First Christmas Card of the Season
I love Christmas lights. They remind me of the people who voted for Obama. They all hang together; half of them don't work, and the ones that do, aren't all that bright.
(I got this email from a friend today. Thought I'd share.)
Conservative Groups' Letter to Lame Duck Congress: Keep Your Promises
Some Republicans in Congress are considering abandoning their "no tax hike" pledge so they can get along with Obama. If they make a deal with the Devil, there will be consequences, according to a conservative women's group.

Pennsylvania Confronts $41B in Pension Deficits
Politicians make promises to labor unions in return for votes and
campaign contributions, but the money to fund lifetime pensions for
union retirees eventually runs out.
Watch Pennsylvania taxpayers get screwed again. It doesn't help that voters continue to return the same members of the permanent political class to Harrisburg every election.
From a report in Bloomberg by Romy Varghese:
Watch Pennsylvania taxpayers get screwed again. It doesn't help that voters continue to return the same members of the permanent political class to Harrisburg every election.
From a report in Bloomberg by Romy Varghese:
Pennsylvania's two public pensions face a combined shortfall of $41 billion, and their costs will consume 62 percent of fiscal 2014 revenue growth, according to a report from the state budget office.
The State Employees’ Retirement System has 65 percent of assets needed to cover projected liabilities, and the Pennsylvania Public School Employees’ Retirement System is 69 percent funded, the report said. The plans cover 817,000 people.Read more about the pension time bomb in Bloomberg.

Democratic Voter Fraud Reaches New Level
Jack Cashill, writing at American Thinker:
Worse than fraud is the process that turned nearly 20,000 black Philadelphians -- and millions of inner-city dwellers throughout the country -- into automatons. Hope does not produce this kind of regimentation. Fear does. In looking at these numbers, in fact, one can begin to see how, 34 years ago this Sunday, in the jungles of Guyana, Jim Jones was able to persuade 918 of his followers, most of them poor and black, to drink their lethal Kool-Aid. Fear can do that.Jack Cashill: Obama's Jonestowns

Chutzpah! Pa. Dems call for investigation into possible voter fraud
What's this? The Democratic Party, which has mastered the art of voter fraud, wants to investigate potential voter fraud in Pennsylvania. Isn't that like asking the fox to watch the hen house?

PA State Rep. Tom Quigley Concedes 146th Dist. Race to Democrat
Quigley,
a popular and highly-regarded state lawmaker, was upset by Democrat
Mark Painter on Nov. 6. Since the margin was about 200 votes and
absentee ballots were not counted, Quigley refused to concede the race.
But after absentee ballots were counted by Montgomery County officials on Friday, the gap remained about 200 votes.
Quigley
said he spoke to Painter earlier in the day in Harrisburg, where
Painter was attending an orientation session for newly-elected
legislators.
Quigley also issued the following statement:
Although he hasn't decided what he will do next, Quigley has not rule out a run for the state Legislature in 2014 to reclaim the 146th District seat.In light of the completed count of all absentee ballots, it is clear that the people of the 146th District have spoken and they have elected Mark Painter as their next Representative. I saw Mark in Harrisburg today, shook hands, congratulated him and wished him well.I would like to take this opportunity to say what a great privilege and pleasure it has been to represent the people of the 146th District. In the past eight years my staff and I have had the chance to meet and serve numerous people in our community. My district office staff; Karen, Joan and Veronika and my Harrisburg staff; Lauren, have provided outstanding service to the many people who have sought our help on numerous issues. I know I speak for them in saying that we will miss that daily interaction and the opportunity to truly make a difference in people's lives.
My district office will be closing at the end of November when my term officially ends. My staff will be contacting those with outstanding issues to direct them to the appropriate person.
Again, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the people of the 146th District for allowing me to serve as your representative.

A silent protest in Pa. over Voter ID?
My take on the matter: A silent protest by Pennsylvania residents against the Democratic Party and its media allies who fought so hard to delay the state's common-sense Voter ID law for this election.
Polls show two-thirds of Pennsylvania residents support the state's Voter ID law.
By the way, with a photo ID to see the correct spelling of the person's name, the poll workers were able to find names quicker in the voter rolls and the line moved quickly. So much for the Democrats' claims that showing an ID would delay people voting.

New York Daily News Endorses Mitt Romney
The ultra-liberal New York Daily News becomes the fourth New York City newspaper to endorse Mitt Romney for president. (Only the New York Times held out. Surprise, surprise).
From the New York Daily News:
The presidential imperative of the times is to energize the economy and get deficits under control to empower the working and middle classes to again enjoy the fruits of an ascendant America.
So The News is compelled to stand with Romney.
Newsday Endorses Mitt Romney For President
Another major newspaper that backed Barack Obama in 2008, has endorsement for Mitt Romney.
Newsday says: Had Barack Obama done the job of president with the same passion and vision he displayed in seeking it, he would likely deserve another term. He did not.

Investor's Business Daily Endorses Romney For President
Investor's Business Daily, one of the nation's leading business
publications, has endorsed Mitt Romney for president, saying Gov. Romney
offers the leadership this country desperately needs afour four
disappointing years under Barack Obama.
From the newspaper's endorsement editorial:
From the newspaper's endorsement editorial:
Because we have a president bent on radically changing America in ways few of us want, Tuesday's vote will be the most important most of us will ever cast. Fortunately, a challenger has stepped forward with the experience, capabilities and character to save the country at this time of peril.Read the full editorial at the newspaper's website.
The nation needs a president who understands how business works; enter Romney of Bain Capital. It needs someone who knows how to turn around a failing enterprise; enter Romney of the Olympics. It needs someone who can work across party lines to get things done; enter Romney the Republican governor of Massachusetts.
Of course, it's a big jump from Boston and Salt Lake to gridlocked Washington, or from private equity to the broken global economy. There's never anything quite as big as the presidency. But Romney is as ready as anyone could be. And if we've learned anything about him by now, it's that he has a way of rising to the occasion.

Democratic candidate spills the beans on Planned Parenthood
Did a Pennsylvania Democratic Congressional candidate spill the beans on abortion-provider Planned Parenthood?
It sure sounds like Planned Parenthood is essentially a front for getting Democratic politicians elected.
Manan Trivedi: 'I bet if Planned Parenthood got more Republicans elected, they wouldn’t be so keen on going after them.'
Gerlach, Trivedi debate Medicare and energy
