There are only two things wrong with the Hillary Campaign her message and Bill

As a beginner when it comes to political campaigns and not as experienced as those she has around her, I have listened to some of her speeches and saw how quickly her husband has stepped on his tongue, all this reminds me of the message she was sending during her contest with Senator Barrack Obama and all that was left was “oh no not again”.  I then came to the realization that there are only two things she needs to change is her message and her husband. Let’s deal with Bill first, many call him the greatest weapon in the Democratic arsenal and at one point maybe he was.  Maybe the Bill we wish to remember is the one who had his entire plan mapped out in front of him, knew where he wanted to go and most importantly how to get there.  Yes he made several missteps along the way but to a person those who voted for him was very glad they did.  I don’t think we are looking at the same Bill today.  The drive he had then was so that he could lead the free world ...

Senator-Elect Joni Ernst Mitt Romney 47% Moment Cable News and National Media Missed

Don’t know whom her opponent in that race had working for him but plain to see, they were not doing as good of a job as they could have.  Ms. Ernst is okay with these things because it is what she knows and since she was allowed to say these things but never held to account for them makes her even more embolden.  In an article titled “Republican Joni Ernst Admits Why Republicans Really Hate Obamacare” written by Jonathan Chait for The Daily Intelligencer/The National Interest, the audacity of those most fortunate to worry less about making ends meet or never truly had to live from pay check to pay check floors me with their advice on what those that do need to do.  It never ceases to amaze me how those who have never struggled will stand and tell anyone how the life they have is not a struggle.  It’s like a man telling a woman how it feels to get raped when only she is the one who was. The article reported that Ms. Ernst said “We’re looking at Obamacare right no...

Finally Proof that the Culture of Sexual Harassment is not exclusive only to the Military

For so long sexual harassment has always been minimized by the public as nothing more than misunderstood and misinterpreted accounts of events.  Those claiming sexual harassment have always been looked upon as “troublemakers” and we were being led to believe that anything that they say could not be trusted.  While this may be the case and some of the allegation/cases, it cannot be true in all.  Individual liberties are being trampled on because those who are alleged to have committed this crime are rich, powerful, influential or untouchable.  This may be why Jesus wept for Jerusalem just before his murder. Take a look at this story written for The Raw Story by David Edwards titled “Iowa Senate Republican staffer fired after reporting sexual harassment” but had to be tripped over before it could be checked and double checked by larger media centers.  These are the stories that should be breaking news instead of the back and forth childish games begin play...

Why the conversation between President Obama and Tea Party Activists was a good thing.

If you listen to all the cable news channels, you may be hyped to think that this encounter was similar to a huge battle between two titans and should have been on pay-per-view.   That was no where near the case and leave it to cable news to build drama like TNT whose motto is “We know Drama’.   The AFP reports in their article titled Obama spars with Tea Party activist that “US President Barack Obama went head-to-head with a prominent conservative Tea Party activist, Ryan Rhodes, a leader of the group in Iowa, took on Obama during an open-air town hall meeting, which marked a moment of new intensity in the president's campaign for a second term.   Rhodes shouted out that the president's calls for more civility in politics had little chance of coming to pass after "your vice president is calling people like me, a Tea Party member, and a ‘terrorist”.   Obama reportedly responded by saying "In fairness, since I have been called a socialist who wasn't born in this c...
