LIBERALISM RUINED MY PARENTING. But I'm going to stick with it anyway.

MARK STEYN: The Age of Intolerance.

Yes, I'd have a hard time tolerating the guy on the left, too.

THE ENTIRETY OF POLITICS FOR OBAMA: getting people to vote for him. Successful politics begins there. Obama’s politics end there.

SURPRISED? "[Obama's] kind of a self-centered jerk when you get right down to it."

THE MID-TERM ELECTION? It's not a wave election ... it's worse.

NATIONAL SECURITY: Extremists' routing of Syrian rebels thwarts Obama's strategy. But that's okay; the Obama 'strategy' was only designed to last until the mid-term election, which it did.

AVIATION WEEK: China's J-20 Stealth Fighter.

The J-20’s primary mission ... may be to use stealth and speed to break through the [defensive combat air patrol] CAP and threaten vital tankers and ISR platforms. Its range gives it a “long lance” advantage—if the tankers, ISR aircraft and escorts have to stay out of the J-20’s range, the tactical aircraft that they support will not have the airborne radar cover or range needed to reach their targets.

Also, an anti-radar missile would give the J-20 some capability against shipping, even with internal weapons. .

In a very broad sense, the J-20 could turn out to be an analogue to the Soviet-era Tu-22M2/3 Backfire bomber—an efficient and practical blend of low-risk technologies that generates options for its users and difficult problems for its adversaries.

A long article, but interesting.

THE DEMOCRATS are so desperate they resorted to honesty:

Democrats 2014                         we spent your $$$--

Follow the link to the fact check site, where you'll find that under Nancy Pelosi's 'leadership' the national debt increased by a $3.66 billion per day. Before her, Dennis Hastert, a Republican, added a mere $1.05 billion, and before that, Newt Gingrich was a piker, adding only $556 million per day.

Just for grins, I checked on John Boehner who, while no slouch himself, is still minor league compared to Pelosi: an average $2.81 billion per day so far.

JONI ERNST ON LEFTIST LUNACY: “Don’t worry folks, I’ve seen worse. But it was in Iraq.”

UPDATE & BUMP: Much more here.

ERIC HOLDER deploys poll-watchers to look for “discrimination”. Yeah, all those Republicans going to the polls today are intimidating African-Americans, Hispanics, illegal immigrants, and other victim groups from voting.

I DID MY PART. I voted against Mark Warner.

Now it's time for the rest of you to step up and do yours.

FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION pushes new rules for flying in icy weather.

The new rules ... will test the design, performance and handling of these airplanes to certify them to fly through freezing rain and drizzle.

The FAA estimates the new safety requirements will cost industry more than $61 billion to comply with, but they could offer a public benefit worth more than $580 million.

Sixty-one billion spent to achieve a 'public benefit' of 580 million; that makes no sense whatever.

WHAT A LOVELY THOUGHT: Obama will leave the Democrats in shambles.

CONSERVATIVE INTELLIGENCE BRIEFING: What to look for as the polls close tonight.

LOCKHEED'S F-35 LIGHTNING II JOINT STRIKE FIGHTER makes its first arrested landing on the U.S.S. Nimitz.

WASHINGTON EXAMINER: No, Americans don't spend too much on elections:

[T]he truth is that Americans don't spend too much money on politics. Far from it. If anything, they don't take the matter seriously and so don't spend enough. Based on late projections from the Center for Responsive Politics, a grand total of $3.67 billion will be spent in this two-year cycle on the 471 congressional races to be decided today, which is equal to about one-twentieth of one percent of U.S. federal spending.

[T]his is ... much less than what we spend on beer ($83 billion), lottery tickets ($69 billion), pornography ($11 billion), potato chips ($6 billion) and Taco Bell ($6 billion). And according to White House estimates, Americans spend nearly 60 times as much each year ($109 billion) on retail purchases of cocaine, marijuana, heroin and meth.

The only campaign finance reform that will ever work is to reduce the size and scope of the federal government.

VOTER FRAUD IN VIRGINIA: Numerous, credible reports of voting machine irregularities have been reported in Virginia's Second Congressional District. Some voting machines have incorrectly recorded votes for the opposite candidate than the voter selected.



Republicans take note: we have to win beyond the margin for fraud.

REMEMBER THIS WHEN YOU VOTE TODAY: All ages see higher premiums under ObamaCare.

BRING OUT THE BIG GUNS: Kim Kardashian stands with President Obama.

OPTIONAL for Democrats (and other non-citizens):

UPDATE: the deed is done.

ANOTHER UPDATE: I forgot to mention that in order to increase Democrat turnout, our normal polling place has moved to be closer to a Democrat stronghold: the cemetary is now less than 100 yards from where we vote. In fact, I've seen several voters passing through it on the way to the polls.
