Oh, well, it could have been worse: Tony Robbins event ends in disaster as 21 people are treated for burns after walking on 2,000-degree hot coals. At the Obama event, there were just snores, instead of “wails of pain and screams of agony.” Yet somehow there seems to be a parallel.

SALENA ZITO: Mitt Romney’s Moment.http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2012/07/22/mitt_romneys_moment_114871.html?fb_ref=.UAv6CN3C2ew.like&fb_source=home_multiline

“The president actually said, if you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that, somebody else made that happen.” He paused and threw his hands up before adding: “Really?”

Sitting in a small office attached to a local shale industry company for an interview with the Trib, Romney remained agitated and energized.

The agitation was personal because he is genuinely appalled by President Obama’s attitude toward business.

“I could not believe he said that. And it wasn’t just a twist of phrase, he actually goes on to explain what he meant by that,” Romney said, suddenly stretching forward as if finding it difficult to contain his feelings.

The energy came from what arguably was the presumptive Republican nominee’s best rally so far. More than 1,400 people packed a 4,000-square-foot warehouse – but it wasn’t the numbers, it was the event’s organic nature.

This was not a stacked rally, to which the usual GOP suspects bring a friend, or a ticketed event, for which you go to a local elected official to pick up a pass reserved for people who clap on cue.

This was the real deal – and the crowd, with nearly as many Democrats as Republicans, let Romney know they loved him and his message.

Yep- "Duh!1"-- AKA Kommander Zero, Duh! Light Worker, the first Un-precedented affirmative action golfer reveals his true feelings about the America he hates...

INVESTOR’S BUSINESS DAILY: ABC News’ Tea Party Apology Isn’t Good Enough.http://news.investors.com/article/619006/201207201838/media-tries-to-link-colorado-shooting-to-tea-party-.htm

WASHINGTON EXAMINER: Liberal pundits always rush to blame the Tea Party.http://washingtonexaminer.com/examiner-editorial-liberal-pundits-always-rush-to-blame-the-tea-party/article/2502819

Whenever a new cause or movement is born, and a large number of people feel passionate about it, there’s always the danger that it will inspire someone — perhaps just a lone nut, or perhaps a group of them — to destroy human life in its name. This is true even of the most legitimate, mainstream movements, which can suffer unjustly by the actions of a rogue sympathizer.

Someday this may happen to the Tea Party movement. So far it hasn’t, because there has been no Tea Party violence. The only victims of Tea Party “extremism” are politicians who lost their positions in peaceful elections. One could be forgiven for not knowing this, given the extreme bias with which some in the liberal media treat the Tea Party.

Moments after the suspect’s name became known in Friday’s theater massacre in Colorado, Brian Ross of ABC News reported to a national audience that someone by the same name had signed on to a Tea Party website in 2011. James Holmes — the name of the alleged shooter — is a very common name, shared by at least 2,900 Americans, according to the website HowManyofMe.com. And as it turns out, James Holmes of the Tea Party is a Hispanic man, not related to the suspect and more than twice his age.

Ross had to issue an apology, but it’s easy to see why he found the story irresistible. Here was a possible connection that bore out all of his worst prejudices — groundless prejudices that many others share.

In February 2010, a man named Joseph Stack committed suicide by flying his small airplane into an IRS building in Austin, Texas. New York Magazine, after reading his online suicide note, immediately declared that “a lot of his rhetoric could have been taken directly from a handwritten sign at a tea party rally.” The Washington Post’s Jonathan Capehart added that “his alienation is similar to that we’re hearing from the extreme elements of the Tea Party movement.” Neither mentioned that Stack had approvingly quoted “The Communist Manifesto” and denounced capitalism in his last message to the world. That may be a relevant detail if you’re trying to blame his crime on a movement that believes the opposite.

Months later, right after the famous attempt to bomb Times Square, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg suggested it had been carried out by someone “with a political agenda who doesn’t like the health care bill or something.” The would-be bomber, a Pakistani immigrant, later said in court: “If I’m given a thousand lives, I will sacrifice them all for the life of Allah.”

The following January, a shooter in Tucson wounded Rep. Gabby Giffords, D-Ariz., and killed six others. In all his wisdom, Paul Krugman leaped to judgment immediately: “We don’t have proof yet that this was political, but the odds are that it was.” He insinuated on his New York Times blog that Tea Party activists were back to finish the job after Giffords survived the 2010 election sweep. In fact, the killer was a deranged loner with no coherent political ideology, and no connection to the Tea Party.

All that has happened since the Tea Party began — and all that hasn’t happened — undermines the credibility of Krugman, Ross, Capehart, and other pundits who carelessly associate it with violence.

Yes.

ENEMIES LISTS: From Nixon to Obama. “For those of use who lived through Watergate, it must be at least slightly surprising how little attention Strassel’s columns have drawn. . . . The mainstream media are of course missing in action. An election is looming and if it weren’t for double standards they wouldn’t have any at all.”http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2012/07/the-enemies-list-now-and-then.php?ModPagespeed=off

Yeah, if you wonder how Watergate would have played out under a Democratic President, well, wonder no more.

WANT MORE VIOLENT CRIME AGAINST CITIZENS? Then ban guns like Australia did. “So, if the USA follows Australia’s lead in banning guns, it should expect a 42 percent increase in violent crime, a higher percentage of murders committed with a gun, and three times more rape.”http://voxday.blogspot.com/2012/07/mailvox-aussie-logic.html

And if it wasn't the tea party, it was some other rightwing nutjob! /MFM

Gabe posted the following on Twitter this morning, and, to be honest, I'd forgotten about half of them.

FLASHBACK: when Dr. Amy Bishop shot her colleagues, the Left speculated that she was a Tea Partier. In fact, she was an Obama donor.

FLASHBACK: Discovery Channel hostage-taker was supposedly a climate change denier. In fact, he was an enviroweenie, D.Channel intern.

FLASHBACK: the census-taker was supposedly hanged by extremist anti-tax Tea Partiers. In fact, he hanged himself.

FLASHBACK: the Times Square Bomber was speculated to be upset about [Health Care Reform]. In fact, he was jihadi scum.

FLASHBACK: the guy who flew his plane into the IRS in TX was supposedly a Tea Partier. In fact, he quoted from the Communist Manifesto.

FLASHBACK: the guy who was stabbing NYC cabbies was supposedly an anti-Ground Zero Mosque Tea Partier. In fact, he supported the GZM.

FLASHBACK: the Pentagon shooter was supposedly a Tea Party extremist. In fact, he was a 9/11 Truther.

FLASHBACK: when the Ft. Hood shooting happened, the Left speculated that it was a “RWNJ.” In fact, it was a Muslim nutjob.

FLASHBACK: When the Tucson shooting occurred, it was immediately blamed on Tea Party rhetoric. In fact, Loughner was a-political & insane.

Is it just me, or is it odd that the media's go-to suspect in these things is always, always on the conservative side of the political spectrum. It's almost like they have an agenda or something.

Poll: Voters Say Bush Obama Is To Blame For Economy

If this poll is right, it's Panic Time At The Obama Disco.http://thehill.com/polls/239377-the-hill-poll-majority-of-voters-blame-president-for-bad-economy

Two-thirds of likely voters say the weak economy is Washington’s fault, and more blame President Obama than anybody else, according to a new poll for The Hill.

It found that 66 percent believe paltry job growth and slow economic recovery is the result of bad policy. Thirty-four percent say Obama is the most to blame, followed by 23 percent who say Congress is the culprit. Twenty percent point the finger at Wall Street, and 18 percent cite former President George W. Bush.

...

Obama’s campaign, under the slogan “Forward,” has sought to steer voter attention less toward current and past economic performance and more toward questions about Republican Mitt Romney’s work in the private sector economy. It has launched attacks on the challenger’s role as head of the private equity firm Bain Capital, casting him as a jobs “outsourcer” whose firm shipped thousands of U.S. positions overseas.

The Hill Poll, however, shows the extent to which voters hold Obama responsible for the economy and reveals his vulnerability should the election become primarily a referendum on his economic management.

Obama, for obvious reasons, wants the election to be a choice between him and Romney, not a referendum on his administrations record to date. Clearly that's not happening.

Of course, if it comes to a choice election, Romney is likely ok with that too.

By more than 2-1, 63%-29%, those surveyed say Romney's background in business, including his tenure at the private equity firm Bain Capital, would cause him to make good decisions, not bad ones, in dealing with the nation's economic problems over the next four years.

The findings raise questions about Obama's strategy of targeting Bain's record in outsourcing jobs and hammering Romney for refusing to commit to releasing more than two years of his tax returns. Instead, Americans seem focused on the economy, where disappointment with the fragile recovery and the 8.2% unemployment rate are costing the president.

This is getting ugly for Obama in a hurry (and beautiful for Romney). Of course, it's just the end of July, so no celebrating yet.

Is Minnesota Actually In Play?

Per Survey USA's latest release, President Obama's lead has been halved, down to just 46-40 over Mitt Romney.

So Mitt can carry the one state that Reagan lost in 1984?

No.

Circumstances may change, but the "Minnesota moderate" bloc is a hard nut to crack and gives a good cushion to the President. However, there is one finding from the poll that is very, very telling about the remaining Great Lakes states.

Read it all.

7 These days, who knows what is going on with politics. I think all the rules were thrown out the window in 2008 and we're operating under a whole new environment. All I know is, if Romney wins, the left will go berserk screaming even louder and worse than they did about Bush, from day 1. They learned in those years that no lie, no exaggeration, no invention is too big or too absurd for people to believe if you just yell it loudly and often enough.

Dear Imbeciles: No, There Isn't a Stimulus Plan Designed to Pay Your Utility Bills (JWF)

This scam first caught my attention a couple of weeks ago via a report out of Cleveland.

A myth that President Obama is giving people money to pay their bills has prompted thousands of people across the country to try to pay for utilities, phone service and loans using bogus bank routing numbers.

United Way of Cleveland's 2-1-1 changed its answering machine Monday to say rumors of the Obama program were false after fielding dozens of calls.

Later that day, a United Way employee was on an RTA bus when a rider stood up and announced to fellow passengers that Obama was paying people's bills.

Now since about half the country is already on the dole, basically the government is already paying their bills. But since the advent of Hopenchange the expectations that life would be free of pesky things like paying your bills has risen greatly.

Apparently now this scam has moved east and to the shock of nobody, some dopes in New Jersey are falling prey. I'm entitled to call them dopes since I live among them.

The scam began on the West Coast in May or possibly earlier, and then quickly moved east.

The hook — cast through phone calls, e-mails and text messages — was the same. The federal government, in a new stimulus plan, would pay that month’s utility bill. To apply, all a customer needed to do was provide a Social Security number and their own bank routing code.

None of it was true. It was just an identity theft sting aimed at stealing personal information. Plenty of people, though, took the bait.

In Louisiana and Texas, Entergy Corp. reported about 2,000 of its customers were conned. Other power companies that cover Tampa, Fla., the Carolinas, parts of Mississippi and several Midwestern states also reported hundreds more being taken in by the phony offer.

But nowhere in the nation was the scam apparently more effective than in New Jersey.

Insert requisite Jersey Shore joke wherever.

It seems this really sophisticated scheme involving asking for a Social Security number is something new to the folks around here. On the upside, the primary local provider, PSE&G, is kindly reminding any idiots who fell for this that they still have to pay their gas bills. But they've got their work cut out for them since there's no shortage of stupidity in these parts.

Officials at Public Service Electric & Gas Co., the state’s largest utility, said more than 10,000 customers were taken in after news of the "free" utility bill payment program quickly spread — not by the still unknown scammers, but by customers themselves, eager to share their good fortune.

I really hope some reporter asks Governor Christie about this.

It's really difficult to imagine where people may have gotten the notion that Dear Leader was going to be paying their bills.

35 I've said it before and I'll say it again: Obama is counting on stupid people to re-elect him

Yeah, the problem is that it only takes a couple of these scams to convince people that Obama isn't really paying their bills. Even the really stupid ones will get the point pretty quick.

Doubling down: GOP wins big [Fritzworth]

All the way back on June 1st -- almost two months ago -- I put my marker down that Romney was going to win big this fall:


Not 1984 big, but so decisively as to preempt any Dem claims of voter irregularities and to forestall any Dem voter irregularities themselves. ("If it's not close, they can't cheat." -- Hugh Hewett)

I'm doubling down now. I believe that things are shaping up for this to be an even uglier election for the Dems than 2010 was in terms of (a) GOP/conservative enthusiasm, (b) Dem discouragement, and (c) a significant break in independent voting towards the GOP candidates.

As a consequence, I believe:


Romney will win big (as per my original post).
The GOP will not only hold onto the House, but they may actually add a seat or two.
The GOP will take the Senate.
The 2010 trend towards GOP control of statehouses and state legislatures will continue.

Yes, yes, I know -- don't get cocky. I'm not. But I have to say that the GOP national committee under Reince Priebus is the best I've ever seen it, period, and Romney has not only taken the gloves off but seems to be unwrapping the tape from his hands. Meanwhile, the Dems -- and in particular, the Obama campaign -- is just not gaining traction. I think the "blame Bush/GOP" schtick has finally expired, just in time for the populace to put the blame for the current wretched economy squarely where it belongs.

I'd say pass the popcorn, but I plan to be in the thick of it, to continue to make financial donations (I have already) and to make donations of time as well. This is, IMHO, as critical an election as we've had in my lifetime -- and I'm nearly 60. Should be interesting. ..fritz..


ADDENDUM [2030 ET] One more data point that lends to my conclusion: my liberal friends on Facebook (and I have quite a few) seem to be getting a bit more, uh, desperate. When their best response to Romney's riff on Obama's "You didn't build that" gaffe is to dredge up a Romney quote to Olympic atheletes -- as if there's a direct parallel between athletes making it to the Olympics and the fundamental relationship between government and business -- you know things aren't going well. As I said: no real traction on the Left.

Oh, and dragonfly: I'll back up my marker with $1000. How's about you? ..fritz..
