From the RNC
A total of $7.21 Billion. Thanks Barack. Can’t wait until they all go under… …right after they funnel millions to your reelection campaign.

It’s The Record, Stupid!
What’s different about the 2012 and 2008 primary at this point? Unlike McCain, the Mainstream Media and the Establishment GOP aren’t the only one telling us to vote for a squishy moderate. Ann Coulter, John Gibson, Brit Hume, all conservative, are saying the same thing?!?!
Don’t vote for Newt!
This is the same Ann Coulter that claimed if we don’t nominate Christie, Romney will be nominated and he will lose… …is now belittling us if we’re considering Newt. I guess we’re already laughing Ann.
There’s just one little problem for Ann, the Media, the Establishment GOP, and now Conservative Pundits:
- Conservative Voters followed the Establishment GOP candidate, McCain, and got royally screwed
- When Mitt Romney was in power, he capitulated to the left enacting ObamaRomneyCare, State Mandates, top-down Government, and he installed liberal judges
- When Newt Gingrich was Speaker of the House, he gave us the Contract With America,Welfare Reform, and a (so-called) Balanced Budget
Why are Conservatives ignoring you? It’s the Record, Stupid!
The Crux Of This Election
There is only one factor that defines this election. There is only one thing that matters.
One number: The Gross National Debt
The Gross National Debt has not decreased since 1968 — a generation.
Every Conservative American must educate themselves (in all races) and pick the Primary Candidate that has voted, will vote, or will veto, immediately, to stop the increase of The Gross National Debt within one year. Incumbent or challenger, who do you trust to reduce the Gross National Debt? How have they behaved in the past related to the debt? Who do you trust?
Anything less, and our Republic is destined to fail.
Candidate Seletor Quiz
In 2008, I had a close family member take an on-line quiz to help her base her vote on the issues. The quiz said, based on her answers, that she should vote for McCain. She voted for Obama anyway… …and has been summarily disowned (j/k).
So, I started looking for candidate selector quizzes for the 2012 Presidential Primaries. I will post them here with a bit of information about the creator as I find them:
SelectSmart
Based on the wording of the questions, I could tell that the the quiz was created by a progressive, and Curt Anderson, the creator of this quiz, is a self-proclaimed liberal. However, the results did come out as I expected
Here and here are a couple of articles on the author.
OnTheIssues
The editor-in-chief of this site and quiz is Jesse Gordon and the site tells us:
Our mission is to provide non-partisan information for voters in the Presidential election, so that votes can be based on issues rather than on personalities and popularity. We get our information daily from newspapers, speeches, press releases, and the Internet — it is a labor-intensive process that requires countless volunteer hours.
Clearly, Mr. Gordon is another progressive, but again, the quiz came out as I expected
This is just a starter for this post; I will update it as I run across more quizzes
112th U.S. Congress – Missouri Delegation Report Card
Even though Heritage can sometimes be questionably conservative, here is what they are:
Founded in 1973, The Heritage Foundation is a research and educational institution—a think tank—whose mission is to formulate and promote conservative public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense.
They recently released their unapologetic scorecard for the 112th Congress. Below is the report card for Missouri’s U.S. Congressional Representatives.
When I went to High School in Steeleville, IL, an “A” was 94-100, a “B” was 87-93, a “C” was 77-86, and a “D” was 70-76. For Missouri’s Congressional Delegation, no one got an “A” OR “B”, and Akin barely gets a “B” under the grading scale I faced at SEMO.edu.
- Senator Roy Blunt – FLUNKED
- Representative Sam Graves – FLUNKED
- Representative Blaine Luetkemeyer – FLUNKED
- Representative Jo Ann Emerson – FLUNKED… …not even 50%

Now, I’m sure they all have explanations about how they voted on all the measures for which they were rated negatively. It might be a good time to publish that reasoning for the voters to decide… …that is… if they want the votes of an informed electorate.
It’s The Tenth Commandment, Stupid!
Exodus: Chapter 20 Verse 17:
“You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
The verse, in Roman Catholic and Lutheran denominations, covers both the 9th and 10th commandment with “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house” being the 9th.
In 2008, I called it the “Envy Frenzy” — whipped up by the Consummate Campaigner to the point that poor unenlightened voters thought that The One would pay for their mortgage, their gas, their Christmas.
And that meme continues as the Campaigner-In-Chief embarks on his 2012 re-election campaign. As if some modern day Robin Hood, ~ ‘There are people with more money than you; it is not fair that they have more money than you; you should want that money; you should crave that money; you should vote for me and I will take that money from them; I will run that money through a giant government bureaucracy; a pittance of that money will come to you; my friends in the unions, wall street, big government; green energy will get most of it; you and I are the 99% that are suffering because the rich have lots of money’
So, Onward goes the Fairness Soldier with the Mighty Shield of the Mainstream Media in his left hand and the Rod of Tax Enslavement in his right. Adorned with the Crown of the Uninformeds’ Adulation, the Talons of Greediness, and a Breastplate of Chicago Corruptocrats, The One will Drain the Sea of Unfairness, Conquer the Equality of Opportunity to Enforce Equality of Outcome, Enrich the Poor in Spirit, and Destroy the Evil 1%.
All he needs is Four More Years and a little $45 Billion tax increase. That’s it. One more little tax increase and a Utopia of Fairness and Wealth will be unleashed on the American Electorate.
Hallelujah. Vote!
Vote for me. I know you covet what the rich has. Vote for me and I will take it from them.
Many have questioned whether or not Barack Hussein Obama is a Muslim. Many question his Christianity.
I don’t.
I absolutely know that if I executed a campaign that licensed greed, envy, and covetousness to win a political office, it would be an effort 100% lacking in Christianity. Clearly, the same is true of Obama.
It’s the Tenth Commandment, Stupid! A vote for Obama’s Campaign of Covetousness, is a vote of Sin.
Coulter On Cain
About that Cain affair… …it’s time to Show-Me. Show me the texts. If you have 61 texts from Herman Cain, show them to me. Otherwise, shut up! Show me the texts Ms. White, or shut up!
Show me some evidence Ms. Bialek! Your past is too scurrilous to take your word; show me some evidence.
And, Ms. Kraushaar, um, tell us something! You said he did something. He said he noticed you were short. If there’s something else, bring it out.
OTHERWISE SHUT UP!
Until then, Ann Coulter sums up the media hatchet job pretty well:
With the mainstream media giddily reporting on an alleged affair involving Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain, how long can it be before they break the news that their 2004 vice presidential candidate conceived a “love child” with his mistress, Rielle Hunter?
The left is trying to destroy Cain with a miasma of hazy accusations leveled by three troubled women. Considered individually, the accusations are utterly unbelievable. They are even less credible taken together. This is how liberals destroy a man, out of nothing.
After the first round of baseless accusations against Cain, an endless stream of pundits rolled out the cliche — as if it were the height of originality — “This isn’t he said-she said; it’s he-said, she-said, she-said, she-said, she–said.”
Au contraire: We had two “shes” and only one “said.”
More here from Coulter.
I previously wrote that my problem with Cain on this issue is what seems like a lack of preparation by Mr. Cain and his team. However, assuming Cain’s wife knew about Ms. White, and there was no affair, I can see how this latest one came out of left field.
How about we get on to important issue, you know, like the White House Black Friday document dump. If we yell enough about it, sooner or later the lamestream media will pay attention.
A Triumph Of The Free Market
In Cape Girardeau, Missouri, on April 5, 2011, the do-gooders once again knew better… …and that there needed to be a government-enforced ban on smoking in Cape’s restaurants and bars. The do-gooders (aka liberals who assail freedom at every turn) were able to get a smoking-ban initiative on the Cape ballot and the vote ensued.
Activists like Dale Humphries were ‘reflective’ after hearing that Cape Girardeau voters rejected the ban by 52% to 48%. Sadly, 48% of Cape Girardeau voters agree with the tyranny of mob mentality.
The Mayor was torn, but came down on the side of freedom:
Mayor Harry Rediger said Tuesday he had mixed feelings about the election results. He is not a smoker and understands that smoking is a health hazard, he said. But, in the end, his concerns about government interference were paramount.
“To me, this proposal overstepped its bounds,” he said. “It should, in my opinion, have been a business owner’s decision how it wants to treat its business.”
The result? Businesses were free to decide for themselves. And, a few weeks ago, a business in Cape did just that.
As a Libertarian / Conservative, I was thrilled to see the local Pasta House Company restaurant make their own decision to enforce a smoking ban. As a smoker, one knows they need to go to another business, such as Bella Italia, who currently allows smokers to enjoy a completely legal product.
This is the Free Market at work. I praise the 52% of Cape Girardeau residents and the city leaders that believe in that Freedom.
Kinder Must Go?
On 8/26/11, The Missouri Record (MR) blog published a post entitled “Kinder Must Go”.
The assertion is intially based on the claim by a Penthouse Pet, stripper, and pantless bar waitress that Peter Kinder behaved inappropriately. Like millions of American males, Kinder frequented a strip club, and now, he finds himself involved in a he-said/she-said situation.
So, based on that, Kinder Must Go.
Then, a GOP supporter and major donor tells Politico that he (the donor) is so principled and supportive of the Republican Party, that if Kinder runs for governor, he will support Jay Nixon who belongs to and supports the party that defends the murder of a million unborn humans per year.
So, based on that, Kinder Must Go.
Then, according to the MR post, Politico reports that the Missouri State GOP may pull support for Kinder. The Missouri State GOP denies the claim by Politico.
So, based on that, Kinder Must Go.
The Missouri Record reports that Kinder’s campaign sees a Left Wing Rag Magazine pumping an unsubstantiated story from a Penthouse Pet, stripper, and pantless bar waitress as a Democrat ploy to distract from the failed record of the current Democrat Governor.
So, based on that, Kinder Must Go.
Without citing any poll, we read that Kinder “was never in danger of actually defeating Governor Nixon”
So, based on that, Kinder Must Go.
Then, we must be concerned that, a few days before the election, the opposition might run ads that lie about Kinder as a Republican Gubernatorial Candidate.
So, based on that, Kinder Must Go.
Of course he must go. He must martyr himself as a politician and take the “opportunity to write his own political epilogue.” He should take all the accomplishments of his political career, put them on a tombstone, and retire into anonymity.
Uh. No.
Just like we’ve been expected to take Barack Obama at his word that he is a Christian (despite all the evidence to the contrary), we better damn well be ready to take Peter Kinder at his word. Kinder is not accused of nor has had to admit anything illegal like smoking pot or using cocaine — unlike our President.
And, Kinder is not the subject of a Missouri Auditor law suit. The Missouri (yes Republican) Auditor has filed suit against Governor Nixon for illegally reducing expenditures where he glaringly REDUCED BUDGETS FOR REPUBLICANS BUT NOT DEMOCRATS!
Kinder was twice audited by Democrat Missouri Auditors with no findings of fault, and when later accused of travel improprieties, he made immediate restitution at the mere air of such a concern.
Nixon, as soon as he was inaugurated, put the keibosh on the Matt Blunt E-Mail Scandal after using it as campaign fodder to get elected. Blunt and co-accused Ed Martin were more than ready to have the details aired out, but Nixon closed the investigation.
Although he said, “I think I have a record over 25 years that’s supported workers, that’s supported individual rights, that clearly believes strongly in the rights … of minorities,” Jay Nixon has been mute as Peter Kinder fought to stop the undermining of Missourian’s individual rights under Obamacare and hasn’t said word one about the travesty that is the TSA attack on our 4th amendment rights.
Jay Nixon has now called a special legislative session (costing taxpayers thousands) to push the Aerotropolis boondoggle that will reward donors with taxpayer money in a outrageous example of crony capitalism.
Nixon ignored the opportunity to capitalize on the exodus of businesses from Illinois after their massive Income Tax increases while Governors from Indiana and Wisconsin courted businesses and individuals to consider their states for planting new roots.
Nixon rejected legislation that would have required many voters to display government-issued photo identification when they cast ballots.
And, Nixon ‘led from behind’ by allowing the abortion restrictions to go into effect without his signature. Certainly more restrictions on abortions are necessary, but such an issue should be led by the Governor — not an “it’s in my pocket” approval.
Certainly Kinder, with the record below (highlighted by the Missouri Record), would never be able to mount a successful challenge in light of the above…
Kinder, in the partial birth abortion bill of 1997, he worked to override the governor’s veto.
Kinder was also instrumental in passing Missouri’s concealed-carry law.
Kinder’s lawsuit in opposition to the President’s health care reform has been joined by officials in dozens of states.
And most importantly, Kinder has worked successfully to bridge the urban/rural divide in Missouri politics
Pack it in Peter Kinder; you must “Go”
The Missouri Record may be right; I may be wrong. But, to call for Kinder to take a dive is, likely, putting the knock-out before the punch.
Wisconsin Recall Elections: Support Needed Now!
Your friends, the Soros funded move-on.org, are working hard to recall the Senator-Statesmen of Wisconsin who bravely stood fast in the face of massive protests and pressure to do what’s right for their State — and the nation. We just saw a massive capitulation in Congress where politicians, not statesmen, considered there careers first, and the American people, last.
Here’s the e-mail they sent this week:
Dear MoveOn member,
How good would it feel to see a big win for progressives right now—and a devastating defeat for the tea party?Democrats in Wisconsin are on the verge of just that. And with just six days left in their campaign to recall the Republican state senators who aided and abetted Gov. Walker’s vicious attacks on working families, they need our help.Polling released yesterday shows that it’s going to come down to the wire. Democrats are tied or slightly ahead in all six of the races1, but conservative groups like Citizens United and Club for Growth are targeting them with last-minute ads.2We’ve got one last ad campaign ready to go, but we need $150,000 to launch it. Can you chip in so we can win these races, show Republicans nationwide that attacking working folks has consequences, and show Democrats that fighting for working families is a winning strategy?Click here to chip in $5 on ActBlue.Too many Democrats in Washington are refusing to stand up and fight for working families. But when the radical Republican attacks started in Wisconsin this winter, progressives fought back, and Democrats had their backs.Thousands took over the state capitol, and hundreds of thousands marched on the streets of Madison. And rather than dismissing that energy, or ignoring it, the Wisconsin 14 left the state for weeks, at great personal cost, to stop Gov. Walker’s radical policies.So with just six days left in this battle, we need to show that progressives can win—not just to stop Gov. Walker, but also to send a message across America that if you fight for us, we’ll fight for you. We’re partnering with the Progressive Change Campaign Committee and Democracy for America to run one last round of ads, but we need $150,000 to launch the campaign.Click below to chip in via ActBlue to fund one last round of ads:(Link Removed)Thanks for all you do.–Daniel, Julia, Elena, Mark, and the rest of the team
The Left is using the big pockets of major donors and soliciting for donations from average Joe’s to advance their big government, big union agenda. Unions are pouring in money.
If you supported the Statesmen in Wisconsin, now is the time to put your money where your mouth is. Provide some financial support to continue to loosen the stranglehold that Public Service Unions already have on your pocketbook.
I found a group called CERS (Committee to Elect a Republican Senate) that is accepting donations. There are direct links to the candidates.
Help. Now!
