That’s the takeaway from a new SurveyUSA poll of 524 likely voters that shows Obama trailing Mitt Romney, albeit by the slimmest of margins (45% to 44% with 6% undecided) and well within the margin of error range. That’s a significant shift from only a month ago, when a WRAL News survey of registered voters […]
Pat McCrory took a lot of heat during his last gubernatorial bid for being sluggish in response to attack ads launched by the Bev Perdue camp. Looks like the former Charlotte mayor isn’t taking any chances this time around, going so far as filing a complaint with the FCC about a new ad Democrats are […]
Liars to the left of me and liars to ~ well, okay, the left of me. The wannabe senator fauxcahontas – aka Elizabeth Warren – still claims that she is Cherokee even though there is not a shred of evidence. Today we find out that Mizz Lizzie even lied about the recipes she contributed to […]
Bringing new meaning to, um, stimulus funding is this tale from San Francisco, where researchers were awarded upwards of $1.5 million in federal stimulus money for “studies into the erectile dysfunction of overweight middle aged men and the accurate reporting of someone’s sexual history.” NBC Bay Area talked to the University of California at San […]
The big news in the presidential race is apparently what will and will not be discussed. Barack Obama and his minions in the mainstream media have declared that everything is on the table to tarnish the opponent, and they have already tipped their hand.

Three strikes and you’re out in baseball; here’s hoping the same standard applies to presidential politics, where Congress tossed yet another major league curveball past an Obama-crafted budget, leaving The One smarting from an 0-for-3 shutout. This from The Hill: A budget resolution based on President Obama’s 2013 budget failed to get any votes in […]
Would you happily sign an IOU for $126,000 to allow Barack Obama to keep his Big Spender status going? In some ways, that’s the bottom line on how people are going to vote on November 6th. That’s what the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates Obama’s proposed deficits, from 2011 through 2020, will add to a […]
Running with the hoops sports analogy, the latest from Public Policy Polling has former Charlotte mayor Pat McCrory up three buckets – six points, 46-40 – over Democrat Walter Dalton in the race for governor. I’ve long held that this election isn’t for Democrats to win, but rather for McCrory to lose. Thought the same […]
Here’s an excellent clip-and-save for the next time you hear any politician bemoaning the draconian cuts that have allegedly been made to state spending, while pushing for a tax hike as the only way to pay for more programs to save the children, or something. The poor-mouthing is misleading, at best, and outright deception at […]
A growing number of Americans are dangerously obese and obviously need big government intervention to help win the battle of the bulge. That’s the conclusion of new report released by the Institute of Medicine at a three-day Weight of the Nation and Centers for Disease Control conference. The IOM warns that 42 percent of Americans […]
