    I remember back 30 yrears ago when Cindy and I were young strugging adults. We worked hard for what little we had. Cell phones had not been invented yet but mobile radio phones had. If I had petitioned the government to buy me one of those radio phones, I would have been laughed at. If we had just asked for assistance with a regular phone bill, the result would have been the same.

    In today's society that strongly believes in entitlements, work is a four letter word. Working for what you have is silly. What has happened to us.

    After Raising Close To $1 Billion, Axelrod Accuses Romney Of “Trying To Buy This Election”…
    [​IMG]
    From the campaign that raised $181 million last month, $947 million total.


    Drew –

    We’re about to get hit with an avalanche of negative ads.

    Romney-allied outside groups have already lined up more than $23 million in television spending for this week alone.

    That’s been the other side’s strategy from the beginning: slamming the airwaves with ads trashing the President and his record.

    Drew, I’ll be blunt: They are trying to buy this election, and we’re the only ones who are standing in their way. Don’t wait any longer to take ownership of this campaign.

    Can you chip in $5 or more right now to help?

    We’ve worked too hard to slow down now. We need to bear down these last 29 days, because Governor Romney and his allies aren’t going to play fair or take it easy on us. Take it from their own adviser: “We’re not going to let our campaign be dictated by fact-checkers.”

    We need to keep fighting and get the back of the guy who’s got ours — will you chip in today?

    Thanks. Let’s keep this up.

    For a change, it looks like the Obama campaign is taking heat for its ads:

    Sesame Street Wants Big Bird Ad Taken Down

    Toward the end of the article, it mentions that Andrea Mitchell objected to being used in an Obama ad.

    Shocking that Andrea Mitchell would object to being in an Obama ad.

    I saw where Big Bird has assests approaching 300M. Not bad for a taxpayer subsidized bird.

    Tsk...tsk...
    For the record, Obama couldn't even get this simple attack right. America's military has more bayonets now than it had in WWI and the U.S. Army still uses horses in Afghanistan.

    Gallup: Obama’s Approval Rating Tanks 7 Points In Only 3 Days…
    [​IMG]
    Via CNS News:


    In the most precipitous decline it has seen in more than a year, President Barack Obama’s job approval rating has dropped 7 points in three days, according to Gallup.

    In the three-day period ending on Oct. 23, says Gallup, 53 percent said they approved of the job Obama was doing and 42 percent said they did not.

    On Oct. 24, that dropped to 51 percent who said they approved and 44 percent who said they do not.

    On Oct. 25, it dropped again to 48 percent who said they approved and 47 percent who said they do not.

    On Oct. 26, it dropped yet again to 46 percent who said they approved and 49 percent who said they did not.

    Mud on his hands

    Obama had one strategy this campaign: character assassination. But thanks to a voter backlash, Romney’s optimism may well win the day

    Watch the campaign news segment with the sound turned down. You can see what’s happening in their faces: Mitt Romney is earnest, optimistic and forward-looking. Barack Obama is sour with sarcasm, peevish, defensive and even downright angry. Nineteen-sixty John Kennedy has turned into 1974 Richard Nixon.

    Whatever could be bothering this former apostle of light?

    By downgrading its adulation, the country has let President Obama down, and the president, whose bizarre dislike for people was compared by one of his own aides to Bill Gates somehow achieving supremacy in the world of software without liking computers, can barely conceal his fury.

    His base loves this supposedly “engaged and commanding” Obama because they’re equally inflamed about prospects that the statist train of Progress is derailing once again. But it’s hard to picture independent voters failing to notice the bitterness. “He seems to smolder with resentment,” wrote George Will, “that he must actually ask for a second term.”
