Democrat NC Gov. Perdue’s Office Said “Suspending Elections” was a Joke … Listen to Audio, Doen’t not Sound like a Joke

The other day it was reported that North Carolina Democrat Governor Bev Perdue stated that “elections should be suspended” for two years. Quickly her office put out the talking points that she was just making a joke and using hyperbole. Really? The Daily Caller has the audio of Perdue’s comment regarding the suspension of election. I guess that Perdue must work on her stand up comic delivery or at least provide a rim shot to emphasize the comedy.

Listen for yourself and you make the call.

“Listen to the Governor’s words: She wasn’t joking at all,” North Carolina GOP spokesman Rob Lockwood told The Daily Caller. “The congressional Democrats are wildly unpopular in North Carolina, so she may have been trying to invent a solution to save their jobs from public accountability.”

“If it was a joke, what was the set-up?,” Lockwood adds. “What was the punch-line? Where was the pause for laughter? It took them three hours to say it was a ‘joke,’ but when that flopped it became ‘hyperbole.’ We’ll just call it an unconstitutionally bad idea.”

When just 17% of the American people think that the  country is headed in the right direction and Democrats are headed for another 2010 shellacking in the 2012 elections, I bet those in the “Donkey” party want the elections to be suspended.

EXIT QUESTION: If Democrats are willing to suspend the US Constitution for elections, what else are they willing to suspend it for? I wonder if Democrats would be asking for the suspension of elections if they thought they were predicted to remain in power?

Democrat Pollster Stan Greenberg Says Barack Obama Dragging Down Democrat Party

President Barack Obama goes from “The One” to THE ANCHOR.

Following the 2008 Presidential election Barack Obama was touted as “The One”, a rock start and the Obamamessiah. That was then and this is now. Democrat pollster Stan Greenberg has some grim news for Democrats. Believe it or not, polling data shows that Democrats are in worse shape for the 2012 elections than the shellacking they took in the 2010 midterm elections.  Democrats  have President Barack Obama to thank. Obama might as well be cement shoes on the feet of the Democrat party.  Greenberg has Obama losing to either GOP Presidential candidate Rick Perry or Mitt Romney.

One of the Democratic party’s leading pollsters released a survey of 60 Republican-held battleground districts today painting an ominous picture for Congressional Democrats in 2012. The poll shows Democratic House candidates faring worse than they did in the 2010 midterms, being dragged down by an unpopular president who would lose to both Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Mitt Romney.

Pollster Stan Greenberg released the poll with some sugary spin for Democrats, downplaying the results by arguing that the president’s jobs plan will improve the party’s fortunes.

In 60 battleground districts polled by Greenberg,  the data showed that there was not an anti-incumbent sentiment. Instead there was a definite backlash against Democrats. Of course this follows similar data from Rasmussen

Instead of an overall anti-incumbent sentiment impacting members of both parties, voters are taking more of their anger out on Democrats. When voters were asked whether they’re supporting the Republican incumbent or a Democratic candidate, 50 percent preferred the Republican and just 41 percent backed the Democrat.

Voters in these districts said they were more supportive of Republicans than they were during the 2010 midterms, when 48 percent said they backed the Republican candidate and 42 percent said they backed the Democrat. (Republicans won 55 percent of the overall vote in these 60 battleground districts, while Democrats took 43 percent.) In 2010, Republicans netted 63 House seats – their best showing since 1948.

Obama and Democrats like DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz can act like nothing is wrong all they want, Democrat pollster Stan Greenberg knows better. When an incumbent President has a job approval rating in the low 40′s, unemployment is consistently above 9% and a sitting Democrat President has lost ground with all voting demographics, including Jews and blacks … Houston Democrats, you have a problem.

Full polling data from the Greenberg-Carville poll can be seen HERE.

Putting a “sugary-spin” to such terrible polling data takes a trained professional to even attempt to make sugar from sh&t and Obama polling numbers from 48/47 approval/disapproval rating in the surveyed districts to a 41/55 today. YIKES! As Red State opines, why would any Democrat want a political campaign visit and stump speech from Obama? Unless for some reason you drew the sort straw. Seriously, how does any Democrat in a competitive, swing district have Obama come to their district or state? What is Obama going to stump about that will inspiring voters, the economy, the federal deficit, the unemployment rate, Obamacare? Look for many districts that were once considered safe for Democrats to be in play in 2012. Democrat Senators in battleground states like Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Missouri and Virginia will find hanging on to these seats, difficult at best.

EXIT QUESTION: If the 2010 midterm election was a shellacking, what would you call the 2012 election when Democrats lose the Presidency, control of the US Senate and further loses in the House?

Has Sarah Palin Bought a House in Scottsdale Arizona … Political Run?

Did she or didn’t she?

Rumor has it that Sarah Palin has bought a home in Scottsdale, Arizona. If so, it would certainly make a run for the 2012 Presidential election easier in the lower 48 than from Alaska. But speculation is abound as the property was purchased by an LLC. So, is this a run for the 2012 White House or for retiring Republican Jon Kyl’s US Senate seat?

ABC15 also reporting of the suspected real estate purchase, or rumors thereof.

Saturday outside a North Scottsdale home speculated to be the new property belonging to Sarah Palin, a black SUV with an Alaska license plate pulled up and asked our ABC15 crew to leave the area immediately.

The driver wouldn’t comment on whether Palin plans to move in so she can set up shop for a possible 2012 presidential run. But plenty of others are commenting.

“It’s the best place you could buy a second home in the entire United States,” said realtor Jeff Sibbach, who sells high end homes for John Hall & Associates. “It’s all speculation right now.”

That’s because nothing in the MLS says Sarah Palin.

I have to tend to agree with PJ Media, The Tatler, Palin bout a home right in the middle of one of the biggest issues that exists in politics today, illegal immigration. Far be it from Palin not to take on such an issue that Obama has failed so miserably on and is in direct contrast with “We the People”.

One thing is for certain, Saracuda has them buzzing again as to what her future plans are. BTW, before the LEFT starts making remarks of “carpet-bagging” if she goes after the retiring Senate seat of Jon Kyle, we just have two words … Hillary Clinton. As for the references to house/palace, how soon they forget the home many homes of Democrat Al Gore and the little shack of former NC Senator John Edwards. However, its safe to say in this real estate purchase if done by Sarah Palin, Tony Rezko was not involved.

Benedict Arnold Charlie Crist Gives $1,000 to Democrat Seeking Allen West (R-FL) US Rep. Seat

An Independent, eh? Well we know he was never a Republican … Nothing this Opportunist does would supri

Turncoat and former Florida Governor Charlie Crist gave $1,000 to the congressional campaign of Patrick Murphy, a Democrat who is going to challenge fir the seat of Republican U.S. Rep. Allen West. Crist is showing his true colors and that it might have even been a stretch to call him a RINO. Crist is a failed Republican and Independent … now he is going to test the waters of the Democrat party. What a political opportunist.

Crist: Really America, I am an Independent

Former Republican-turned-independent Gov. Charlie Crist gave $1,000 to the congressional campaign of Patrick Murphy, one of the Democrats who has opened a campaign for the seat of U.S. Rep. Allen West, R-Plantation.

Murphy’s political consultant, Eric Johnson, was an adviser to Crist’s failed independent campaign for Senate last year.

Crist, you can give all the money you want to Democrats, it still will not change the fact that you are a loser and got blown out by Marco Rubio in the Florida US Senate election in 2010. Republican and Tea Party favorite Allen West reported raising an eye popping $433,500 in the quarter. West is a politician with principle and conviction, which would be the anti-Crist.  It would appear that Crist is continuing his political road to nowhere.

So-Called Independent Florida Senate Loser Charlie Crist Apologizes for Use of 1985 Talking Heads Song “Road to Nowhere” in a 2010 Campaign

Road to Nowhere … more like Charlie Crist’s political career to nowhere.

Former Florida Governor Charlie Crist has settled his lawsuit with David Byrne, the lead singer of the Talking Heads for Crist’s unauthorized use of the song “Road to Nowhere”. The song was used during Crist’s campaign without permission. As part of the settlement, Davis Byrne forced Charlie Crist to record embarrassing apology for stealing Talking Heads song, watch the VIDEO here.

A much more fitting Crist theme song:  Karma Chameleon by Culture Club

Desert loving in your eyes all the way
If I listen to your lies would you say
I’m a man without conviction
I’m a man who doesn’t know
How to sell a contradiction
You come and go, you come and go

Former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist has settled a lawsuit filed by Talking Heads singer David Byrne after Crist used one of the group’s songs without permission in a campaign ad last year, both parties confirmed Monday.

Terms of the settlement were not released, but it included a recorded apology by Crist that was posted on YouTube Monday afternoon. Byrne had sued Crist for $1 million for using the song “Road to Nowhere” in a YouTube video attacking Marco Rubio, one of the governor’s opponents in the U.S. Senate race.

Crist said Monday that he was pleased with the terms of the settlement and that Byrne “couldn’t have been a better guy” when they met last week to mediate the case.

Charlie Crist, the once Republican turned Independent, but really wannabe pseudo Democrat lost to Republican Marco Rubio badly in the 2010 Florida US Senate race. A fitting end to a disastrous Senate campaign.

Is There Nothing They Will Not Do … Democrats Tried to Obtain Medical Info on Senator Scott Brown (R-MA) & His Family

Is there no level that Democrats will not sink to in order to gain information on some one they are targeting in an attempt to win an election? The Boston Herald reports that the DCCC has requested information about Senator Scott Brown and his family from Brown’s insurance company. UNREAL. For what good reason would any one want this information on the Senator and his family?

U.S. Sen. Scott Brown — an upstart Blue State Republican in the cross hairs of national Democrats — is lashing out at the party’s opposition researchers, accusing them of prying into his family’s private health insurance records, and demanding that they stop fighting dirty.

“It seems in bad form. Obviously, when it comes to information about my wife and daughters, it crosses the line. I find it offensive and so do they,” Brown told the Herald yesterday

“They (Democrats) don’t have any business muddling in the private health records of my family,” said Brown, adding that his family is “disturbed” by the intrusion.

Officials from the Group Insurance Commission, the state’s health insurance provider, notified Brown on Tuesday that the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee asked them “to provide insurance information,” according to a copy of the GIC letter obtained by the Herald.

 The Democrats are out to slime Brown in whatever way they can try and win back the US Senate seat in Massachusetts. However, this ugly type of mudslinging politics might just backfire in the Bay State. As opined by the Lonely Conservative, the DCCC spokesperson accused Scott Brown of trying to score political points, because he dare object  to this intrusion into his privacy. Even when caught in a hideous act, they try and spin their way through it. Do these people have no shame?

Democrats in their delusional and panicked state think that Republican Scott Brown is vulnerable. Really? Maybe they might want to read the polling numbers of Brown in Massacusettes and comprehend that he is the most popular politician in MASS.

In fact, he’s the most popular politician in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, with an approval rating of 73 percent.  To top it all off, his “re-elect” score is comfortably above 50 percent, which is unusual for a Republican in an overwhelmingly Democratic state.

The Road Map to How the GOP Regains the US Senate … 10 Targeted Seats

First Read provides a road map that shows a difficult path for Democrats to remain in power in the Senate and a rosier path for Republicans. The GOP just needs a net pickup of 3 seats to gain control in the US Senate and it seems that 8 of the top 10 Democrat Senate seats could flip to the GOP.

1. North Dakota (D): Sen. Kent Conrad’s (D) decision to retire has placed this seat in extreme jeopardy in the “red”state of ND.

2. Nebraska (D):  Sen. Ben Nelson (D). Nebraska voters will not forget the ”Cornhusker Kickback” during the health-care debate. 

3. Montana (D): Freshman Democrat Jon Tester won narrowly in 2006 in a year that saw the Senate flip from the GOP to the Democrats. However, the political environment has changed significantly since then.

4. Missouri (D): Sen. Claire McCaskill. She can pretend to be a moderate all she wants, the voters, especially independents are not buying.

5. Virginia (D): As Jim Webb (D) retires, we are presented with the hypothetical matchup between former Gov. Tim Kaine and ’06 Senate race loser George Allen.

6. New Mexico (D): Jeff Bingaman’s retirement puts this seat in play, but it could be a tough get for Republicans in a state that swung for Obama in 2008.

7. Nevada (R): Heller’s entrance gave Republicans a much better chance at holding this seat than if John Ensign stayed in the race.

8. Massachusetts (R) : Scott Brown is being targeted by Democrats; however, Brown remains the most popular politician in the state. 

9. Florida (D): Can Bill Nelson hang on in the state that elected Rick Scott (R) governor and US Senator Marco Rubeo in 2010?

10. Michigan (D): Will the economy be the Democrats undoing? Will Obama’s campaigning in the state going to be enough to put Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D) over the top even though he has shown a lack of coattails in the past? The GOP did surprising well in the 2010 elections in Michigan, including winning the Governor’s seat.

 After Republicans picked up six seats in 2010, Democrats will be hard pressed to maintain a majority following the 2012 elections.

Senate GOP Trying to Recruit MSNBC’s RINO Joe Scarborough to Run Against Bill Nelson in 2012 Florida Senate Race

When will Republicans ever learn? JUST SAY NO TO JOE!

Ever wonder why the GOP became the minority in the US Senate by a near super-minority? It was for the exact reasons like the report from The Hill, where the GOP is wooing MSNBC’s Joe  Scarborough to runagainst incumbent Democrat Senator Bill Nelson in Florida. Republican voters do not want RINO’s, especially in a state that in the last election say victory for Republican Gov. Rick Scott and Republican/Tea party Conservative Marco Rubio.

Republicans in Washington are trying to recruit Joe Scarborough to run against Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) next year.

Sen. John Cornyn (Texas), who heads the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), told The Hill on Thursday that he has talked to Scarborough a couple times about a Senate bid. And he indicated he’s still working on persuading the MSNBC host to run for the upper chamber.

Name recognition, that’s what the blue blood, country club Republicans think that “We the People” want and the country needs? NAME RECOGNITION? One might want to ask what name recognition that Marco Rubio had when he won in a landslide in his Florida US Senate race. As stated by Weasil Zippers, “No effen RINOs. I guess we didn’t make ourselves clear enough last November”. What more message to the clueless GOP establishment need? Did the powers that be in the GOP Senate not learn when they backed RINO, turncoat Charlie Crist? How out of touch is the  NRSC?

Cornyn noted on Thursday that Scarborough’s name ID is higher now than it was back then. Scarborough has been with MSNBC for the past eight years, initially hosting “Scarborough Country” and now “Morning Joe.”

Scarborough is happy with what he is doing, Cornyn stressed. But Cornyn also made it clear that he thinks there is a chance Scarborough could run.

Republicans Appear to be in Good Shape to Take Back the US Senate in 2012

As reported at The Hill, the GOP is poised to take the US Senate in 2012. Although in the political world two years is a long ways away and any thing can happen between now and then, the sudden rash of Senate  retirements have caused alarm for Democrats and their quest to retain power. Democrats presently have a 53 – 47 advantage in the Senate; however, Democrats have 23 seats to defend, while the GOP only has 10.

The first edition of The Hill’s 2012 race ratings puts five Democratic-held seats in the toss-up column. Republicans need a net gain of at least three seats to win the Senate.

Sens. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) and Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) are the two incumbents that top of the list of vulnerable Senate Democrats in 2012. And, thanks to retirements, another three Democratic-held seats are toss-ups — the ones held by Sens. Kent Conrad (N.D.), Jeff Bingaman (N.M.) and Jim Webb (Va.).

The Hill has called the following five present Democrat seats as “Toss ups”: Tester (MT), Nelson (NE), Bingaman (NM) – OPEN, Conrad (ND) – OPEN, Webb (VA) – OPEN and the following four as “Leaning Democrat”: Nelson (FL), McCaskill (MO), Brown (OH), Manchin (WV). With so many Democrat seats in jeopardy, it would seem hard to believe that Democrats can retain power in the Senate, especially after the election trends of 2010. Montana, North Dakota and Nebraska are “red” states, while Virginia Missouri and Ohio have trended to the GOP lately.

This seems to also fall in line with what Charlie Cook stated in that the Democrats are going to have a difficult time and a grim future in the US Senate in 2012 and 1014.

The Dana Pretzer Show On Scared Monkeys Radio – Tuesday, March 1st, 2011 – Special Guests: Jeannie McDonough, Wendy Murphy & Robin Sax

LISTEN TO THE DANA PRETZER SHOW ON SCARED MONKEYS RADIO

Tonight Dana welcomes special guests:

• Wendy Murphy - Discussing Her Recent Patriot Ledger Article, ‘IF THERE WERE ONLY BOOK SALES AND COMPASSION FOR ALL VICTIMS WHO TELL’

Child sexual abuse makes billions of dollars every year for pornographers. Why shouldn’t reporting it make money, too? As for political benefits, the topic makes most people squeamish, which can backfire in politics, as it does at dinner parties when I talk about my work. It’s just not the kind of thing people like to think about – no matter how strongly they may feel about tougher laws and better justice for victims.

• Robin Sax - Discussing the Charlie Sheen saga and his rants against and firing at the hands of CBS as well as other “high quality” people.
