MAGGIE MAHAR JOINS THE FEAR MONGERS

Last week, I wrote an article for AmSpec in which I outlined how the ostensible candidate of “change” has reverted to the hoary Democrat practice of frightening elderly voters into casting their ballots for the Democrat presidential ticket.
Among the most disingenuous of Obama’s scare tactics is the accusation that John McCain plans to cut Medicare benefits. This particular charge is so dishonest that even […]

BARACK OBAMA: I SEE DEAD VOTERS

In heavily Democratic Volusia County, Florida, lots of dead voters are casting ballots this year:
Thousands of dead Floridians are registered to vote and some in Central Florida had ballots cast in their names long after their deaths.
The national “news” media have studiously ignored the nationwide voter fraud initiated by the Democrats this year, but some local news outlets […]

OBAMA’S MISINFOMERCIAL: HEALTH CARE BS

Predictably, Barack Obama’s  pregame show was not only cheesy and trite, it contained a number of hopelessly implausible claims about his health care plan:
My health care plan includes improving information technology, requires coverage for preventive care and pre-existing conditions and lowers health care costs for the typical family by $2,500 a year.
I think not.
His plan does not […]

MYTH: ALL YOUNG VOTERS WANT “UNIVERSAL” HEALTH CARE

It should be no shocker that U.S. registered voters aged 18-28 have a definite lack of faith in what the government can do to actually manage or improve health care.   In fact, they rank health care fifth in their considered voting priorities in the coming election— after the economy, energy and gas prices, jobs and unemployment, and […]

OBAMA’S LATEST HEALTH CARE LIE

Not satisfied with his egregious misrepresentation of John McCain’s Medicare proposal, Barack Obama has deployed another whopper about how McCain’s health care tax credit would compare to employer-based insurance:
This morning, we were offered a stunning bit of straight talk – an October surprise – from [McCain’s] top economic advisor, who actually said that the health […]

AN OHIO DEMOCRAT COUNTING VOTES IN VIRGINIA?

The other day I did a post on the attempt to toss out military ballots in Virginia. Attorney General Bob McDonnell put a halt to that skulduggery, but no one has explained why a Democrat hack from Ohio is counting votes in Virginia.
The primary figure in the vote-tossing scam is one Rokey Suleman, Fairfax County General Registrar. This character, […]

OBAMACARE, STATISM & ABUSE OF POWER

George Will’s latest column is about a last ditch effort in Arizona to stop our long slide toward government-run health care:
On Election Day, Arizonans can give the nation the gift of a good example. They can enact a measure that could shape the health care debate that will arrest or accelerate the nation’s slide into statism. […]

OBAMA’S WEATHERVANE HEALTH ADVISORS

Today’s WSJ exposes the cynicism of Barack Obama’s main health care advisors, Jason Furman and David Cutler, who executed neat pirouettes on health policy after signing on with “the One.”
Before becoming an Obamaton, Furman was a vocal advocate for very type of reforms that John McCain proposes to make in the employer-based insurance system:
When President Bush unveiled a health reform […]

DEMS TOSS MILITARY BALLOTS IN VIRGINIA

Remember back in 2000, when Al Gore attempted to steal Florida by tossing out legitmate military absentee ballots? Well, a group of Obamatons in Virginia are at it again. Per the Virginian Pilot:

State officials confirmed Thursday that they’ve instructed local registrars to set aside any vote submitted on a federally furnished write-in ballot unless the ballot includes both […]

COUNTING FIRST TIME AND YOUNG VOTERS BEFORE THEY HATCH?

One reason some pollsters show Obama with implausibly wide leads over McCain is that they have adjusted their normal demographic assumptions in anticipation of a surge in participation by first time and young voters. There’s only one problem with this, as Gallup reports:
Gallup finds 13% of registered voters saying they will vote for president for the first time in 2008. That […]
