By Favoring Money Romney Cements His Disregard for Environment
Much of this year’s presidential election campaign has focused on the economy. While that’s certainly no great surprise, one topic that must be prioritized is the environment. Mitt Romney’s vow to de-regulate the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in order to appease his fossil fuel burning donors clearly demonstrates he favors making money over protecting the environment. His blatant disregard for the environment is there for everyone to see. Why the Obama campaign hasn’t made more of this issue remains something of a mystery.

VIDEO: Hardball with Chris Matthews: Woman Calls Obama A Communist
On Hardball, hours before the vice presidential debate, a woman tells Chris Matthews that President Obama is a communist. I can’t help but think this woman might show more clarity of thought if instead of right-wing propaganda, she was under the influence of drugs:

I’m Not Going to Play the Semantics Game, Mitt Romney is a Liar
In his Wall Street Journal piece, (“Obama and the L-Word“), Daniel Henninger says “liar” is a “potent and ugly word with a sleazy political pedigree.” He says calling someone a “liar” crosses a line and it “suggests bad faith and conscious duplicity.” Crosses a line? Sure, if you are lying about someone lying. But calling someone a liar “suggests bad faith and conscious duplicity”? Well yeah, that is the point isn’t it?

Romney and Ryan: Higher Military Spending, Lower Taxes — Fiscal Hawks?
Can you be called a “fiscal hawk” or a “deficit hawk” if you are pushing for higher military spending along with a built-in floor that stipulates “core defense spending” must be maintained at 4% of GDP? Can you be called a fiscal or deficit hawk if you advocate for lower, across-the-board tax cuts at a time when the federal government is running trillion-dollar-plus deficits?

Jon Stewart: Sesame Street is “Trying to brainwash and indoctrinate Americans”
Oh sure, Sesame Street looks perfectly harmless, but boiling under the surface is a Marxist plot to indoctrinate American children. And now that Mitt Romney has taken out Big Bird, a new revolutionist has risen. His name is Che Grovera:

Paul Krugman: It Is The Job Of The News Media To Report Falsehoods
The media’s unwillingness or inability to consistently fact-check politicians and other high-profile newsmakers, is one of the primary reasons this blog exists. The Left Call is not a fact-checking site, but I do my best to represent the facts and then tell it as I see it. Yes, I have liberal bias, but I do not have an “us” vs. “them” style agenda. My goal is not to defeat Republicans or defeat conservatives. My goal is to promote and achieve civil rights, equality, tolerance — In other words, freedom and liberty for all.
