"Jefferson, I think we're lost..."

guest post by Becca Lower

It was strange to read today, in The Hill, that some think that the Paul Ryan pick was

"The Announcement Without a Bounce: Romney’s Choice Falls Flat.” Have they talked to people in Ohio? Not only did Ryan get some encouraging greetings from Ohio seniors on Wednesday, on his way to the Miami of Ohio event, but here's the line of people waiting to get into the Engineering Quad where he was set to speak (Note: all images are by me, and are clickable to enlarge):

It took about an hour to move from the edge of the Millett Hall parking lot to the gates. That was just enough time to finish our provisions (trail mix, cut-up veggies, day-old restaurant tortilla chips) and to chat with a man who happened to be down from Cleveland moving his underclassman son into his Miami U. dorm. Oh yes, it was early move-in day, too. So you had political junkies like Robert Stacy McCain and me from points east and south (I'm from Butler County), alongside frantic and lost mothers and fathers from all over. I overheard a man speaking to the Clevelander who'd come from somewhere in Kentucky-- roughly the same five hour distance, just from the other direction.

The two stories, seeing Ryan and meeting Stacy McCain (writer of The Other McCain blog), can't be separated. I can't imagine the experience of Wednesday without either part. And really, McCain's story couldn't have served as a better counterpoint.

We got acquainted during the primaries somewhat by accident. He contacted his friend and fellow blogger Lisa Graas, the week before the Ohio contest (March 6th). He happened to be in Ohio visiting family, and hoped to mingle with some Rick Santorum supporters as we watched a debate. Although that meet-up didn't work out, we did have a good, twenty minute phone call.

Then in late May, just days after Stacy and his family were forced to go into hiding because of the actions of Brett Kimberlin and his cohorts, he showed up (in the second or third radio interview in as many days) to tell his story on Texas or Busted TV, which I'm lucky to be a part of. (Update: He appeared on May 22:

And then, early Wednesday, Stacy started tweeting and blogging about his surprise stop in Oxford, Ohio, to catch Paul Ryan. The opportunity of a meet-up, this close to home, was too good to resist. I quickly left a comment at his blog and at Facebook.
                           

Note the clever placement of this OH candidate's campaign banner.

Post-event scrum for Ryan photos and handshakes

A close-up of my autographed "MATH" poster

After the event, I called Stacy's cellphone. He picked up on the third ring. Some locals were taking him to have his first taste of Cincinnati chili, at the Skyline Chili parlor on High Street.

I met Stacy in the space between the restaurant's two doors. He was ducking out to take a phone call. But he pointed to a back corner booth, which was full of people. Two of them were members of a local TEA party, Liberty Township. It's under the same umbrella as our town's group. In fact, my mom and I attended a great, Fourth of July event that they presented this year. Also sitting in the booth was a red-headed thirteen year old named Jefferson.

You might call him the other, Other McCain. He's Stacy's son. On my last blog, I mistakenly described him as "irascible."  He is precocious, though. After Stacy returned from his phone call, we were bantering about the number of attendees at the event. The kid guessed (it was more of a statement, really) that there were 10,000 people. He may have a future in PR. It was closer to 2-3,000.

You expect someone who writes like Stacy does to do a little ranting about politics. He did that. But there was something I didn't expect somehow. He's a hugger, not a handshaker. To emphasize a point, he'll lightly rest his hand on your arm for a moment. It was a nice surprise.

After Skyline, our group walked back down High Street, toward the parking lot. I didn't get the full story on the McCain family's trip to Oxford, but there was something about getting lost. So as Stacy and I said our farewells, my mom went over a loaner Ohio road map with Jefferson. But as we pulled away, their car didn't head in the right direction at all. Less than a block away, their car had stopped. We caught up to them, then led them to the highway.

(The title refers the R.E.M. song "Little America," from their 1984 Reckoning album. Per the wiki, "The song's (and album's) last line [is], "Jefferson, I think we're lost.")

Addendum: " Paul Ryan’s Nerd Wave — Wassup!" The second picture was from this Miami of OH event... LOL, @Ali.http://viralread.com/2012/08/16/paul-ryans-nerd-wave-wassup/

Do the Math

Guest blog by Becca Lower

So as to not to overdo things, I'll have another blog on the Rep. Paul Ryan event tomorrow. Or tonight, if there's more insomnia like last night-- it's not every day that you shake the hand of the future VP.

The “math” poster, which R. Stacy McCain mentioned and pictured in his blog today, was the brain-child of David Burge (Twitter: @iowahawkblog; url: http://iowahawk.typepad.com/). I first heard of it earlier this week, when Breitbart News' Larry O'Connor saw it in his Twitter timeline during a commercial break. He nabbed a fill-in gig, all this week, for Chris Stigall on a huge, Philadelphia AM station. (You can also hear him on certain Saturdays on DC's WMAL; follow @larryoconnor for details.) A quick scan of Twitter and I found the image, too.

Yesterday, on my way to Oxford (home of Miami of Ohio), I was kicking myself that I hadn't brought anything better for Rep. Paul Ryan to sign than a clipping from that morning's Cincinnati Enquirer. Then it hit me. Since our local library is in the same system as Oxford's, I could pop into that branch with my library card and print the “math” image off my email.

After Ryan's speech, I braved the scrum for handshakes, photos and autographs. It wasn't a polite rope line like you'd see at a typical, GOP event (a Lincoln-Reagan dinner, for example). No, this was more like the stage being rushed at a rock concert. Ryan's a rock star, even in the level-headed Midwest. We think fiscal sanity is sexy.

Ryan had a black, permanent marker already, so shoving the picture at him was all I needed to do to get an autograph. It was unclear from his expression if he looked at the poster at all, but others in the throng liked it. After a couple seconds, I realized that he hadn't moved far along the way. (He's stopped for a photo.) So I reached out my hand, and he shook it. I wished him good luck. He said thank you.

The story behind meeting up with blogger extraordinaire Stacy McCain and his irascible thirteen year old, Jefferson (and others), will have to wait. But here's proof that McCain is on the right side of the Force.

The trifecta of Cincinnati culture, all in one night: conservative politics, Reds baseball (Mike Leake on the tv in the background, throwing a complete game) and Skyline chili.

 more photos tomorrow...

Update: H/T to J.d. Bryden for the info about IowaHawk.

UPDATE: Read more of this story here. And also, thanks to the very generous R. Stacy McCain for the mention.

An open letter to ALL Registered Republicans (Pre-Convention speech)

Dear all Registered Republicans,

Here we sit at 85 days from the November 6 General Election (as well as 16 days away from the start of the Republican Convention) and yet here we are still griping and complaining over something which we absolutely, positively CANNOT change. Instead of whining that our “preferred candidate” (whether it be Herman Cain or Newt or Santorum or even Ron Paul) is not the nominee we CAN get behind Mitt Romney (who IS the nominee) and do whatever it takes to get Barack Obama out of the White House in November.

For all intents and purposes, the primaries were over with back in April when Romney got out to that early lead, which meant that he was able to coast all the way through until the last Tuesday in May, when the primary in Texas put him over the top of the 1144 delegates needed for the nomination. It was also in April when he focused primarily on where the target of all of our disdain and degradation SHOULD be, that being on Barack Obama’s failed policies and no positive record. It SHOULD have been back in April when we all needed to coalesce behind Romney and focus on Obama. Instead, we have been spending the past 4 months griping about how “fixed” the primaries had been and also about how “unelectable” Romney is. That is NOT a way to take America back in November. Rather, that is a way of taking your ball and going home just because you are not willing to play by the rules and want things YOUR way!

Now I admit I am also upset that my candidate (first Herman Cain and then when he was forced out on December 3, 2011, due to some false accusations by some women who I like to term as “one-hit wonders” because they were ONLY out to harm his successful campaign, Newt Gingrich) is not the nominee. HOWEVER, I am not one to complain about it because it does nothing but derail me from my overall purpose of ensuring that Obama is defeated in November. Let us put our differences about who is the best candidate to defeat Obama in November and actually get behind the one who the PEOPLE chose OVERWHELMINGLY to go up against Obama.

We would do well to heed these wise words from great historical figures:

• A house divided against itself cannot stand – Abraham Lincoln (spoken in 1858 at the acceptance of the Republican nomination for the United States Senate, quoting the Bible)
• Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste and any city or house divided against itself shall not stand – Jesus Christ (found in the Bible in Matthew 12:25, which Abraham Lincoln quoted above)
• We must, indeed, all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately. – Benjamin Franklin (said at the signing of the Declaration of Independence)

IF we do not get behind Mitt Romney between now and the Convention, then we might as well kiss this country goodbye because we are playing RIGHT INTO Obama’s hands. He is sitting up there in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue (commonly called the PEOPLE’S White House but now is Communism Central) just rubbing his hands as America burns. And why is America burning? Because WE THE PEOPLE are fighting amongst ourselves instead of taking the fight to Obama and the Democrats WHERE IT TRULY BELONGS. We are also letting Obama dictate what should be talked about (the social issues, the tax records, all the things which my good friend Titan92 of Own The Narrative considers “shiny objects”) and not what are TRULY IMPORTANT. (the 8.3% REPORTED unemployment rate, the 15% REAL unemployment rate the 40+ months of unemployment over 8%, the millions of people leaving the workforce, the $16T of debt, the fact that the Democrats in Congress have not passed a budget in almost 1300 days)

If you TRULY want to save America, then you will get behind Mitt Romney no matter what your principles or beliefs are and get Obama OUT of office. Otherwise, as Andrew Breitbart had said back at CPAC in February of this year, “if you're not in that bunker 'cause you're not satisfied with this candidate, more than shame on you. You're on the other side.” As a matter of fact, let me play that clip.

I said it before, and I will say it again: “IF we do not vote for Mitt Romney in November, then this WILL be our future during an Obama second term”

As was mentioned by Joshua after the initial conquest of Canaan (found in the biblical book of Joshua 24:15) “[And] if it disagreeable in your sight to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves today who you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River; or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” That verse is also applicable today. If it is disagreeable in your sight to vote for Mitt Romney, choose for yourselves today who you will vote for; whether Obama who has led America into the hell it is in; or the other minor candidates who will only serve as a front for Obama this year; but as for me and Conservative Nation Radio, we will vote for Romney.

The Rundown for August 4, 2012

Join Rick Bulow and Becca Lower on the show today as they bring the news of the week from a common citizen’s point of view. This week there was a plethora of items in the news up for discussion. Chick-Fil-A was in the news on two separate occasions, first for the Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day held on August 1 and the aftermath (like the firing of a business executive after he harassed a Chick-Fil-A employee which went to YouTube and many took it viral) and then the Gay and Lesbian Kiss-In on August 3. Plus, the July Jobs Report came out yesterday and it does not look good for the Democrats or Obama’s chances come November. Also today is Barack Obama’s Birthdate so you can be sure that Rick will have a lot to say about that.

All that and more on Red, Right, and Blue today. Come join us at 1:30 PM Eastern, 12:30 PM Central on BlogTalk Radio. The chatroom at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/conservativennationradio/2012/08/04/red-right-and-blue will open 30 minutes prior to the show so people can get settles and also invite their friends to come join the show.

We are at the Two Minute Warning in America now

Let me start by playing a short two minute video which was played earlier in the year

This video by Clint Eastwood (shown during the Super Bowl in February) makes a statement that it is halftime in America. Now I will take it one step further and say that right now we are at the two minute warning in America. The Republican and Democrat Conventions (coming up the last week in August and the first week in September respectively) are what I will consider for all intents and purposes as the two minute warning, with the mid-term elections being halftime. The breakdown I have is as follows:

• First quarter – the inauguration of the Congress and then the President
• Halftime – the Mid-Term elections and the inauguration of the subsequent Congress
• Two minute warning – the Conventions
• End of game – the election until the inauguration of the Congress

At halftime we had changed the course of the Congress when we won the House of Representatives in 2010. Granted we failed to get the Senate, but at least we put the stop to the total overhaul of the country into overt Socialism. We need to keep that edge up until November and beyond. We need to reclaim the Senate and get rid of Obama.

Right now the Democrats appear to be playing a prevent defense. For those of you who do not follow football, a prevent defense is usually done to prevent the opposing team from completing a long pass in order to win the game. So in a sense they are giving the opposing team the short play and also prevent them from getting to the sidelines so they can keep the clock going. Obama, Reid, and Pelosi are throwing all of these minor issues out there (abortion, gay marriage, Mitt Romney’s tax returns, Occupy Wall Street, Romney’s gaffes, etc.) out there as a way to deflect from the main issue of jobs and the economy. They are our form of the short passes for now as a way of throwing the Democrats off target and then when November 6 comes around, they will not know what hit them when they lose because they hang their hats on all of their main issues.

As famous NFL analyst John Madden once said, "All a prevent defense does is prevent you from winning." I will go on record now and say that all the minor issues the Democrats throw out there will prevent them from winning in November. May each and every one of us keep the eyes on the target of the White House and Congress in November and take it back with the ammo of jobs and the economy.

Good speech for America

For this rant, I will let this video speak for itself. Take a listen and enjoy Congressman Mike Kelly, Republican from Pennsylvania’s 3rd district representing Erie.

The Liberal Mindset

Let me start this out by playing a segment to The Wilkow Majority where a Communist calls in trying to debate Andrew Wilkow on healthcare.

Ladies and gentlemen, the caller is typical of your run of the mill Communist Liberal who always wants government to supply for everything. The worst part is that this caller is typical of the selfish “ME” generation where instead of working for their necessities they want the necessities handed to them. This is what the Occupy Groups are fighting for, and it is insane.

I referred to the book Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand and also to the movie Atlas Shrugged Part I which had come out last year. The book is so very true. Atlas is shrugging based on all of the stress that has been placed on his shoulders, and one of these days the stress is going to be too much and he will have to throw that weight off his shoulders or collapse. That is similar to the economic issues here. Too much weight and stress is being placed on us and sooner or later we are going to throw that weight off or collapse underneath it. The liberal mindset is to keep adding the weight on by letting others shoulder the burden.

This November, we have a choice. Do we want to keep the stress that Obama and the Democrats have placed on our shoulders the past 4 years, or do we want to throw the weight off? Think about that when you go to the polls this November.

Rundown for July 21, 2012

On today’s show, there will be a roundtable discussion on Obama’s visits to Florida as well as the Colorado shooting. A comparison of Obama’s speech and Romney’s speech in regards to the shooting will also be discussed in detail.

All that and more will be on today’s episode of Red, Right, and Blue. Come join Rick Bulow and Patricia Baber today at 1:30 PM Eastern, 10:30 AM Pacific. The chatroom will be open 30 minutes before at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/conservativennationradio/2012/07/21/red-right-and-blue so be sure to tell your friends. The phone number to call in to participate on the roundtable is 718-305-7176 and you can also Skype in. As soon as the show starts the Skype insignia will display next to the phone number at the top of the screen. Click on it and you are connected to the hosts.

Some things to consider about Mitt Romney

On the Patriot Zone on Facebook, my friend Toni Walsh had posited a wonderful post about Mitt Romney we should all consider.

SOME THINGS TO CONSIDER ABOUT MITT ROMNEY

1. He simultaneously went to Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School and then passed the Michigan Bar, but never worked as an attorney.
2. As a venture-capitalist, his first major business deal involved investing in a start-up office supply company with one store in Massachusetts that sold office supplies. That company name? STAPLES. Staples now has over 2,000 stores and employs over 90,000 people.
3. Romney - or his company Bain Capital (using what became known as the "Bain Way") - went on to perform the same kind of business miracles again and again, with companies like:
Domino's,
Sealy,
Brookstone,
Weather Channel,
Burger King,
Warner Music Group,
Dollarama,
Home Depot Supply, and many others.
4. He was a volunteer campaign worker for his dad's gubernatorial campaign for a year. He was an unpaid intern in the Governor's office 8 years.
5. Keeping in mind we are not electing a national pastor, he served as a Mormon missionary in Paris 2 years. He was then an unpaid bishop and stake president for his church for 10 years.
6. He then served as president of the Olympics for 3 years - also without pay.
7. He took no salary as Massachusetts governor for 4 years.
8. In 2011 Mitt Romney gave over $4 million to charity, almost 19% of his income
(Obama gave 1%, Joe Biden gave $300 or .0013%).
9. GRAND TOTAL OF ROMNEY’S UNPAID SERVICE (to community, church and country): 28 years.
While Romney may not be the Republican you had hoped would win the Primary, at least you know the following about him ahead of time:
(1) what religion he is,
(2) he won't desecrate the flag,
(3) he will not bow before foreign powers,
(4) he will not squander our money on vacations,
(5) he never was a "Community Organizer,"
(6) he never took drugs or smoked pot,
(7) he never got drunk,
(8) he has never attended a church whose pastor called for God to damn the United States,
and, most important, (9) he has never associated with communists or terrorists.

Wise words to live by

 

On July 9, 2012, in Patriots United Against Obama Propaganda on Facebook my good friend Diane Sori was upset at the actions of a few people and went off on a massive major rant.

OK guys...today is rant day, I am furious and some of the whining and negativity has given me a freakin' splitting headache! First, if I hear one more freakin' thing about ROMNEY being a Mormon I WILL scream! What the hell is wrong with a Mormon...and I am saying that rhetorically as we have a damn muzzie in the WH right now! I have NO problems with Mormons and any ultra religious bigot that does needs to get over themselves! A muzzie or a Mormon...that should be a NO brainer!

Second, ROMNEY is NOT a flip-flopper! Everyone is entitled to change their minds, to change their opinions as they learn more about an issue. Maybe he learned something he did NOT know before...NOBODY absolutely NOBODY is perfect and NO two people will agree on everything 100% of the time, so again get over your, 'but he changed his mind...he flipped' selves! I bet everyone of you has changed your minds at some time.

Third...this is NOT God's battle! This is OUR battle, it's OUR job to save OUR country...it's NOT God's job to save us every time we make a mess of something. Ask God for guidance, ask God for strength, ask God for whatever you think might help you but then get off your knees and get out in the trenches and FIGHT! Remember Joshua at Jericho if need be but STOP sitting back and saying God will save us because he won't! We and only we will save us if we unite together and fight for OUR country.

Fourth...STOP the damn whining already that it's ROMNEY and NOT RS, HC, NG or whomever you supported...it's ROMNEY get over it! Help him do NOT work AGAINST him with all the bullsh*t about a brokered convention that Sarah will now be the nominee, or Newt, or whomever because it's MITT, period! The confirmed delegates are there, committed and MITT IS IT! Now either unite with him and help save our country or just SHUT the you-know-what up! UNITED WE STAND and WILL WIN...DIVIDED WE COULD LOOSE!

Fifth...NO crap about voting third party as a third party vote IS a vote for Obama. And NOT voting is NOT an option. This election is the most critical in our nation's history so either be part of the solution instead of adding to the problem!

And sixth, if I hear any more whining, but, but, but...or anything to that effect not only will I scream but I'll start hitting the delete button and I really don't want to do that. Wake up people...this is our last chance...our very last chance so let's get it right because 4 more years of Obama will be the end of our beloved country as we know her and you whiners, complainers, instigators, trouble-makers, bigots, and assorted other divisive driven sour grapers WILL be the cause of it!

UNITED WE WIN...DIVIDED WE LOSE...it's that simple!

Diane is right. We NEED to get behind Romney NOW or else we will LOSE this country. As Benjamin Franklin said at the signing of the Declaration of Independence, “We must, indeed, all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.” And as Andrew Breitbart said, “If you are not behind the nominee, then more than shame on you. You on the other side.”

Basically, the question you need to ask yourself come November is this: Do you stand FOR America, or are you AGAINST America? Choose you this day where you are. But as for me and my show, we stand FOR America.

The Supreme Court Week in Review

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way--in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

These words are the opening words to Charles Dickens' epic novel "A Tale of Two Cities" which was written in 1859, but they could indeed fit what had happened with the Supreme Court, nay in all of America, this past week. With the Supreme Court's bookmark rulings beginning with the ruling for Arizona in part and for Obama in part with the SB1070 ruling on Monday, and then ending with the mixed ruling on ObamaCare.

Let us begin with the ObamaCare ruling first. There are many who say that it was a bad decision by Chief Justice Roberts, but I say that he was correct in his ruling. The reason I say such is because he had handed the election over to Romney in voting the way he did. If he had voted the other way, Obama would have CLEARLY derided the decision as a ruling right down party lines and say that the Supreme Court is TOO Conservative. In this way he will not blame the Supreme Court for him being a SCOAMF. Also, what Roberts has done was made it a tax which means that it only takes 51 Senators to vote for repeal, not the 60 that it took to ram ObamaCare down our throats in 2009. And as Romney himself has said, once he is elected president, he will repeal ObamaCare.

Now on to the ruling for Arizona in SB1070. After Obama had heard the ruling he in a sense told Homeland Security to tell Arizona that they are on their own, which is typical Obama fashion. If he does not like a ruling or a vote, he basically blames everybody but himself for it. That is also typical Liberal mindset. If they do not get a job, the boss is to blame. They do bad on a test, the professor is to blame. They get into a car crash, the other driver is to blame. They never look in the mirror and say they are doing the things to get themselves in the position they are in.

Ladies and gentlemen, this Supreme Court had shown us just how important this election is in November. As I had mentioned in a tweet on Thursday, The Supreme Court left us no choice now. In order to repeal ObamaCare, we must Repeal Obama in November.

The Rundown for June 30, 2012

On today’s show, the Supreme Court’s decisions of this week will be discussed. Also the vote to put Eric Holder in both Criminal AND Civil Contempt of Congress was this week.  What was the result and why did 108 Representatives walk out of the Capitol and not vote up or down on it?

All that and more today on Red, Right, and Blue at 1:30 PM Eastern. Come join us at 1 PM Eastern in the chatroom at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/conservativennationradio/2012/06/30/red-right-and-blue.

A vote for any but Romney is a vote for Obama

Apparently it seems like after I had presented a thought out argument on March 24, 1012 and continued it on March 31, 2012 where I spoke out AGAINST voting for a third party, it seems SOME PEOPLE still speak on voting third party even AFTER I had provided LOGICAL MATH AND HISTORY AGAINST IT! So let me reiterate one more time

THIS ELECTION IS WAY TOO IMPORTANT TO VOTE THIRD PARTY!

In other words, you are either ALL IN FOR OBAMA  or you are ALL IN FOR ROMNEY! If you sit at home or vote for anyone else then it is a throwaway vote for Obama. I hear many of you say that is impossible but it is so true. We need look no further than 1992 when Ross Perot hindered the People from 4 more years of George H.W. Bush. Had Perot not have run, I feel Bush 41 would have won because most of the Perot votes were AGAINST Bush. This election the third party votes sway AGAINST Romney and are FOR Obama.

Don’t believe me? Well try this out. Take two cups and label one Republican and one Democrat. Then take a third cup and label it Other (for Write-IN, No-Vote, or Third Party) and place it next to the other two. Now put 50 pennies in that cup for those who do not vote. Place 500 pennies in the other two cups. If you take even ONE PENNY from the Republican OR the Democrat cup right off the bat for a write-in or a third party vote, that cup has 499 while the other cup has 500. Therefore, you have one cup with more pennies. Therefore, you have in a sense removed one person’s chances of winning. The only way for that person to have a chance of winning (or if the one cup wants to have more pennies) is if you take one of the 50 pennies from that third cup and put it in the cup that has 499.

To put it into a historical perspective, look at the map from 1992 for another example. Bill Clinton had 44,909,806 votes and George H.W. Bush had 39,104,550 votes. Now Ross Perot (the only viable third party candidate on the ballot as the others were crumb bums and shoe clerks) had 19,743,821 votes. With the close margin Clinton won over Bush (six million voters or so) those 20 million votes Perot siphoned away from Bush would have been enough to give Bush a second term. Also, it is interesting to note the Electoral Vote count. Clinton had 370 electoral votes to Bush’s 168. If you look, Perot and the other third party candidates had NO ELECTORAL VOTES so they did not make much of an electoral difference but they did as far as the popular votes go.

If based on those two examples you still feel that a third party or a write in vote is the way to go, then you are voting for Obama. Allow me to posit these two quotes from former Red, Right, and Blue Co-Host Harriet Baldwin:

Let me be clear: This is the MOST important election in our lifetimes. We MUST get behind the nominee-whoever it may be. A vote for ANY "third party candidate" is a vote for The Fraud aka Barack Hussein Obama. You are either with America or against America. Voting for Third Party or sitting on your sorry azz is unaccepatable.

Get involved. Get informed. COMMUNICATE. This "Third Party" talk is FINE after 2012. Not now. Imagine what this America-hating Usurper will do as a Lame Duck? Give me a break. End of America.

IF we do not vote for Mitt Romney in November, then this WILL be our future during an Obama second term

I do not know about you, but the opening lyrics to this song sum up the 2012 presidential election:

This election, there’s no room in the middle, no room on the fence. There’s no room in the middle it doesn’t make sense. You are either all in for Obama or all in for Romney, and as Andrew Breitbart had said at CPAC back in February, “If you’re not in that bunker because you’re not satisfied with that candidate (in this case Romney), more than shame on you. You’re on the other side.”

Ladies and gentlemen, we need to save America, and the only one to do it is Romney. Any other vote this election is a vote for Obama which is the same thing as a vote against America. As the last clip shows, are you with us Patriots and REAL AMERICANS or are you on the other side? Those of you who are fence-sitters, those of you who are just toeing the line until you see who will come out of the convention, have to make your choice RIGHT NOW! Romney has the delegates needed so he IS the nominee. If you are not for Romney then you are for Obama.

The Rundown for June 23, 2012

On today’s show, we will delve right into the talk of the 2012 election and talk of a third party in totality.  I had a couple of people ask me to show my work and just how I have come up with this theory, and so I will. Also, co-host Tricia Baber has done research on it as well and we will both prove to you once and for all that for this election you are either ALL-IN for Romney or you are ALL-IN for Obama.

This all goes down at 1:30 PM Eastern. If you want to call in and give your opinion on this as well, you can. The phone number is 718-305-7176.
