A new television commercial from Congressman Joe Donnelly out this week proclaims that “Jackie is lying” about his record on Medicare. The ad is in response to an ad the Walorski Campaign ran a week earlier which pointed out that Donnelly’s vote for the health care takeover in March cut $500 billion from Medicare.

Micah Clark’s weekly Update
The Foxes Are Guarding the Hen House

As if you need more evidence that every election matters or that the 2012 election will also be of vital importance, it is clear that the Obama Administration is systematically undermining the Judeo-Christian roots of our nation. Last week California federal Judge, Virginia Phillips, ruled that the 1993 military policy banning open homosexuals from the military was unconstitutional. Overlooked in most media reports is that every other federal court has upheld “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell,” and that there has never been a constitutional right to serve in the military. To the contrary the US military has the right and the obligation to set standards which best ensure unit cohesion and effectiveness. Read the rest of this entry »

Sylvia Smith is bemoaning the fact that the Stutzman campaign reached out to Fort Wayne Community School teachers and offered them a chance for students to participate in a political campaign.

In a poll conducted by American Viewpoint of 400 likely voters in the 3rd Congressional District from July 19-20, 2010, Stutzman holds nearly a two-to-one lead over Democrat Thomas Hayhurst, 56% – 29%.

Give it up Tommy-boy.

There has been reports of push-polling in Indiana’s 2nd congressional last night. The caller asked if the person planned on voting for Joe Donnelly, and if not, why. Then they were asked if they would vote for Jackie Walorski.

They then asked if they would still vote for her. That’s standard push-polling, bar none. But it gets more interesting then that.

New York University Study Won’t Go Over Well with the Far Left

Yesterday, Dr. Patrick Egan with the Department of Politics at New York University released a study covering a decade of research on political polling on homosexual marriage efforts.

The caucus was an interesting process. I’m glad it’s over, but we’ll have another within a few weeks to replace Matt Bell who is now officially off the ballot for state rep. in district 83 .

While at the caucus today I was told something about one of the candidates, Ryan Elijah, and decided to ask Ryan personally if it was true.
