Democrats owed 2008 victory to Internet; in 2010, the Internet strikes back - Yahoo! NewsFew people will dispute that the Nov. 2 elections are about the next president, too. In his 2008 campaign, President Obama established a cult of personality around himself. Now Obama may be stuck with a cult-like following, particularly if his personalization of issues leads to an overall Democrat Party downfall.

Pennsylvania's Marcellus Shale tax issue unresolved - Yahoo! News

Pennsylvania's Marcellus Shale tax issue unresolved - Yahoo! NewsAside from federal taxes, Pennsylvanians pay sales taxes, income taxes, municipal taxes, property taxes, head taxes, vehicle taxes, state liquor store taxes, cell phone taxes and cable television taxes -- to name just a few. Now, Gov. Ed Rendell and state Democrats are trying to push a new energy tax onto a new Pennsylvania industry at a time when many Pennsylvanians are unemployed.

Some Republicans also support taxing the energy industry, which is buying lease contracts for natural gas extraction from the Marcellus Shale deposits, an expanse of porous rock that spans several states. But Republicans have proposed a lower tax rate.

Before a compromise agreement could be worked out, Pennsylvania Republicans were blindsided by the lame-duck Gov. Rendell, who announced in a press release that bipartisan talks about taxing the energy companies drilling for natural gas in Pennsylvania's were dead. The governor said that "...the refusal of Senate and House Republicans to negotiate in good faith on terms of a promised natural gas severance tax has killed the effort to enact it into law this year."

I ask the rhetorical question: Why do people smoke marijuana?

There are two possible answers—medicinal purposes and to get high. Regarding the medicinal purposes of marijuana, it's pretty clear there are hundreds of better prescription pain management remedies. Sure, people will claim that nothing relieves their pain like marijuana. But most people smoke marijuana with no other purpose than to get high. So I'm making a short list of activities you would be able to legally do while high. Ask yourself if you're comfortable with:

Desperate Democrats Aim Cheap Shots at Republican Candidates

Democrat Party flaks are taking cheap shots in their desperation move to salvage a failed Obama administration. The economy couldn’t be worse, joblessness is at an all time high, and the Obama policies have made things worse. Instead of coming up with a plan, the plan has been to campaign against George Bush (remember him?) and to justify the trillion dollar Obama giveaway stimulus by saying it kept the economy from falling off a cliff. News flash—it has fallen off a cliff and that trillion was largely wasted.

David Axelrod, an Obama political hack who works for whomever pays his tab, is questioning the source of some money coming into the Republican campaign.

This while Democrats have raked in at least 10 million dollars from foreign PACS without disclosing where the money came from. Obama’s Muslim pals contributed heavily during his 2008 campaign, expecting the U.S., under Obama’s leadership, to retreat from its support of Israel. That foreign money seems to have been well spent as the Obama administration pressures Israel to make concessions. In a heinous snub, Obama also made Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu enter and exit the White House through the back door.

You’d have to be daft in failing to understand why the Obama administration has received so much foreign money. I mean, if you were a terrorist, would you have voted for George Bush? If you were Ahmadinajad, would you have voted for John McCain?

Obama Econ Team Encourages Weak Dollar

Even Turbotax Tim Wants Strong Dollar

It’s hard to find anyone, even in the Obama team, who wants to weaken the dollar still further. Yet, Bernanke still puts downward pressure on the dollar in the hope of stimulating employment. It’s a strategy that hasn’t worked yet, yet the Obama team keeps burning dollars. The cheap dollar helps American exports, they say, but American companies aren’t hiring and unemployment continues to increase to record levels. Tim Geithner was one of about 200 economists who think Obama's cheap dollar policy is hurting America.

Blumenthal's Lie About Vietnam Service Discredits Vietnam Veterans

There's something about Democrats and the Vietnam War that leads to long noses. Michael Blumenthal lied about his Vietnam Service, doing a tremendous injustice to real Vietnam Veterans. Worse, Blumenthal's apologies are unclear and he continues to rely on duplicitous lawyerly semantic statements to justify his lies.

This says a lot about character. You can expect Blumenthal to similarly play fast and loose with the truth should he get into office in the Connecticut race. If Blumenthal wants to salvage his honor, the right thing to do would be to withdraw from the race. Maybe there's some reality series or game show he can do--like Elliot Spitzer.

California Governor's Race: Did Jerry Brown Initiate Smear Campaign Against Meg Whitman? -


The contrived issue of Meg Whitman’s alleged hiring of an illegal immigrant may or may not have originated with the Jerry Brown campaign. However, since constitutional protections against the presumption of guilt are so often not applied to political “journalism,” can we presume that the Jerry Brown – Gloria Allred campaigns are low-down, dirty, and need to curtail their toxic emissions? That would be climate change you can believe in.
