• Sen. McCain Reaches Breaking Point Discussing Benghazi With Media: I Don’t Expect You to ‘Understand Our Veterans’

  November 5, 2012 at 6:56pm

  Thank you, Senator McCain.

  I am a veteran. I care about jobs. I care about the fact that Senator Reid has been an obstructionist. I care about the fact that there has been no budget for over 3 years.

  But most of all, I care about the men and women who are serving our country, who are putting themselves in harms way, knowing that there will thankless millions when they return.

  To think that the Commander in Chief, the COMMANDER IN CHIEF, does not have their back is unacceptable. It is bad enough that many of the politicians who make decisions that affect the lives and livelihoods of the armed forces have no experience in the armed forces, the fact that some of those who are elected POTUS have no experience and will never be in harms way, but to think that there is a COMMANDER IN CHIEF who will not make the call to allow service men and women to protect themselves is reprehensible.

  The media talking heads should keep their ignorant thoughts to themselves if they cannot understand the sacrifices made by the men and women, many of whom don’t agree with the politics of Washington at ANY given moment.

• Yet Another CEO Asks Employees to Vote Romney for Sake of the Company (And Their Jobs)

  October 14, 2012 at 5:46pm

  The interesting part of this story is not that an employer would recommend to his workers to vote in a manner that he thinks is in the best interest of the company. What is interesting is that this is a story worth reporting.

  Unions TAKE money from workers then give those worker’s money to parties and candidates on a too regular basis. They then tell those same workers, whose money they have TAKEN, how to vote.

  This employer is not taking money from his workers. He is not threatening their jobs, unlike the union approach, where workers must allow money to be TAKEN or they cannot work. This employer is simply sharing his opinion on what he thinks is the best choice for his workers.

  America is becoming a scary place when someone who is intelligent enough to manage assets, navigate the government bureaucracy, and run a company in a successful manner is not able to advise his workers. After all, who will get blamed if the company does shut down? The first person blamed is the guy making the big decisions.

  Romney has a history of being successful at business. Obama has a history of picking losers. I think any sane business student (or Vegas odds-maker) would pick Romney over Obama.
