One has to snicker at all of the feminists who believe that with government’s help, they are strong. Hear them roar? Me neither. We hear the Mainstream Media talk about the Gender Gap problem facing Mitt Romney because more women tend to favor Barack Obama. And while that was true in 2008, this year it [...]

And all Progressives are idiots, it is a requirement. This is also proof positive that math skills in our schools need to be improved. After [...]

How quickly things change. Just over a week ago, we wrote: As of today, August 22, 2010 Republicans could pick up a maximum of 12 seats in the US Senate giving them a total of 53 seats. And not one seat more. Well, we also said: With two and a half months remaining before election [...]

I do not encourage the raising of funds for candidates lest I be accused of being a official fundraiser.  But the Rand Paul Money Bomb is today and tomorrow (August 20 is Ron Paul’s birthday) and they seek to raise $400,000 which is the amount Rand’s opponent just put into his own campaign.  They are [...]

With businesses afraid to hire due to the unpredictable nature of his administration, Barack Obama’s poll numbers have hit their lowest point to date across all of the major polls.

Arkansas Democratic Senator Blanche Lincoln is looking pretty much like a done deal down in Arkansas.

Rasmussen reports yet another low water mark for President Obama shatters his previous record low (from yesterday).

The president’s approval index is -21. That number is the difference in the number of respondents saying they Strongly Approve of the president’s job, and those who Strongly Disapprove of Obama’s performance. And for the first time, Obama’s Strongly Disapprove rating has reached 46%. Add to that the 10% that simply disapprove and the Rasmussen poll shows a total disapproval of 56% – another record for Obama.

Only 25% strongly approve of Obama’s performance, 2% better than his all time low of 23% set last week. Those that simply approve of Obama’s job totaled 19% for a total approval of just 44% which matches his previous low mark also set last week.

So Obama has reached a new low in overall approval of -12% (44% approve and 56% disapprove).

These numbers are, perhaps, the strongest indication of the impact of the Health Care bills on the next elections. While the bills have not even passed and made their way through the Conference Committee, the voters are showing their displeasure at these bills
