By making trade work for America, balancing our budget, and championing small business, we'll create 12 million new jobs. How many times have we heard this? Platitudes and or hyperbole might be nice, but what we need in America is serious change with a laser focus on fiscal responsibility and individual liberty and responsibility. Mittens campaign is finding itself with real issues . Issues that are causing him to lose ground to Obama. His problems are exactly the sort that most of us in the realistic fold of the conservative/libertarian political mindset anticipated. The top five conservative suggestion for Mitt. Via Politico .

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny More Obama administration naivete? Or is Rice's narrative by design and crafted to fit Obama's broader agenda? THE HILL The Obama administration is sticking to its position that Tuesday's deadly attack in Benghazi wasn't premeditated, contradicting U.S. lawmakers and Libya's own president. Speaking on several Sunday shows, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice placed the blame for violence that has spread to two dozen countries across the Muslim world squarely on a U.S.-made anti-Islam video. Republicans and many others are dubious, with some lawmakers suggesting the attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi was a coordinated attack by a militant group. Skip Libya's own leader, interim president Mohammed Magarief, has said that foreigners infiltrated Libya over the past few months and planned the attack that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. “T...

The political views of the  younger voting block (ages 19 to 29) are socially liberal and fiscally conservative. A group that is comfortable with and supportive of candidates such as Rep. Ron Paul and Libertarian Presidential Candidate Gary Johnson . As a supporter of both the Ron Paul Revolution and Gary ...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny I had to listen to the video twice, just to be sure I heard what I thought I heard. MSNBC Video: Talk about arrogance, hmm Bubblehead Matthews might be onto something. I'm sure he must have been looking into a mirror as he spoke. As for not wanting to get “into his head on this.” , well again, I think Bubblehead is the real "head case" and needs to work on that. All that aside what Bubblehead is really saying is "how dare Romney have the audacity to run again "The One" . I really don't want to get into Bubblehead's head but I suspect his comment would have been made no matter who the rEpublican nominee was. The man carries a boat full of water for democrats in general, and Obama specifically. MEDIAITE - MSNBC host Chris Matthews said on his program that he thought Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney was displaying a suspicious level of arrogance by thinking that he...
