Citizens United: the Real Story

Liberals distort and demagogue every issue they promote, but none more than their rants against the Citizens United SCOTUS decision. The radical Tides Foundation has spent heavily on the production and marketing of a series of leftist propaganda through an outfit that goes by the name, The Story of Stuff Project. One of these videos, narrated by leftist spokeswoman Annie Leonard., focuses on the Citizens United SCOTUS decision. The video is comprised of vacuous leftist talking points designed not to enlighten but to deceive. Thankfully, an excellent counter video was produced by Lee Doran which presents a point by point critique of Annie Leonard's inane leftist "arguments".

SCOTUS Likely to Rule Obamacare Unconstitutional

UPDATE:  Heard enough lame analysis from the lame stream media on Obamacare and the SCOTUS decision? As usual, we turn to “prediction markets” for some sanity. Not legal here in the US, prediction markets allow people to make bets on event outcomes. We looked at prediction markets during the Walker recall election after noticing that the lapdog media was spinning the election polling in favor of their union comrades. The actual betting results on the morning of June 5, 2012 (Recall election day) gave Walker a 93% chance of victory. The consensus in the lame stream media was that the race was too close to call

Since the predictions of free individuals putting their money-where-their-mouth-is was so at odds with what the "experts" were saying, we decided to take a closer look at the upcoming SOTUS decision on Obamacare. The chart below shows a rolling 90-day closing price from the political prediction market, Intrade. Note that this graph is continually updated. Each number on the price scale represents the market-based probability in percentage terms for the event occurring (in this case, that the individual mandate is rule unconstitutional). A price of 75 represents a 75% probability of SOTUS declaring Obamacare unconstitutional.

Obamacare Expected to be Ruled Unconstitutional

On the morning of June 5, prior to any exit poll reporting or election results from the Wisconsin recall election, we reported that the lapdog media was spinning the election polling in favor of their union comrades. We based our analysis on results from “prediction markets” where people are free to bet on political outcomes. The actual betting results on the morning of June 5, 2012 gave Walker a 93% chance of victory. The consensus in the lame stream media was that the race was too close to call.

Anna Wintour Looking for Payback: Ambassadorship

We know from history that when socialist policies utterly fail--as they always do--regimes and their promoters become unhinged and the lies become more transparent. And that seems to be what is taking place in the Axelrod-Plouffe Obama 2012 effort. After facing stiff competition in the West Virginia Democratic primary from a Federal Inmate, who received 40% in this usual Democratic stronghold, the Obama team is reaching new levels of absurdity. Can there be a more nauseating political promotion than a Hollywood .001%er supporting Obama by falsely claiming he was "the guy who created 4 million new jobs"? As usual, reality departs sharply from socialist propaganda. This month, there are 1.4 million FEWER jobs than when Obama took office, as explained in this Bill O'Reilly exchange.



Back to my original question. Can there be a more nauseating political promotion? The answer to that is a resounding yes. Below is an invitation by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, aka Cruella Deville, to enter a contest to dine with her, Jessica Sarah Parker, and the Obamas. Imagine what a low opinion the regime must hold of the American people to think this ad will resonate. But then again, thinking is not the forte of the Obama regime. Remember when Obama was touting the success of Solyndra even though the company was on its deathbed at the time? Obama wasted $500 million taxpayer dollars to benefit his campaign bundler friend George Kaiser. Rumor has it that Anna Wintour-- also a top Obama bundler--is looking for payback from Barack with a prestigious U.S. ambassadorship in London.

Massive Lead for Walker in Recall Election


The lapdog media is spinning the Wisconsin recall election polling in favor of their union comrades. Even the usually reliable Rasmussen is way off on this one--they show only a 5 pt. lead by Walker. However, the graph below shows the results from the "prediction market" known as Intrade, where people are free to bet on election results. And those who put their money-where-their-mouth-is, are betting heavily on Governor Scott Walker. Note that at time of publication, on June 5, the price for a Walker win stood at 93. A closing price of 90 on the graph below equates to a 90% probability of event occurring (in this case, that Scott Walker wins the recall election). A $9 bet against Walker would return $100 if Walker loses.  With returns like that, you can be certain that money hungry Unions would be betting large sums against Walker if they believed he had a reasonable shot at victory. In short, almost no-one is willing to bet on Tom Barrett and the unions. You can learn more about "Prediction Markets" here
