We keep hearing that the Anointed One is taking of over $700B out of the medicare trust fund to fund Obamacare. We are told that won't hurt Medicare at all because all the money is "savings" that the Dems are going to realize.

Question for Mitt Romney: When you worked at Bain did the company do your taxes or did you take your W-2s, 1099s and whatever other "tax" documents you received to a CPA who prepared your taxes??

Candidate Barack Obama, arguably the most inept president since Jimmy Carter - and because of his complete inarguable abject dishonesty, I will make the argument of his being the most inept - believes he deserves four more years to complete the work he set out to do - make this a socialist nation.

President Obama's statement -- "If you've got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen" -- made at a July 13 speech in Roanoke, Va., did not sit well with business owners in North Carolina and across the country.

President Obama has been relentless with his attacks on Mitt Romney, and his association with Bain Capital. The major media outlets only print the propaganda that the White House feeds them. Let's hear the other side of the story.

I have no problem offering electoral predictions. Until 2008, I had a fairly good record pegging races, and my 2010 predictions proved to be within a couple of seats of the actual congressional and legislative results.

Much has been reported, of recent, regarding President/Candidate Barack Obama's unscripted comments, while campaigning over the past weekend, revealing his limited understanding of the creation of capital, of jobs, and the very core of what drives America's capitalist economy.

American politicians, parties, and interest groups spend relatively little on their electoral campaigns. The side that spends the most money doesn't always win. And if we really want to improve our political system, we'll know we're succeeding if total spending on campaigns goes way up.

Mowing your lawn is usually a rather boring activity, but it does give you an (pretty much) uninterrupted opportunity to contemplate the great mysteries of the universe - or something.

The Civitas Institute called for the American people to redouble their efforts to overthrow the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling today that upheld most of the law, putting the U.S. health care system largely under federal control.

I am not sure any "government program" can "solve" an economy run down the tubes since Reagan started the "trickle down" assumptions which have obviously failed.

The headline at ABC News.com reads "President Obama, Bill Clinton Stump on Growth vs. Austerity Agenda." While referring to the economic debate going on in Europe, Britain's New Statesman displays the headline "The Austerity vs. Growth Argument is Hotting [sic] Up."

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has an unusual student disciplinary system. Although other schools sometimes involve students in disciplinary proceedings, UNC's "Honor Court" is entirely student-run and student-led.

More than a third of voters turned out for North Carolina's primary elections, far higher than the normal turnout in a presidential year and almost as high as the record turnout for the Hillary Clinton-Barack Obama slugfest in 2008.

It's interesting that the Anointed One finds fault with the "unelected" Supreme Court. This as he brings on board countless numbers of Czars who are neither elected nor even congressionally vetted or approved.
