom Hoefling/Jonathan D. Ellis (AIP) American Independent Party
  10. Ross C. “Rocky” Anderson/Luis J. Rodriguez (JPF) Justice Party; on ballots in Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Washington - (152 Electoral) with write-in ballot access in Alabama, Alaska, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, DC (175 Electoral) for a total of 327 Electoral (It is interesting to note also that The Justice Party is a new party that was formed on December 13, 2011)
  11. Write-in
That’s right there is 24 people (plus whoever others want if the write-in candidate is counted) that are out to divide the vote just on the Florida ballot ALONE. I am sure in other states there are many others who I had not mentioned. Like I said in earlier rants (see Rants 33, 34, 45 and 53) this year, this election is WAY TOO IMPORTANT to waste it on the crumb bums and the shoe clerks (credit to ESPN’s World Series of Poker commentator Norman Chad) that are running for other parties.
The ten tickets I mentioned above are spoiler candidates, with Gary Johnson being a spoil sport because he dropped out of the Republican Presidential Nomination. To me object #1 is and always has been to evict Barack Obama out of the PEOPLE’S White House, and in my mind (as well as the mind of many others) Mitt Romney is the man to do the job. Object #2 this election is to give Mitt Romney a Republican House and Senate to do the job with. I will get to that in another rant.
It is also interesting to note that of the 10 third party tickets which have formal access to ballots or who have write-in access, only 5 of them have access to 270 or more electoral votes according to my research. The other 5 third party tickets either have no access to 270 electoral votes or do not wish to publicize just which ballots they are on. What are those other 5 hiding? We will never know unless they decide to open up.
Bottom line is there are too many tickets running for President, and seeing 12 tickets on my absentee ballot this year kind of reminds me of the Republican Presidential Primary when there were 10 people running. There should be SOME way to coalesce the other third-party tickets, especially since many of them think and feel the same way anyhow.

56th Rant: The battle for America the next month (#WAR and #ThisMeansWAR)

In the Own Your Narrative at the Own The Narrative Network group yesterday, I came across this wonderful post by Bill LaRussa Jr. (aka Titan92 on Own The Narrative and @TonyKatzMane on Twitter):
OK, so quick thing (Alright, maybe not so quick - TWSS):
I was LITERALLY outraged when when I clicked on Drudge in the wee hrs of the morning to see that "Wow, only 114K jobs added in September. Maybe the Unemp rate even went up a tad to 8.2%." Then the outrage started when the # reported was an impossible 7.8%. "How absolutely fucking convenient" I howled to Texas or Busted on a skype call. Not even 2 g-damn days after Obama gets publicly humiliated in front of 70M people at debate, now he can change the subject for the weekend (and likely any momentum) while his sycophants in the media trump up this fraudulent (Yes, I said it, FRAUDULENT) stat to shepherd the 10-20% Idiocracy portion of the voting public.
Now, y'all that know me well enuf know that I was one of the earliest supporters of Mitt Romney during the primary season (around Oct 2011). I stood my ground against all comers & made my arguments - and pissed the shit out of a # of fellow conservatives/libertarians too. But to me it was worth it. Why? Not to sound hokey, but I believed in this guy when most conservatives - and almost all activist ones - did not. I believed then & I believe even more now after Wed debate that Mitt Romney was meant for us as President at this moment in time. I'll spare y'all the laundry list of reasons, but I still believe them. He's even grown as candidate since the primaries.
("Titan, will you get to the effing point already?" Okay, I will.) Having said all this, I had my biggest moment of doubt about Mitt's chances of victory minutes before I clicked offline & finally went to catch some zzzz. My crisis-of-confidence moment now barely a month away from election day, when the rubber finally meets the road. Thinking (and texting to 2 political buddies) "You know, maybe this country really cant handle this whole self-governing experiment. These Chicago political M-fers on the other side will just win no matter how they can win, truth & evidence be damned. Screw it all. Blah blah blah blah blah."
Then I read a story posted by one of my best amigas on the Internets, Karen Siegemund (who I hope I get to some day meet in the real world. Chat her up, she's good people - even for a Blue Stater :)). My random response to the story - about Obama team taking a woman @ Paul Ryan town hall out of context with her question & Paul's subsequent response (Yeah, imagine that!) was "#WAR, Karen." In that moment I was snapped back to reality of what's in front of us: 32 days to get this won & the way to combat these BS tactics by the Chicago Thuggery campaign is by channeling the Late Andrew Breitbart (God rest his soul.). Hell I have his damn pic as my freaking avatar. Give up? HELL NO. 32 days to go & everything we do to help turn out BH Obama should be with one Breitbart quote in mind: WAR! Concede no point to the other side. WAR! Don't even refer to BS manipulated statistics like the reported unemp rate, but state that there are over 24 million people out of work & millions of others working shitty part-time jobs because they have to. WAR! Accuse Mitt Romney of lying during the debate, while your own spokeslady Stephanie Cutter basically concedes Obama lied about the $5T Romney tax cut. WAR!
You see the point. I'm snapped back into it. Hope everyone will be in the foxhole with me for 32 more days, because the tough part hasn't even started yet.
#WAR
What Titan said is oh so very true. We are 31 days away from the election, and we have not even gotten through the toughest part yet. In the words of John Paul Jones, we “have not yet begun to fight!” This election is WAY TOO IMPORTANT to just give up now. We must continue to press ahead if we must endure.
Titan had used the famous quote #WAR in his speech. Let me play the clip from CPAC in February 2012 where Andrew Breitbart spoke those famous words which I use as my motto for this election.
That is right ladies and gentlemen, if you are not behind Mitt Romney right now, Saturday October 6, then more than shame on you because you are on the other side. And to expand on Breitbart’s famous quote #WAR, I will go on to say that #ThisMeansWAR. And here is what I mean:
So for all of you who are voting for Barack Obama or any of the irrelevant third party candidates who want a fight, you got more than that. You just got a
#WAR!
Yes that is right you liberals, you Occupy sycophants, you third party HACKS, my declaration to you is #ThisMeansWAR!

55th Rant: The Tea Party and this particular presidential election

A couple of days on Facebook, my friend Guy R. Smith wrote a letter which really puts this election in perspective

This Particular Presidential Election for My Tea Party Compatriots

Do you know why I'm willing to vote for, as many people want to frame it, the lesser of two evils this November? Because the other real choice in this Presidential Pageant is truly evil to the core. The determining factor to me is this; I have no question of Mr. Romney's love and respect for our Country, our Culture and our Society. And I have no question of the Dalibama's hate and disdain for our Country, our Culture and our Society. Everything else only rates a far distant second in this particular Presidential Pageant.

The only way we are going to effect the kind of changes many Constitution loving and Libertarian leaning Americans espouse to is through the legislature not the President. We're making solid inroads in this endeavor in each election. My biggest disappointment in this election cycle so far is that We The People flushed $100 million+ down the figurative toilet chasing this silly Presidential Pageant decoy that the political establishment distracts us with every four years. Can you imagine what we could have done if those dollars had been invested in the campaigns of 100 real conservative House and Senate candidates?

But we're just 3 or 4 years into learning how this game is really played and we're learning fast. We'll make major changes in the operation of the GOP over the next couple of years because we're learning how that part works too. And we'll equal or exceed the Congressional progress we made in 2010 in the elections of 2014. Again because we'll have this election cycle under our belts and we'll adjust, improvise and improve between now and 2014. We didn't get here in a couple of election cycles and we won't back to where we need to be a couple of election cycles either. But we'll get back there a lot quicker than they got us here.

And after doing real research into who Mr. Romney is and his actual record, not the distortions put out in the primaries by Gingrich, Santorum, Perry and the rest of the GOP establishment candidates recruited by the Party to block Mr. Romney, as well as the distortions of the Dimocrats, I believe he has the right stuff to be a good, if not great President.

That's why voting for the, as they put it, "lesser of two evils" in this particular election is not a choice, it's the only choice, period.

What Guy had said is oh so true indeed. This election, the ONLY choice is to get rid of Obama. And as I had been saying in the past, the only one who has the ONLY ROAD to do it is Mitt Romney. Otherwise, there might not be any more elections to where we can make a difference. Keep in mind how Hitler came into power in the late 1920’s and early 1930’s. He did it through manipulation and deceit. In 1990 I had said that Saddam Hussein was like Hitler when he invaded Kuwait and that if he were not stopped, he would invade Saudi Arabia and then the rest of the Arabian Peninsula and Northern Africa. Saddam in my mind was the military Hitler while right now Obama is the political Hitler, taking over the country using the political system for his gains. In 2008 he was elected on the promise of Hope and Change, and he is indeed doing that by changing America from a Capitalist society to a socialist one. If we do not stop him in November, then he will continue to fundamentally transform this country into a Socialist nation.

54th Rant: Obama Voters

Take a listen to this video from 2010

Parasite #1

Yes, this is a typical Obama voter who just wants things handed to her thanks to Obama, and if you do not like it then you are a racist. THIS is the mindset of many people who we are going up against come November. Also, there is this beaut as well which was taken from the Rush Limbaugh show a couple of years ago:

Parasite #2

and of course who could forget about this from before the 2008 election:

Parasite #3

These are typical of many of the mooches and leeches and parasites that are plaguing America thanks to the policies of Barack Obama. We have 46 days to show many people what 47% of Americans (if not more) believe in. As Newt Gingrich had said during the primaries, Obama is the Food Stamp President. Obama is looking to give a handout and not a way to give people support to stand on their own two feet. His economic policies have driven America to the brink of another depression.

Bottom line is if you are looking for a handout, vote for Obama. If you are looking for a hand up to get you on your own two feet and move ahead, vote for Romney. The future of America depends on it.

Never Forget What Happened 11 Years Ago

EagleCryingRemember9-11-01

I know I will not. In fact, I remember exactly where I was on this day 5 years ago when I first heard about the plane striking the World Trade Center. I was at a McDonald's enjoying breakfast and listening to a local sportsradio broadcaster broadcast live from there when he broke for his 45 minutes past the hour break. I was about to walk over to him during the break and say that I wanted to speak about Michael Jordan's return to basketball and play for the Washington Wizards when I looked at his face which is that of shock. At first report it seemed to me like a small plane and that it was a freak accident, but when I heard of the second plane hit the World Trade Center I knew that this had to be some sort of planned attack. I spent the entire 9:00 hour glued to his little broadcast station as he had a set of headphones which I listened to the producer back at the station speak to him and updating him. There were other callers who chimed in with updates from the televised newscasts. After the show ended I hung around for a small time listening, then the host's dad offered to drive me to teh college where I could watch the TV in the library as well as get current updates on the internet. While en route I phoned my mom and stepdad to tell them what had happened. My stepdad told me that he had heard about it and that mom was going to get me and tell me but she saw that I was gone. When I went into the library at the college to watch the news, I almost fell to the floor upon seeing the planes striking the Towers and the Pentagon. About 11:45 I got word that the college was closing and called my grandma in Chicago to ask her if she and dad knew what was happening. She said that dad was on the way to the store but that they knew what was going on. After I spoke to grandma I went home and kept the news on the TV all the time, gasping and getting angry as to what happened.

I urge people to NEVER forget this day for as long as they live. I encourage everyone no matter where they are that if they have the American flag to unfurl it and wave it proudly, for as Frankin Delano Roosevelt said of another terrible day in American History, "This is a day which will go down in infamy."

It is amazing how 5 years later, the horrific events of 9-11 still affects people. A lady who checked the terrorists onto that first flight that hit the towers killed herself because she couldn't deal with the guilt. Also, another checker who did the second flight.... is still five years later in intense therapy. This I had found out from a woman who I had seen in a chat room where I visit often. I guess this is a lot like Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome.

Those words, written September 11, 2006, still hold true today. While the main proponents of the September 11, 2001, attacks are either dead or still imprisoned awaiting trial, we must not remember what happened that fateful day. We had been at war with Muslim extremists ever since 1784 when the first American vessel was seized by Moroccan pirates. That led to the formation of the United States Navy in March 1794 and us taking the battle to them. The Middle East has always been in the interest of the United States, as seen by historian Michael Oren in a speech given at Columbia University entitled The Middle East and the Making of the United States, 1776 to 1815. In fact, Oren had said that the Middle East 's Impact on American Affairs Is Nothing New. Not many know or realize this, but it is true.

The Middle East will always have an impact on American affairs, regardless of who is in the White House or has control of the House of Representatives and the Senate. The only question is how the people in control of those offices handle the affairs coming out of the Middle East. Even though many people hate President George W. Bush, he knew how to handle the affairs out of the Middle East. In fact, if it were not for the intelligence and the protocols already in place, Obama would not have had the opportunity to order the death of Osama bin Ladin.

53rd Rant: An open letter to ALL Americans (Post-Convention Speech)

Here we sit at 59 days until the election, exactly 2 months from today we will vote for the direction we want America to go. Now, many people are still pushing the third party bolshoi of either Gary Johnson or Ron Paul or others, but I have espoused the failures of a third party vote many MANY times since March, which you can read at my 33rd rant and my 34th rant as well as my 45th rant and also listen to at my show on the June 23rd edition of Red, Right, and Blue. Allow me to reiterate those rants and the entire show once more so those of you who insist that voting third party is the way to go:

THIS ELECTION IS WAY TOO IMPORTANT TO VOTE THIRD PARTY!

In other words, a vote for a third party, a write-in vote, or a no vote this year IS a vote for Obama. If you do not believe me, then you need look no further than 1992 where Ross Perot gave us 8 years of Bill Clinton. I say 8 years as we all know that Bob Dole would have lost to Clinton in 1996 because he did not energize the base. This year we saw a Republican Convention where 90% of the speakers had given us enough oomph and impetus to vote for Romney. Even Newt Gingrich, who was harshly criticized by Romney during the Primaries, had even praised Mitt Romney and going so far as to compare him to Ronald Reagan during his speech. Don’t believe me? Take a listen.

We have also heard speeches from many future stars of the Republican Party such as Susana Martinez, Nikki Haley, Luis Fortuño, and Marco Rubio. Be on the lookout for Fortuño and Rubio sometime in the future as they will be the next president. And yes, they ARE BOTH ELIGIBLE as they are natural-born citizens. I am also thinking Haley and Martinez could make a run for the Presidency as well. The bottom line is that the Republican Convention had shown that we have a good bench to support Romney.

Now on the Democrat side of Washington, we do not see that much of a bench from them, and we even see that they are the most divisive of all. We see that in who they have as speakers, and also in their removal of God and Israel from the platform, only to put it back in after being called out by not only Bret Baier of Fox News Channel but also by many others.

And even then, as seen below, there has been a battle over it. Take a listen.

With the comparison and the battle of Conservative vs. Liberal and Republican vs. Democrat, all a third party will do FOR THIS ELECTION will serve to continue the divisiveness and thus ensure another 4 years to Obama to destroy this nation. I do not want that, and I know in all of your hearts you do not want it either. As I mentioned in my rants, this election you are either ALL-IN for Romney or you are ALL-IN for Obama. And if you vote third party, write in a vote, or stay at home, then you are in fact by default voting for Obama and the destruction of this nation. As Andrew Breitbart said at CPAC back in February (which is my motto for this election), “If you are not in the bunker because you are dissatisfied with this candidate, more than shame on you. You are on the other side.” In fact, let me play that clip for you once more so it will become clearer.

I said it before, and I will say it again: “IF we do not vote for Mitt Romney in November, then this WILL be our future during an Obama second term

(Video removed by user. find the audio at http://www.4shared.com/mp3/pNgbGs0m/Palpatine_Speech.html?refurl=d1url

I said it before, and I will say it again. As was mentioned by Joshua after the initial conquest of Canaan (found in the biblical book of Joshua 24:15) “[And] if it disagreeable in your sight to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves today who you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River; or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” That verse is also applicable today. If it is disagreeable in your sight to vote for Mitt Romney, choose for yourselves today who you will vote for; whether Obama who has led America into the hell it is in; or the other minor candidates who will only serve as a front for Obama this year; but as for me and Conservative Nation Radio, we will vote for Romney.

52nd Rant: An open letter to ALL Registered Republicans (Pre-Convention speech)

Dear all Registered Republicans,

Here we sit at 85 days from the November 6 General Election (as well as 16 days away from the start of the Republican Convention) and yet here we are still griping and complaining over something which we absolutely, positively CANNOT change. Instead of whining that our “preferred candidate” (whether it be Herman Cain or Newt or Santorum or even Ron Paul) is not the nominee we CAN get behind Mitt Romney (who IS the nominee) and do whatever it takes to get Barack Obama out of the White House in November.

For all intents and purposes, the primaries were over with back in April when Romney got out to that early lead, which meant that he was able to coast all the way through until the last Tuesday in May, when the primary in Texas put him over the top of the 1144 delegates needed for the nomination. It was also in April when he focused primarily on where the target of all of our disdain and degradation SHOULD be, that being on Barack Obama’s failed policies and no positive record. It SHOULD have been back in April when we all needed to coalesce behind Romney and focus on Obama. Instead, we have been spending the past 4 months griping about how “fixed” the primaries had been and also about how “unelectable” Romney is. That is NOT a way to take America back in November. Rather, that is a way of taking your ball and going home just because you are not willing to play by the rules and want things YOUR way!

Now I admit I am also upset that my candidate (first Herman Cain and then when he was forced out on December 3, 2011, due to some false accusations by some women who I like to term as “one-hit wonders” because they were ONLY out to harm his successful campaign, Newt Gingrich) is not the nominee. HOWEVER, I am not one to complain about it because it does nothing but derail me from my overall purpose of ensuring that Obama is defeated in November. Let us put our differences about who is the best candidate to defeat Obama in November and actually get behind the one who the PEOPLE chose OVERWHELMINGLY to go up against Obama.

We would do well to heed these wise words from great historical figures:

    • A house divided against itself cannot stand – Abraham Lincoln (spoken in 1858 at the acceptance of the Republican nomination for the United States Senate, quoting the Bible)
    • Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste and any city or house divided against itself shall not stand – Jesus Christ (found in the Bible in Matthew 12:25, which Abraham Lincoln quoted above)
    • We must, indeed, all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately. – Benjamin Franklin (said at the signing of the Declaration of Independence)

IF we do not get behind Mitt Romney between now and the Convention, then we might as well kiss this country goodbye because we are playing RIGHT INTO Obama’s hands. He is sitting up there in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue (commonly called the PEOPLE’S White House but now is Communism Central) just rubbing his hands as America burns. And why is America burning? Because WE THE PEOPLE are fighting amongst ourselves instead of taking the fight to Obama and the Democrats WHERE IT TRULY BELONGS. We are also letting Obama dictate what should be talked about (the social issues, the tax records, all the things which my good friend Titan92 of Own The Narrative considers “shiny objects”) and not what are TRULY IMPORTANT. (the 8.3% REPORTED unemployment rate, the 15% REAL unemployment rate the 40+ months of unemployment over 8%, the millions of people leaving the workforce, the $16T of debt, the fact that the Democrats in Congress have not passed a budget in almost 1300 days)

If you TRULY want to save America, then you will get behind Mitt Romney no matter what your principles or beliefs are and get Obama OUT of office. Otherwise, as Andrew Breitbart had said back at CPAC in February of this year, “if you're not in that bunker 'cause you're not satisfied with this candidate, more than shame on you. You're on the other side.” As a matter of fact, let me play that clip.

I said it before, and I will say it again: “IF we do not vote for Mitt Romney in November, then this WILL be our future during an Obama second term

As was mentioned by Joshua after the initial conquest of Canaan (found in the biblical book of Joshua 24:15) “[And] if it disagreeable in your sight to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves today who you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River; or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” That verse is also applicable today. If it is disagreeable in your sight to vote for Mitt Romney, choose for yourselves today who you will vote for; whether Obama who has led America into the hell it is in; or the other minor candidates who will only serve as a front for Obama this year; but as for me and Conservative Nation Radio, we will vote for Romney.

51st Rant: We are at the Two Minute Warning in America now

Let me start by playing a short two minute video which was played earlier in the year

This video by Clint Eastwood (shown during the Super Bowl in February) makes a statement that it is halftime in America. Now I will take it one step further and say that right now we are at the two minute warning in America. The Republican and Democrat Conventions (coming up the last week in August and the first week in September respectively) are what I will consider for all intents and purposes as the two minute warning, with the mid-term elections being halftime. The breakdown I have is as follows:

  • First quarter – the inauguration of the Congress and then the President
  • Halftime – the Mid-Term elections and the inauguration of the subsequent Congress
  • Two minute warning – the Conventions
  • End of game – the election until the inauguration of the Congress

At halftime we had changed the course of the Congress when we won the House of Representatives in 2010. Granted we failed to get the Senate, but at least we put the stop to the total overhaul of the country into overt Socialism. We need to keep that edge up until November and beyond. We need to reclaim the Senate and get rid of Obama.

Right now the Democrats appear to be playing a prevent defense. For those of you who do not follow football, a prevent defense is usually done to prevent the opposing team from completing a long pass in order to win the game. So in a sense they are giving the opposing team the short play and also prevent them from getting to the sidelines so they can keep the clock going. Obama, Reid, and Pelosi are throwing all of these minor issues out there (abortion, gay marriage, Mitt Romney’s tax returns, Occupy Wall Street, Romney’s gaffes, etc.) out there as a way to deflect from the main issue of jobs and the economy. They are our form of the short passes for now as a way of throwing the Democrats off target and then when November 6 comes around, they will not know what hit them when they lose because they hang their hats on all of their main issues.

As famous NFL analyst John Madden once said, "All a prevent defense does is prevent you from winning." I will go on record now and say that all the minor issues the Democrats throw out there will prevent them from winning in November. May each and every one of us keep the eyes on the target of the White House and Congress in November and take it back with the ammo of jobs and the economy.

50th Rant: Good speech for America

For this rant, I will let this video speak for itself. Take a listen and enjoy Congressman Mike Kelly, Republican from Pennsylvania’s 3rd district representing Erie.
