Willow Hay
The Busy Bunny ®
The newly designed free-standing Hay Rack is a natural, edible
basket made of peeled willow. It has a flat base so that it can
stand on its own, but also can be attached to the side of a cage
using raffia or untreated twine by feeding the twine through the
willow slats. The basket measures approximately 9.5 Lx 5 W x
3.5 inches height in front with a 6.5 inch high back
Great Hay Storage Item
From Sara Forkey of Williamsburg, Virginia on 5/15/2016.
I bought this in hopes that it would hold the small hay bale that I purchased and the buns love it! I have two messy eaters and this item is perfect when I need to vacuum the carpet....just pick it up and go! An added bonus is that the bunnies can consume the basket because it is all natural! I will . . .
willow hay basket
From Leigh Price of Marshall, Texas on 5/2/2016.
It must have tasted pretty good, Blossom ate the hay and the basket in a 24 hour time frame!!
From Anonymous of Arlington, Washington on 4/15/2016.
It was a little smaller than it appeared (I should have paid more attention). But, it is small enough to keep my bunnies from jumping in, which was a goal.
Great for hay
From Emily Emerton of Rochester hills, Michigan on 4/12/2016.
I fill this up with hay and my bun gets more hay than from a hay hopper. Plus when she gets bored, she can eat the basket too.
Mochie & Binky Love It!
From Brian Ray of Oliver Springs, Tennessee on 3/24/2016.
This hay rack is a very nice addition to their condo. It sits next to the litterbox (most of the time)! They sit in box and eat their hay.... and then chew on the hay rack for awhile. It is sturdy sits flat, and well made. I will buy another one when this one wears out. I would recommend this product. . . .
my bunnies love it!
From Anonymous of bedford, Texas on 2/1/2016.
there is no wasted hay when using this product.
Great Product!
From Amanda Sexton of Clover, South Carolina on 1/30/2016.
Love this product! I have tried hay mangers and boxes before and my picky bunny didn't like any of them and wouldn't eat her hay out of them. I took a little twine and tied it to the cage so she couldn't flip it over and it works perfect.
Functional and tasty
From Anonymous of Fullerton, California on 1/17/2016.
This basket was a great size and held a good amount of hay. My bunnies absolutely loved the basket, so much that they chewed the whole thing up in two days time. Definitely recommend this product and will be purchasing again!

Five new parties prepare for verification process
Bagus BT Saragih
The Jakarta Post
Five new political parties that have completed the administrative requirements are gearing up to face the government's fact-checking process on the parties' resources in the regions, the last part of the verification to determine their eligibility to contest the upcoming 2014 polls.
The five parties, namely the National Archipelago Prosperity Party (PKBN), the Nasdem Party, the Functional Republic Party (Pakar), the Union of Independent People's Party (SRI) and the Independent Party, are subject to the Law and Human Rights Ministry's upcoming fact-checking process that commences this week, according to the ministry's state administration director Asyarie Syihabudin.
Another nine new political parties, which had also filed applications with the ministry, will not be subject to the process because the parties left their administrative documents incomplete despite the ministry's call for additional document submission.
"The results of the fact-checking process will be announced by Law and Human Rights Minister Patrialis Akbar by the end of October," Asyarie told The Jakarta Post on Monday.
During the process, ministry officials will be deployed to see if the parties' local branches really exist and if the offices have obtained permission from local authorities. The ministry will also look at the organizational structure of each party, down to its local branches.
Asyarie said he did not know why the nine parties had succumbed and ignored the ministry's call for document completion.
Many have complained about the 2011 Political Parties Law, which they say has set difficult requirements such as the obligation to have branch offices in all of the country's 33 provinces, 75 percent of the cities and regencies in each province and 50 percent of the districts in each city and regency.
In June, members and supporters of the SRI Party, which supports former finance minister Sri Mulyani
Indrawati for president, filed a judicial review with the Constitutional Court to challenge the law, which they said violated civic rights to form a political party as mandated by the Constitution.
One of the petitioners, SRI Party chairman Damianus Taufan, said during the review that only rich citizens could form political parties since the obligation to establish so many local branches would cost
billions of rupiah.
In their press statement, the petitioners said it would cost at least Rp 200 million (US$22,000) just to buy seals for official documents. With the country's 497 cities and regencies as well as about 6,300 districts, it would cost an additional Rp 7.04 billion for rent, assuming a small office cost Rp 2 million in annual rent.
Last month, the court turned down the plaintiff's request, saying the branch requirements were normal. Damianus, however, said he was still optimistic that his party would pass the government's fact-checking process.
"We actually didn't have enough money to establish local branches, but supporters were eager to donate private funds," he said, adding that the party had spent about Rp 500 million ahead of the government's verification process.
Zanuba Arifah Chafsoh, better known as Yenny Wahid, the chairwoman of the PKBN, said she did not know how much money the party had spent to face government's verification.
"Most of our funds came from supporters. Thank God we have die-hard supporters. I cried after learning that our cadres in Papua had to sell their pigs to buy tickets to Papua's capital of Jayapura to deal with the administrative requirements needed to establish our party's local branches there," said the daughter of Indonesia's fourth president, Abdurrahman "Gus Dur" Wahid. Yenny said her party had so far established 444 regency and city branches as well as about 3,300 district offices.
Many PKBN members are former National Awakening Party (PKB) supporters.
Nasdem Party chairman Patrice Rio Capella, meanwhile, said that his party had been ready for the fact-checking process for weeks.
The Nasdem Party is linked to the National Democrats mass organization founded by media mogul Surya Paloh, a former chief patron of the Golkar Party.

Recently there has been a plethora of articles in the financial press, including SeekingAlpha, intimating the weakness of large integrated oil companies based on the last couple quarterly earnings reports. Most of the authors of such articles have a very short memory and obviously need a reality check. I'm happy to oblige.
Naturally companies like ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM), British Petroleum (NYSE:BP), ConocoPhilips (NYSE:COP), and Chevron (NYSE:CVX) reported lower earnings. After all, oil had dropped from $145/barrel to around $40/barrel and the price of natural gas has plummeted. Did anyone not expect earnings to be significantly lower? However, the question is not what earnings are today, but what will the oil company earnings be in future quarters next year and the year after?
Let's take a look at the history of world oil prices.
Click to enlarge
Obviously the price of a barrel of oil has been cut in half from the high of $145/barrel reached in 2009. After dipping below $40, oil is now trading over $70/barrel. People are talking about how cheap oil is only because they are looking at the 50% drop from the highs. However, they forget that a mere 5 years ago, oil was trading in the $30's and many economists were predicting the US economy would not survive $50/barrel oil. Now, here we are today with oil at $70/barrel and psychologically folks are thinking it's cheap. Whew - gasoline is only $2.50/gallon rather than $4.50! Well, oil is up over 100% the last 5 years. Meanwhile the US is going bankrupt enacting financial policies in a wrong-headed attempt to deal with a commodity based problem (oil).
Since oil has more than doubled over the last 5 years, and at one point was up nearly 500% ($30->$150), is it any surprise that the S&P500 is flat over the last decade? That index is actually negative when one takes into account dollar depreciation and inflation. At the same time, energy company investments are up over 10% annually during this S&P500 "lost decade". Imagine the performance of the S&P500 with the energy stocks removed from the index. It would be horrendous.
Was it any surprise to see the American automanufacturers struggle after oil went to $145/barrel considering they only make cars that run on gasoline? It's amazing that Americans and American policymakers are already forgetting $145/barrel and the role it played in the economic, fiscal, and US equity market debacle of the past year and from which we are still suffering.
The financial press is likewise being fooled and acting like energy companies are losing money. Yes their earnings are down, but they are still making money. Their net incomes are *positive*. Unlike the banks and insurance companies, the oil companies made money without any assistance from the US taxpayer. The latest quarterly earnings were positive despite oil dipping below $40/barrel and very low natural gas prices. Now oil is at $70/barrel and so earnings will therefore be trending higher from here.
Unlike US natural gas prices, oil prices are not down due to some new huge source of supply coming online. Oil prices are down simply because of demand destruction due to the worldwide financial crisis. Once worldwide government economic stimulus policies take hold and reflate the world economy, oil demand will come roaring back. Meanwhile, most energy companies have cut exploration and production budgets. Does anyone really believe oil prices will stay "low" much longer? Apparently some of these financial journalists do. I certainly do not.
US Energy Policy
Despite all the rhetoric from President Obama, US energy policy is still non-existent and what does exist is abysmal. Certainly we have some solar and wind initiatives, but they generate electricity - not gasoline, and America is hooked on gasoline as foreign oil fuels our transportation sector. "Cash-for-clunkers" is being touted as a great success, and I suppose from a short-term economic perspective the program has stimulated car and truck sales, which is a good thing. However, the cars and trucks being sold still run on gasoline. If one judges American energy policy by how much it reduces foreign oil imports, I give Obama's energy policies a D-. The US is still dependent on foreign oil imports for 60-70% of its consumption and there are no policies in place to significantly loosen the rope that continues to tighten around are necks.
Meanwhile, the US's best competitive advantage in the worldwide economy (it's abundant, clean and cheap natural gas supply combined with its 2.1 million mile natural gas pipeline grid) is being underutilitzed and ignored by US policymakers. US natural gas production is so high there is little spare capacity left to store additional reserves ahead of the winter heating season. Folks in states wise enough to support natural gas transportation are paying substantially less on a gallon equivalent basis than the nationwide $2.50/gallon gasoline price: in Oklahoma, the price of natural gas is $1.11 GGE; in Utah it's $0.96 GGE. Despite the fact that US produced natural gas prices are less than half of foreign imported oil derived gasoline, the US Congress and American people still don't seem to "get-it" that US produced natural gas is the solution to the economic, environmental, and national security problems facing our country. How can a country that is home to colleges and engineering schools like MIT, Stanford, CalTech, Georgia Tech, University of Illinois and Berkeley miss such an obvious policy? Answer: oil and coal lobbying money and a Congress that is bought and paid for.
Meanwhile, hope springs eternal with HR 1835, the so-called natural gas act. We can only pray this doesn't die a quiet death in the Senate, where so many good House resolutions end up in the trash can. Please contact your elected officials and ask them their position on HR 1835 - are they a co-sponsor? Do they support it? Let them know if they don't support this bill you will not be voting for them in the next election.
Environmental Misperceptions
"Environmentalists" continue to make the mistake of lumping natural gas into the fossil fuel camp along with oil and coal. Although natural gas is indeed a fossil fuel, there are indications that natural gas has non-biological origins as well. Read Robert Hefner's book "The Grand Energy Transition" for a detailed discussion of this topic. Regardless, so-called "environmentalists" continue to get it wrong: natural gas emits 50% less CO2 than does coal and has none of the toxic particulate remnants. Prudent energy and environmental policy would therefore be to use natural gas for electricity generation and shut down the coal plants. Natural gas is also much cleaner and cheaper than gasoline, so again, prudent economic, energy, and environmental policy would be to use natural gas in the transportation sector. However, most "environmentalists" oppose using natural gas simply because they lump it in as a "fossil fuel" and those are just "bad". Lacking other realistic alternatives in the short term, these "environmentalists" are therefore actually supporting continued burning of coal and gasoline (oil). Ironic isn't it? What we need is a realistic and pragmatic energy policy like this one.
Bottom line to the investor is this: the US is making NO significant progress in weaning itself off of foreign oil imports. In an era of peak oil, worldwide supply will not keep pace with worldwide demand once the world economy recovers. In addition, oil is priced in US dollars and the outlook for that currency, in my opinion, is weak. For these reasons, US investors should be investing in energy stocks - they are still very cheap for anyone with an horizon longer than a few quarters. My favorites energy investment recommendations continue to be BP, COP, CVX, XOM, Petrobras (NYSE:PBR), StatOil (NYSE:STO), Schlumberger (NYSE:SLB), and Transocean (NYSE:RIG). In the so-called "alternative" energy company space I like Fuel Systems Solutions (NASDAQ:FSYS) and Westport Innovations (NASDAQ:WPRT). I like these not because of US energy policy, but because foreign countries do "get it" and are making the transition to natural gas transportation. WPRT is reporting earnings this Thursday.
Disclosure: the author owns COP, PBR, SLB, STO, and WPRT.
Recently there has been a plethora of articles in the financial press, including SeekingAlpha, intimating the weakness of large integrated oil companies based on the last couple quarterly earnings reports. Most of the authors of such articles have a very short memory and obviously need a reality check. I'm happy to oblige.

Have you been receiving calls from an unknown number and you want to know who it is that keeps calling? There are several reverse lookup services that will allow you to plug in a number and find out who keeps calling you.
Many of these services do not work with cellphones.
Every provider offers different features and pricing options that will allow you to choose a service that best fits into your pricing and feature needs. More often than not, features will be available that tell you more about the caller, and some features may be unnecessary for your needs.
Let's take a look at the top reverse lookup services to determine which service is best.
AnyWho Reverse Lookup
AnyWho's service is basic and doesn't provide much information at all. When using the site, you'll find that you can only enter in phone numbers, and cell phone numbers are not currently allowed.
Interestingly, the site links its services directly to YP.com when you click find.
Sadly, neither site reported any viable information back during our testing. We tried several different numbers that should be listed, including businesses, and found that YP.com returned the following: "YP didn't find any results."
The service didn't even return results for a local Wal-Mart that has been in business for over 10 years.
You can use the service to check for information based on a person's name and address, but this must be done right through the YP.com portal.
AnyWho is owned by Yellow Pages, the company that owns YP.com.
411 Reverse Lookup
The 411.com reverse lookup offers several options to lookup a person. This company offers the following ways to search for a person:
- First and last name
- Phone number
- Address
When discussing phone numbers only, you'll be able to view the following information:
- Area code
- Carrier
- City and state
You won't find any advanced information regarding phone numbers. This does provide you with minimal information about a person, but you won't really be able to pinpoint the actual person calling you in most cases.
If the number is within the company's database, you'll find the following additional information:
- Owner of the phone
- Address
- Directions to the owner's residence
- Neighbors
- Related telephone numbers where available
If you want a "full report" of a person, you will be redirected to "Beenverified.com." All of the person's information will be present, and you'll be able to find their social network profiles, age, relatives and eventually be presented with the option to conduct a complete background check on the person.
This is a fairly length process and takes 10 – 20 minutes for all of the reports to be compiled.
While the process seems free, to receive a full report you'll need to sign up for an account and choose a membership package:
- 1 Month: $22.86.
- 3 Month: $14.86.
- 6 Month: $9.83.
Again, basic information is provided through 411 reverse lookup, and if you want further information, you will be redirected to BeenVerified.com to conduct a more thorough search. This is a far more robust option than the AnyWho reverse lookup reviewed previously.
Instant Checkmate
Instant Checkmate provides the most robust, user-friendly interface with their reverse lookup service. When you visit the company's page, you'll want to scroll to the very bottom to find the link to the lookup service.
Once you do, you'll need to plug in the same basic information:
- Area code
- Phone number
The initial process is long and attempts to triangulate the number.
You will need to sign up for an account before any information is provided. I am not sure how much spam this will result in, but Instant Checkmate is one of the more reputable companies that offers reverse lookup services.
Once you sign up for an account, you'll be prompted with the following basic information:
- Carrier
- Line type
- City
- State
Instant Checkmate is a company that offers complete information or background checks on a person, so you'll be prompted to get a "full report." The "full report" comes at a premium, which is $18.45 monthly.
You can, however, receive a 5 day unlimited trial for just $1.00.
The trial will provide you with the following:
- A detailed report for the number you looked up.
- Unlimited phone number lookups.
- Customer support access.
All of the reports are able to be viewed online, and may include the following information about the owner:
- Full name
- Current address
- Past address history
You'll also be able to see past owners of the phone number as well as satellite views of the owner's current and past addresses. More information may be provided, but the company does not provide further details on the information that may be supplied.
You will not receive call logs of any kind.
The $1 trial is well worth the cost. If you do not plan on continuing the service, make sure that you cancel before your 5 day trial is up, or you will be charged $18.45 a month until you cancel your account.
Overall, Instant Checkmate provides the most robust phone lookup currently reviewed.
The eVerify company offers a lot of background and personal information about a person. When you only have a phone number, you can use the phone lookup service for some free information.
You will receive the same information for free as all of the other providers on this list:
- Area
- Type of phone
- Carrier
You're not provided with much information, but you're able to purchase a full report. There is also a 5 day free trial with eVerify. This is slightly lower than the $1 trial of Instant Checkmate, and you'll get unlimited access to:
- Background checks
- Criminal records
- Reverse phone services
- People lookup
- Email lookup
- Vital records
There is a lot of great information in the free trial that eVerify offers, and it does provide more information than the free trial that Instant Checkmate offers.
If you want a full report for the number that you're currently investigating, you will need to pay $19.95. What do you get for this price?
- Name
- Phone numbers
- Criminal and court records
- Bankruptcy information
- Property ownership
- Current and previous address history
- Relatives and associations
You'll receive a lot of information about a person when you pay the $19.95 fee.
In terms of the free trial, eVerify has the most powerful and complete free trial offering on the list so far.
Let's see what Mr. Number has to offer.
Mr. Number
The Mr. Number service is an actual app that will provide you with instant information about a number. When looking at just the reverse phone lookup, you're left with a very handy app that does provide great information about a number based off of the company's user database.
The great thing about Mr. Number is you'll be able to see what others say about numbers – great for spam callers.
What you'll get with the Mr. Number app is:
- 20 free lookups
- The name of the person who called
- Access to mobile and landlines
You won't receive as much information as the other services on the list, but you will know who is calling. Once you've used up your 20 free lookups, you'll pay $1.99 for each additional 20 lookups.
The app does allow you to block numbers and it can be used as a business caller ID.
Keep in mind that this is the least robust lookup service, and you will need to use the app to gain access to this service. All of the other services listed can be used directly on the company's web portal without the need to download an app or any programs.
The Best Free Service
If you're looking for the best free service, our choice is 411 lookup. Why? If you come across a number that is listed within the company's database, you'll be able to see the owner of the number and their address.
All of the other free services offer just the basic location of the owner and the provider.
In essence, there isn't much information provided for free with the other services, aside from Mr. Number. This service does allow for 20 free lookups, but very limited information is provided.
The Best Trial
The best trial goes to eVerify.
The company does not charge you a dime for the free trial, and you'll be able to view a lot more information than you'll find on Instant Checkmate's free trial.
The two are very close in terms of the information provided, and as a complete service, Instant Checkmate wins, but eVerify wins in terms of what they offer in their free trial.

Skip to comments.40-state sweep
Posted on 04/18/2012 6:19:47 PM PDT by QT3.14
Two years ago today, I predicted a 51-seat gain in the House of Representatives for the Republican Party. At the time, experts gave Democrats better than even odds of maintaining the House. Given that they had a 76-seat advantage Republicans would need to flip 39 seats to take the House that seemed reasonable. To be sure, most voters wanted the newly enacted Obamacare repealed, but experts said voters would get over that by November, when the economy picked up.
(Excerpt) Read more at blogs.dailymail.com ...
We'll see.
I don't agree on the 40 state sweep and don't consider it productive to speculate, but I do consider this a very strong year for the GOP as long as we stay motivated to go the the polls. I've said for two years (on FR and not just professionally) that this election will be an up or down vote on BO, and the GOP nominee is almost irrelevant in terms of the election outcome, so I'll agree that this is all about Obama. It's just a shame that Romney is leading for the nomination.
Having Romney as the candidate would be the best thing for Obama because it could suppress the conservative vote, which would affect not only the presidential election but also all the candidates down-ballot.
I think the people who are backing Romney are doing so because they believe he is "electable". But if what you're saying is true, Joe Blow from off the street is "electable".
We need to fight to keep Romney from being the GOP candidate. What's the difference between the feds coercing people into performing abortions against their will and a STATE coercing people into performing abortions against their will? It's tyranny either way, and as long as our candidate is just as bad as Obama on Obamacare we've shot ourselves in the foot on an issue that resonates with 60-75% of the public.
Romney will keep the Republican vote down ~ maybe by as much as 15 or 20% if the Virginia experience is any guide.
But obama has the opposite effect on republican voters. So maybe it's a wash.
Too bad that chart is irrelevant. Newt won't be on the ballot in November.
That leaves us with 0bama, and 0bama-lite.
You would have to shoot me, chain me to a wall, run me over w a steamroller, shoot a nuke in my hood to get me from not voting this communist demon out of office in November
This guy links his 2010 article in the article itself. I hate Romney, but I am ABO.
You could put up BTK killer, oj, BTK killer, vandersloot, madoff, whoever, I will vote to oust the usurper.
Whatever boost Obama gives you'll lose all of that and then some ~ historic low turnout fur shur!
I'll see your 40 and bet 46....zero is that bad. Although I wish it were newt, it won't make any difference who heads the ticket. By Nov people will be flat out angry and disgusted.
If it looks like Obama will lose in a landslide he'll make sure we don't have an election rather than try to steal it. They can only steal it if the polls allow it.
Actually there is a huge difference. You can move from a state freely. That's the whole point of our federal system: States can experiment with (even really bad) stuff, and people can vote with their feet. Leaving the US is a whole different thing.
That said, RomneyCare did lay the groundwork for ObamaCare - including mandated abortions - and for that I can't forgive Romney.
That is a great chart! Odumb0/Romney positions versus Newt! Go Newt! As Winston Churchill said, Don't ever, ever, ever, ever give up (or something like that!)
Big time. I totally disagree with the notion Obama and Romney are the same...Romney can be pushed to the right--Rush Limbaugh and Daniel Henninger of the Wall Street Journal have been saying that for a while. Obama cannot.
Obama hates Israel. Romney doesn't.
Obama hates capitalism. Romney is a capitalist, whatever else he may be.
Yeah, Romney has some paternalism in him...but heck, so did Ronald Reagan (did you see Ann Coulter's link to Reagan's 1987 plans for "Catastrophic" national health insurance?)....this doesn't mean he is an Alinsky Disciple.
Of course Romney needs to have a strong conservative House and Senate holding him in check...but I'd rather take my chances at a Romney White House and a couple of Republican houses of Congress than the Obamaphiles and two Democrat houses....hell, look what happened to the Republic from 2009 to 2011.
BS. Obama has at least 240 EVs guaranteed to him on a silver platter before the first popular votes are counted. Romney has roughly 170.
The days of GOPers blowing out Dem opponents are long gone. The browning demographics and the massive numbers in the dependency class have wiped all the traditional advantages away.
The most comical piece in the story is the idea Romney could put New England in play. Oh, please.
I agree with Ted Nugent.......It is so important that Zero is defeated, that if the R Candidate turns out to be Romney, we all do everything in our power to get him elected and bring this four year nightmare to an end!
I wanted Sarah Palin.....then one-by-one, several others, and none of them were Romney. But if it turns out to BE Romney, I'll be @#%&! if I;m going to sit home and pout and suck my thumb because I didn't get my way! Neither YOU, nor I, nor our formerly Blessed Country can withstand 4 more years of Marxism and unelected Czars!
This article s nothing but insular, self-congratulatory drivel.
The author assumes that everybody hates Obama as much as we do. They don't. There is a large chunk of the American electorate who can't wait to vote for him again because they think they'll finally get some o' dat pie this time around.
Thinking that Blue states are going to vote for Romney in the *general* just because liberal Republicans (who generally make up small minorities of the total voter pool) in these states went for Romney in the *primary* is the height of foolishness.
Obama's campaign will be so hypocritical that they will have no problem simultaneously defending ObamaCare while hanging Romneycare around Willard's neck like a boat anchor. At the very best, we can expect that Romney will be neutralised on this issue by his own continued support of Romneycare.
Romney will depress conservative voter turnout like nobody's business. You think 2008 with McCain was bad? Wait until Romney kills the downticket turnout and loses us the House as well as losing to Obama.
Thanks GOP-E. You've done your job well.

This is false. If the primaries didn't push him to the right, then the general certainly isn't going to, and neither is having a pliable Congress.
Yes, there's a difference in scope.
So what happens if we take the guy who coerced abortions in the small scope he had, and put him in charge of regulating the entire federal government?
Something that most people don't realize is that the role of precedents in our judicial system makes us perfectly vulnerable to the Islamists' methods for taking over a country. You get a precedent set in a local area, and then you use that precedent to push into more and more territory.
Sharia is the goal of Islamists, and it's where government forces obedience to Muslim dictates and punishes/penalizes non-Muslims. The ideal way for anybody to take over a system is to create a shell/template and then just "tweak" it and eventually give it the real name of what it is. That's what The New Party (with Obama as a signed member) was supposed to do to the democratic party in Chicago. Use the name and shell of the democratic party but repopulate it with communists. Same thing that Saddam Hussein did with CNN and Soros has done with Fox: use the name and credibility of CNN/Fox but just repopulate it with propaganda pieces. Take over the brand while keeping the brand name.
Well.... by claiming that states don't have to honor religious liberty, Romney is providing the platform for the Islamists to do their localized precedents. And by getting the government to require Christians (non-Muslims) to violate their own religious beliefs, Romney is also providing the SHELL for the Islamists to take over. Government is already establishing the religion of anti-Christianity; it's just a small step from there for the government to establish a pro-Muslim religion.
Obamacare goes farther in that direction. It exempts Muslims but not Christians - thus creating a "dhimmi tax" for non-Muslims while giving official government preference to Islam. Exactly what we would expect from a guy who told the Egyptian ambassador that he was and still is a Muslim who supports the Muslim agenda. (The agenda all sects of Islam agree upon is the destruction of the US and Israel and the institution of worldwide sharia).
I don't believe that Romney is a Muslim, but without even realizing it, he is playing right into the hand of the Islamists. That may be why George Soros has said there's no difference between Romney and Obama. Either one will further the goals of the communist-Islamist alliance that is headed by George Soros. Romney, like Hillary, supports many of the goals from the communist ("progressive") side of that alliance, without realizing that in the end it will also serve the Islamist purpose. Both entities want the government to be "god".
Boo! Hiss! Boo! Hiss! (Stamping feet on ground) Bad on Mitt Romney for pulling ahead of Obama in the polls and for possibly winning 40 states this November. Shame on the Republicans who voted for Mitt Romney in the primaries and put him in place to win the nomination (Making gagging sound and clawing at my chest) Boo! Hiss! Mitt Romney ties his dog to the top of his car and has a funny haircut! Boo! Hiss!
OK, now that I have that act of self-flagellation out of the way, let me state that the GOP could exhume Richard Nixon and put him on the ticket this year and still lick the socialist American-hating Obama.
But the focus this November needs to be down-ticket. We have a chance to replicate the same success we had in the 2010 mid-terms and take back the senate to boot. If we do that, it won't really matter who the president is. If it's Romney, we will force him to the right. If it's somehow Obama, our congressional majorities will stop his agenda dead in its tracks. So go ahead and vote third party this year for president, write in Sarah Palin or just leave the damn thing blank. Just make sure you vote conservative all the rest of the way down the ballot.
"Romney will keep the Republican vote down"
Voter fraud is a huge problem in many States.
In Connecticut we saw it in Bridgeport and the CT Democrats Legislatures are going along with Atty. General Eric Holder statement, that there is no problem with voter fraud, want to have no ID! for voting!
Oh are we ever screwed... if we don't have Conservative Monitors in every polling place.
I am an attorney in NYC and have done election fraud investigation and monitoring every year since 2000.
I will do so again this year. Obama has to go! those who want a second term of this communist can bite me. If I am banned for that so. Be it. I hate Obama and everything he stands for. If some can't grasp the mortal danger a second term of this ghetto tyrant represents , then what else can one say?
Do I smell blog pimping?
Thank you!!
How did you go about being a monitor? Private mail if you don't want to say.
I agree with Henninger and Limbaugh.
I called the RNC and told them I was an attorney who wanted to get involved.
In 2000 I was in NYC and was almost assaulted by union thugs in the Bronx.
in 2004 I spent a week in Jax Florida.
In 2008 I spent a week in pittsburgh PA for McCain.
Only reason I volunteered in 2008 was due to palin. 2004 was ablest and GWB ran a great campaign. although I am a NY Guido , I loved Jax Florida. Great people!!!
Once I saw who had made the counter-points, there was no need to read them.
I am, however, idly wondering if you will keep flailing away for the next 8 1/2 years?
"I dont believe that Romney is a Muslim, but without even realizing it, he is playing right into the hand of the Islamists."
I do believe that Obama is a Muslim, and fully realizing it, he is deliberately playing right into the hands of the Islamists.
He makes solid points for a remote observer. I hope enough Americans read the tea leaves in the same, sane manner. I expect them to.
Romney as the candidate will not keep this conservative from voting for him. I swore for years here on fr that I would nevernevernever vote for McCain. I voted for McCain. I know now that I can't have the candidate I want but I can get rid of the more dangerous one. It's silly to say that Romney is equivalent to Obama. I know a lot of people here who voted for him in 08!! So, speak for yourself. We never had a candidate that could beat Romney, sad to say. Palin / Rubio / Ryan didn't run.
The only thing keeping Gingrich from beating Romney is people who have given up.
If we can keep Romney from getting half of the remaining votes we can keep Romney from becoming the GOP candidate. That's not an impossible task. We can do this if we have the will.
Those of us who despise Congress for not having the will to resist Obama's agenda need to do some serious soul-searching if we lack the will to get a conservative on the ballot.
If there is a 40 state blowout, it will be in the Kenyan's favor, not Romney's.
Well, you're free to be wrong too.
We absolutely need to get rid of Obama.
Which is one reason we should choose as our candidate somebody who sides with the 60-75% of the public who don't believe that government should force everybody to buy a product.
It would also make it a lot easier for people like me to support our candidate if it was somebody who DIDN'T coerce people into performing abortions against their will.
As long as we're still in the primary we need to fight for the best candidate we can have, and I don't believe that's Romney. Not for principles and not for electability either.
Yep, Gas could be $7.999 a gallon and Inflation and Unemployment could both be 30%+ and Obama would still likely win because those people would still eagerly vote for him.
I also believe that, and that's why if it is between Romney and Obama I will plug my nose and pull the lever for Romney.
But Romney isn't running against Obama right now. He's running against Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul. I just switched my voter registration from independent to republican so I can vote for Gingrich.
Accidental sharia is better than deliberate sharia, but no sharia at all beats them both by light-years.
I think Bishop Willard the Fetus Slayer will win. But, just as he governed to the left of Bill Clinton as governor, I look for him to govern to the left of Bill CLinton as POTUS. A supine GOP will go right along with it too.
"You knew I was a snake when you picked me up."
Well, I have thought for a year that it would be a very big GOP victory, even with Romney.
I hope this happens. I'd feel better if he had a more inspiring nominee.
That's right. But only 100 senators -- seven states have no senators, because of racism.

I agree with you, it's a joke. And Rove probably did have something to do with it -- then threw it on this guy's desk while he was out to lunch, and ran out of the building.
I think not even the RiNO's believe this pap. I think what is in play here, is to see whether a constant stream of Romney articles can fetch the conservatives when the RiNO's whistle, and engage them in the Yacht Club's behalf behind their mega luser candidate.
This is more about trying to housebreak conservatives than anything else. The election may be a 40-state sweep, but it'll be for the Democrats -- Slick '96 all over again, and for the same reason.
<OT> Remember, speaking of Slick's re-up campaign in 1996, that the Yacht Club was quietly grooming Dubya in the background. Bob Dole actually winning would have been .... inconvenient.
Something like that may be happening here -- I would suspect that they are trying above all else to make sure the conservatives can't spoil a planned Jeb Bush launch for 2016 (by which time the depression will probably have played out so they can take the credit), if that is what they are doing.

All Pochman has been asked to do is replace Morten Andersen, the likely future Hall of Fame kicker who was not resigned because of salary cap reasons. Pochman has never kicked a field goal in an NFL game (he missed his two attempts last season) and what Jim Fassel put him up to following the afternoon practice was designed to get a glimpse into what the young kicker is made of.
Fassel decided to do what he always does around this time in training camp. He put the heat on his kicker, making a deal with the team that if Pochman hit a 47-yard field goal, there would be no conditioning running after practice.
First, Fassel showed a flair for the dramatic. He called Tiki Barber and Michael Strahan to come forward and asked them to devise a plan for the contest. "I figured those guys had to come to an agreement on something,'' said Fassel, alluding to the off-season ugliness that created a rift between the two players.
It was decided that on the line was a double-or-nothing proposition. If Pochman made the kick, there would be no running. If he missed, the entire team would have to run six sprints instead of the customary three.
Amid cheers and then hushed quiet, Pochman lined up for the attempt. "He was three sheets of white when he was lining up for it,'' Fassel said.
Pochman's nailed a line drive that sailed through the uprights and was promptly lifted onto the shoulders of Brandon Short, as if Pochman had just won a game with his kick.
"Hopefully, it's one of many that I'll make,'' Pochman said.
Other Camp News
The first live goal-line drills came in the afternoon and it was not a memorable performance for S Shaun Williams. He interfered with TE Taman Bryant in the end zone and then, on consecutive plays, rookie FB Darian Barnes got the best of him.
Barnes first carried Williams into the end zone after a catch and then leveled Williams with a block to spring RB Delvin Joyce for a TD. Damon Washington and FB Aaron Kernek also scored TDs.
There does not seem to be a spot on the roster open for Darnell Dinkins, the fourth quarterback in camp. That doesn't mean Dinkins cannot catch the eye of the head coach. Fassel, commenting Dinkins, said "I like the guy, a lot. Somewhere, somehow I'd like to find a way to work with that young man. He is the single hardest-working player in this camp.''
That sort of praise can't be ignored, even though there is no place to stick Dinkins on the roster, with Kerry Collins, Jesse Palmer and Jason Garrett lined up at the position. Still, it never hurts to impress the head coach.
An impressive athlete at 6-3 and 234 pounds, Dinkins played in college at Pittsburgh, where he was at times shifted to defensive back, receiver and a variety of other positions. "I think I played everything and drove the team bus at Pitt,'' he said.
Dinkins may be an interesting prospect, but he already is far ahead of the other three quarterbacks when it comes to the post-practice sprints. "Jason [Garrett] tells me 'Dink, if you're going to beat us, don't beat us by 20 yards,' '' Dinkins said.

text: I am so sorry. I do think your girl will eventually be able to move on. When I lived in my condo, my dogs were bombarded by loose dogs and dogs' on flexileads all of the time. They became quite defensive and a bit aggressive on their leashes. We moved almost 2 years ago, and now that doesn't happen anymore I have been able to take them into pet food stores, etc, and they no longer want to lash out, rather they relax and ignore other dogs. I am sorry you had to go through this. I don't miss having to walk my dogs in public at all anymore.

Blue Dons top Brooke
WELLSBURG – Defending West Virginia Class A baseball champion Madonna got off to a strong start to the 2013 season with a 7-2 victory at Class AAA Brooke Saturday.
"It's awesome," said Madonna head coach T.J. Brancazio. "It's always good to come into Brooke, a big school and (Brooke head coach Ron) coach Ujcich runs a good program, and get win."
Luca Fuscardo and Tory Fuscardo combined to hold the Bruins to just four hits. Luca Fuscardo picked up the win, surrendering just one run on one hit over five frames. Tory Fuscardo finished the final two frames giving up an unearned run and three hits.
"I feel real good about the effort," said Brancazio. "This is the third time we've been outside all spring so the kids responded well. The pitching has been real good in the gym.
"We looked real good. We got some clutch hits today from some guys. I'm real happy today."
The Blue Dons opened the scoring with a pair in the second inning. Tory Fuscardo and Nick Mazur drew back-to-back one-out walks. Kaleb Baire picked up the first Madonna RBI of the season with a single that plated Tory Fuscardo. Mazur was put out on a Vinny Merico fielder's choice that put Baire at second. Baire went on to steal third and then score on a passed ball to make the game 2-0 Blue Dons.
"We've got to be able to get outside and work on some things," said Ujcich. "That's the bottom line. We've only been out to the field about one time, and I think it showed on a few defensive plays. Just communication was a big key.
"Being able to get to some ground balls and make some routine plays. A few of those, if we make them, turns the tide of the game. Maybe we don't give up as many runs."
Luca Fuscardo pushed the lead to 3-0 with a third inning single that scored Nick Ossman.
Madonna broke things open with a three-spot in the fourth. Ossman and Mike Rogers did the damage with run-scoring singles. Rogers drove in Mazur with his hit with Ossman follwing up by knocking in Baire and Merico to put the score at 6-0 visitors after four.
Heath Hildreth earned the only hit the Bruins got off Luca Fuscardo in the fifth with a single that sent home Russell Schwertfeger.
Ossman scored on an error in the sixth for Madonna and Schwertfeger on a passed ball in the seventh for Brooke to make the final 7-2 Blue Dons.
"I thought our pitchers threw well," said Ujcich. "They threw strikes. I thought for the most part we played good defense. We needed some timely hits, we didn't do that, and that comes with time and reps as the season goes on."
Both teams are scheduled for action Monday with Madonna (1-0) at city-rival Weir and Brooke headed to Linsly.

It was a great win at the Britannia for Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool - but at what cost?
Philppe Coutinho and Dejan Lovren both left the pitch in the first half of the Capital One Cup semi-final with suspected hamstring pulls while Kolo Toure was also struggling at the end, although it is hoped this will just be confirmed as cramp.
Martin Skrtel is already out and Mamadou Sakho missed the semi-final with a minor knee injury, leaving the prospect of Liverpool having virtually no fit centre backs for Friday night's trip to Exeter in the FA Cup third round.
Liverpool fans were reacting to the growing injury list as the night unfolded.
Some black humour seemed the only way to get through it but there was no doubt the injuries cast a shadow on what should have been a big step towards Wembley for Klopp's men.
Some fans were enquiring about the availability of Reds' legend Jamie Carragher - sadly in Australia for the Legends game - and even the possible return of Daniel Agger.
And after a decent showing for the U21s on Tuesday, a few even mentioned the return of Jose Enrique to the first team fold.
Here's some of the best reaction from Twitter:
Can Grujic play centre-back?— Jim Boardman (@JimBoardman) January 5, 2016
As far as I can see/find out, Daniel Agger's contract is up in summer and he has played 90 mins in 12 of last 13 league games…— Karl Matchett (@karlmatchett) January 5, 2016
