Open Letter From a Black Republican Women to the GOP
Dear Reince Priebus: I was raised as an agnostic socialist. I became conservative as an adult after I had a unique opportunity to see how the policies I had supported all my life actually worked when applied. Black Republican Women Kira Davis writes a letter to RNC Head. (Media Credit: The Independent Journal) I read the whole Constitution for the first time and I fell in love with this country. I researched and reasoned. I believe our path as a nation has been ordained and blessed by God. The success of American values has drawn freedom-seeking immigrants from across the globe in hopes of finding some measure of personal success. As I always say, America doesn’t owe anyone an opportunity, America IS the opportunity. Lately, we have seen that opportunity being maligned and [...]

President Obama re-elected a dark hour for the Republic
By Doc Vega President Barack Hussein Obama was re-elected tonight by virtue of a campaign that has been marred by ugly allegations and slander by the Democratic Party. Tonight the American people missed a unique opportunity and that was to regain the greatness once known by this nation. By re-electing a President who has caused great controversy, Constitutional crises, and racial division, the American people voiced their desire to accept less in expectation of themselves and more for what they think the government ought to be doing for them. John F. Kennedy, a beloved US President, once made a grand statement lost upon the current generation of Americans. He said, “ ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.” In uttering those great words, JFK [...]

Image Credit: theweek.com - Bryan Mitchell/Getty Images By: Edmund Jenks - West Coast Editor In an age of government takeovers and crony-capitalism, the citizens of the United States are uniquely connected as partners in business. Today, a poor earnings/profit report was released just six days before a national election is scheduled to take place - the election for President of the United States. The poor earnings/profit report was released by General Motors, which was taken through bankruptcy in a process that greatly damaged trust throughout the investor and business community ... a Federal Government takeover. This action changed the ownership of one of the largest manufacturing enterprises in the world from one based on [...]
Chance of Split Electoral-Popular Vote Very Real – Charlie Cook
Despite the playing field pretty much agreed upon, when you get down to the last handful or so of states, the best polling firms from each party are coming up with widely disparate results, with very different turnout assumptions as the best explanation for the disparity. With President Obama pulling 90 to 95 percent of the African-American vote, 70 percent of Latinos, and 60 percent of the 18- to 29-year-old vote, the turnout assumptions for each group make huge differences in a very close race. To the extent that any one, two or all three groups turn out in proportions similar to 2008, Obama would do significantly better than if each of the three votes in proportions more like 2000 or 2004 (adjusting for population changes in the three groups). It’s somewhat more complicated than [...]
Polling Report: October 9, 2012
by Bob Grundfest Tell me that you saw this coming. Liar. With four weeks to go before the election, we seem to have the race we thought we'd have: close, hard-fought, and partisan. It's how we landed here that's most interesting. Mitt Romney received a negative bounce out of the GOP convention and his 47% comments further eroded his support. Then came last week's debate in Denver and the president's implosion, which has led to a surge in Republican enthusiasm that's brought us to today. The improving unemployment rate is also exerting its influence, but so far it's difficult to gauge just how much it's affecting the race. It's likely that we are still in a volatile polling episode and it will take a few more days to determine the extent of Romney's rebound and Obama's reaction [...]
Polling On the Eve of the Debate
by Bob Grundfest The pace of polling has slowed down since last week, but the overall trend is still towards Barack Obama in the swing states. His national numbers are somewhat closer, but Gallup (RV poll) still has him up six and Rasmussen has him leading by one, which is down two points from Monday. New Quinnipiac and CNN polls have Obama ahead by four and three, respectively, and the Washington Times has him up nine. There has been a great deal of debate in the polling world, that has spilled over into the general population, about poll methodologies and whether the national polling firms are oversampling Democrats to arrive at their numbers. My view is that the polling firms are seeing a shift in the number of people who are identifying themselves as Democrats and are adjusting [...]
Paul Ryans Address Text To The Republican National Convention
Paul Ryan From Mitt Romney's Facebook Wall Posted By: Edmund Jenks - West Coast Editor This posting was placed here so that the text of the speech was easy to find. The liberty has been taken to italicize key sections of the speech that we, at Politisite, felt carried the greatest impact. FROM YAHOO: Below are the prepared remarks of Paul Ryan's remarks Wednesday at the Republican National Convention: Mr. Chairman, delegates, and fellow citizens: I am honored by the support of this convention for vice president of the United States.

I accept the calling of my generation to give our children the America that was given to us, with opportunity for the young [...]
The Wisdom of Hope
By: M.J. Rusaw “It is better to beg than steal, it is better to work than beg.” —Confucius Chess players learn there is no benefit to a bad idea succeeding. Even for the most charismatic leaders, bad ideas inevitably bring catastrophe — sudden failure. Electing the most inexperienced, liberal senator in America to lead our nation at a time parallel to the Great Depression was a bad idea. However, he told us the truth. He promised he would fundamentally transform America, and even though America is a values system, and that’s like promising to fundamentally transform the endowment of our Creator of certain inalienable rights, chief among them the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, he began immediately to do it. This November, America has a critical [...]
