Number of Women Not in Labor Force at Historic High
While Democrats and especially the Obama Administration is still trying to proliferate the idea that Republicans are waging a war on women, the real truth is starting to become even clearer. Obama’s attempt to create this fictitious war in order to distract from his failed economic policies is starting to seriously backfire.

Right Change: U.S. Has 55 Daily Encounters with “Suspected Terrorists”
Last week, we learned that the TSA pat downs and naked screeners would not have caught the latest underwear bomber. The only thing that stopped a potential terrorist attack last week was a CIA informant who posed as an Al Qaeda member willing to bomb an airplane made by Ibrahim Al-Asiri. Experts said that any future suicide bomb attempts on an airplane would not have been stopped by the TSA. Homeland Security director Janet Napolitano argued there was a “high likelihood” the bomber would have been stopped. One top law enforcement official insisted, “They would not have gotten them.”

How Republicans Plan to Avoid Taxmageddon
With the possibility of “Taxmageddon” looming over United State’s taxpayers, House Republicans are trying to get a head start in overhauling the tax code. If Congress fails to act before December 31st, 2012, the Bush era tax cuts are scheduled to expire. This would cause a slew of tax increases on Americans. Taxes will be raised on investment income, estates and gifts, and earnings at all levels. The marriage penalty for joint filers will return, the child credit will drop $500, and the rate everyone pays on the first $8,700 of wages will jump to 15%. The Social Security payroll tax that Congress voted on in February will expire, and the new Medicare taxes that are a part of Obamacare will be imposed upon anyone who makes more than $200,000. All of these taxes could potentially take...

Obama’s Private Equity Hypocrisy
How many faces does Obama truly have? One can only imagine how hard it must be for him to keep up. His double speak occurs so frequently that at least one of them is bound to slip through the cracks and into the public spotlight. Obama launched a new round of negative TV ads against Mitt Romney, calling him a “heartless” “job destroyer” referring to his experience with Bain Capital. The Obama Reelection Team should have reviewed the most basic public relations strategy before they released these ads: timing is everything.

Can the Hispanic Vote Carry Romney?
Barack Obama won the White House in 2008 thanks in no small part to his overwhelming popularity with Hispanic voters. This popularity stemmed from the soon-to-be-president’s promise that he would pass an immigration reform bill within the first two months of his first term. Despite the fact Obama controlled the congress and had little trouble getting bills passed (see Obamacare and the multiple stimulus packages), no attempt was made to follow through on this promise.

Why the Establishment Misses Lugar
Why does this have the establishment up in arms? Lugar was one of their own; part of the “old boy” network. He was out of touch. The "senator to the world" was a visitor in his home state. He didn't even have a residence in Indiana. He sold his Indiana home in 1977 to reside in the Washington suburbs, and had become more a creature of the Washington establishment than a beloved son. When he was in the Hoosier state, he stayed in hotels and billed the taxpayers. That cost him big in Tuesday's primary.
