MSNBC have reached new lows by hiring race baiter Al Sharpton to spit the news. Here is video of him ad libbing when he loses his place on the teleprompter. The only thing that could be funnier would be a Sharpton interview with Barney Frank. Elmer Fudd could moderate. Maybe he had a little drink with Chris Mathews before he came on.
From Herman Cain campaign; “This is the video diary of the first day on the Common Sense Solutions Bus Tour in Iowa. The bus stopped in Sioux City, Denison, and Council Bluffs on day 1.” “Should we get on the bus? Of course we should get on the bus. If you get on the bus you can join the Herman Cain train on the bus,” according to Cain.
Michele Bachmann was on ‘The O’Reilly Factor’ last night 8/8/2011 to explain what she would do to fix this economy. The first thing she would do is fire the Treasury Secretary and get a team in there that knows what they are doing. Then she would call Congress back from vacation to fix the downgrade problem. “We have to have entitlement reform now,” according to Bachmann. She also says she would repeal Obamacare and reform Medicare. Bachmann claims there will be no Medicare under Obamacare, and as President she “will not rest until we repeal Obamacare.”
Tim Pawlenty’s campaign have released a new ad that says executive experience matters, and uses the dismal Obama’s administration as an example.
Here is ‘Experience Matters’ from Tim Pawlenty;
Republican candidate Fred Karger claims he has satisfied all of the requirements to qualify for the Republican debate put on by Fox News this Thursday 8/11/2011. He sent a letter to Fox News explaining his situation;
Dear All:
I am a declared Republican candidate for President of the United States who meets all of the requirements to participate in the Fox News Debate on August 11, 2011 in Ames Iowa.
Your criteria states:
Candidates must satisfy the following by 4 p.m. CDT on Tuesday, August 9, 2011
1. Registered with the Federal Elections Commission as a presidential exploratory committee or presidential campaign.
2. Meet all U.S. Constitutional requirements.
3. Garnered at least an average of one percent in five national polls based on most recent polling leading up to the registration day.
Attached is a new national poll that came out yesterday. It was conducted by Harris Interactive, sample size 1,168 that was in the field between August 2 – 4, 2011. The Harris Poll tested all 12 major declared Republican candidates for President. I am at 2%, tied with former Governors Tim Pawlenty and Jon Huntsman. With this latest national poll, I now meet your objective criteria of averaging at least 1% in five national polls.
Karger then submitted the Harris poll to support his claim, but the most interesting part of the poll was that 46% of those polled didn’t want any of the 12 declared candidates;

The Democratic rapid response team have whooped up the newest charge that the Tea Party is at fault for all of the nations woes, and have taken it a step further by saying that all of the republican candidates for the Presidency are ruled by the Tea Party mentality. According to the ad, “like Washington Republicans and the Tea Party. Republican presidential candidates are planning to duck their responsibilities to the middle class, dodge their obligations to seniors, and dismantle critical education and job creation programs. Like Washington Republicans and the Tea Party, Republican presidential candidates are offering no new ideas.” The ad then claims, “Republican presidential candidates are providing no new leadership. They’re just following the Tea Party & Republicans in Congress.” The Democratic rapid response team wants you to believe that all of the Republican candidates have “extreme aims” for America.
Who is Herman Cain and what is a common sense solution? Cain wants to help you figure this out with his new campaign ad and a bus tour that is ripping through Iowa right now. According to Cain, “Today we start our “Common Sense Solutions” Iowa bus tour! Wonder if we’ll pass President Obama’s bus– “Downgrade One”– on the way!” The campaign ad includes a bunch of cuts from Fox News, his bus tour schedule, and the “Get On Board The Herman Cain Train” song.
Here is ‘Who Is Herman Cain?’
Fox News Sunday continues it’s ‘One on One 2012’ series which introduces us to the candidates running for President 2012. Yesterday (8/7/2011) was Tim Pawlenty’s turn. Pawlenty has had a hard time with name recognition in the early polls, but he is not worried. According to Pawlenty if the polls meant anything we would have Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton as a President today. Pawlenty goes into his differences with Michele Bachmann, saying he has far more executive experience, and she has accomplished nothing.
