]]>CNN reports:
Herman Cain, who suspended his own bid for the GOP presidential nomination amid a flurry of allegations of past sexual impropriety, backed Mitt Romney Wednesday - his third endorsement after dropping out of the race."I've met with him privately and now I'm telling everyone publicly, if Mitt Romney wasn't your favorite candidate for the Republican nomination, get over it! We need unity to take back the White House, the Senate and keep control of the House of Representatives," Cain wrote in a statement.
The former chief executive of Godfather's Pizza, Cain also held an endorsement event in Washington, D.C., where he was flanked by Rep. Michele Bachmann, herself a former presidential candidate, and Rep. Steve King of Iowa.
In a veiled shot at President Barack Obama's explanation for his change in position of same-sex marriage, Cain explained his multiple previous endorsements as "my endorsement evolved."
While Cain's endorsement may not mean a whole lot in the grand scheme of things, he's spot-on about the need for unity in the GOP which indeed needs to take back the White House, the Senate and keep control of the House of Representatives. As Jim DeMint says in his book, "Now or Never: Saving America from Economic Collapse," Election 2012 just may be America's last chance to turn our country around, save our freedoms, and rescue America from economic armageddon.
Anyone that hasn't already recognized that America stands at a tipping point of becoming a nanny state, with the payers and producers being far outnumbered by the takers and receivers, ever-increasing (Obama-induced) class warfare and divisiveness, and an ever-increasing loss of liberty and freedom, just hasn't been paying attention.

One far-left socialist ideologue mismanaging the country is bad enough, but two? Little wonder our nation is so divided and going downhill so rapidly.

"Welcome to the Bureau of Womanhood Conformity.
Independent thoughts are considered subversive.
Because all must agree with our Leader ... "
"If you refuse to accept that pregnancy is a punishment, you're denied as well."President Obama:
"I don't want them punished with a baby."Female Voice:

If you don't believe in aborting a child for being the wrong gender ...
And if you don't believe that stay-at-home mothers aren't real workers ...
You are not a real, conformed woman."
Simply put, in the mind of Obama and his minions, thinking for yourself and adhering to your own beliefs and values will get you tossed out of the "Approved Womenhood League."

"The real 'war on women' is the one being waged against women of faith and conscience," said Susan B. Anthony List President Marjorie Dannenfelser. "While this ad uses humor to make a point, the truth is that our rights are at stake. The Obama administration, their allies in Congress and the abortion lobby must end the assault on Life, conscience and religious liberty now."]]>

]]>"Despite multiple claims that the sanctions are working, the scope and the pace of Iran's nuclear program are expanding and accelerating," Joseph said at a breakfast meeting May 9.Given that Joseph is an adviser to Mitt Romney, one could say that his criticism of Obama's foreign policy is just an unfounded partisan attack. However, assuming the man has his facts right, and just going by the math ... it's damned hard to argue with the plain truth that under Obama's softline, touchy-feely, liberal-progressive, ideologically-based, "unshakable faith in engagement" with Tehran and Pyongyang, and a global push for eliminating all nuclear weapons -- we are in, at the very least, twice as much danger now as when Obama first took office. And things are continuing downhill from here as Iran and Pyongyang's leaders continue to play us like a fiddle while we do little more than dance to their tunes. ]]>Iran operated about 4,000 centrifuges for enriching uranium at a plant near Natanz at the end of 2008. Three years later, the IAEA reported that Iran's enrichment capacity in Natanz doubled to more than 8,000 centrifuges, he said.
Joseph, an adviser to presumed Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, said the two main themes of administration efforts to stop the flow of nuclear and other arms has been "an unshakable faith in engagement" with Tehran and Pyongyang and a global push for eliminating all nuclear weapons.
"My bottom line is that both of these themes have actually undermined our ability to stop proliferation, and in fact may produce the opposite effects of those intended, a more proliferated and more unstable and dangerous world," Joseph said.
On Iran, Joseph said Tehran's stockpile of low-enriched uranium increased five-fold from about 1,000 kilograms in early 2009 to over 5,000 kilograms today.
Additionally, the formerly covert underground nuclear plant is producing 20-percent enriched uranium, which is closer to what is needed for producing weapons.
[...] Obama's comment in Seoul recently to Russian President Dmitri Medvedev that he will be more flexible on missile defense talks after the November elections highlights "the broader ideological context of the anti-nuclear agenda of the administration," Joseph said.
"Unlike in Libya and Syria and elsewhere, where the administration is leading from behind, in the pursuit of a nuclear free world, it's leading from the front," he said. "The problem is no one else is following. And the consequences are likely, in my view, to be more proliferation, more instability, as the U.S. is challenged by both adversaries and friends alike for a lack of capability and a lack of resolve."

]]>So, Zbigniew Gorzkowski is not a citizen, yet he voted, right?
Oops, on the other hand ... could it be that there's at least one problem here and O'Keefe failed to do a simple Nexis search to get his facts straight? (apologies for the link to Think Progress)
"[Americans] go around telling people how sorry these politicians are, and they voted for all of them," Clinton said this morning during the Peter G. Peterson Foundation Fiscal Summit. "One of the problems is that we listen to the rhetoric of politicians and we pay almost no attention to their specific [plans]," he said, referring to the Republican legislators elected in 2010.Might I suggest that Bubba certainly has the right idea, but it's misdirected against the wrong party. Voters should indeed "take ownership" of government, look beyond the political rhetoric (and class warfare), and pay attention to politician's specific plans (and especially to the fact that they have no plan, no budget, ignore entitlement reform, and promote only divisiveness and greater debt ... as is the case with Barack Obama and his fellow Dems). ]]>He added that "the American people have got to take some ownership here, too."
The Romney campaign wants to introduce a new concept into the debate over President Obama's economic record. Imagine the president ran an investment firm. He poured billions of dollars into green energy projects that didn't work. People lost jobs. He poured billions into sometimes implausible stimulus projects that didn't work, either. And even when he succeeded in keeping companies afloat, as he did with General Motors and Chrysler, he did it by downsizing and laying off thousands of workers.More here.]]>And now, with that record, the president is attacking Mitt Romney for a successful career as a private equity investor at Bain Capital. Obama launched the first Bain attack ad Monday morning, blaming Romney for the failure of a Kansas City steel company, a failure that resulted in the loss of 750 jobs.
"We view Mitt Romney as a job destroyer," says one laid-off worker in the Obama ad.
Romney has long known the attack was coming. His campaign conducted a thorough study of all of Bain's dealings while Romney was there; they feel confident that Romney's record of successes far outweighs the failures. Romney also had an ad of his own waiting on Monday, featuring a steel mill that is thriving after Bain investments. And the Romney campaign took a hard look at those Obama investments."In the general election, I'll be pointing out that the president took the reins of General Motors and Chrysler, closed factories, closed dealerships, laid off thousands and thousands of workers," Mitt Romney said in January. "He did it to try to save the business."
That's the same sort of thing private equity investors do, Romney says -- they just don't do it with taxpayer dollars, as Obama has. And Romney supporters will likely emphasize that Obama's taxpayer-paid investments often went to people and organizations that contributed big money to Obama's campaign.
"When you're in the private sector, people make decisions based on profit and loss and what's going to create jobs and what's going to work," Romney adviser Ed Gillespie told conservative reporters on a conference call Monday afternoon. "When you have this level of government involvement in our economy, you have things like Solyndra and the decisions relative to the auto layoffs, and you don't have that transparency, you don't know if there's political influence -- who gets a health care waiver from the mandate and who doesn't? -- and they still don't say how they make those decisions."
"This crony capitalism ... is rampant in this administration and is a real problem," Gillespie said, "and yes, we are going to continue to talk about that."

]]>The Brotherhood, which was founded in 1928 by Hasan al-Banna, an admirer and supporter of Adolph Hitler and has now become the dominant player in Egypt and Gaza and is on the rise in a number of other areas, including Syria.You can order your copy of the pamphlet by clicking here ($3.00).But even here in America the Brotherhood, which has been active for decades has been increasing in power and influence in the past few years. They are the moving force behind the "mainstream" Islamic organizations such as Council on American-Islamic Relations (C.A.I.R) and the Muslim Students Associations (MSA).
This pamphlet outlines that history, chronicles its growth in America and dissects the insidious hidden agenda behind these seemingly benign organizations. This "Stealth Jihad" is a grave threat to the future freedoms and liberties of all Americans and threatens the basis of our laws in the Constitution.
Related: In this YouTube video from Walid Shoebat's site, Tom Trento, of United West, describes the recent collusion of Barack Obama with the Muslim Brotherhood and how the Muslim Brotherhood group ISNA is actively working to reelect Barack Obama:
According to Israel Elad Altman in his 2009 research monograph entitled "Strategies of the Muslim Brotherhood Movement," the Muslim Brotherhood, otherwise known as the Ikhwan:
... believes that its purposes in the West are, for the moment, better advanced by the use of non-violent, stealthy techniques. In that connection, the Muslim Brotherhood seeks to establish relations with, influence and, wherever possible, penetrate government circles in executive and legislative branches at the federal, state, and local levels; the law enforcement community; intelligence agencies; the military; penal institutions, the media; think tanks and policy groups; academic institutions, non-Muslim religious communities; and other elites. The Brothers engage in all of these activities and more for one reason: to subvert the targeted communities in furtherance of the Muslim Brother's primary objective -- the triumph of shariah.Much more here.
