Did Mary Not Get the Memo?

by Kim D.

Politico is touting that Barack Obama is still out and about trying to work his magic in urging the African-American community to come out and support/vote for his candidates. Last night, the president's effort was for Wisconsin Governor hopeful Mary Burke (D).  He claimed (with a straight face),

“The country as a whole is doing better. Wisconsin is not doing so good,” Obama said, referring to slower-than-average job growth. “Over the next week you have the chance to change that. You have the chance to choose a governor who doesn’t put political ideology first, who is not making partisanship first. She puts you first.”

However, his rhetoric fell on some deaf ears - those who chose to walk out during his speech.  Didn't Mary get the memo to disown the president and his policies? Evidently not.

Cosmo Creates Crappy Rap Video to Stimulate Fem Dems to Vote

by Kim D.

Last month, Cosmopolitan cut a poorly made rap video to inspire voting in the mid-term elections. Either the budget was low or all Cosmo thought was needed were two male strippers to effectively send the message to vote . . . but for whom?

• October 28th - Democrat Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (NH) endorsed.
• October 21st - Democrat US Senate hopeful, Michelle Nunn (GA) endorsed.
• October 14th - Democrat US Senate hopeful, Bruce Braley (IA) endorsed.
• October 7th - Democrat Governor hopeful, Wendy Davis (TX) endorsed.
• October 2nd - Democrat US Senate hopeful, Amanda Curtis (MT) endorsed.
• September 30th - Democrat House hopeful, John Foust (VA) endorsed.

Other big-name endorsements include Mark Udall, Kay Hagan, Alison Lundergan Grimes, and Jeanne Shaheen.  In other words, the only candidates Cosmo finds suitable to pimp to Millennial females are Democrats. And, as this video obviously show, Cosmo thinks these voters only care about their lady parts and what stimulates them.

The Argument for Voting Straight-Ticket Republican

by Kim D.

Oftentimes I grow weary of party politics. I am not a Liberal, Progressive, Republican, Independent, or Libertarian.  I am a Conservative. I guess that would pigeonhole me as one of those nasty Tea Partiers. However, I see the Tea Party movement as a catalyst that was meant to wake up America to the ominous shift toward Progressive Totalitarianism. For me, the initial Tea Party movement died alongside Andrew Breitbart.

Since Breitbart sparked that flame, many new voices have forged the path to change the Republican party into one which stands for fiscal responsibility and common sense approaches to the greatest challenges of our time. However, the shift to a liberal, progressive culture did not happen overnight, and I know that it will take several election cycles to tug the American landscape from far left, back to center, and then to the right, where the mindset of true conservative values and beliefs resides.

But this one - the 2014 midterm election - is critical to stopping the Obama agenda. Even though I live in Texas, a red state, voting early was a priority for me. I never know what potential obstacles I could face November 4th preventing me from reaching a designated poll place. In fact, I just got an email reminder that my son has a dentist appointment that day. Voting early also allows me to ask others to follow my example and partake in this constitutional right.

But, why did I vote straight-ticket Republican, something I have not traditionally done in the past. Why did I hold my nose while casting a vote for John Cornyn, Dan Patrick, and George P. Bush?  The answer is quite simple. The primary election is the time to make changes within a party. Those more conservative candidates who lost to rhinos in the primary elections hopefully are now a more recognizable voice in their community and will continue to change hearts and minds to recognize how damaging the current climate of our political DNA truly is.

This is one election in which conservatives cannot choose to stay home and refuse to vote. Anyone who is considering sitting this one out should consider one thing: Harry Reid is in charge of the Senate. 

With the passion of 1000 blazing suns, I hate what Harry Reid has done to this country and know that the first step in reversing the damage begins with kicking him out of the leadership seat. The Democrats know this one political change would be devastating to the progressive agenda and have countered by pumping millions of dollars into campaigns in which they believe they have a chance to stave off the Republicans from capturing control of the Senate.

In the next two weeks, the lies will be thick and rampant. The race card will be played and the war on women alarm bells will be loudly sounded. The Democrat party will do anything to succeed. So, the question remains, what will Conservatives do?

The Fear Vote - #VestOrVote

According to The Daily Caller, in the final weeks leading to the November 4th mid-terms, getting out the vote in the black community will be critical in repeating the success that Barack Obama experienced in 2012. Knowing that the black community traditionally votes for Democrats, what better way to strike fear and desperation for the coming election than to insinuate that if Republicans win, black children will be less safe.

A community organization group with ties to labor unions and to George Soros is out with a dramatic get-out-the-vote ad featuring an African-American mother forcing her son to wear a bullet-proof vest in order to protect himself from being shot by police and “vigilantes.”

As part of its “Vest or Vote” campaign, which is meant to leave the impression that abstaining from voting increases the need for a bullet-proof vest, Dream Defenders is also selling what it calls a Dream Vest. The retail price for the protective garment is $149.99.

Rather than using the vest to protect against all gun violence, the Dream Defenders ad focuses only on threats posed by law enforcement officials or armed private citizens.

“Every 28 hours an African-American is killed by a police officer, security guard or vigilante,” text from the ad reads. “No parent in America should have to put their child in a bulletproof vest,” it continues.

“On Nov. 4, you have a choice; Vest or Vote.”
