Originally published by Communities @ Washington Times, Written by Bob Siegel SAN DIEGO, October 4, 2012 — The mainstream media has been throwing a hissy fit over Romney’s obvious Wednesday night victory.

Dick Morris: Swing State Polls Are Rigged
From Dick Morris… After Wednesday night’s smashing debate victory for Romney, we may expect the national and swing state polls to change in the Republican’s direction. But not by as much as they should. These polls are biased in favor of Obama and here’s the data to prove it: From noted Republican pollster John McLaughlin comes a clear and convincing …
Amazing! I now think Romney has a VERY good chance to win.
For the first time since the start of the Presidential election cycle, I think the GOP has a very good chance to unseat Barack Obama. This first Presidential debate went VERY well for Mitt Romney — much better than I had anticipated. In contrast, Obama further demonstrated that he’s an empty suit. Maybe he would have done better with the “empty chair” …
I urge a “Yes” vote on Proposition 31
The New York Post recently noted the exact problem with California’s state budget — the rate of growth is higher than rate of inflation, for some years (1991 to 2009) even double the rate of inflation. Since our elected officials in Sacramento have shown they can’t balance a budget and need some guidance, Proposition 31 gives it to them. Among …

Never mind, Romney. It won’t be a real debate anyway
Originally published by Communities @ Washinton Times October 1, 2012 At long last, the first debate between President Obama and Governor Romney approaches. Many Conservatives view this as a make-or-break event for Romney. Everyone and his brother is offering advice to the poor guy. Relax, Governor, no matter how well you do, no matter what you say, no matter what …

Why has Mitt Romney stopped talking about the Middle East?
Originally published by Communities @ Washington Times SAN DIEGO, September 23, 2012 — Presidential candidate Mitt Romney continues to aggressively challenge Obama’s economic policies, but he’s been conspicuously quiet about foreign policy since being attacked by that pack of wolves called the mainstream media. After crawling away to lick his wounds, Romney 4.0 became 3.0 once again. Sooner or later …

Looming Sequestration and Defense – Obama Pressure to Violate the Law
Without taking a position on the wisdom of sequestration, I have it on good authority that it is the official policy of the Department of Defense not to plan for the eventuality; despite widespread belief that it will. In my opinion, this is because the word has come down from the administration to ignore what is happening so that defense …

Why I urge a “no” vote on Propositions 30 and 38
Are you tired of the failure on the part of our representatives in Sacramento to create a real balanced budget without the usual “smoke and mirror” approach, or using overly optimistic revenue projections that are never reached (or even end up close)? Are you tired of the “I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today” approach? Are you sick …
The Steve Danon Race for Supervisor – Restoring The Public Trust
During the past few years, public trust in government has deteriorated—and rightfully so. Leaders at all levels of government have thrown fiscal restraint out the window and prioritized their own political interests above the public good. And frankly it makes the job much harder for those of us who haven’t! Now, more than ever, we need candidates for office who …
The Taxman!
In the mid-1960s, as the they continued riding a wave of popularity, The Beatles released the classic album Revolver, which opened with the song “Taxman.” If you drive a car, I’ll tax the street … If you try to sit, I’ll tax your seat … If you get too cold, I’ll tax the heat … If you take a walk, I’ll …
California Looking for New Ways to Steal Worker’s Money
Well, that’s not what Jerry Brown and legislative Democrats claim their bill would do, but how can we doubt that wouldn’t be the effect. Here is what they are claiming, as reported in the SacBee: The goal is to create a savings program in which workers who have no access to a pension can count on a guaranteed rate of …
