Our Principles and Policies radio show for Saturday November 10, 2012. Barry Sheets and Chuck Michaelis do a breakdown on the presidential election and discuss a number of issues peripheral to the election. We get a laugh from armchair pundits who apparently can’t add that think that third party votes cost Romney the election. We show why that’s total nonsense. We also explain how we got suckered by the polls into making incorrect predictions.

Principles and Policies Podcast for 11/6/2012- Just The Facts, Ma’am

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Our Principles and Policies radio show for Tuesday November 6, 2012. Barry Sheets and Chuck Michaelis talk about the electoral implications of an exercise Chuck ran on his Facebook page. Chuck asked supporters of Mitt Romney to provide actual proof of Mitt Romney’s positions. The result? Exactly 0% of the replies (more than 60!) contained ANY proof whatsoever. Exactly 100% of the replies contained attempts to question the motivations behind the exercise, whining about the rules, attempts to bypass the rules, arguing about the rules, claims that the rules were a violation of “freedom to argue,” etc., etc. Now why do you suppose that is?

By the way, you can friend Barry Sheets (Gallipolis, OH) and Chuck Michaelis (Westerville, OH) on Facebook and while you’re at it Like the Institute For Principled Policy and Friends of Camp American.
