Persons who only make our nation's bad times worse by spewing ill-timed hate and prejudice ought to keep their microphones turned off.
Sheldon Adelson, the largest foreign investor in China, has invested tens of millions of dollars in influencing the 2012 election and has vowed to spend $100 million to put his thumb on the scale for Mitt Romney in November.
With all that is and should be important to Americans – just over a hundred days before we select our president – it is baffling as to why the media is so hell-bent on holding on to the Bain Capital story involving presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
It turns out Romney either lied to the American public or filed an incomplete and incompetent IRS return in 2010. W. Mitt Romney is hiding the document that reveals more information about the money he is hiding in financial institutions favored by despots, terrorists, drug dealers, money launderers and tax cheats.
Paul not only speaks to many people but also for many people. He has earned his right to speak – regardless of the rules and politics.

Shortly after he finished an enthusiastic rally in Irwin, Westmoreland County, Mitt Romney sat down with KDKA Political Editor Jon Delano. Romney was told that his Irwin event was the most energetic of the four he's had here. He said people are waking up to President Obama.
One day after Rush Limbaugh called on W. Mitt Romney to use racist attacks against the President, Romney dispatched campaign surrogate John Sununu to deliver a message to the first African American President of the United States: we will teach you how to be an American.
Harry Reid got – as he often does – in calling Republican donors "angry old white men". Imagine the reaction if House Speaker John Boehner were to say something such as: support or donations to Obama made by 17 angry black men.
An enthusiastic crowd of nearly 1,000 supporters in Irwin, Westmoreland County, heard Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney go on the attack against the Democratic incumbent.
W. Mitt Romney's campaign is struggling to get some simple facts straight. When did he leave Bain? Why is his signature on new business documents in 2002 if he "retroactively retired" in 1999? Why is the sworn testimony he provided at his 2002 ballot access hearing in Massachusetts in conflict with his financial disclosure documents?
Obama would serve the country better if he quit the name-calling, went back home, and actually accomplished something for this nation.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney returns to the region on Tuesday afternoon -- this time to North Huntingdon, Westmoreland County, where the former governor will visit Horizontal Wireline Services.
The demand for W. Mitt Romney to release his tax returns has become bipartisan. Conservative elected officials and pundits know that Romney is taking on so much water over his secrecy and questions of his honesty and that he has no other choice.
When it comes to the candidates' pasts, Obama – not Romney - should be on the defensive. Obviously, questions about Obama have been unanswered for a longer period of time than Romney's.
They were once in a bitter Primary fight, but on Saturday, former Republican Presidential candidate Rick Santorum was out campaigning for Mitt Romney in Westmoreland County.
Down to the trademark "W", W. Mitt Romney is literally the second coming of the George W. Bush: the economic strategy that led to the worst American economy since the Great Depression and the Bush legacy of secrecy in the face of questions from the American public.
As unpopular as the thought may be at this stage of the 2012 election process, having a female on the ticket may still be something America is not ready for.
Romney had an opportunity to open a dialogue with the NAACP. Instead he talked about denying civil rights to a civil rights organization and spoke in condescending and paternalistic terms about being a better president for African Americans than Barack Obama. It was a clear and cynical play for white votes.
Obama's latest speech on tax cuts for the middle class is just a retread of his tired class warfare rhetoric and strategy.
Thousands stood in the intense heat to listen to President Obama speak. Officials at CMU began letting ticketholders in shortly before noon. The line stretched nearly a mile to enter security.
With all the communicative access to current local, national, and global information, expecting the masses to settle for media headlines and sound bites is insulting to today's technologically-aware audience.
