House Speaker John Boehner has put together a chart that shows “the Obama administration has spent more than three years blocking efforts to expand energy production and bring down gas prices, while pushing job-crushing tax hikes and taxpayer-backed loans to companies like Solyndra.” As usual the President is placing blame for the high gas prices on anything else but his policies.
Ron Paul has a new ad that calls the others a serial hypocrite, a counterfeit conservative, and a flip flopper whose been on all sides. Then the ad claims, “one man stands apart.” “Ron Paul, the one who will restore American now.”
Jon Stewart of Comedy Central had a clip the other night that accused Fox News of using GOP talking points. According to the story, Fox News needs the GOP to remind them that gas prices are at a record high. It looks like gas prices are probably going to keep getting higher for the summer driving season. It has gotten so bad that a new trend is out called “staycations.” You stay home during your vacation because you can’t afford the gas to drive anywhere. The deficient is at 15 trillion, up 5 trillion since President Obama took office, and Stewart thinks it is a conspiracy when Fox Business channel talks about it. Unemployment has been an issue the entire Obama administration. The only improvement has been because of those that give up on unemployment and don’t get counted anymore. I can remember that being a huge issue during the Reagan years, now those little people don’t matter anymore. They don’t fit the script of an improving economy which the mainstream media is trying to push. Stewart then ends his little segment with a freeze frame shot of one of the Fox hosts using it to ridicule her. You could easily freeze frame Stewart in this little segment 100 times and make him look like a complete idiot every time. That is not a fair tactic, and doesn’t prove anything other than he has a cleaver editor. I think the only thing Stewart really proves with this segment is that every other news organization that doesn’t point out these things; the rising gas prices that are crippling our economy, the deficient that is putting a burden on our children, and the stagnant unemployment picture, are all actually in the bed with the DNC.
It is a real problem when so many on the left get their “news” from the “Comedy Channel.” This is “political humor and satire” by Stewart’s own words, not reality. This clip was put together to be funny, not reality.
Sarah PAC have released a video that tries to set the record straight on the movie “Game Change” from HBO. They say the movie is a history of the 2008 campaign that “never happened.” This movie portrays Sarah Palin as a bumbling idiot in way over her head, and Sarah PAC would like to issue a “fact change.”
“Man Against the Mob” from Accuracy in Media, a memorial tribute to Andrew Breitbart who died today.
Accuracy in Media was saddened this morning to learn that a true champion for grassroots journalism had so suddenly passed away. We at AIM will always remember him as a man who fearlessly stood up for liberty, truth and honest media. Accuracy in Media believes that his efforts will not end with his passing, but will only inspire a legion of new citizen journalists and watchdogs bent on exposing corruption and media falsehoods.
Rick Santorum gave his victory speech after placing second in Mitt Romney’s “home” state. “We could put millions of Americans back to work — and that’s underscoring millions of Americans — if we could unleash the entrepreneurial spirit of the energy sector of the economy, we could drive down prices, decrease our dependency on foreign oil but … We need a president who says yes to the American people and energy production,” Rick Santorum told his crowd. “It’s getting harder for people to make ends meet because we have a government that is crushing us every single day with more taxes, more regulations and the idea that they know better than you how to run you’re life,” Santorum added. He said, “A month ago they didn’t know who we are, but they do now.”
Mitt Romney did his victory speech last night admitting he didn’t win by much, “but we won by enough, and that’s what counts.” Romney told the crowd of supporters, “this president, by the way, he likes to remind us that he inherited an economy that was in crisis. But he doesn’t like to remind us that he also inherited a Democrat congress. He had majorities in both the House and Senate. He was free to pursue any policy is pleased.” “This campaign is about saving the soul of America. This election comes down to two very different visions of America. It’s a choice between becoming of and by Washington or remaining a nation of and by free people. A choice between entitlement society and the land of opportunity. A choice between squandering America’s promise and restoring that promise for future generations,” Romney said.
CNN caught up with Rick Santorum and asked about Mitt Romney saying that Santorum is kidnapping the primary process by encouraging democrats to vote for Santorum in Michigan. He responded, “that’s what bullies do. When you hit them back, they whine.”
