Tomorrow marks a week since Mitt Romney announced his choice of Congressman Paul Ryan to join him on America's Comeback Team, and it's clear that his choice has reshaped the race in a positive way. The Obama team's increasing vitriol is a sure sign that they're rattled by the pick. Unable to engage in an elevated policy debate, they've spent the past few days drowning in their own venom.

Since the announcement in Norfolk, Virginia on Saturday:

President Obama is on defense over his $716 billion raid of current Medicare beneficiaries to pay for Obamacare, and allowing the hospital trust fund to go broke by the time those aged 50 or below are Medicare eligible. The political director of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee warned this week that the issue could cost Democrats the election.

At the same time, the Romney Plan for a Stronger Middle Class is gaining traction. Voters in the swing states believe that Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan have a better plan than Barack Obama and Joe Biden "to reduce the deficit, create jobs and get the economy moving."^[1]

Polling data shows Romney gaining since the announcement. Both Gallup and Rasmussen show us leading Obama in national polling, and recent statewide polling shows us picking up ground in Ohio and Virginia.

While President Obama's team continues its campaign of frustration and division to distract voters from his failed record, the Romney-Ryan team will continue offering solutions to the challenges facing our nation. America is ready for a comeback and if this past week is any indication, America's comeback will begin on November 6th.

Currently reading THE COMMUNIST, the well-researched book about BO's mentor, Frank Marshall Davis.  It clearly reveals the background that created this "perfect storm".  The outcome of his continued presidency will not be pretty, nor will we like it.

  

THEY FINALLY PUBLISHED "MY" VERSIONS OF THE GREAT DOCTOR- SEUSS 
Dr. Seuss For Older Kids ~ 



Just in case you weren't feeling too old today......... 

The people who are starting college this fall were born in 1993. 

They are too young to remember the space shuttle blowing up. 

Their lifetime has always included AIDS. 

The CD was introduced two years before they were born. 

They have always had an answering machine. 

They have always had cable. 

Jay Leno has always been on the Tonight Show. 

Popcorn has always been microwaved..

They never took a swim and thought about Jaws. 

They don't know who Mork was or where he was from. 

They never heard: 'Where's the Beef?', 'I'd walk a mile for a Camel ' or 'de plane Boss, de plane'. 

McDonald's never came in Styrofoam containers. 

They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter. 

Pass this on to the other old fogies on your list. 

Notice the larger type? 

That's for those of us who have trouble reading. 

P.S. Save the earth.
It's the only planet with chocolate.

 Conclusive Evidence of Death

There is, finally, conclusive evidence that Osama bin Laden and Muammar Gaddafi are dead. Yesterday, they both registered to vote in Chicago. (Democratic Party)

A TEXAS TAN LINE

 

 

VERY INTERESTING, BUT REMEMBER THESE NUMBERS ARE THE ONES REPORTED BY PEOPLE, NOT NECESSARILY THE FULL PICTURE. MANY FOLKS ARE CAREFUL ABOUT NOT DISCLOSING THEIR GUN OWNERSHIP.

A TRUE TOUCH OF CLASS!   There's a group of ladies in the Dallas area who make and stuff neck pillows for soldiers coming through Dallas Fort Worth airport. They go to the airport and meet the incoming planes every week and greet the soldiers coming back for a few weeks R&R, give them a pillow, tell them they pray for them, and thank them for their service. The lady who took the pictures said everyone was so surprised to see George and Laura Bush recently just standing quietly in the waiting area with others who come to meet the troop planes. She said it was amazing to watch the faces of the soldiers light up in recognition when they spotted them and that many came over to speak and shake hands.   PLEASE PASS THIS ON........... And, tell me once again the name of the person in the White House who bad-mouths this man and his wife.
