The recent presidential election loss has many Republicans talking about immigration reform and the changing demographics of America. Several conservative commentators have suggested that the GOP should agree to an amnesty bill in hopes that will give the Republican Party an opportunity to compete for the Hispanic vote. This would be a fatal mistake. Giving illegal immigrants amnesty would come off as pandering and would not actually address the issues Hispanics voters have with the Republican Party.
Every election always seems like it is more important than the last, but this time it may actually be true. Americans will go to the polls and decide whether to keep our country on the same path we have been on for the past four years or to change course.
There is one fact that should make this an obvious choice: Americans are not better off than they were four years ago. From high unemployment to shrinking household incomes to a failed budget and a foreign policy disaster, American have a very clear choice to make.
The Romney campaign and his various SuperPACs have issued a lot of hard-hitting ads. Here are the ten best ads that make the case for voters to give Mitt Romney their vote on November 6:
1) Romney’s RNC Biographical Tribute Video:
This extended video was played at the 2012 Republican National Convention in Tampa, FL.
There have been plenty of gaffes and negative stories during this campaign season, but many have noticed a trend emerge: gaffes originating from Barack Obama, his administration and his campaign are often mitigated by a lack of coverage. The past two weeks has been a primary example of this phenomenon as countless embarrassing stories and statements from President Obama and his reelection campaign have been mostly ignored by much of the press. One has to wonder how these would be covered if they had come from a Republican:
1) President Obama stated that concern over Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon is just “noise.” Interestingly, this is the same word that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad used on this topic.
Yesterday started as a day where Americans should have felt united in our commemoration of the tragedy that occurred on September 11th, 2001. The two presidential campaigns had seemingly agreed to avoid major attacks today and almost the whole country was focused on remembering that tragic day and the unity that followed.
However, just like the trajectory of this Presidency, it went downhill rather fast due to the reality of incompetence and failure that permeates this administration. Apologies in the face of attacks and lack of solemn awareness of a national tragedy plagued the administration yesterday.
The general assumption among the public is that the current policy arguments over Medicare are ones that mostly seniors should care about, but the reality is the complete opposite. The truth is that the group that will be most impacted by this debate are the young people that are just starting to pay into the Medicare system.
Aside from some cuts that are part of President Obama’s healthcare law, neither side had proposed any significant changes to the Medicare system for anyone that is currently 55 or older. However, what we choose to do with the Medicare system after that point and how we handle its unsustainable nature, will have a huge impact on the lives of the next few generations – and the Romney-Ryan ticket is serious about the impact on the coming generations.
Journalistic biases are often more about what is left out than what is actually said.
This morning’s episode of CBS’s Face the Nation was a classic example of the sort of journalistic malpractice that has led more and more Americans to tune out the Sunday morning shows.
