Gallup Shows Romney Up…Axelrod Calls Foul

Gallup Shows Romney Up…Axelrod Calls Foul

Comments 0 Comment

Sure didn’t hear much about polling methods when they were ahead by 3 points, wonder what happened that the numbers are wrong now.

A Nod To Drudge

David Axelrod, President Obama’s top campaign strategist, responded to Gallup polls showing Mitt Romney leading the president by criticizing the pollster.

“Gallup is saddled with some methodological problems,” Axelrod tweeted today. He also directed Twitterati to a National Journal piece arguing that Gallup polls showing Romney in the lead “has a sample that looks much more like the electorate in 2010 than the voting population that is likely to turn out in 2012.”

Gallup released a poll this afternoon showing Romney leading Obama 48 percent to 43 percent. Gallup showed Obama leading Romney throughout most of March.
 

$1.3 Million for $2 Billion Stimulized Unemployed

$1.3 Million for $2 Billion Stimulized Unemployed

Amazing our complacency of outright fraud.

Sometimes the stories write themselves.  Here are the facts…

  • A Colorado-based consulting, engineering and construction firm, named CH2M Hill, was awarded nearly $2 billion from the stimulus to perform cleanup work at the Hanford nuclear site.
  • The company used those funds to hire roughly 1,300 employees.
  • They then inflated the hiring numbers by using a Department of Energy metric known as “lives touched”, which allowed them to boast that the stimulus helped somehow helped or ‘touched’ three-and-a-half times as many people as they had actually employed.
  • When the stimulus funds ran out, so did the ability to support the jobs created or lives touched.  Roughly 1,500 employees were laid off.
The Department of Labor has awarded a $1.3 million National Emergency Grant to help laid-off Hanford workers find jobs.
The largest portion of the money will be used for retraining former Hanford workers who lost their jobs as federal economic stimulus spending at the nuclear reservation came to an end.
“This grant will serve as a safety net for workers and their families during these challenging economic times,” Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., said in a statement. Murray and Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., sent a letter to Hilda Solis, the secretary of labor, in February, requesting consideration of a state application for the grant.
The money will help an estimated 400 former Hanford workers seeking jobs, giving them intensive employment-related assistance, including training, to help them re-enter the work force in areas of the economy that are growing, according to the Department of Labor…
…  The grant is intended to provide money for workers laid off from DOE Hanford prime contractors CH2M Hill Plateau Remediation Co. and Mission Support Alliance and more than 10 subcontractors…
 “Workers formerly employed at the Hanford site are facing the challenge of finding jobs comparable to the ones they lost,” Solis said in a statement. “This federal grant aims to help lessen the negative impact of these layoffs.”

Natural Born Citizen Debate

Natural Born Citizen Debate

Got this in an e-mail. True story…apparently.

If it is God help us! we are in trouble……………

Natural born citizen, this just might make your day a little
brighter!!

You, who worry about democrats versus republicans — relax, here is
our real problem. In a Purdue University classroom, they were discussing
the qualifications to be President of the United States . It was pretty
simple. The candidate must be a natural born citizen of at least 35years
of age. However, one girl in the class immediately started in on how unfair
was the requirement to be a natural born citizen. In short, her opinion was
that this requirement prevented many capable individuals from becoming
president. The class was taking it in and letting her rant, and not many
jaws hit the floor when she wrapped up her argument by stating, “What makes
a natural born citizen any more qualified to lead this country than one born
by C-section?”

Yep, these are the same kinds of 18-year-olds that are now voting in
our elections!

THEY BREED AND WALK AMONG US…LORD —WE NEED MORE HELP THAN WE
THOUGHT WE DID

Obama Implements Amnesty Measure for Votes

Obama Implements Amnesty Measure for Votes

Comments 1 comment

In it’s rush to ensure that Barack Obama get’s his second term, the Department of Homeland Security is granting “backdoor amnesty” to illegal aliens from Mexico. The Obama administration began implementing the program in 2010 and has now sent the measure to the Federal Register, which is the daily journal of the U.S. Government.
The measure is called “unlawful presence waiver” and is granted to ANY illegal who can prove they have a relative in the United States.

We are boned!

In its quest to implement stealth amnesty, the Obama Administration is working behind the scenes to halt the deportation of certain illegal immigrants by granting them “unlawful presence waivers.”

The new measure would apply to illegal aliens who are relatives of American citizens. Here is how it would work, according to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announcement posted in today’s Federal Register, the daily journal of the U.S. government; the agency will grant “unlawful presence waivers” to illegal aliens who can prove they have a relative that’s a U.S. citizen.

Currently such aliens must return to their native country and request a waiver of inadmissibility in an existing overseas immigrant visa process. In other words, they must enter the U.S. legally as thousands of foreigners do on a yearly basis. Besides the obvious security issues, changing this would be like rewarding bad behavior in a child. It doesn’t make sense. 

The administration also claims that relaxing the rule will also “create efficiencies for both the U.S. government and most applicants.” How exactly is not listed in the Federal Register announcement, which gives the public 60 days to comment. That’s only a formality since the DHS has indicated that the change is pretty much a done deal.

This appears to be part of the Obama Administration’s bigger plan to blow off Congress by using its executive powers to grant illegal immigrants backdoor amnesty. The plan has been in the works for years and in 2010 Texas’s largest newspaper published an exposé about a then-secret DHS initiative that systematically cancelled pending deportations. The remarkable program stunned the legal profession and baffled immigration attorneys who said the government bounced their clients’ deportation even when expulsion was virtually guaranteed.

In late 2011 a mainstream newspaper obtained internal Homeland Security documents outlining “sweeping changes” in immigration enforcement that halt the deportation of illegal aliens with no criminal records. This also includes a nationwide “training program” to assure that enforcement agents and prosecuting attorneys don’t remove illegal immigrants who haven’t been convicted of crimes.
