Politics

I'm sick of all the campaign ads, but I have to say that ads from outside groups are significantly more effective than ads from the campaigns. This makes perfect sense because there's a lot more people in the outside groups. More people means better ideas, and it's translating to the election process.

30,000 show up to Romney event in West Chester.

Local auto workers who lost their pensions thanks to Obama's auto bailout follow him to Springfield to counter his claims that the bailout was a success for Ohio.

Talk about a crappy headline:

"Romney, Obama spar over 'revenge' comment as race nears finish line"

The headline doesn't let you know who made the revenge comment. It was Obama. He's encouraging voters to take revenge by voting. Once again Obama's angry and extremely divisive nature comes out in an unscripted moment, but the press is covering up for him. This comment also exposed the coercive nature of the vote.

Washington Times runs an article in which the author says both Obama and Romney should be disqualified from office because of their support for assassinating Americans.

"At any previous time in American history, a summary execution by the executive without due process would have been considered cold blooded murder and an act of tyranny. Yet, it has happened in the light of day and neither the political class nor the citizenry has batted an eye."

So true. So sad.

Argument that the Constitution created the US empire. Since it went into effect when only nine states ratified it, the other states ratifying it after have been drawn into the union without having ratified it, I would agree. The very first Congress began arrogating power to the central government and set the stage all the government oppression we suffer from today.

"Right off the bat, in its very first session, Congress therefore tried to do something it was not empowered to do (if you'll allow for the moment that, contrary to Spooner, the Constitution actually empowered anyone to do anything). In so doing, Congress demonstrated its disdain for the fences placed around it by Articles Two and Five. Very clearly, government today acknowledges no limits on its power; the 1789 Judiciary Act made it plain that Congress never did acknowledge such limits, even in its very first session."

The history of government ignoring constitutional limits is as old as the Constitution itself.
