Lib dipshit, Soledad O-Brien can’t wrap her mind around the fact that “gun-free” zones don’t work. Gun-free zones don’t work for banks that are often robbed. They don’t work at post offices that have been shot up. They don’t work at schools. Criminals, by nature, do not care about the little “No GUNS ALLOWED ON PROPERTY” signs.

Being a licensed Concealed Carry Weapons holder, I follow these laws reluctantly. I leave my firearm in my locked truck when I go into a bank. Criminals don’t. When I pick my daughter up at school, I leave my firearm locked in my truck. Criminals do not obey gun laws. It’s really that simple but left-wing idiots (who usually commit the most gun crimes in the US) simply believe more gun laws will stop criminals.

Anyone else notice that the lib nuts didn’t scream bloody murder over Obama’s Fast & Furious gun smuggling scheme that has killed at least 2 US law enforcement officers and thousands of innocent Mexican citizens?

The scandal keeps growing.

From WFB:

CNN reports that former Central Intelligence Agency director David H. Petraeus wants to tell Congress that he knew “almost immediately” that the attack on the U.S. Mission in Benghazi was perpetrated by terrorists.

According to the source, reports attributing the attack to protests surrounding an anti-Islam video and protests in Cairo were not disproven until after Petraeus made his initial report to Congress.

Despite that, according to CNN, Petraeus had separate talking points from Rice’s and that her talking points came from somewhere else in the administration.

How do you show the presidential election is a tie? Over sample Democrats by +11 and ignore the +22 advantage among Independents.

Washington (CNN) – It’s all tied up, according to a new national poll released two days before the presidential election.

And the CNN/ORC International survey not only indicates a dead heat in the race for the White House, but also on almost every major indicator of President Barack Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney that was tested in the poll.

Forty-nine percent of likely voters questioned say they support the president, with an equal amount saying they back the former Massachusetts governor.

Look at their  survey (PDF) numbers and you will see the spin…

 

Then the magical +11 advantage of Democrats…

A total of 1,010 adults were interviewed by telephone nationwide by live interviewers calling both landline and cell phones. All
respondents were asked questions concerning basic demographics, and the entire sample was weighted to reflect national Census
figures for gender, race, age, education, region of country, telephone usage and whether respondents own or rent their homes.
Registered voters were asked questions about their likelihood of voting, past voting behavior, and interest in the campaign; based
on answers to those questions, 693 respondents were classified as likely voters. Respondents who reported that they had already
cast an absentee ballot or voted early were automatically classified as likely voters. Among those likely voters, 41% described
themselves as Democrats, 29% described themselves as Independents, and 30% described themselves as Republicans.

The media and some of the polling agency are skewing the numbers to show the election as being close. A +22 among Independents does not show a close race. If anything Obama should be terrified. How is he tied in a poll where his party is the majority being polled?

Obama-worshiping “journalist”

This is why it’s time to stop the liberal media hacks from moderating debates when they pull for Democrats. Crowley “fact-checked” Romney even though what Romney said was factually correct. Obama cheer-leaded Crowley and members of the pro-Obama townhall cheer and clapped as Crowley inaccurately fact-checked Romney.

That’s the Obama-loving media in full display.

From Mediaite:

CNN anchor and debate moderator Candy Crowley joined CNN’s panel after the debate to discuss a moment where she corrected Mitt Romney after he claimed that President Barack Obama had refused to characterize the attack in Libya an act of terror for 14 days. Crowley said that Romney’s was “right” in that the Obama administration spent weeks refusing to say that the attack was terrorism, but she thought at the time that “he picked the wrong word.”

“I heard the president speak at the time. I, sort of, reread a lot of stuff about Libya because I knew we’d probably get a Libya question so I kind of wanted to be up on it,” said Crowley. “I knew that the president had said, you know, these acts of terror won’t stand. Or, whatever the whole quote was.”

“Right after that I did turn around and say, but you’re totally correct that they spent two weeks telling us this was about a tape and that that there was this riot outside the Benghazi consulate which there wasn’t,” Crowley added.

“He was right in the main, I just think he picked the wrong word,” Crowley concluded. She went on to say that her instinct forced her to correct Romney even though his “thrust” was correct.

Obama lied his way through the debate, so of course the liberal media thinks its a win for their guy. However, Romney trounced Obama on the key issues involving the economy, taxes and budget deficits.

From CNN:

…According to the survey, Obama had a 47%-41% edge on which candidate was more likeable. But on some key issues, Romney came out on top, including an 18-point lead on the economy.

“Mitt Romney was seen as better able to handle the economy, taxes, and the budget deficit among the debate audience, but it seems that issues were trumped, or at least blunted, by intangibles, including the expectations game,” says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.

By a 49%-35% margin, debate watchers thought that Obama spent more time attacking his opponent. The president was expected to be more forceful in attacking Romney following his lackluster performance in the first presidential debate in Denver two weeks ago.

Other questions showed little daylight between the two candidates among debate watchers on some key characteristics. Romney had a 49%-46% edge on which candidate seemed to be the stronger leader and 45%-43% margin on who answered questions more directly, while Obama had a 44%-40% advantage on which man seemed to care more about the audience members who asked questions.

Debate watchers were divided on whether Romney offered a clear plan for solving the country’s problems, with more than six in ten saying the president didn’t offer a clear plan.

Think all that smiling and condenscending interruptions didn’t help hairplug Joe out.

From CNN:

Forty-eight percent of voters who watched the vice presidential debate think that Rep. Paul Ryan won the showdown, according to a CNN/ORC International nationwide poll conducted right after Thursday night’s faceoff. Forty-four percent say that Vice President Joe Biden was victorious. The Republican running mate’s four point advantage among a debate audience that was more Republican than the country as a whole is within the survey’s sampling error.

From CNBC:

 

ABC has Ryan winning 66% to 34%

And lame ass CBS claims uncommitted voters picked Joe over Ryan:

Fifty percent of uncommitted voters who tuned into Thursday night’s vice presidential debate in Danville, Ky., said they see Vice President Joe Biden as the winner over Mitt Romney’s GOP running mate Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., according to an instant poll taken by CBS News.

Of the 431 polled immediately following the debate, 31 percent deemed Ryan the winner, and 19 percent said they felt it was a tie. Party-wise it’s a switch from last week’s presidential debate, which uncommitted voters handed easily to Romney over President Obama.

Uncommitted voters? Seriously CBS? Try Likely Voters the next time.

How dare someone call Team Obama out on their lies. They know it’s sacrilegious for the media to actually ask tough questions and point out lies.

Wow! A random act of journalism from CNN. All evidence points to a cover-up. Watergate didn’t cause anyone to be killed. Obama is up 4 in this area. The lies continue to unravel each passing day.

Notice the numbers originally put out by the CBO always are incorrect and higher?

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — Congress’ official scorekeeper said Wednesday that roughly two million more Americans will pay penalties under President Obama’s health care law for lacking insurance than had previously been estimated.

Spin CNN, spin. The Supreme Court ruled ObamaCare a tax, not a penalty.

Under the law, Americans must be insured starting in 2014 or pay a penalty assessed on their tax returns.

Higher taxes enforced by the IRS.

Shortly after the legislation passed in 2010, the Congressional Budget Office, working alongside the Joint Committee on Taxation, estimated that in 2016 roughly four million people a year would opt to pay the penalty instead of getting coverage. On Wednesday, the CBO and JCT revised that figure up to six million, citing legislation passed since 2010 as well as the weaker economic outlook.

4 million to 6 million. That’s a 50% increase. The CBO has never, in it’s history, been correct with their projections. See Social Security & Medicare for prime examples.

The groups also pointed to the Supreme Court’s decision earlier this year to make the health care law’s expansion of Medicaid optional for states.

Yes, the Supreme Court ruled Obama can’t extort states who refused to stick taxpayers with higher taxes to cover the expansion of Medicaid.

Of those people who opt for the penalty, 10% are projected to be below the federal poverty level for 2016, which the CBO and JCT estimate will stand at about $12,000 for an individual or $24,600 for a family of four.

Notice the continued use of penalty instead of tax? Just your typical liberal media bias to protect Obama.

In 2014, the penalty will be no more than $285 per family, or 1% of income, whichever is greater. In 2015, the cap rises to $975, or 2% of income. And by 2016, it reaches $2,085 per family, or 2.5% of income, whichever is greater.

The dollar amounts for a single adult would be $95, $325 and $695 during that same time period.

Roughly 30 million non-elderly Americans are projected to remain uninsured in 2016, though most will not be subject to the penalty tax.

What? I thought ObamaCare was supposed to insure 40 million. Just more smoke, mirrors and lies from Team Obama.
