The Romney Campaign has put out a great ad today that seems to sum up the attitudes of today’s Millennial generation.
We have only 42 days left before America votes – Now is the time for advocacy; now is the time to elevate our message of freedom. As a reader of this blog, we encourage and invite you to dig a little deeper and reach out to others – share the message of freedom. Develop an email list, use social media, engage in daily conversations – share the message of freedom and liberty.
Knowledge is power. The more we know and the better informed we are, the more effective we can be. The media is filled with bias and, at times, it is difficult to discern truth. We have witnessed a mainstream media that knows no bounds – they suppress or distort truth and they filter what they report so as to promote and protect the President. The cable news shows, MSNBC, CNN, and others are so far in the tank for the President, it is difficult at best to tolerate their reporting. Further, the current polls are so skewed, they offer little relief in knowing where things really stand. Amidst it all, FoxNews tries its best at fair and balanced. The internet can also provide a plethora of information, some of which is true and some not. So, where can we go for critical and accurate information?
The Drudge Report is a tremendous aggregator of information. Matt Drudge is the bane of the mainstream media and accused by them of bias, which is a testament of Drudge’s integrity!
Real Clear Politics is another aggregator without a perceived bias.
Mitt Romney Central – biased as we may be, we strive for accuracy and integrity in our information.
Hugh Hewitt – Hugh does a tremendous job at providing information with integrity and substance. He has his bias, but clearly delineates what is opinion.
On The Brink FB page – I try to link to substantive information regularly in support of the tenets of On The Brink, America’s Choice 2012
Mitt Romney Central FB – Again, we strive for accuracy and integrity in our posts.
Dennis Prager – an intelligent and cogent source for information.
National Review – Rich Lowry has done an admiral job in trying to distill truth amid the cacophony of news.
There are several others, some of which can be inflammatory in their reporting in an attempt to elevate the debate, such as Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity. Even so, they provide fodder for provocative thought and further study. There are others, but I have found those above to be informative.
The need to be informed has never been greater as we fight for our freedoms and liberties.
As to polls, below is a report card of accuracy and consistency from the 2008 election cycle.

As I ponder on the great, lasting, real changes that occur in people and institutions and realizing that the only thing we really have control of is ourselves or our reactions to circumstances I think an interesting response to “you can’t change Washington from the inside” is “you can ONLY change Washington from the inside.” Maybe Romney can focus group that response!
Until the people IN Washington are different Washington won’t be different! Changes from the outside will only be cosmetic.
I agree. Hopefully that ad will air when Modern Family or the Big Bang Theory is on TV because that is what young people are watching.
Also, we have to keep ‘asking’ for the vote. It is “a hard job” but we all knew that going in and there is no giving up. Let’s all including the Romey’s and Ryan’s keep asking for the vote and be honored to get it. As Michelle Obama told 10,000 students, Florida came down to a very few votes and every vote counts, so talk to everyone about how you feel about Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.
Remember, Undecideds and closet Democrats for Romney. Behind the voting curtain…
*No one will know who you vote for.
*It’s just you and your conscious.
*You can FINALLY vote for the candidate YOU know will do the best job.
*No one will demonize you.
*No one can call you a racist.
*Your liberal friends will have no idea.
*You will know YOU made the right choice for the country, and you still can keep your liberal friends.
Life is good!
Romney &Ryan 2012
I have watched the national media news, CBS, NBC and ABC for the last time. After a 2 second report on Libya. I thought the media was suppose to report the facts and the public should come to a conclusion. We are not stupid.
The media is so bias toward this administration, I refuse to watch another broadcast of the media not reporting the facts. The American people should wake up before it is too late. WE MUST TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK!
The incompetent Obama is Losing big the rural votes.hehehehehehehe.. We’ve to HELP out get out the vote efforts for rural voters. I’m still optimistic. We’ll win huge in this election. DO NOT let Obummers intimidate you. Get involve.
“The rural voters polled favored Romney by 14 points, giving him 54 percent. They said Romney would do a better job with the economy (54 percent), with rural issues (47 percent) and with sharing their values (52 percent). More than half are comfortable with Romney as commander in chief and with him keeping the nation safe and secure.”

I am happy to hear that others are turning off channels that are so bias. I also cancel Newspapers that do the same. Same thing with magazines. If we are going to spend our money we should not have to listen to lies. Peoples Magazine is pretty bad among others. We might as well donate to Obama if we are going to support the bias. This is our new American Revolution. Stand up for our values and freedom before it’s too late! We wont survive another four years. The whisper to the Russians, the debt, Obama care and the known communist czars should be enough to defeat him. Just get the message out. Not to mention that China owns us. Pray for Mitt.
