Good Morning Everyone
@TwilightZone
I love the spin coming from Obama and Biden
Bet ya their internal polling showed Romney may get 5+ point bump from the debate, as quickly as they acted in the way they did, it makes me think that happened. It will only work if the MSM plays along, nd sadly some will.
But there are a few more October surprise coming about the Obama campaign too, it’s gonna be FUN!!
*Biden Tells High Earners: $1 Trillion Tax Hike Coming Your Way
Side Note: As soon as the rally was over, they kept Biden away from the press pool and told the no questions
I posted this last night as it was breaking- (DC Report: Is Donor Scandal Story Distracting Obama?) Could break today or Monday, I have no idea how small or how big it will be, the lid is tight on this one.
*John Stewart: ‘Deeply Divided Nation’ Has Agreed On Something – Obama’s Debate Performance Sucked
I have Proof that Romney already killed Big Bird
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/conan-shows-us-why-big-bird-is-no-match-for-mitt-romney/
Dr. Bellar does her obamacare rundown just as we discover that another couple millions is being spent by HHS to convince us how wonderful that piece of crap legislation is.
Good morning Coffee Steve.
Yeah, I was reading a few articles about some major Obama campaign contribution crimes that will come out today or Monday. As if that is even needed. I don’t understand the support Obama has now, has had in the past, or how he is even POTUS. Beyond me.
Romney lied his way to victory. He would not have won if he didn’t lie. The President didn’t want to get down in the mud with a liar. This is the line those honest people from Chicago have settled on to explain the President’s empty suit performance.
Coffee Steve, Oops, didn’t read your full post where you already mentioned the contribution scandal.
Don’t look for too many polls. The lib. media does not want Romney to gain momentum.
@Sicilian Pizza with Pineapple
Liars calling Romney a liar. Go figure. Guess their own guilt caused them to look to their own nature to explain away Romney’s success on Wednesday.
Good Morning TwilightZone & Mike
Usually, and I do mean Usually, when a story is brewing and a tight lid is on it, it’s a big one, but this election so many stories supposed to be big has been duds. Ala the tape a few months ago of Obama hugging and old professor.
If the emphasis of the story is correct on the donor scandal and it does involve overseas contributions the MSM will have to report it, they are federal offenses and arrest could be made.
Could be like the Al Gore temple scandal though, Gore had no idea about it, it was done by lower officials. Supposedly the WH has been working behind the scenes to delay or even try and kill the story. Time will tell I guess.
@TZ
Coffee Steve, Oops, didn’t read your full post where you already mentioned the contribution scandal.
No biggie
@Sicilian Papa
Hopefully the “Sicilian Pizza with Pineapple” didn’t bother ya. Just having fun.
Good Morning!
Heading to the board of directors meeting at the board of Realtors. should be some interesting comments this morning!
BBL
Good Morning All!
Looks like the Katherine Bigalow (Osama Raid) movie will air on the NG channel 2 days before the election.
I hope everyone prepares for another attack soon after.
On October 10th Ann Romney to co-host ‘Good Morning America’
One of my Grand Daughters told me that new school lunch program that going into effect across the nation at schools?
Shes 8 years old
“Papaw? I’m always still hungry after lunch, I don’t like eating plants to much” ROTFLMBO
Good Morning Sunshine and Rats
hey Sunshine, I wonder if after the movie comes out they will arrest Katherine Bigalow?

TwilightZone
Yeah, my grandparents were Sicilian. I’m just riding on their coattails.
@Coffee Steve
You seem like a seasoned man. Did you ever think there’d be a time that a man could be POTUS who was under the tutelage of a member of the Communist Party of the USA for several years, for 20 years attended a church of a man who says “not God bless America, but God damn America”, and is closely affiliated with known domestic terrorists from the 70s who have in modern times said they would do it all over again. It’s beyond me.
@Sicilian Papa
“my grandparents were Sicilian”
Neat. Have you been to Sicily? I’ve only been to mainland Italy once for a week while in the military.
Well too many Democrats and liberals were saying “it’s in the bag” President Obama’s debate has fired up the base and others to understand that “it’s not in the bag” so glad to hear folks on the left awake and concerned again about the reelection. A fired up base is bad news to conservatives. Also Romney is now on the record lying about his own proposals.
The next two debates will be critical. Savor the current flavor of victory GOP! While you can

No, would love to go to Sicily. Got to run, have a great day all.
