So Romney came out today and told everyone that he has, in fact, paid his taxes for the past 10 years, and then he said that Harry Reid should now reveal his mysterious source. But as we all know, anonymous sources are anonymous for a reason. Usually because they might lose their position or job, or maybe even get targeted for an old gangster-style whacking. In Reid’s case, it is more likely that he doesn’t want anyone to know that he gets his tips from his imaginary friend, Koko the giant sock monkey.

But, that whole business is really irrelevant, and Romney and Ryan seem to understand that, which is why they are starting to whip out the white boards and do math in front of a live audience. It sounds risky…doing actual math in front of people during a campaign. I mean, math for most people is a real buzz-kill. Especially for people on the left. Math is too objective for them to really “dig”. They might like imaginary numbers though.

See, Romney, who is Mr. Business, and Ryan, who is Mr. Numbers, are kinda like those nerds in high school that were on the debate team, the glee club, and worst of all, the Math Team. It doesn’t get nerdier than that folks. And Obama is like, Mr. Cool. He can’t really add 2 +2, and doesn’t even know how many states there are, but he is cool, man. The mom jeans moment notwithstanding.

I guess that makes the American public like, high school kids or something. It’s just natural to say “haha, Romney is a dork.”, and stuff him in a locker with Harry Reid and his sock monkey when you’re too cool for school. But it’s all fun and games until…the big math exam comes up.

Then what happens? Can the cool kids save you then? Nope. That’s when you start letting the dorks sit with you at the lunch table in exchange for some study help for that big math test. Because, you’re too cool to know how to do math. And the school Quarterback, Obama…well he doesn’t know anything about math either. He’ll still pick on you for sitting with the dorks, but he’s going to fail his math test.

Maybe if we’re lucky, he’ll get kicked off the football team too.

If you empathize with a shooter, or any terrorist,because of something you’ve read about a “hate group” you are part of the problem.

Here’s a left-winger finally trying to follow her abortion views to the honest conclusion and argue she should have been aborted. Because that is the sort of thing any abortion supporter must ultimately argue unless they want to imply there’s something wrong with abortion. I mean, you were just a clump of cells; killing you then was nothing bad to be avoided.

Who knew killing your own kind could lead to weird moral areas?

If dinner tastes awful, maybe seconds will help. Some insist that bad ideas will be improved by enacting more severe versions of them, as liberals are convinced that their policies fail only because we diluted the intensity of them. Societal contentment will come in the form of going off the rails instead of just teetering near danger.

There’s plenty more where that came from. I just wanted to make sure you at least saw that particular slice of bacon.

Polling shows Romney up in all the swing states. I was one of those who thought Romney could just coast to election by not being Obama, but after all the hopes Obama has dashed, people really need something to vote for. And with the Ryan pick, the Republicans are now the adults ready to really do something about the bloated government and skyrocketing debt and the Democrats are — well, bitter losers with no ideas and lots of incoherent anger.

So let’s be positive about the future. That is the theme of my next book, so positivity will really help promote it which is important for our country.

You know why Republicans want people to have photo IDs? Because when someone hands you a photo ID, it will have a picture of that person on it allowing you to see what race he is so you can discriminate against him!

There just so much dumb in the left’s railing against photo IDs. I love this confident assertion by Bill Maher that poor black people are less than children — just incapable of obtaining a free photo ID. One day we really need to confront the patronizing racism of the left that just as bad as anything during the 60s. Unlike the right, the left never get scrutinized about racism so they’ve been allowed to get away with horrendous views.

Also, the left keeps saying we never find any voter fraud of this kind. Yes, BECAUSE YOU NEVER ALLOW US TO TAKE ANY MEASURES TO LOOK FOR IT! I know the idea of someone going to the polls and pretending to be someone they’re not to vote sounds so complex and scifi, but it can happen and has.

And really, considering all the things you need a photo ID for in modern life, wouldn’t a caring liberal have gotten on this issue of lack of photo IDs long ago? I mean, shouldn’t the focus be to get everyone photo IDs so people can enter federal buildings, ride the train, buy cold medicine, and do everything else those rich 1% with photo IDs do?

But the left doesn’t care. As it’s good to remember, there are only two thing the left really care about: Winning elections and feeling superior. Everything else ranks far below that. They only like this photo ID issue so they can make yet more disingenuous charges of racism because they think that helps them — even though, as Maher demonstrates, they’re the ones who don’t think very much of minorities. And the other reason is they don’t want to end voter fraud because they’re well aware of who that benefits.
