The latest ABC News/Washington Post poll is out and it has some sobering news for Democrats with less than three weeks to go until the midterm election. The poll found that President Obama’s approval rating has dropped to a new low of just 40 percent and the Democratic Party’s popularity is at its weakest point in the last 30 years. Despite ABC News declaring that their own poll “has Democrats…

‘Madam Secretary’ Makers Favor Democrats 600 to 1 With $

Whatever you do, remember that Tea Leoni’s on-screen portrayal of the Secretary of State in “Madam Secretary”  is not modeled after Hillary Clinton. Not at all. Nope. And CBS’ controversial new drama isn’t transparent Hillary boosterism. It’s just non-political entertainment brought to you by very political Hollywood liberals. According to OpenSecrets.org, the 13 main (recurring) cast members,…

Barbra Streisand on HuffPost: GOP Budget Cuts Stopped Ebola Vaccine

Barbra Streisand has a new album out of her old hits as duets. She didn't drag out her classic Democratic Party version of "The Way We Were." But her rabid partisanship is getting the better of her on The Huffington Post, dragging out the silly canard that "Republican budget cuts" stopped an Ebola vaccine. She was pleading with women to turn out and vote for liberals, since they're so much…

Deutsch Makes Case for Romney: 'We Kind of Made a Mistake 4 Years Ago'

It was one thing for Joe Scarborough to make the case for Mitt Romney, arguing that these frightening times demand the kind of competence Romney offers.   But on today's Morning Joe, it was stunning to hear a New York Dem like Donny Deutsch say something very similar. According to the ad man: "There is a psychological reason to go to Mitt Romney, and that is: wow!  We kind of made a mistake four…

Arrogance, Ignorance, and Race at CNN and PBS

Brian Stelter used to work for the New York Times. Apparently he doesn’t read it. This curious fact came to light recently when Stelter, now the host of CNN’s obviously erroneously named Reliable Sources, invited PBS “science” correspondent Miles O’Brien on his show. The two zeroed in on this statement from Fox’s Andrea Tantaros: “I've said it before, I'll say it again -- in these countries,…

Oregon's First Lady Is a Wannabe Marijuana Farmer; Networks Ignore

By and large the national liberal media have ignored gubernatorial races this election cycle, preferring to focus on the battle for control of the U.S. Senate. That is perfectly understandable, of course, but not when a juicy watercooler-worthy story comes along like this one.
