‘The Arroyo’ Looks Great

Anyway, four years into this thing, I’m still trying to have as much fun as Ace. Blogging doesn’t have to be — and should not be — a grim, remorseless all-or-nothing political battle. There are other things in the world besides politics, like girls.

Cute girls.

Cute girls with really nice boobies. And some dude named “Ryan” who deserves to be beaten to death with a ball peen hammer.

Having that girl was bad enough, Ryan. The cake? Too much.

Die, Ryan. We all hate you. For the cake.

HotAir Misses The Larger Point In The Fauquier County Tea Party Protest

Posted on | August 8, 2012 | 22 Comments

Mary Katherine Ham has her facts straight about why the protest occurred on 02 August in support of farmers from Paris, Virginia:

Farmers and their supporters rallied August 2 at a Board of Zoning Appeals meeting, where Boneta’s lawyer asked for reconsideration. She did not prevail, but the fight’s not over. Fauquier farmers believe the zoning rules are a violation of the state’s Right to Farm Act.

Her post is fine as far as it goes, and I won’t even veer into realms of butthurt over the personal resources this blog spent covering the event in question, and not even get a winky of the lovey-linky from Hot Air:

There are more blogs out there than anyone could possibly read. I wouldn’t want to distract Mary Katherine from her better effort spent taking Bill O’Reilly to the woodshed:

Bravo, MKH! That Fauquier County zoning board is as daft as Bill O’Reilly. Both think that the Holy State is always correct, and there is no individuality remaining to discuss, to say nothing of an agricultural tradition rooted in liberty and property rights. Yet there is a broader pattern well worth researching at work here. Follow the links above, and watch the videos. Our problems are not a lack of laws, but rather, a lack of character.

Steady There, Erick

Mitt Romney’s spokeswoman Andrea Saul said something phenomenally stupid on TV today, inspiring Erick Erickson to pronounce doom on the entire Romney campaign.

Needless to say, this strikes me as a bit premature. Grant that such a tactical blunder is not encouraging. Factor in the Romney campaign’s generally standoffish attitude toward much of the conservative movement, including the fact that lots of conservative bloggers are getting jerked around on their requests for Tampa convention credentials.

Still, we’re three months away from Election Day, and there are yet reasons for optimism. If Romney picks Paul Ryan as his VP, it would go a long way toward restoring confidence.

Let’s wait and see what happens going forward.

BREAKING: Lying Democrats Lie About Lying Democrat Ad Full of Lying Lies

Posted on | August 8, 2012 | 24 Comments

Really, it’s like Democrats are trying to set a world land speed record for lying or something. No sooner do I update with their latest lies than the Democrats tell another half-dozen lies. Just for the fun of it, I guess. Romney campaign press release:

OBAMA CAMPAIGN CAUGHT LYING
ABOUT DISGRACED AD

“With unemployment at a five-month high and stagnant economic growth, President Obama and his campaign are willing to say and do anything to hide the President’s disappointing record. But they’re not entitled to repeatedly mislead voters. Americans deserve better – they deserve a president who’s willing to run an honest campaign and be honest about his own record.”
– Ryan Williams, Romney Campaign Spokesman

Yesterday And Today, Top Obama Campaign Advisers Repeatedly Denied Any Knowledge About The Content In A Disgraced Ad From Obama Allies:

Obama Campaign Senior Adviser Robert Gibbs: “I Certainly Don’t Know The Specifics Of This Man’s Case.” TIME’S MARK HALPERIN: “Robert we all feel bad for that man. It’s a heartfelt testimonial. Do you feel that’s an appropriate injection in this campaign of basically making the accusation that Governor Romney basically caused that woman’s death.” ROBERT GIBBS: “Look, Mark, I think as you said, this is an ad by an entity that’s not controlled by the campaign. I certainly don’t know the specifics of this man’s case” (MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” 8/8/12)

Obama Deputy Campaign Manager Stephanie Cutter: “I Don’t Know The Facts…” CNN’S JOHN BERMAN: “He’s suggesting she died because of the action that Mitt Romney took. Mitt Romney of course had left Bain years before that Bain took over this company and then his wife died years after. What’s going on? Is that accurate? Is that fair?” CUTTER: “Well John, here are the facts. I don’t know the facts about when Mr. Soptic’s wife got sick, or the facts about his health insurance, but here’s what I do know. That Mitt Romney personally handled the deal to take over GS Steel and he personally handled some of the decisions made to load that company up with debt so much that it went underwater. It went bankrupt.” (CNN, 8/8/12)

Obama Campaign Spokesperson Jen Psaki: “We Don’t Have Any Knowledge Of The Story…” PSAKI: “We have no involvement with any ads that are done by Priorities USA, we don’t have any knowledge of the story of the family. And you know campaign finance rules in that regard are in place for a reason.” (CNN’s “The Situation Room,” 8/7/12)

Just Months Ago, The Obama Campaign Hosted A Conference Call And Ran Ads Featuring The Same Story They Claim To Know Nothing About:

“When President Obama’s Aides Said They Weren’t Familiar With Former Missouri Steelworker Joe Soptic’s Life Story, All They Had To Do Was Check Their Own Campaign Archives.” (Reid J. Epstein, “Team Obama Denies Knowing Story Of Man In Its TV Ad, Call,” Politico, 8/8/12)

In May, Cutter Hosted A Conference Call That Featured The Same Subject As The Disgraced Ad. “But Cutter hosted an Obama campaign conference call in May in which Soptic told reporters the very story featured in the Priorities spot.” (Reid J. Epstein, “Team Obama Denies Knowing Story Of Man In Its TV Ad, Call,” Politico, 8/8/12)

“The Former Kansas City Steelworker … Has Appeared In Obama Campaign Videos Before – Despite Claims By A Top Obama Adviser…” “The former Kansas City steelworker featured in a scathing ad tying Mitt Romney to his wife’s death has appeared in Obama campaign videos before – despite claims by a top Obama adviser Wednesday that he doesn’t know ‘the specifics of this man’s case’ amid charges that the ad is inaccurate and misleading.” (“Obama Campaign No Stranger To Steelworker In Disputed Ad,” Fox News, 8/8/12)

Politico Headline: “Team Obama Denies Knowing Story Of Man In Its TV Ad, Call” (Reid J. Epstein, “Team Obama Denies Knowing Story Of Man In Its TV Ad, Call,” Politico, 8/8/12)

Democrats: The Party of Lies

Posted on | August 8, 2012 | 34 Comments

The hardest thing about this post was the headline. My first idea was, “Godd–ned Worthless Motherf–king Democrat Party, Go to Hell,” but that seemed likely to offend the “family values” conservatives. So then I tried, “Will the Last Honest Person Leaving the Democrat Party, Please Turn Out the Lights?” but it was a couple words too long to fit.

What inspired this was an ad from a pro-Obama “super PAC” which blames Mitt Romney for causing a woman to die from cancer.

Never mind the heinous lies. Does it make sense at all?

I mean, I’ve heard a lot of dishonest charges made against the Republican Party over the years — racism, homophobia, raping the environment, sneaking into elementary school cafeterias and stealing lunch from poor children — but causing cancer?

Hey, that’s a new one. That’s fresh and original.

That’s not just scraping the bottom of the barrel. It’s scraping all the way through the barrel bottom, through the layer of putrid slime underneath the barrel, burrowing all the way into the cesspool below and then digging until you reach the Earth’s molten core.

Did I mention that’s it’s dishonest?

Romney stopped doing work for Bain in 1999; the steel plant in question here closed down in 2001; Soptic’s wife passed away in 2006; and yet, Romney’s somehow culpable.

I’ve never been prouder to be an ex-Democrat. How anyone could stand to be associated with such vicious dishonest scum as nowadays control the Democratic Party, I don’t know.

Either they have no sense, or else they have no shame.

UPDATE: The heinousness of their lies: Even after the steelworker got laid off, his wife still had a job with health insurance:

There appears to be no actual policy or business critique here. It’s just a string of events spread over five whole years, with certain key data omitted, and you’re supposed to infer causation without really being told why or how. This is what the Unicorn Prince has come to after promising four years ago to heal America or whatever. Perfect.

The Democrats who put the ad together knew this. They knew that the steelworker’s wife died many years after her husband got laid off — and that Mitt Romney had nothing to do with him being laid off, anyway — and they just didn’t care, because, hey, they’re Democrats. They are full-time professional liars. It’s who they are. It’s what they do.

Twitchy features this Stuart Varney interview with the wonderful Christian lady who was targeted for a self-righteous drive-thru video lecture by an obnoxious a–hole:

Nothing hurts a hater as much as Christian kindness. Well, there is that whole getting-fired-from-your-executive-job thing, but . . .
