Snapped from an absolutely brutal ad by the RNC:
In his entire life, Joe Biden has never worked a single day in the real world. He's been suckling on the public teat since he left law school. And he's just one heartbeat away from the presidency.
We can remedy this on the first Tuesday in November.

A SIMPLE CHOICE: Adolescent Rule or Adult Decision-Making
In the wake of the VP debate, Whoopie offers what I think is an incisive summary:
My guess is that the Leftists' glee over Biden's performance will fade quickly. Anyone who watched the debate will remember only the Cheshire Cat grin of the Vice President during the most inappropriate of moments.
They say that VP debates never decide Presidential elections and maybe that’s so, but this one should because once again it showed the stark contrast that divides this nation.
Do voters want four more years of clownish adolescent rule or are they ready to let adults run the nation again?
...Apparently, unlike other Presidents who have calculated that besides their steadfast base, they need a majority of the middle to win, Obama and his Party have written off the political center entirely.
They feel that they can cobble together a coalition of fringe groups [including] the free Obama phone social parasites, anarchists, Animal Rights activists, the Green Movement, the open border crowd, the willfully uninformed and uneducated, the porn industry, the Hollywood elites, the criminal class and sundry malcontents with a grudge against society.
In short, all the elements that the conniving Communists of the old Soviet Union incubated in an attempt to undermine American society and erode our culture. It’s truly ironic that the Soviet Union has long since gone extinct, but their legacy lives on in our very midst.
To me the most troubling aspect of Biden’s childish behavior (laughing, chuckling, mugging faces) was that he was doing it while Ryan spoke of serious matters, like the death of a US Ambassador or our troops in harms way or the threat of a nuclear armed Iran.
My guess is that the Leftists' glee over Biden's performance will fade quickly. Anyone who watched the debate will remember only the Cheshire Cat grin of the Vice President during the most inappropriate of moments.
ON A ROLL: The Golfer
I suspect that this tale -- sent in by Bernie -- is based on a true story.
Hey, hey, hey: don't blame the messenger!
Stan Waller was at the country club for his weekly round of golf. He began his round with an eagle on the first hole and a birdie on the second.
On the third hole he had just scored his first ever hole-in-one when his cell phone rang... It was a doctor notifying him that his wife had just been in a accident and was in critical condition and in ICU.
The man told the doctor to inform his wife where he was and that he'd be there as soon as possible. As he hung up he realized he was leaving what was shaping up to be his best ever round of golf. He decided to get in a couple of more holes before heading to the hospital. He ended up playing all eighteen, finishing his round shooting a personal best 61, shattering the club record by five strokes and beating his previous best game by more than 10. He was jubilant....
Then he remembered his wife. Feeling guilty he dashed to the hospital. He saw the doctor in the corridor and asked about his wife's condition.
The doctor glared at him and shouted, "You went ahead and finished your round of golf didn't you! I hope you're proud of yourself!"
"While you were out for the past four hours enjoying yourself at the country club your wife has been languishing in the ICU! It's just as well you went ahead and finished that round because it will be more than likely your last! For the rest of her life she will require round the clock care and you will be her care-giver! She will need IV's; you will have to change her colostomy bag every 3 hours; she will have to be spoon fed three times a day and don't forget the hygiene care!"
The man broke down and sobbed.
The doctor chuckled and said, "I'm just messing with you. She's dead.
What'd you shoot?"
Hey, hey, hey: don't blame the messenger!
I'LL KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR YOU: Enormous eyeball that washed up on Florida beach could come from the Pelosi genus
Say, is the former speaker wearing an eye-patch today?
If the eyeball didn't come from the representative from San Francisco, odds are it was once attached to a giant squid (according to renowned biologist Dr. Biff Spackle, Ph.D, M.F.A, B.M.F).

OH, IT'S ON: Open Warfare Breaks Out Between the White House and the Clinton Clan
How else can one describe the escalating rhetoric bouncing between the State Department and the White House, each volley intended to duck blame for the Benghazi terror attack?
How are Bill and Hillary dealing with this sellout? Not well, according to bestselling author Ed Klein.
Klein also noted that the famously troubled Obama-Clinton relationship has "reached a new low" with Joe Biden's refusal to have Bill Clinton help guide the gaffe-master's debate strategy.
That thumping noise you heard was Hillary Clinton going under the bus.
White House throws Hillary under the 2012 bus
The White House is throwing Hillary Clinton under the 2012 election bus... Top officials have already claimed the nation’s intelligence agencies did not alert the White House to the growing danger facing the State Department’s facility in Benghazi, Libya, which was destroyed Sept. 11 by a jihadi attack on the 11th anniversary of the atrocities in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.
The claim was repeated Oct. 11 by Vice President Joe Biden during the vice presidential debate in Danville, Ky. “We weren’t told they wanted more security,” he announced. [And] Ben Rhodes, President Barack Obama’s deputy national security adviser for communications, extended the claim Oct. 11 by telling told Foreign Policy magazine that neither Biden nor President Barack Obama knew of the growing danger.
...“These kinds of issues are handling in the State Department by security officials,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said during Friday’s press briefing... Security matters “are decided at the State Department,” he said, amid tough questioning from Fox News Channel’s Ed Henry.
The White House’s statements leaves Hillary Clinton on the hook, because she runs the Department of State.
How are Bill and Hillary dealing with this sellout? Not well, according to bestselling author Ed Klein.
As Benghazi blame nears Hillary, Clintons grow furious
With tensions between President Obama and the Clintons at a new high, former President Bill Clinton is moving fast to develop a contingency plan for how his wife, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, should react if Obama attempts to tie the Benghazi fiasco around her neck, according to author Ed Klein...
...sources close to the Clintons tell him that Bill Clinton has assembled an informal legal team to discuss how the Secretary of State should deal with the issue of being blamed for not preventing the Benghazi terrorist attack last month.
White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters during a press conference Friday that responsibility for the consulate in Libya fell on the State Department, not the White House...
If blame for the security failures falls to Hillary Clinton, Klein said, it’s possible that she would even consider resigning over the issue...
Klein also noted that the famously troubled Obama-Clinton relationship has "reached a new low" with Joe Biden's refusal to have Bill Clinton help guide the gaffe-master's debate strategy.

QOTD: "While the base probably found Joe’s performance exciting and emotionally honest, I suspect that millions of Americans did not appreciate that Joe made a mockery of a ritual performance that is meant to enhance the honor of the presidential office and to give voters an opportunity to compare the two parties. If people were actually comparing the two debaters, Ryan was an attractive, polite, stable, normal, well-informed young man. Joe was the bloviating, obnoxious drunk at the bar who had grabbed Ryan by his lapel and wouldn’t let go. You could practically see Ryan’s hair melt from the noxious odors wafting out from behind Joe’s peculiarly whitened dentures.
I do not know that I have ever before seen such a loathsome spectacle at the national level. In a sane world, the moderator would have reined him in. In a decent world, Joe would call a press conference tomorrow to apologize for his behavior. In the real world, the media will laud his energy, aggression, and mastery of the “facts.”
If this is what our political process has come too, we are in trouble. The Obama administration is damaging the very fabric of our democracy, and the drunk, crazy uncle they hauled out for the debate tonight is one of the weapons in their arsenal." --Bookworm

A. Security for the Libyan Ambassador
B. Chevy Volts for Berlin
If you answered B, you could replace Hillary Clinton!
In a May 3, 2012, email, the State Department denied a request by a group of Special Forces assigned to protect the U.S. embassy in Libya to continue their use of a DC- 3 airplane for security operations throughout the country.
The subject line of the email, on which slain Ambassador Chris Stevens was copied, read: “Termination of Tripoli DC-3 Support.”
Four days later, on May 7, the State Department authorized the U.S. embassy in Vienna to purchase a $108,000 electric vehicle charging station for the embassy motor pool’s new Chevrolet Volts.
Madness. Sheer madness.

CEO TO EMPLOYEES: If Obama Wins, You May Want to Get Some Boxes and Pack Up Your Offices
The CEO of Westgate Resorts emailed his employees on Monday and told them precisely what is going to happen if Barack Obama wins reelection and raises taxes on "the rich".
Oh. And one other thing. Is this America?
Word on the street has it that hundreds if not thousands of CEOs want to make similar statements, but are afraid of political retribution by the Obama machine.
Folks, Obama promised "fundamental transformation" in 2008 and he's making good on his promise. This country is being transformed into a Banana Republic.
Subject: Message from David Siegel
Date:Mon, 08 Oct 2012 13:58:05 -0400 (EDT)
From: [David Siegel]
To: [All employees]
To All My Valued Employees,
As most of you know our company, Westgate Resorts, has continued to succeed in spite of a very dismal economy. There is no question that the economy has changed for the worse and we have not seen any improvement over the past four years. In spite of all of the challenges we have faced, the good news is this: The economy doesn't currently pose a threat to your job.
What does threaten your job however, is another 4 years of the same Presidential administration. Of course, as your employer, I can't tell you whom to vote for, and I certainly wouldn't interfere with your right to vote for whomever you choose...
Now, the economy is falling apart and people like me who made all the right decisions and invested in themselves are being forced to bail out all the people who didn't. The people that overspent their paychecks suddenly feel entitled to the same luxuries that I earned and sacrificed 42 years of my life for. Yes, business ownership has its benefits, but the price I've paid is steep and not without wounds. Unfortunately, the costs of running a business have gotten out of control, and let me tell you why: We are being taxed to death and the government thinks we don't pay enough. We pay state taxes, federal taxes, property taxes, sales and use taxes, payroll taxes, workers compensation taxes and unemployment taxes. I even have to hire an entire department to manage all these taxes. The question I have is this: Who is really stimulating the economy? Is it the Government that wants to take money from those who have earned it and give it to those who have not, or is it people like me who built a company out of his garage and directly employs over 7000 people and hosts over 3 million people per year with a great vacation?
Obviously, our present government believes that taking my money is the right economic stimulus for this country. The fact is, if I deducted 50% of your paycheck you'd quit and you wouldn't work here. I mean, why should you? Who wants to get rewarded only 50% of their hard work? Well, that's what happens to me...
Business is at the heart of America and always has been. To restart it, you must stimulate business, not kill it. However, the power brokers in Washington believe redistributing wealth is the essential driver of the American economic engine. Nothing could be further from the truth and this is the type of change they want.
So where am I going with all this? It's quite simple. If any new taxes are levied on me, or my company, as our current President plans, I will have no choice but to reduce the size of this company. Rather than grow this company I will be forced to cut back. This means fewer jobs, less benefits and certainly less opportunity for everyone.
So, when you make your decision to vote, ask yourself, which candidate understands the economics of business ownership and who doesn't? Whose policies will endanger your job? Answer those questions and you should know who might be the one capable of protecting and saving your job. While the media wants to tell you to believe the "1 percenters" are bad, I'm telling you they are not. They create most of the jobs. If you lose your job, it won't be at the hands of the "1%"; it will be at the hands of a political hurricane that swept through this country.
You see, I can no longer support a system that penalizes the productive and gives to the unproductive. My motivation to work and to provide jobs will be destroyed, and with it, so will your opportunities. If that happens, you can find me in the Caribbean sitting on the beach, under a palm tree, retired, and with no employees to worry about.
Signed, your boss,
David Siegel

JACK WELCH DOUBLES DOWN: Yes, the Unemployment Rate is Bogus and Here's Why, Media-Schmucks
Actually, he didn't call them "media-schmucks", but I'm sure that was just an oversight on his part:
Not to worry, Jack. Nate Silver's mathemalogical models predicted this improvement in the labor market.
Can't you just smell all of the jobs being created?
Even if the BLS had a perfect process, the context surrounding the 7.8% figure still bears serious skepticism. Consider the following:
In August, the labor-force participation rate in the U.S. dropped to 63.5%, the lowest since September 1981. By definition, fewer people in the workforce leads to better unemployment numbers. That's why the unemployment rate dropped to 8.1% in August from 8.3% in July.
Meanwhile, we're told in the BLS report that in the months of August and September, federal, state and local governments added 602,000 workers to their payrolls, the largest two-month increase in more than 20 years. And the BLS tells us that, overall, 873,000 workers were added in September, the largest one-month increase since 1983, during the booming Reagan recovery.
These three statistics—the labor-force participation rate, the growth in government workers, and overall job growth, all multidecade records achieved over the past two months—have to raise some eyebrows. There were no economists, liberal or conservative, predicting that unemployment in September would drop below 8%.
Not to worry, Jack. Nate Silver's mathemalogical models predicted this improvement in the labor market.
Can't you just smell all of the jobs being created?
BUMPER STICKER O' THE DAY: Counter-Revolution
Ame sent this one in:
That outlook is a tad defeatist if you ask me. We still have a little bit of time to stop the Left's Counter-Revolution. We have four weeks to do everything in our power to crush the corrupt, craven, and criminal Democrat Machine at the ballot box.
It's time for them to go back to wherever the hell it is they came from. Chicago and San Francisco and Manhattan and points in between. Smash them at the ballot box -- at every level of government -- and teach them a lesson they'll never forget: Socialists and Communists aren't welcome in a Constitutional Republic.

QOTD: "The Independent Payment Advisory Board perfectly illustrates liberalism’s itch to remove choices from individuals, and from their elected representatives, and to repose the power to choose in supposed experts liberated from democratic accountability. Beginning in 2014, IPAB would consist of 15 unelected technocrats whose recommendations for reducing Medicare costs must be enacted by Congress by Aug. 15 of each year. If Congress does not enact them, or other measures achieving the same level of cost containment, IPAB’s proposals automatically are transformed from recommendations into law. Without being approved by Congress. Without being signed by the president.
These facts refute Obama’s Denver assurance that IPAB “can’t make decisions about what treatments are given.” It can and will by controlling payments to doctors and hospitals. Hence the emptiness of Obamacare’s language that IPAB’s proposals “shall not include any recommendation to ration health care.”
By Obamacare’s terms, Congress can repeal IPAB only during a seven-month window in 2017, and then only by three-fifths majorities in both chambers. After that, the law precludes Congress from everaltering IPAB proposals.
Because IPAB effectively makes law, thereby traducing the separation of powers, and entrenches IPAB in a manner that derogates the powers of future Congresses, it has been well described by a Cato Institute study as “the most anti-constitutional measure ever to pass Congress.” But unless and until the Supreme Court — an unreliable guardian — overturns it, IPAB is a harbinger of the “shock and awe statism” (Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels’s phrase) that is liberalism’s prescription for curing the problems supposedly caused by insufficient statism." --George Will

REPARTEE: Obama promises that, in the next debate, he'll think of clever digs twice as fast and won't be nearly as genteel
Which you can translate to, in the next debate, the president promises to be more petulant, more annoying, and even more flexible with the facts than usual:
Which makes me think that the next logical step in the process is for the Obama administration to create a knock-off version of Big Bird (to avoid the trademark infringement). Call him "Charles the Chicken". And Charles does an ad saying:
...the exact line from the ABC article was “President Obama says he was “just too polite” and that voters should expect “a little more activity” next week in round two.” How is this funny?
...Exactly what is Obama going to say that’s impolite and not already used? So far, the campaign (usually through their surrogates) has personally attacked Mitt Romney’s religion, upbringing, wife, children, business history, political history, affiliations, mannerisms, and habits; they have accused him of committing felonies, belittled his beliefs, and suggested that – I cannot believe that I have to write this – Mitt Romney gave someone cancer. What do they have left?
Yeah, I know: Big Bird.
Which makes me think that the next logical step in the process is for the Obama administration to create a knock-off version of Big Bird (to avoid the trademark infringement). Call him "Charles the Chicken". And Charles does an ad saying:
Mitt Romney hates puppets. He hates my pal Big Bird. He hates television. And he hates children.
We also know he hates women.
What kind of person hates women and children?
And why won't Mitt Romney show us his tax returns from 1991? What is he hiding? Is he a felon?
And how did Mitt Romney get away with killing Joe Soptic's wife?
The American people deserve answers. The American people deserve better than Mitt Romney. The American people deserve a president who loves women and children and presidents who don't have any college transcripts available.

Don't do the happy dance yet, but this appears to be a promising development.
That said, The New York Times'spinmeister pollster Nate Silver still has President Obama up in Virginia by a margin of six-hundred-teen percent; in North Carolina by eleventy; and in Florida by 7.389062145 (with a margin of error of 3/1000th of a binnacle).
As an aside, I tried to reach Taegan Goddard, Paul Krugman and Sandra Bernard (sic) for comment, but I kept getting voicemail.
Take nothing for granted, my friends. All of us -- myself included -- must redouble our efforts. To repeal Obamacare, we must take the Presidency, we must take the Senate and we must hold the House. Every one of our votes counts, in every state. Let's get crackin'.
Suffolk Calls NC, VA, FL For Romney, Will No Longer Poll States
Suffolk University pollster David Paleologos, whose polls are aggregated into mainstream averages to show where the presidential race stands in the swing states, said he’s finished polling in Florida, North Carolina and Virginia because President Obama has no shot of winning those states.
“I think in places like North Carolina, Virginia and Florida, we’ve already painted those red, we’re not polling any of those states again,” Paleologos said Tuesday night on Fox’s “The O’Reilly Factor.” “We’re focusing on the remaining states.”
Mitt Romney has spiked in the national polls since his first debate last week against President Obama. Romney took the lead over Obama nationally for the first time all year on Tuesday, according to the RealClearPolitics average of polls, although statistically the two are tied. Romney’s advantage is less than 1 percentage point.
The race has also tightened in the 12 swing states — Florida, North Carolina and Virginia among them — that President Bush won in 2004 but Obama won in 2008, and which will be critical in determining the outcome of the election.

FROM THE PEOPLE WHO BROUGHT YOU ACORN: High-Level Obama Staffers Caught Abetting Vote Fraud
The Democrat Party -- and the Obama administration in particular -- is attempting to overwhelm the system with an epidemic of vote fraud schemes. From the people who brought you voter registration and absentee ballot fraud through ACORN; a Justice Department that attacks voter ID and the integrity of the ballot box; and the New Black Panthers intimidating voters at the polls comes a brand new threat:
O'Keefe also punked the media in his report, saying this incident "wasn’t the only exchange we recorded".
Actually, that would have been a nice little trap to set for Axelrod and his henchmen in the media. Let them claim it was an "isolated incident" and then slam the door on their fingers with proof that OFA's crimes are widespread, systemic and -- perhaps -- encouraged by the very highest levels within the White House.
Videographer James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas caught an official for President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign helping who she thought was an Obama supporter set herself up to vote more than once in November.
Stephanie Caballero is the regional field director for Obama’s Organizing For America in Houston, Texas. Federal Election Commission documents show, according to Project Veritas, that Caballero is a “salaried employee of the DNC [Democratic National Committee].”
Caballero is caught on camera helping the young woman try to vote in Florida and Texas in the upcoming election... Caballero ... offers the videographer an excuse to get out of trouble is she gets caught committing voter fraud: “Come up with like if anyone checks say ‘I don’t know.’”
O'Keefe also punked the media in his report, saying this incident "wasn’t the only exchange we recorded".
“We visited Organizing For America voter registration tables around New York and Organizing For America headquarters around the country,” he said... The video then cuts to a montage of different clips of Obama campaign volunteers and staffers all over the country helping O’Keefe’s Project Veritas activists get set up to vote twice, a sign there’s likely more to come.
The video ends with a challenge for the media: “Put your reputation on the line, journalists. Say this is an ‘isolated incident.’”

STUNNING: Tax Foundation Reports That Blue States Are the Most Unfriendly to Businesses
The Tax Foundation has published its 2013 edition of the State Business Tax Climate Index.
Can you guess which states are most unfriendly to businesses?
If you guessed "blue states", take a gold star and go to the head of the class. Nine of the 10 states are run by Democrat bureaucracies.

THE GREAT OBAMAPHONE SCANDAL: Another Fraudulent Program That "Is Completely Out of Control"
I gleaned some interesting news from this Fox News Baltimore report that appears relevant to our ongoing discussion of the debt, personal responsibility, and Joe Biden's mullet:
• Vans are driving around Baltimore offering free "Obamaphones", which you -- the beleaguered taxpayer -- are funding
• The phone program is, in the words of the report, "completely out of control, not just here in Baltimore, but all over the country"
• Baltimore resident Monique Crawford says that she has "30 phones, and all of them are [turned] on"
• She was able to get each one in "five, ten minutes."
• Private, prepaid cellphone companies are giving away phones to people in Baltimore and dozens of other cities... all paid for by you.
• In Baltimore, the number of Obamaphone subscribers has ballooned from 6,000 in 2008 to 231,000 in 2011
• Some residents just stand in line for phones, and then sell them to drug dealers
Buried in each of our monthly cellphone bills is line-item called a "universal access fee", which is helping to fund this insanity.
Isn't a giant, bloated, corrupt and unaccountable federal bureaucracy grand?
This administration needs to go.

QOTD: "President Barack Obama did not take his debate preparation seriously, ignored the advice of senior aides and walked off the stage in Denver believing he had got the better of Mitt Romney, according to a Democrat close to the Obama campaign.
The Democrat said that Obama’s inner circle was dismayed at the ‘disaster’ that the first presidential debate had turned out to be and believed that the central problem was that the President was so disdainful of Romney that he didn’t believe he needed to engage with him.
‘President Obama made it clear he wanted to be doing anything else – anything – but debate prep,’ the Democrat said. ‘He kept breaking off whenever he got the opportunity and never really focused on the event" --Bryan Preston

HMMMMMMMMM: 47 Percent.
Spotted on Teri's Twitter feed (@SoCalGirl):
CBS has the latest Gallup poll data, but suffice it to say that Nate Silver's latest models show a more troubling trend for Romney:
Silver's models also predicted with a high degree of accuracy that I will be eating at Arby's tomorrow.

Adding this "spillover" effect into the mix, Obama leads comfortably in Michigan, 165% to Romney's -65%. Similar trends appear in IA.

FEEDING AT THE TROUGH: Businesses Tied to Claire McCaskill's Husband Received $40 Million in Fed Subsidies
Please: try and contain your shock.
So let me get this straight. During McCaskill's time in office, her husband received payments of between $400,000 and $2.6 million from the businesses subsidized in great part by her votes.
But "none of that money made it into the family's personal bank accounts".
That seems plausible, if you're a Democrat in the mold of Dodd, Frank, Rangel, Pelosi, Feinstein, Waters, Mollohan, etc. etc. etc.
At face value, these people appear so crooked you could open up wine bottles with 'em.
Hat tip: Brian and BadBlue News.
Businesses affiliated with the husband of Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill have received almost $40 million in federal subsidies for low-income housing developments during her first five years in office, but McCaskill's campaign said Tuesday that none of that money made it into the family's personal bank accounts.
McCaskill's Republican challenger, Rep. Todd Akin, says the federal payments should be a cause for concern among voters. He's attempting to portray the Democratic senator's family as a prime beneficiary of government largesse.
"There is a conflict of interest and a breach of trust with the citizens of our state," Akin said in an interview with The Associated Press.
...The AP reviewed five years' worth of federal personal financial disclosure statements filed by McCaskill, which list more than 300 "affordable housing" businesses in which her husband, Joseph Shepard, had at least a partial ownership during the time she has been in office. At least one-third of those businesses also appear to be listed as recipients of federal payments in an online government database that tracks spending.
The firms affiliated with Shepard appear to have received about $39 million from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Housing Service or the Department of Housing and Urban Development between 2007 - when McCaskill took office - and the end of 2011. According to McCaskill's financial reports, Shepard earned an income of between about $400,000 and $2.6 million from those businesses in the years in which they received government payments...
