<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">"This represents the first year that Pinterest, now the 3rd largest
social media network, has been around during a presidential election
cycle," noted Apu Gupta, the CEO and co-founder of Curalate. "Pinterest
provides us an opportunity to see how people engage with candidates and
their spouses in a more emotional and visual way. This really is about
humanizing the candidates and the spouses and finding content that
enables people to form a more emotional connection to the candidates and
their spouses." </span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">More people view, comment on and like Ann
Romney's content than they do Michelle Obama's. That could be because
Ann Romney often shares and comments on her own images. Her most popular
images, according to Curalate, are recipes.</span></blockquote>
Her most popular pin so far is <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/112590059404200749/">banana bread</a>, but many Happy Halloween returns of the day with this candy corn cookie recipe, <a href="http://pinterest.com/annromney/recipes/">right up top</a>:)<br />

P.S. My friend Mary emails:<br />
<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> The Rocky & Bullwinkle Show had a "Fractured Fairy Tales" segment
where a novel spin would be put on an old tale. Reminds me of Team
Obama's take on the world. You can't believe what you hear and see,
only their re-telling of the story. "The economy is growing." "Fast
& Furious was a gun sales promotion." "Benghazi was a hostile movie
review." "Taxes do not impact personal income." "Business regulations
have no cost." "You can keep our own doctor with Obamacare." All,
Fractured Fairy Tales.</span></blockquote>

<i>The yet-to-be born are truly our most under- and unrepresented
citizens and taxpayers. <a href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/ct-oped-1030-byrne-20121030,0,5940671.column">The real test of compassion isn't just your level of caring for people who are close at hand but your concern for the invisible people whose suffering we can only imagine and who have no choices about the world in which they find will themselves.</a></i> </blockquote>
<blockquote>
<i>We
already can glimpse the future. Just the payment of interest on our
already crushing debt has robbed the struggling and impoverished of
countless billions of needed help. In Illinois, our debt has cut
dramatically into medical and other kinds of assistance so important to
the desperate.</i> </blockquote>
<blockquote>
<i>This isn't just an issue for the presidential
election. In Illinois, ungodly unpaid obligations were rung up as if we
didn't care about the burdens that would befall our children — just as
long as "we" (meaning public employees) were not just comfortable in old
age but prosperous beyond the lifestyle of struggling taxpayers.</i> </blockquote>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So much for finding favor with the hometown crowd. </span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">President Obama managed to gain an endorsement from the Chicago
Teachers Union last week, but it took some quick maneuvering by the
union’s executive committee to make it happen, <a href="http://eagnews.org/chicago-teachers-union-rank-and-file-reps-refuse-to-endorse-obama/">EAGnews.org</a> found. </span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It seems the union’s House of Delegates (about 800 delegates
representing rank-and-file members) failed to act on the recommended
endorsement, expressing a preference to sit this election out. But the
union leadership came through for its old friend Obama, rejecting the
advice of the people who pay the dues and the bills.</span></blockquote>

What's worried me about Obama these days is that his appeasement will take us from the chaos of leading behind in the Arab Spring to a terror-state nuclear Iran.<br />
<br />
It's much the same worry I had with Jimmy Carter, that he bowed and bowed before dictators and threats all the while gutting our military, that we might only be left with a nuclear button ourselves.<br />

befell other people. And as luck would have it, he was able to defeat

unique coalition.</span></span></blockquote>
Given his busted promises on jobs and the economy, given <a href="http://www.weeklystandard.com/articles/minigolfer_655087.html">his bleak lack of vision</a>:<br />
<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The party of progress in a liberal democracy is the party of growth.
Economic growth would reduce joblessness, increase take-home pay,
generate additional revenue for the Treasury, improve the condition of

decline. Growth would act as a salve on our acrimonious, polarized, and
bitter politics.</span> </blockquote>
<blockquote>

And given his handling of Benghazi, <a href="http://spectator.org/archives/2012/10/24/the-liar-president">these sentiments</a> have to be the norm now:<br />
<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I
don't want to call the President a liar. I have used the term
"Calculated Deception" many times before to describe it. But now it
has come to the point where history will remember him as "the Liar
President." That is not my fault. I am only discussing reality.</span></blockquote>

Can we get a president who deals with the world as it is? Who is responsible for his actions and his country? Who puts our security first, not his political survival? Who can stare down our <i>enemies,</i> enlist and back our allies to employ sanctions with real bite on rogue states and, if it makes sense, negotiate from a position of <i>strength</i>.<br />
<br />
Peace through strength is an enduring message.<br />
<br />
And the hope again for jobs and prosperity at home a beacon.<br />

Mitt Romney, in this series, showed a depth and grasp of the issues we've been worried sick about in this country for the last 4 Obamanable years--and decisively showed us the way forward.<br />
<br />
While Obama as president may have maintained relationships and paid lip service to policies of previous administrations, it's been clear from the get-go that he had could barely spare the time of day for the UK, Poland, and Israel, to cite just a few. He embarked on his apology tours around the world, bowing indiscriminately. He has neglected, delayed, undermined, and ultimately left our troops overseas twisting in the wind by telegraphing a date of withdrawal. Why would anyone trust us with their future if they know we're abandoning them.<br />
<br />
Then there is the matter of our dead ambassador, and 3 other brave Americans, left to die in Libya, I imagine because the president just did not want to deal with the realities on the ground. He is the commander in chief and he failed and betrayed them.<br />
<br />
Preezie O was true to form in the debate--petty, <a href="http://www.therightscoop.com/obama-wins-the-award-for-the-most-patronizing-line-of-the-night/">sarcastic, ignorant</a> and feckless. There will be more questions on Libya, the lies are unraveling.<br />
<br />
Governor Romney assumed the mantle of president last night. He spoke with knowledge and assurance--giving confidence to our allies, and the American people. <a href="http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/10/22/mitt_romney_slams_obamas_apology_essential_for_a_president_to_show_strength.html">"America has not dictated to other nations. We have freed other nations from dictators" </a><br />
<br />
There will be no apologies from President Romney.<br />
<br />
And we won't lead from behind, we will lead.<br />
<br />
Romney said we can't kill our way out of this mess. And we can't spend our way out of the mess at home. Mitt again spoke of the 23 million Americans who look in the mirror every day and feel despair that they have no job.<br />
<br />
We're closer to the November vote, and to the January day when Americans will join together again to build a better future. We can do this.<br />
<br />
P.S. <a href="http://spectator.org/archives/2012/10/23/a-question-not-asked">A Question Not Asked</a> <i>Is the administration again preparing to transfer Guantanamo prisoners to an Illinois facility?</i><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="hP" id=":142">A brighter future</span></span></h1>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Last night was the last debate before the election, and the President failed once again to outline his plan for a second term.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">With
23 million people struggling for work, and nearly one in six Americans
living in poverty, we can't afford to give President Obama another
chance to get it right.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I am running for president to help
create a better future. Our plan to undo the damage of the last four
years includes strengthening the middle class with 12 million jobs, and
ensuring more take-home pay and better opportunities for all Americans.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Our
supporters have joined our cause and transformed this campaign into a
nationwide movement. Over 119,000 volunteers have made nearly 45 million
volunteer voter contacts since Victory launched this year, including
over 9 million door-to-door voter contacts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">If I am elected
President of the United States, I will work with all my heart to restore
strength to America. Our children deserve it, our nation depends upon
it, and the peace and freedom of the world require it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">And with your help, we will deliver that brighter future.</span></blockquote>

<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Earlier this month in the first presidential debate, Mitt Romney made an unusual argument by modern political standards: that long-term deficit spending is not just an economic issue, but a moral one. "I think it's . . . not moral for my generation to keep spending massively more than we take in, knowing those burdens are going to be passed on to the next generation."</span> </blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This is a notable occurrence, not just because Romney is frequently chided for being cool and detached, but because it represents a return to something our founders knew but succeeding generations have forgotten: Limited government and individual liberty aren't merely policy alternatives. They're moral imperatives.</span></blockquote>

So let me ask you Tammy, do you weep for Tonya Reaves.<br />

<br />
Do you weep for her? She was only 24.<br />
<br />
Life is a gift.<br />
<br />
...Didn't I hear you say something like that somewhere in the debate, Ms. Duckworth. <br />
<br />
In the 70's Roe v Wade froze debate in the states over abortion, where issues of medical ethics, life and medicine evolved as the <a href="http://www.prolifephysicians.org/">Hippocratic Oath</a> and democratic process dealt with it. If it's ever repealed, it will only go back to the states to decide--as it should.<br />
<br />
Now we have outbursts like this from those who want to represent us in Congress. Where <i>civilized debate</i> should be the order of the day.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXR3C8HiwwYRjceEX_eYV7-RYU18eqkyAgTsdY2aFJuJ4zZU8CoVIxaYTd9uiv3vUihLkg0n86Baf2OwMSzTLiJmyDjZjNwy4mHY-hvxHrrEIiWSCn8qqtdA4INNM2u0cAx4y6yg/s1600/nrbaby25.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXR3C8HiwwYRjceEX_eYV7-RYU18eqkyAgTsdY2aFJuJ4zZU8CoVIxaYTd9uiv3vUihLkg0n86Baf2OwMSzTLiJmyDjZjNwy4mHY-hvxHrrEIiWSCn8qqtdA4INNM2u0cAx4y6yg/s1600/nrbaby25.jpg" /></a>And let me ask you this too, Tammy, since you believe it's OK for women to be able to have abortions up to the moment of birth--and that we should pay for it--when cameras now can look at babies in the womb and <a href="http://backyardconservative.blogspot.com/2007/12/life-wins-out.html">they can be saved as preemies</a> months before they would naturally be born, <i>how can you deny that <a href="http://backyardconservative.blogspot.com/2008/07/abortion-is-barbaric.html">abortion is barbaric </a>used as birth control.</i><br />
<br />
Most doctors do not consider ectopic pregnancies abortions, and yes, <a href="http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/11/experts-abortion-not-medically-necessary-to-save-the-life-of-a-mother/">late term abortions are never medically necessary</a>. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-new-firestorm-joe-walsh-comments-abortion-todd-akin-20121019,0,127789.story">And where is the media on this</a>? Do we see coverage of Duckworth's, to many of us, extreme position?<br />
<br />
How can you deny that taking of an innocent life.<br />
<br />
And do you weep for Tonya Reaves<br />
<br />
P.S. More from a friend: <br />
<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">What is "extreme" on the abortion issue?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Advocating the legality
of all abortions, at any time, for any reason, right up to and including
the moment of birth (a.k.a. partial-birth abortions).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Advocating the
legality of "after-the-fact" abortions.. that is, the killing of a
child after being born alive due to a botched abortion.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Mandating that taxpayers fund abortions and abortion-causing drugs (such as RU-486).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Mandating
that all participants in insurance pools, including even employees of
schools and charities that oppose abortion, must provide insurance
programs that cover abortion.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">All these are tenets of the Democratic Party in the era of Barack Obama and Tammy Duckworth.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">They're the extremists.</span></blockquote>

Equal pay is a canard anyway, and has been for over 20 years.

The next generation, Millennial women, are concerned about jobs, jobs, and more jobs. Because too many of them are unemployed: <a href="http://freebeacon.com/winning-the-war-for-women/">New survey shows young female voters support GOP economic priorities</a> And their moms and grandmas may have jobs but they're worried about the future for their families. For their husbands, their daughters and their sons.<br />
<br />
They may not be able to retire themselves, they may be the breadwinners holding one or two generations together.<br />
<br />
Flextime is especially important to women, but <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304444604577341880068700476.html">Obama and his union cronies oppose it</a>, so it gets shoved aside--Dems take women for granted:<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Exhibit A is a progressive tax code and the penalty it imposes on
earning marginal, or additional, income. Most married women are second
earners. That means their income is added to that of their husband's and
thus often taxed at a high marginal rate. This "marriage penalty" has
never fully been adjusted for in the tax code. A married woman working
on an assembly line keeps less of her paycheck than the unwed man who
does the same job. That's real inequality in pay for women.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">You won't hear Democrats admitting this punitive tax
burden—particularly when combined with child-care costs—is a reason many
women can't afford to work, even if they wish to. And the expiration of
the Bush tax cuts would compound this problem. To the extent Mr. Romney
is offering a flatter tax code, with lower marginal rates, he is
offering millions of women greater choice and a shot at more economic
freedom.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Mr. Romney might note the damage done to women by antiquated but
still operative labor law, such as a provision in the 1938 Fair Labor
Standards Act that requires hourly workers who put in more than 40 hours
a week to get overtime. While some women like overtime, a 1990s poll
found that 81% said they'd rather pack more hours into fewer days and
receive compensatory time off. The phrase for this is "flex time," an
invaluable option for many mothers attempting to juggle work and family.
Not in this Democratic war.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=20979630" name="U603864677327D0C"></a>Mr. Obama's union allies resolutely
oppose any reform of the 40-hour law, because the status quo gives union
leaders more control over crafting work arrangements.</span></blockquote>

P.S. <a href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/ct-met-cta-mileage-report-1018-20121018,0,904750.story">Chicago Tribune</a>: <br />
<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The CTA has potentially inflated by up to $150 million the federal
taxpayer money it received since as far back as 1982 by "fraudulently
over-reporting" the number of miles CTA buses travel while in service,
according to a new report by a little-known watchdog group. [snip]</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">But Cause of Action, which said it based its findings on "insider
audit information" from six years ago, said the CTA likely continues to
get away with its inaccurate mileage reporting, with the knowledge of
the U.S. government, because of the transit agency's political
connections stretching from Chicago to Washington.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It cited the
clout of Valerie Jarrett, who is senior adviser to President Barack
Obama and also a former chairwoman of the CTA (1995 to 2003), and Robert

Mean. And is everything partisan to this guy?
<iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/PCtemaHgjyA" width="560"></iframe><br />
And all his interrupting and shouting put me off. I don't think that went over well with most women watching, unless they were already in his corner.<br />
<br />
On Libya, Ryan exposed the administration's dissembling for weeks, while Biden continued to deny, deny what they knew or blame the intel community. That was the strongest emotional moment in the debate and it reminded me again how angry and sad I still am over Benghazi and the loss of 4 brave Americans.<br />
<br />
On the economy, Ryan went through the litany of Obama failed promises, and laid out the misery of the country right now, making the case for reform to save entitlements.<br />
<br />
Finally, you know Obama buddy moderator Martha Raddatz hoped to trap Ryan on abortion as a closer question. Ryan appealed to reason on the issue of life, and to liberty with the ObamaCare threat to religious freedom--one of our founding principles.<br />
<br />
And <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/chris-wallace-joe-biden-debate-reaction-smiling-smirking-laughing-2012-10?utm_source=twbutton&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=politics">despite being interrupted</a> 10-1, Paul Ryan was gracious in his final statement, thanking the Vice President for joining him in the debate. <br />
