FUDGES REPORT ON PELOSI EFFORT TO FLIP OBAMACARE VOTES
"In other words, AP counts some Dems as potential switchers simply because they didn’t bother to respond.
And others are counted because they refused to state a position, probably fearing they would be misquoted."

Student apologizes for noose in UC San Diego library - latimes.com
Minority student apologizes for noose in UC San Diego library
"In a letter published Monday on the front page of the UC San Diego student newspaper, the Guardian, the student wrote that the incident was 'a mindless act and stupid mistake' and was not meant to recall the lynching of blacks.
'As a minority student who sympathizes with the students that have been affected by the recent issues on campus, I am distraught to know that I have unintentionally added to their pain,' the student wrote."
Oh!
She's a "minority".
Never mind.....
Yes, we have two Americas...
How sad.

Maryland's Pension Tsunami
Maryland's Pension Tsunami
"The Pew Center on the States released earlier this week 'The Trillion Dollar Gap: Underfunded State Retirement Systems and the Roads to Reform.'
It should have been called 'The Road to Serfdom' like the Hayek classic.
According to the report, Maryland's 'management of its long-term pension liability is cause for serious concern.'
It shows that Maryland's liabilities grew 77 percent from 1999 to 2008 while assets only grew 43 percent, a recipe for MUCH higher taxes."

"It's rumored that during the Olympics, when a curling match carried over into Keith Olbermann's time slot, ratings plunged when the curling ended and Olbermann came on.
Well, that makes sense.
I'd rather watch curling than Olbermann.
But then, I'd rather get a root canal than watch Olbermann, too."

Young voters increasingly identify with conservative politics
Young voters increasingly identify with conservative politics
"A recent Pew Research Center report said 40 percent of voters ages 18 to 28 lean Republican, up from 30 percent last year.
Fifty-four percent of those voters said they lean Democratic, down from 62 percent last year."
Very interesting article.
Note that young folks lean more with conservative politics than with republican politicians.
The GOPers need a real plan to connect with these young voters at the grass roots level.
They have NO plan yet.

"Then, ABC News reported that its Consumer Comfort Index plunged to the minus-50 mark and now hovers just four points from its record low.
The Conference Board survey is particularly interesting because it's broken up into two components.
The 'Present Situation Index' -- meaning, how's your life today? -- dropped nearly six points to 19.4.
But the 'Expectations Index' of how those surveyed believe the economy will be six months from now declined a whopping 13.5 points.
Holy crisis!
Even with the stock market still bubbling and media trying its damnedest to convince us at least a million times a day that there's an economic recovery, the American public isn't buying it.
Worse, we've become a clinically depressed nation that doesn't think the situation will ever get better.
OK, so what's really going on?
Well, this is what you get when the government lies to people and when those in elected office believe their own fibs."

A gas tax to cure global warming? Compromise looks to revive stalled plan
Sens. John Kerry, D-Mass., Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., .....would instead go after power plants, motor vehicles and manufacturers with targeted taxes and caps.
So.
RINO Lindsey Graham believes AlGore is right about global warming and we need more taxes in our country.
Wake up SC conservatives!
