Liberty -vs- Tyranny

Oops, Guess They're Catching On To Me

There are those who see little real difference between the statist proclivities of Obama and the like proclivities of Romney. For liberty advocates the real disappoint of course is that Gary Johnson, his record, and his vision were pretty much kept under wraps because of the powerful duopolistic system and Gary not being able to compete with the rEpublican and dEmocrat money machines. But as they say it is what it is so we deal with what we end up with. I'll be voting principle and conscience but a small part of me I suppose is smiling because the "lesser of two evils" has moved ahead.

THE HILL - Mitt Romney has overtaken President Obama in a Public Policy Polling survey released on Tuesday.

Romney won 49 percent support from likely voters in the poll, compared to 47 percent for Obama.

It’s the first time all year Romney has led in the poll, which was conducted on behalf of the liberal Daily Kos website and the Service Employees International Union. Obama led 49-45 percent in the group’s previous poll, conducted before last week’s debate.

Romney was boosted in the poll by gains among female voters. Obama still leads 51 to 45 over Romney among women, but he had a 15-percentage-point lead in the previous poll.

It’s the second poll in a row to show Romney swinging to a lead following his historic trouncing of Obama at last week’s debate.

A poll released Monday by the Pew Research Center showed Romney with a 4-point lead nationally. In the Pew poll, Romney enjoyed an 18-point swing among female voters.

Romney also stretched his lead among independents in the PPP poll to 48 percent to 42. In the previous poll he led 44-41 among independent voters.

The first debate between Obama and Romney has significantly shifted momentum in the race. {Read More}

Anyone betting on a threepeat?

    I doubt Obama will be turning in that kind of performance again. But again, it was just a performance failure. On the substance, Romney just lied through his teeth every chance he could for and hour and a half. And as well, to your point about Romney's and Obama's shared proclivities, though I see starker contrasts, myself, I find it hilarious to see just how far he moved to the middle in that debate while "conservative" voters lauded his superficial performance.

    What a joke.

      JMJ, I watched it. It was Obama who was lying, and it was a hard job, as the overwhelming failures of his administration and agenda are so numerous.

      And Biden was lying on TV last night claiming Romney would hike taxes.

    It's still anybody's ballgame and I wouldn't bet on anything but dirt and filth and garbage being spilled on Romney from the left.

    The Chicago gang will not go gentle into that good night.

      True Silver. However, given his tendency to flip flop, it's why I call him the Human Flipper, he opened himself up for a great deal of the lefts "garbage." Unfortunately we cannot be sure which Romney will be the governing Romney should he win.

      My educated guess based on MA. is he would move to center and stay there. The military posture concerns me quite a bit though as it is an area he might remain too hawkish.

      We'll see. Obama is too far left.

    The military stance troubles me too. I think the flip flop charge is overrated, it was on Kerry too. What politician doesn't? Politics is powered by BS and hypocrisy.

( Reuters ) - Global leaders on Saturday arranged a round of emergency calls to discuss the twin debt crises in Europe and the United States that are causing turmoil in financial markets . After a week that saw $2.5 trillion wiped off global stock markets, they are under pressure to show political leadership and reassure markets that Western governments have both the will and ability to reduce their huge and growing public debt loads. French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who chairs the G7/G20 group of leading economies, conferred with Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron ahead of a call planned for this weekend by G7 finance ministers and central bankers. "They discussed the euro area and the U.S. debt downgrade. Both agreed the importance of working together, monitoring the situation closely ...

Thoughts On the Civil War and What Precipitated It...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth Over at Contra O'Reilly Will Hart has been running a interesting series on the Civil War and what the primary causes were. Historians continue to disagree with the root, or primary causes. However it is generally accepted among knowledgeable and unbiased experts that slavery had very little to do with the onset of the War Between the States. Causes were primarily economic and constitutional. Will, in his posts has done a good job of pointing this out with supporting documentation. This site offers the following, a July 2013 article by David Hirsch in support of Will Hart's arguments. Arguments this site wholly concurs with. Arthur Hirsch's recent article about the Battle of Gettysburg reveals a disturbing ignorance of the political dynamics that brought this nation to a war that 150 years later remains the most cataclysmic event in our history ("A defining day relived," July 2). It accepts the sh...
