Because far too many people believe her! The corrupt media not only ignores blatant falsehoods but actually creates pathetic ones on their own! Far too many people have been desensitized to anything political to the point of apathy and base their voting opinions based on the general background news they acquire.

I see your point, but...

You can't change Wasserman-Schultz. You can't change the minds of the people who buy into that idiocy. What you can do is entice them to gain better perspective by not believing NPR, the NYT, WaPo, NBC, CBS, CNN, ABC, the AP any of or their local derivatives-they're corrupted by the left.

How do you entice them? Convince them to listen to Rush Limbaugh for 6 weeks. Get them to read Ann Coulter's columns from archive. Have them watch FOX news for a month or two.

Many of those poor, unfortunate souls are too malleable, and are controlled by pressure from their peers, e.g. the Hollywood syndrome.

Some will actually pay attention.

And yeah, I know Limbaugh, Coulter and FOX are slightly right-of-center.

Try to prove the others aren't in the tank for the left.

RADICAL OBAMA REGULATORY CHIEF CASS SUNSTEIN RESIGNS

Breitbart
8/5/12

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Governm...nstein-Resigns

Excerpt:

Cass Sunstein administered the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA). Referred to as OIRA (Oh-eye-rah) in wonky academic circles, it is one of the most powerful behind-the-scenes jobs a person can have because it reviews nearly every regulation for an administrative state that continues to expand.
And on Friday, Sunstein resigned from this post and said he would go back to Harvard, signifying another moment in which a key Obama ally decided it was better to jump ship.

Sunstein once argued in a speech at Harvard that the government could be used to eliminate “practices such as ... meat eating,” argued hunting should be banned (“We ought to ban hunting ... that should be against the law ... it’s time now,” he said), and wrote in a 2004 book that animals should be able to sue in a court of law and have humans represents them as clients.

Few represented President Barack Obama’s academic aloofness and air of intellectual superiority more than Sunstein and Obama essentially asked the radical professor what job he would want in his administration.

That would explain why he was given enormous power to review the language of Obamacare. Sunstein also reviewed Dodd-Frank, which is destroying small banks, environmental regulations, new food rules -- such as changing the food pyramid to a plate -- and a variety of fuel efficiency standards. He was also in charge of E.P.A. regulations that created new standards for carbon emissions from various-sized plants, which burdened businesses and created more economic uncertainty for those trying to start businesses or build manufacturing plants at home.

In truth, Sunstein -- and OIRA -- reviewed nearly everything in the vast administrative state. His power is more significant in dealing with under-the-radar rules and regulations that often go unnoticed.

The New York Times aptly described Sunstein as someone who “came to Washington to test his theories of human behavior and economic efficiency in the laboratory of the federal government.”

Like Obama’s, these academic theories are often not grounded in reality, and that is why they fail miserably.

Sunstein and the White House declined to comment directly to any outlet on Friday. The White House just released a brief statement which said “For the last three and a half years, Cass Sunstein has helped drive a series of historic accomplishments on behalf of the American people.

So I'm half-watching the news, and they begin touting a story on the latest Quinnipiac poll out of Virginia, which shows Obama ahead of Romney by 49% to 45%. They speculate on various reasons why Obama has pulled ahead from a poll last month and whether Virginia is essential to Romney.

Of course, as is typical, they don't really tell you anything about the poll itself. So I pulled up the poll (which is actually of three states - CO, VA and WI) here.

For Virginia, the party IDs are 23% Republican, 30% Democrat, and 40% independent. DO you suppose a +7 Democrat party ID might help put Obama ahead in a poll?

So in a state with a Republican Governor, Republican Lt. Governor, Republican Attorney General, Republican-controlled Senate, Republican-controlled House of Delegates, and 8 Republicans in its 11-person US Congressional delegation, the pollsters found only 23 Republicans for every 100 people they polled.

By the way, here in northern Virginia we are being bombarded by Obama attack ads, with the response mainly coming from RNC and independent PAC ads, and a much smaller percentage of ads directly from the Romney campaign.

The conservative base is on fire after Mitt Romney’s announcement of Paul Ryan as his running mate. Andrea Saul, advisor to Romney, tweeted this morning that the Romney campaign raised $3.5 million online in the 24 hours after the announcement.


This is the most powerful crystallizing moment the Romney campaign has had since the Supreme Court’s ObamaCare decision; Romney raised $4.2 million within 24 hours of that decision.

The palpable excitement over Ryan’s selection contrasts sharply with Barack Obama’s announcement of Joe Biden 2008. In August of 2008, when Obama picked Biden, contributions to the Obama campaign actually decreased from the previous month.

For the first time since he began running for president, Republican Mitt Romney has the support of over 40 percent of America's youth vote, a troubling sign for President Obama who built his 2008 victory with the overwhelming support of younger, idealistic voters.

Pollster John Zogby of JZ Analytics told Secrets Tuesday that Romney received 41 percent in his weekend poll of 1,117 likely voters, for the first time crossing the 40 percent mark. What's more, he said that Romney is the only Republican of those who competed in the primaries to score so high among 18-29 year olds.

"This is the first time I am seeing Romney's numbers this high among 18-29 year olds," said Zogby. "This could be trouble for Obama who needs every young voter he can get."

Zogby helped Secrets dig deeper into his weekend poll, which we reported on earlier. The poll had Romney and Obama tied at 46 percent.

Zogby has been especially interested in the youth vote this election. In 2008, 66 percent chose Obama over Sen. John McCain,the highest percentage for a Democrat in three decades. But their desire for hope and change has turned to disillusionment and unemployment. Zogby calls them "CENGAs" for "college-educated, not going anywhere."

In his latest poll, Obama receives just 49 percent of the youth vote when pitted against Romney, who received 41 percent. In another question, the independent candidacy of Gary Johnson is included, and here Obama wins 50 percent, Romney 38 percent and Johnson 5 percent.

But while taking Johnson out of the equation in the past has seen a surge in support for Obama, now the numbers for Romney--and undecideds--increase.

Zogby speculates that Romney's selection of 42-year-old Rep. Paul Ryan helped turn more younger voters to him. "It could be his youthfulness," said Zogby of Ryan. Plus, he said, more younger voters are becoming libertarian, distrustful of current elected officials and worried that they are going to get stuck with the nation's looming fiscal bill.

"They want change," said Zogby.

Add to that list Sean Hannity, and Mark "Let me educate you pal" Levin. I just love it when he says that!

lol This guy's ludicrosity knows no bounds. The majority is waking up, finally, and asking themselves what I've asked myself for nearly four years..."How did this guy get this job?!"

You'd have to work at it pretty hard to be a worse President than Carter or Clinton, but he's managed it pretty well. How did he get the job? The MSM was the kingmaker here, he is a media creation, and just like the MSM, he's all image, no substance.

Artur Davis comments on an administration that he once supported.

"Four years ago, Davis was onstage at the Democratic convention: a fast-rising congressman from Alabama, so close to Obama that he provided the official “second” for Obama’s nomination."

This keeps up...watch for a wag-the-dog scenario.
