Is The Post-Debate Benghazi Discussion Playing Into Obama’s Hands?
UPDATE: Krauthammer Snookered?

by Smitty Given a non-optimal event, or, as real people would call it, tragic failure, controlling the spin is crucial. Benghazi certainly qualifies. And the spin after the second Presidential debate is doing a fine job of keeping the discussion manageable for the Administration, if not where they want it. Neo-Neocon gives a detailed overview […]

Those Wanting Obama Impeached Should Understand. . .

by Smitty I knew as I watched the debate that the Benghazi question was the climax. This ad compiles the details of the Presidential prevarication nicely: What Romney did there was prosecute the Benghazi case for Stevens, Smith, Doherty and Woods. And he did it in the court of public opinion. And he was halted […]

#ObamaGoogleHistory What Is My Current Abuse Level At http://theothermccain.com

by Smitty This hash tag game had its origins in this: Slightly strange, this game. I’ve had a lot of love for this tweet: #ObamaGoogleHistory If I lose 50 states are there enough electrical collage votes in the other 7 to win? — Chris Smith (@smitty_one_each) October 18, 2012 Yet not so much for this […]

GALLUP: ROMNEY 52, OBAMA 45 — Let the Great 2012 Liberal Freak-Out Begin!

They convinced themselves that Obama “won” Tuesday’s debate, but Romney actually gains in the first Gallup national tracking poll with post-debate reaction? Oh, boy. UPDATE: Ace explains what happened:  The debate was not a victory for Obama. It was a confirmation of Romney’s acceptability, plausibility, and fitness for office. Yesterday, Sully admitted he had been “on […]

“The front page of Thursday’s Washington Times features a story about how the Obama administration’s ‘war on coal’ has thwarted plans by the tiny Appalachian town of Grundy to expand its airport. The hostile regulatory climate imposed by the president’s environmental agenda has been a steady theme of Romney’s stump speeches. The coal issue also […]

Military Endorsements Aren’t Decisive. That Said: WOW!

Richard Danzig, former Secretary of the Navy Not a proper veteran, but we can’t get to ‘half a dozen’ without some sort of […]

Romney Debates Crowley And Obama On Benghazi, Wins

by Smitty Benghazi was the pivotal moment in the town hall debate, in my opinion, and that of some others: “act of terror” is to Obama what “is” was to Clinton — Legal Insurrection (@LegInsurrection) October 17, 2012   Via BlueGrass pundit: What a sad, pathetic joke that Obama has to have a woman attempt […]
